Botanical description: In botany, a flower is regarded as a modified stem with shortened internodes and bearing, at its nodes, structures that may be highly modified leaves. In essence, a flower structure forms on a modified shoot or axis with an apical meristem that does not grow continuously (growth is determinate).
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. Next-generation rose appearance: New roses rarely bare a close resemblance to the mother plant.
