Default cut flowers

This is a flower feed with an additive to stop fungal growth in the water.
You can add a very little sugar and a spot of bleach to do the same, I use
about 1 Teaspoon (Level, have yet to learn how to do a heaped spoon of
liquid) of bleach to 4 Gallons of water,
This is especially good for flowers like dahlias and Chrysanths where there
is a lot of leaf and soft stem material. I put them into this straight from
cutting and let them stand overnight.
