These leaves were in a bouquet of flowers, and I’m noticing they’re trying to flower…  
Can I grow them? Tips?  
While taking these pictures I noticed the color was peeling off, I’m guessing they’re painted 🙁

Try and soak the leaves in water, but not the roots. Then try peeling off the paint carefully. Good Luck!
