I seem to remember something about an Asprin in the water of cut flowers
keeps them going longer.

My mum used to put half an aspirin in the water when she had an orchid
(boxed orchid was a popular mothers' day present for some years). Not
once
did her orchid flower have a heart attack.

Or a headache, presumably :-)

Chris since my Quadruple Heart By-Pass a couple of years ago, I am on a
soluble Disprin every day, (besides a cocktail of other tablets), but it
doesn't stop headaches. But I must admit I don't get many ;-)
