Just in time

I bought a tiny bunch of these striped Gerbera flowers yesterday. One of my daughters phoned and two hours later, I realized that I hadn't put these flowers in water. They looked very miserable by this morning, so my photos are of rather wilted flowers. Thanks, Suzie, for your suggestion of cutting a flower right down and placing it in a bowl of water, which is what you see here. I couldn't wait long enough to see if it might revive a little, as the sky darkened and it looked like the forecast snow was approaching. The light from my kitchen window was quickly disappearing - think I got this just in time.
