■ Cut ﬂowers should last about a week, according to Giugni. Remove lower leaves and thorns with a knife. For maxiumum hydratation, cut stems at an angle before placing in water.

■ Remove wilted petals and change ﬂowers’ water every other day. Warm water speeds the opening of ﬂowers; cold water slows down the process.

■ Choose orchids to last: Pick plants with at least three or four ﬂowers, several unopened buds and meaty green leaves. Place the plant in a humid corner, away from drafts and bright lights and dry heat from a radiator. Water sparsely every three days. After the orchid dies, cut it at the knot; it can ﬂower again every year.

FOR CAPTION “The bedroom is my refuge, my tree house,” Mr. Rambeau said, explaining, “we have a king size bed, comfortable couch, books, cats, satellite TV for international music and news channels, iPad, views of the meadow. No curtains here or for that matter anywhere in the house--just natural light pouring in.” Of course they only use white or natural linen on the bed and in the bathroom. “We air dry everything as we like the rough feel of linen. We HATE silk and super ﬁne cotton.”
