FLORIST

These attractive, brightly coloured summer-flowering annuals or perennials have a remarkably long flowering period, and in districts where the autumn weather is warm, dry, and sunny, the flowering period is protracted until the advent of winter. There are about twenty species, which are all native to North America.

Among Classical writers and poets the hyacinth was always one of the most popular flowers. We find it mentioned and exalted by Virgil, Pliny, Theocritus, and Ausonius. From what we can deduce from their writings, the hyacinth of Antiquity was a violaceous-red, and it is perhaps for that reason they associate'd it with blood.

Villagers in the vicinity of thick forests, which hold good orchid population, should be encouraged to orchid farming in their land. They should be supplied with seedlings of ornamental orchids and also with other materials for construction of simple orchid houses. They should be trained with the know-how of rearing orchids. The marketing of orchid plants and/or cut flowers should be managed through their own societies through financial assistance from banks.

Orchids are never wind-pollinated. External agents such as ants, bees, wasps, butterflies and moths in search of food in the flower transfer the pollinia on to the stigmas effecting pollination. The structure of the orchid flower is tailor-made for insect-pollination.

Have you ever noticed a new born baby? It is dependent on its parents for everything it needs. When the baby is hungry, it cries to be fed. When the baby is thirsty, it cries for something to drink. The baby lets it be known if it is experiencing other discomforts as well. Since the baby's sole means of communication is crying, parents often have to guess what the baby needs.

Floral foam is a porous material designed to hold water and provide stability for stems within a floral design. Flower stems can be held at any angle when inserted into a block of floral foam. Floral foam comes in two formulations for both fresh and dry plant materials.

The scent of Chimonanthus fragrans is much more distinct than that of the retiring little and in some kinds even stronger. A small sprig will scent a room and no one disputes its high quality although there are some who consider the flowers dowdy.

A small sprig will scent a room and no one disputes its high quality although there are some who consider the flowers dowdy. To most of us there is something rather fascinating about the translucent claw-like petals, the color of straw, but given warmth by the circle of small maroon petals at the base.

Marriage is one of the most awaited events for a woman and it is nothing than a dream come true for her. She wants to look no way lesser than a princess, amazingly beautiful and worth admired from head to toe. More than anything she wants her finance to fall in love with her and feel proud of her. There are no two opinions that a bride prefers the best attire, jewelry, and other accessories, but she makes a conscious effort to choose the right kind of flower that will make her beautiful.

It has been noted that women are more fascinated towards colorful and impressive looking flowers, as compared to men. More than men, women personally love using flowers often and love to admire themselves. She looks all more beautiful when she wears flowers may be for a special occasion or in general.

There are quite a number of gardeners who put away their tools at the end of October and don't reckon to get them out again until March. I would like to take them for a walk round my garden on the first day of February.

So far I have used no ground cover here, although I suppose the arisaema would push its way through anything, but Eujsborbia robbiae makes a border on one side and an epimedium is growing on the other side.

Some people are worried by the peculiar scent of the ferny leaves of this plant, which is supposed to be abhorrent to bugs. It gives the plant its colloquial name of "bugbane" and its Latin name.

September is an easier month than August. The days may be getting a little shorter but there is a dampness and crispness in the air which pleases the plants and enriches the colors of the flowers.

Many people regard ivy as an enemy. I suppose it is in the wrong place. It can destroy walls and get under the eaves of houses, but I believe it is not as disastrous for trees as some of us have been taught. Be that as it may, one of the wayside plants I enjoy in November is the common ivy, Hedera helix.

Although the first flowers of Prunus subhirtella autumnalis may open as early as September they go on flowering till April. A cold spell and the flowers disappear, but when milder weather returns there are more soft pink flowers against the blue of a winter sky. A standard with wide-spreading branches can be very dramatic, but the outline of a bush with flowers on the bare branches from the ground upwards is more intimate.

June is the month that takes care of itself. Even the dullest garden can't help being colourful in June. When the cow parsley reaches shoulder level in the hedgerows and the roadside is scented with honeysuckle and wild roses the garden too seems to grow up overnight. This is the time when one discovers if one has planted too closely, and I always have, and if one has staked sufficiently and efficiently, and I never have.

In spite of the north-east winds and constant frosts of late March scillas and chionodoxas are opening every day, some in the places where I want them to be and where I planted them and a good many in spots they have chosen for themselves. The first of all is the pale blue, very dwarf Scilla tubergeniana. The chionodoxas, with their white eyes, flower next, then the ordinary scillas.

The cottage chrysanthemums are even later in their blooming. Sometimes they leave it so late that they have to compete with wind, rain and sodden leaves. A pleasant single pink called Innocence is usually out by the end of September. It isn't as tall as some of the other cottage types, the yellows and bronzes, and that interesting old gentleman, the Emperor of China I have given up growing some of these in the orthodox way as it seems impossible to make them grow straight, even with the most careful staking.

Flowers, without a doubt, are amongst the most beautiful things that God created. They have for ages played an important role in our lives. They were considered the best offering for God and were an integral part of religious ceremonies. The healing power of some of the flowers found their way into stories of miracles and sometimes even myths were associated with certain flowers.
