help with nerine lily bout

[petalpusherswestpoint]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best mechanics to wire nerine lilies for corsages or boutonnieres. I have not done that before, and would rather find out from someone who has done them rather than just faking it.

I have never done them either but I would imagine the same as alstro...Hair wire through calyx....or better yet glue em in..

Yes wire like alstro

I would use glue!

I've found that it's best to glue delicate flowers, because even with the smallest gauge wire, I somehow manage to damage the petals.... so, yes, use glue.
