Will flowers that got no water for 2 weeks come back to life if I start watering them?


Question:I have been out of town for 2 weeks. I called my neighbor and she said that my sprinkler system failed the second day we were gone. If we start watering the flowers again will they come back to life or should we just toss them? She said it was dry and in the low 90s during the daytime.

Answers:
if there is green when you scrape the stem with your fingernail, they will come back. my advise is to spritz the leaves with a sprayer and get them out of too much sun. . plants love sun like we do... in moderation


Well, if they WILL revive, they'll do it within 24 hours of being watered, so try it before you chuck them--what do you have to lose?
are they looking really dead and crunchy? if there is still green on them you might be in luck.. and if your sprinkler system failed you neighbor could have given them some water... LOL,J/K any way.. give them some water if they are going to come back they will start looking better within a few days... good luck!
