Dear Pankaj ji: I have some very basic (you may think stupid) question... which alcohol is suitable for saving flowers for ID...?
Can l, sitting at home, not having a lab anymore, still use this method? by using 70% dilution of Vodka... to save flowers or small seeds for later dissection? How long can one preserve flowers in 70% alcohol? Thank you very much for indulging my question...
