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. Scorpion repellent: It was thought by some Ancients that they could drive away scorpions by using a strong external concoction made of Delphinium flowers.
