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.

Superstition and the Aster:The most popular of the 600 different species of the Aster is the Monte Carlo. People long ago thought they could drive away serpents with the odor it produced when they burned it.

Clear water in the vase: If the water in the vase turns yellow and cloudy it is a natural sign that bacteria are growing in the water. Bacteria can clog stems and shorten the vase life of flowers, so keep the water clear at all times to ensure the longevity of your blooms. If your water starts to turn cloudy, immediately empty the vase and add fresh water, preferably mixed with the floral food provided by your florist. Re-cut the stems with a sharp knife under warm water before placing them in the vase of fresh water.
