As a part of our rich heritage culture flowers have been so
engrossed with us that it almost impossible for one to distinguish mankind and
flowers altogether.
Ancient culture, starting with Egyptians, was the earlier
one to give response to this wonderful soul of nature. It all started from
sowing, collecting and display flowers in their day to day life. Sooner other
cultures like Romans, Greek, Chinese, Byzantine and European also started
admiring flowers in their culture.
