Tell us about what you know/experiences here.

--- Not that something bad will always happen to a bud that opens after it has been in a fridge, but what might be some possible scenarios?
----- Might they not be as big?
----- Might the petals tend to stick together?
----- Might they open somewhat abnormally somehow?
----- Changes in stamen or pistil development?
----- etc.?

--- Do the flower spikes or flowers themselves do any growing while in the fridge?

--- What temp is your fridge at?

--- Any other morsels if advice?
