Wilting flowers on the altar

I offer flowers on the altar to the Buddha, but as per normal, they dont last very long, and soon the yellow leaves, or drooping leaves will appear.

Of course the offering of flowers is something symbolic. It's there for us to meditate on impermanence. but yet i still would like the flowers to look fresh and beautiful. Life is such an irony.
