White carnations, mini or standard, add a light touch of fragrance to your picnic. Add some red carnations and blue statice for a patroitic theme. Cool your white lilies even more by setting the clear glass vase (holding the stems in preservative solution) into your punch bowl. Pastel colors of chrysanthemums set in groups of small vases create a cool focal point in just about any room. Keep those fresh flowers away from the cool draft of the air conditioner to help them last a long time.
