Dear Doreen,
A good way to keep any cut flower fresh longer, irises included, is to
recut them each day and put a splash of Listerine in the water. This
inhibits the growth of bacteria in the water. Slicing about 1/4" of the
stem off each day insures that it will continue to draw up water. Do this
with a sharp knife rather than scissers.
