Flowers for special occasions: Tell your florist if the gift is for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary or other personal milestone). He or she can offer suggestions on how to best celebrate with flowers.
Medicinal uses of the rose:Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin. Superstition and the Aster: The most popular of the 600 different species of the Aster is the Monte Carlo.
