tulips in the house

I usually get some flowers to liven up the house when I go on my weekly grocery shopping trips. So far, I've mostly gotten gerberas and the occasional sunflower. This week, I came across a very lovely bunch of 10 pink tulips at Coles Supermarket and couldn't resist making the purchase. I placed a stalk in my bedroom and left the other nine in the walkway leading from the main door to the living room. Even Becky commented they look pretty. I just hope they last as long as the gerberas do.
