Rose literature with the ancient Chinese: Many books about roses were possessed by the Imperial Chinese library, according to Confucius, who died in 479 BC.
Origin of name:The name orchid comes from a Greek word meaning testicle. 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.
