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 goddesses:The Roman goddess of flowers, gardens, and the season of Spring is Flora. The Greek goddess of spring, flowers and nature is Chloris. Cut the stems: If you receive flowers in a box or tissue, remove all of the foliage that falls below the water line, then cut the stems with a sharp knife in a sink full of warm water. Be sure to cut the stems under the water and place them immediately into a vase of warm water mixed with the floral food provided by your florist.
