Betty,
When the poster includes a photo it should show up as a thumbnail below their message and clicking on this thumbnail photo will pop up a window with the full size photo.
Can you point us to a specific example of where this is not working ? Thanks.

My husband left my Valentines Day roses in the truck over night and they don't look good. I think the temp was in the 20's. Any advice on helping them out? All of the stems are bending.

Sue..........
I am sorry to tell you that the cell structure of the stem of the rose usually breaks down at 20 degrees or less. You might try putting them in warm water to revive them, but I honestly don't think that will work. Just be happy you have a hubby that remembered to buy you roses.
Smiles,
Lyn

In the truck they should have been somewhat insulated. Did you recut the stems?
Try, under water, recutting the stems and see if they don't rebound.
I'm sorry things didn't go better for him. Good luck

Fill the sink up with hot water to the touch and emerse the flowers plus stems totally. Cut the stems shorter under the water and place in a vase with 2 drops of bleach and half a teaspoon of sugar. If there is any hope this may revive them.

I had some good results with this problem, although it doesn't last forever.
I had long stem roses, so I had to look for a very high container. I filled the container to the brim and left the roses "floating" on the surface overnight. The next morning they were as good as gold again, but unfortunately it did not last very long. Only about 2 days!
