I've checked out many sites with this project and they all say to use 
carnations or celery.  I'm thinking of doing an expiriment to see if 
different species of flowers absorb water at different speeds. I bought 
daisies, roses, carnations, and mumms but the florist told me that roses 
wont work and I was wondering why not.
