I was at the florist yesterday and discovered my newfound obsession with glads too! Yes, you can submerge them! She said they're a lot sturdier than orchids (and better on the budget!). I was looking for something that would stick out of the centerpieces as an alternative to twigs/bells of ireland/beargrass. She said because glads are so sturdy, they won't wilt much. For the same reason, they can be submerged, but be careful, since they are pretty strong, you won't get that curved effect you might get with other vines in the glass, but I love them in the water!
Thank you!! I want them to stick straight up and out the top so it sounds like they will be perfect!
If you don't mind me asking what was the price difference between the glads and the orchids?
YES U CAN! Excatly 5 mins ago I completed a test run of my centerpiece of glads! they were indeed sticking out of the top and you know I'm digging it! My colors are chocolate browns, brunt oranges and touches of greens and gold. So I used the purple and a yellowish-orange color glad. I got them from Dominick's(grocery store in the city of chicago). they were 10 stems for 4$. came out beautifully.
@andreia33: Awesome! Any chance you took pictures??

I love submerged flowers in centerpieces. I know some flowers are too delicate and turn see through when they are submerged. Does anyone know if gladiolus are a flower that can be submerged without this happening?
