Flower attire at weddings: A crown of lilies and wheat is worn by brides in Greece to symbolize purity and abundance.
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). The oldest roses: Colorado fossils of the rose which were alive 40 million years ago are the oldest evidence of roses.
