I've tried it with equal >success several times. +More Dear Steve, This story is pretty amazing First for someone to bring a bouquet of Dracunculus to an office - WOW ! And then just "washing out " the smell. If simply washing down the flowers to eliminate the smell is so common why is it so hard to find in the literature or on the web? I have never heard of this method before, but it must be common knowledge in 'some circles'. Couldn't find any thing on the web in this regard, Thanks for your experiences, too.
