Dear Eric: I was so happy to read the question from “Lover of Flowers and Friends” where the hostess receives fresh flowers from guests and feels obligated to unwrap them, cut the stems, put them in the vase, arrange and display them, while greeting other guests and finishing up last-minute preparations.
After encountering this kind gesture from my guests many times over my party-giving career, I came upon a brilliantly simple solution. What I do is place several vases pre-filled with water along my kitchen counter and some in the bathrooms and I simply pop the fresh cut flowers into an already prepared vase. If the wrap is still on the flowers, I still do it and I prepare the flowers the next day.
