Elasticity Questions?

1. Suppose you're shopping for flowers and you encounter various firms at the market. Explain whether you would expect the elasticity of supply to be highly elastic or inelastic for fresh cut flowers and why?

2. Explain why the demand for frozen fish sticks may be more price elastic in the short run than in the long run.

-----

I'm still working on one and am having some trouble figuring it out (my brain is completely fried right now running on no sleep).

For number 2, is it because in the latter case you have a longer time horizon which means you can find substitutes to replace the frozen fishticks?
