Medicinal uses of the rose: Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin.
Violets in French history:When Napoleon died he was wearing a locket around his neck which contained violets which had been growing at Josephine's grave site. Finding a florist in your area: Relying on word of mouth is often the best way to find a florist. Keep an eye on the flowers at weddings and parties you attend, or the flowers in arrangements delivered to your friends and co-workers. If you like the flowers and design style, inquire as to which florist they came from.
