Hi. my outdoor project took a beating in a storm, and by the time the sun came out there was grey mold on lots of the flowers. I've been reading up on salvaging options (some are obvious throwaway, but some it's hard to tell) and I came across a little thing about "water curing". Out of desperation I stuck a few stalks in some distilled water with a fish tank bubbler and the next day there was a pile of ugly grey foam floating on top - is this mold? If so, is this a good way to treat some of the stuff that has a little bit of mold?

I would love to know more about water curing, but so far my search hasn't shown much. I'm trying to make some quick decisions, here. Thanks
