Someone once told me that the way to make gerberas last longer is to put them in a tiny bit of water (about 1cm) so they don't get water logged. Not sure if it works but you could try!
Wonderful colours against the black.
They look so good against the black background. The ones that were given to me last time had wire coiled round the stem but the wire was bright pink against the green stem - not a good look. Yours look wonderful.
What a great composition - the bent one reminds me of a ballerina leaning over to point to her toes (not sure why that image) - the colors are terrific.
