10 Best Vase-Worthy Spring Flowers

Above all other flowers, tulips are the most iconic spring flower. The key to long-lasting cut tulips is choosing those in the bud stage, especially since the blooms are sure to take shape only hours after being placed in a vase. Make your own floral preservative for tulips with two tablespoons of lemon juice, one tablespoon of sugar and one-half teaspoon of household bleach. This homemade solution will prevent bacteria from growing, giving your blooms at least 10 days in a vase.
