In trials over several years on tulips, lilies [Lilium sp.], hyacinths, daffodils [Narcissus sp.] and irises [Iris sp.], flowers were picked at various stages of flower-bud maturity, treated with preservatives, growth regulators or water, packed and stored for various lengths of time (usually 3 days at 2 deg C + 1 day at 9 deg ). The results of these trials are reviewed. Flower-bud maturity at harvest was a crucial factor in cut flower quality; for instance, hyacinths were best harvested when some colour was showing and one or more small flowers were bending horizontally off the stem. Postharvest handling and storage practices, such as the need for a constant low temperature during transportation and the recommendation for retailers to recut stems (except in the case of hyacinths) before placing them in cold water, are also discussed.
