STRONGS G262:
ἀμαράντινος, -ον, (from ἀμάραντος, as ῥόδινος made of roses, from ῤόδον, a rose; cf. ἀκάνθινος), composed of amaranth (a flower, so called because it never withers or fades, and when plucked off revives if moistened with water; hence, it is a symbol of perpetuity and immortality [see Paradise Lost iii., 353ff]; Pliny, h. n. 21 (15), 23 [others 47]): στέφανος, 1 Peter 5:4. (Found besides only in Philostratus her. 19, p. 741; [and (conjecturally) in Boeckh, Corp. Inscriptions 155, 39, circa B. C. 340].)
