Flowers for food: Sunflower buds taste similar to artichokes but taste bittersweet after the flower opens.
Medicinal uses of the rose:Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin. More flower care: If you receive flowers in a vase, check to be sure the water is always clear. If the water turns cloudy, empty it and add fresh water mixed with the floral food provided by your florist. If possible, re-cut the stems with a sharp knife before placing them in the fresh water.
