Flowers stop craziness: Around the time of Henry VIII it was believed that 15 days of drinking a mixture of crushed daisies steeped in wine could cure insanity.
Flower looks like animal:Because the Strelitzia flower looks much like the head and beak of an exotic bird they are nicknamed The Bird of Paradise. Named for fighters: Gladiolus flowers got their name because the leaves of the plant were shaped like a sword and made them think of the Roman gladiators.
