Some audience member said, "Don't you know how much lemons cost? Who can afford to let them rot?" Oprah retorted, "Oh, even I don't fill the whole thing full of lemons! Use some crumpled paper underneath and put the lemons on top!"
I love lemons in a bowl too, but I have a better tip: I got a few fake lemons and use them underneath the real ones (I found them at my favorite store TJMaxx, they were inexpensive)...you can't see that they're not real but they give the illusion that they are :)
Not only am I always using lemons for cooking and putting in my ice water, they last so much longer than flowers. Now, don't get me wrong, I love fresh flowers too, but you can get a lot of mileage out of the ol' lemon trick. I keep a big bowl on my dining room table, they add just the right pop of color to the room. Throw in a couple of limes too for a little variety sometime. Easy-peasy style!
