I sold mine also except for a couple. I had one that broke off about 19" down so I put that in a vase up in the front and it lasted about 5 days. I never recut it though, it was in crystal clear. I have heard that they will last 2 weeks or more. Doesn't seem like that is the case for me. I am thinking maybe it is because of the altitude where I live in Rapid City, SD. I am alittle frustrated because I really wanted to use them more. I'm still thinking I will try some more. I did order 1 box 60c for v day from Doug. I have some 70c Forever Young coming in tomarrow, Thursday, from them. I'm going to take a long at those. Did you order any more Hearts for V Day?
