moisture as harvesting time is delayed due to sensitivity of the
flower tissues to ethylene, other hydrolysing enzyme and
senescence (Kofranek and Halevy, 1972). 'Ravel' took maximum
time for drying followed by 'First Red' and 'Skyline'. The flowers
of 'Lambada' took minimum time for drying due to its low moisture
content and rapid dehydration of papery structure of flowers.
Also it might have lost the moisture at a faster rate due to smaller
sized flowers. With respect to interactions, the flowers of
