Actually that's a myth. Your nails appear to have grown, but really the skin has receeded; it's just an illusion.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the stems in the cell being more elastic than most cut flowers, and so the extra water makes them turgid and elongate...I think Anemones do it too?

but thats just a guess!
