Thank You for your correspondence. I enjoy getting other views to compare to my own. I am leaning to getting the "old refrigerator" and at least trying it. My expensive plants are indoors, the "Bloomerang" 3- gallon size- cost me $82. I live in a Senior apartment complex of just over 400 apts. We do have a garden for Seniors, some of the better plants just-up and disappear, ergo, the need to grow a few of the better ones indoors. I have not left Florida in the 24 yrs that I have been here and don't contemplate going north. If I get the refrigerator I can handle the Lilacs for a few yrs. anyway and the the "bearded German Iris's that I want to collect. Interestingly, the cost of electricity per month for a refrigerator might be as low as $5 or $6 dollars a month. Thank You
for your input especially your opinion that the storage of the lilacs in a refrigerator was "plausible.
