Re: Cult: Cut iris preservative


It's not a real one!
I don't mean it's made of plastic of course, but it's a frost resistant palm-looking creature called TRACHYCARPUS !

Looc

Subject: [iris] Cult: Cut iris preservative


There is no better preservative for a vase of irises that a few stems of
roses added. The stinky bacteria that grow on many flowers in bouquets will
not multiply in the presence of roses.  Roses compliment the irises very
nicely also. If I were a scientist, I would study what antibacterial factor
roses produce.
