With practice, I believe you'd be able to do the same, should you wish it. And the energy stays with it, forever. cut the bloom from the plant, and it'll survive twice as long in a glass of water than a completely un-tampered with flower, without you having to give it anything else. With a little boost now and then, a bloom could survive in a vase for years, though that seems like it would be a little crueler than letting it return to seed and grow again."
