Mixing Flowers?

Hello,

I picked the last of my " Salome" daffodils and lots of very nice tulips from my allotment this afternoon.

My wife mixed them together in different vases, when I said to her that daffs and tulips should never be mixed, she said she had heard that but it was "an old wives tale".

Anyone know the answer?

Ta!

 

M-B they say Don�t mix cut daffodils in with other cut flowers as the daffodils produce a toxin that kills off the other flowers,don't know if it's true or not.

 

wow you learn somthing every day here :D :D

 

Does this mean they shouldn't be composted then or what?

 

I put a spoonful of white vinegar in the water and mine last alright J

 

Thanks for confirming.

Don't know which looks the best this morning, the Daffs or Tulips,are not Gods creations wonderful and beautiful, at the same time!

Cheers

 

UPDATE!

The Daffodils in the mixed vases are over but the Tulips are still going strong!

Tulips in the garden and allotment are putting on "some show."

Cheers
