Hay Fever? |
While flower pollens don't disperse in the wind as easily as other pollens, they can cause problems in an enclosed environment. If you must give flowers, choose those with a few prominent stamens, such as lilies. (Stamens are the flower's male reproductive organs that produce pollen.) Then, before offering the flower, perform surgery by carefully removing the stamens. If such "castration" is too much for you, try giving a card instead. Orchids are another good choice. They don't readily release pollens and are generally well tolerated. They are the symbol for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. |
