They get the olfactory outputs to climb to a maximum, but the cells have less stored energy for preservation, that they naturally had to preserve their seed through long cold seasons.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure the industry doesn't mind roses that last only a few days instead of up to two weeks if you change the water and put nutrients into it. I know a guy who works as a florist, and my grandmother was a farmer and gardener for her wealthy neighbors in Tennessee. One told me, the other corroborated.<BR/><BR/>Great luck with your novel, David, You're living the dream. <BR/><BR/>Peace.eric1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/13807078704660045859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-41602705354932304902007-10-15T11:42:00.000+11:002007-10-15T11:42:00.000+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.eric1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/13807078704660045859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-26185914911841640452007-10-15T11:11:00.000+11:002007-10-15T11:11:00.000+11:00Beautiful photo David!
