Fresher for longer...? I was given some gerber flowers, and told that making a hole horizontally through the stem under the flower would keep them fresher for longer. Is this true? Is there any substance behind it whatsoever?

Take half your flowers and make the hole. Leave the other half whole (excuse the pun).

Record your observations and report back with your results :)
