Default Freezing

The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

is there any thing i can use to stop the water in the flower vases
from freezing at a grave. All the solutions Ive thoiught of would
kill the flowers. Thanks in advance Dave


I have a feeling that any fluid whatsoever which was concentrated enough to
lower the freezing point sufficiently would set osmosis in motion in such a
direction that the flowers would essentially be sucked dry of internal
moisture.


There's a thought then - dessicated by osmosis and freeze-dried flowers.
