I think we all realise they won't last forever Tara, but they are nice and bright and cheerful and I enjoy mine for a while at least - better to enjoy something for a while, than never at all.

Re: Sainsbury's Daffy Easter prices
Mmm, strangely, my Tescos was also out of £1 daffs but had plenty of big bunches of tulips, £6 per bunch, which I bought.They are glorious, but the cynic in me is wondering if the supermarkets are deliberately under ordering n the daffs because they want us to buy the more expensive alternative?

Sounds a possibility, twizzle. Or they're keeping them out the back until the dearer flowers are sold.

I have a friend like you, she doesn't "get" cut flowers. She says you just put them in a vase and watch them die!Lots of pretty primulas around that can go in the garden afterwards.

Tara isn't the only one - My daughter in law prefers to see flowers growing in the garden only.So much so that she didn't even have fresh flowers in her wedding bouquet!
Personally - yes I do like the odd bunch - especially daffodils - my favourite flower.

However, I do like some fresh cut flowers to have on the dining table. Certain varieties last a whole week, sometimes more and give me a lot of pleasure every time I see them. I see that as adding value to my day and worth the money.
