Botanical description: In botany, a flower is regarded as a modified stem with shortened internodes and bearing, at its nodes, structures that may be highly modified leaves. In essence, a flower structure forms on a modified shoot or axis with an apical meristem that does not grow continuously (growth is determinate).
Hair coloring with flowers:Ancient Assyrians had a technique for turning gray hair dark again by mixing crushed daisies with oil and applying it to the hair. Sun protection: North African natives chewed the root of the plant from which the Queen Anne's Lace flower comes from to protect themselves from the sun because it stimulates pigment production in human beings.
