Viagra A Day?

Gardener says Viagra perks up plants

A TV gardener has shared his tip for keeping flowers perky - feeding them a tiny dose of Viagra.
David Domoney says one milligram of the blue pill gives drooping blooms a lift and extends their life.
"Drop in a standard Viagra tablet... it stiffens up your blooms a treat," he advised on his website.
The flowers need just one milligram of a standard 50 milligram tablet to regain their vigor, the gardener said.
Viagra contains nitric oxide, a hormone released by humans that enables blood vessels to relax and increases blood flow to the penis. Plants also give off nitric oxide to turn on their immune system.
Australian scientists first discovered Viagra's potential in the plant industry and their research was published in the British Medical Journal.
