When most people are told about this fact they don’t believe it

Eyebrows were raised recently at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show when the celebrity gardener Mr. David Domoney gave some advice about how to look after plants.  He spoke about how by using the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra it is possible to make wilting blooms look better and stay erect for a longer time than normal. Many people thought he was joking and in fact making a pretty poor and crude joke but the truth is that Viagra really does work on plants in the same way that it works on the male sexual apparatus.

Different research projects done in both Israel and at the University of Bristol have shown clear evidence that by adding crushed Viagra tablets to the water of cut flowers it enables them to stay fresher and beautiful for longer. The Viagra enables the water to be absorbed better into the plants in the same way that that it enables blood to flow into the penis. When most people are told about this fact they don’t believe it and they think that whoever is telling them is just trying to pull their leg but it really is true.

Mr Domoney spoke about how professional gardeners and flower arrangers could use the Viagra tablets to keep their gardening displays in top condition for a longer time.  He did comment however that this could be an expensive way of keeping the plants fresh and possibly the Viagra should be put to better use! Mr Domoney said that he believed that gardening should be “fun and sexy”. At Ukmedix News we think that gardening could be fun, but sexy?? We’re not really sure what Mr. Domoney is all about here.

The research on the cut flowers was done with Viagra and at Ukmedix News we are not aware if it has also been done with the other erectile dysfunction drugs Cialis and Levitra.  A research project which examined the effectiveness of Cialis in keeping flowers fresh would be especially interesting because Cialis is supposed to last for considerably longer than Viagra and Levitra and therefore maybe it would keep the plants ‘erect’ for longer too?
