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. Fertilizers necessary for roses: To ensure healthy woody growth, shiny leaves, and beautiful flowers the roses are very much dependent on either organic or chemical fertilizers.
