Cutting Clematis' to bring inside

Bryans Road, MD(Zone 8b)

I am fairly new to growing clematis. I have four plants which do beautifully in my garden. The flowers are large and plentiful.

For the first time, I thought I would bring some of the flowers to work to "show-off". I cut them and wrapped a wet paper towel around the stems. By the time I got to work, most of them had drooped and before the day was over, all of them had drooped.

I guess clematis are not for cutting.
