I totally forgot about this trick for making tulips bloom and stand upright until a facebook friend reminded me via her status. Here’s the great tip: Place a shiny copper penny in the water with tulips to make the buds open and prevent the stems from flopping. The copper in the penny acts as a natural antibacterial and will even extend the life of your fresh-cut flowers. Using a shiny/ new penny will yield the best results.
