Summary

Freshly cut flowers placed in water for 14 days in summer or winter showed no bending, except for cultivars Cora and Liesbeth. During the summer, dry storage (4 days at 1 deg C) had no effect on most cultivars but increased the curvature in cultivars Cora and Liesbeth, whereas in winter dry storage increased bending in all cultivars tested.
