The table flower is of Egyptian origin
In 1886 AD, the British archaeologist, Flinders Petrie, was discovered in the area of Tel Nebisha in Egypt, a 2,300-year-old Egyptian blossom dating back to the Ptolemaic era.
((The Ptolemies, a royal family of Macedonian origin, ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great in the era between 323-30 BC. They knew this name, because each king of them bore the name or title of Ptolemy, which is the name of the family's founder)),
