Even wilty flowers can be coaxed along for a while with [floral tubes](http://www.save-on-crafts.com/florwatpic24.html), which are pretty dang cheap and available at florists and craft stores like Michaels. If you use these, you’ll want to wrap them with something (like that wrap linked above, or a pretty scarf or length of fabric or paper.)
