They will stay good for about 2 weeks. Cut off the stems all the way to the bloom neck. Float them in a large bowl or multiple bowls of water face up. They look beautiful that way.

Sunflowers droop when they are hot and dry. Mine do that during the day considering there’s been no rain and 105 degree heat index. Early morning with a fresh watering they’ll be standing tall.

I changed water early morning!! :-(

Use a sharp clean knife and cut about an inch off the bottom of the stem. Always cut diagonally, not straight across. These are dehydrated, so ends of stems may have dried out and can't pull water.

They may have wilt, which is bacterial. If they dont perk with fresh cut and fresh water, toss.

They were upright when I bought them from the shop though..

So sunflowers usually need sun as well,even cut. Try putting by a window. If that plus fresh cut and no sugar water doesn't help, then you just got a bad batch from the store.

Have been discussing Neitzsche's Parable of a Madman in my English 10 class. It's super cool how a prominant atheist's message about what you should place your hope/trust in has actually opened the door for tons of discussion about how everyone (atheists and theists) at some point need to grapple with the question: What is the source of your truth and morals? And in this parable, Nietzsche kindof admits/laments that this is a tough question for atheists to answer.

As someone with ADHD, the impulsive side of me speaks up in meetings without fully processing the information. Then when corrected, I beat myself up for the rest of the day.

What has ended up happening over time is that I have started to come off as an introvert (because of the fear of being wrong) and also with low confidence. This is not a good trait in client facing roles where we are constantly making recommendations and clients look up to us.

Anyone else deal with this?
