what i cannot understand is why anyone would actually want to receive a box of unconditioned roses or have i read it completely wrong. ps i dont think you understand irony, it would be ironic if we all did not know how to look after flowers and were asking a prof to, we all met on the internet and most have a website and we can occasionally pass work to each other not take it away - thats the irony of your question!! ps this site is about offering advice to each other not just us lot telling people who cant be bothered to find anything out on their own how to do it
