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.
Symbolic meanings:Many flowers have important symbolic meanings in Western culture. The practice of assigning meanings to flowers is known as floriography. Correct attire for visiting the city: There was a song in the 70's advising people to wear flowers in their hair when going to San Francisco.
