Flowers To Your Love

Choosing real flowers or artificial flowers?

2012-01-03T14:43:00.000-08:00

What type of flowers will you choose to send to your love one? Will you choose real flowers or artificial flowers? Real flowers can only last for a short period of time. The smell and beauty can only hold on for few days. At the end the flowers will become dry and the color will fade away. Artificial flowers can last for longer time. In fact the color and beauty can last for a very long time if it is taken care of. But for artificial flowers, there is only color and beauty. The scent of flower does not exist.
Choosing real flowers to send to your love one represents realistic. True beauty existed only for a very short time. It has a specific scent. It feels fragile. And the beauty is unique.
Choosing artificial flowers to send to your love on represents eternity. The beauty within will never fade away. It remains the same for a long time. It does not change over time.
Real flowers and artificial flowers represent different meaning. You just have to choose carefully the words and meaning to represent.

Can you send flowers to your love one if she does not like flowers?

This is the kind of question which most people will think of when trying to send flowers to their love. Wait, perhaps the first question is “Does she like flowers? What kind of flowers she likes? Is roses suitable?” If you are sending flowers for the first time to your love one, just go ahead and do it. It really doesn’t matter if she likes flowers or not. The main concern here is that you take the initiative to impress her by sending flowers. You can try sending eleventh or twelve red roses as this is the most common set of flowers to express your love. If she does not like flowers, you will learn and get to know it. Usually you will be given credits for trying to make her happy. But still you might not be forgiven for not knowing she does not like flowers. All you have to do is just make it up for your mistake by buying her dinner or getting other things she likes. This gives you a chance to find out what she likes. Sometimes it does not have to be something physical like flowers, presents, chocolate, perfume and etc. You can just simple grant her a wish and just try your best to make her wish comes true.

Blue flowers are moody

2011-12-03T14:44:00.000-08:00

I like blue color but not blue flowers. Blue flowers are just too moody and non active. It's not really a good idea to send blue flowers that shows a moody deep ocean mind set to your love ones. That is why when we send flowers to our love ones, it is always red, yellow and other bright exciting colors. Blue flowers are more suitable for room decoration. Thanksgiving day is over. Next we will be celebrating Christmas and New year day. I wonder what kind of flowers are suitable in the coming holiday season.

Pink flowers from the wild

2011-11-30T05:26:00.000-08:00

Pink flowers usually not my kind of flower as a gift. Usually red color flowers are preferable. But I do like to see a garden of pink flowers. Instead of getting a bunch of pink flowers to a lady, it is also consider a good idea to bring the lady to a garden of pink flowers. Besides, the garden of flowers can live on for a long time. The scene can stay on much longer compare to a bunch of flowers. Even if the flowers are put in a vase with water, it can only stay alive for few days only.

Mixing Flowers and Foliage By Thomas Fyrd

2009-10-29T19:51:00.000-07:00

When putting together a flower design you want to display them to the their best advantage. Face it, flowers look best when they are combined with green foliage, get real that is the way they grow.

What do you do when a florist's dozen arrive unexpectedly - try one of the following combinations: juniper with carnations; pieris (Pieris japonica) with roses; leucothoe or hybrid rhododendron with gladiolus. Any of these will look well with chrysanthemums. Since they are notable for their keeping qualities, it makes good sense to try them together, for such an arrangement should last several weeks. Not to be overlooked are ivy, pachysandra and large violet leaves. These all provide dark green color masses.

All of the hostas combine well with lilies. Perhaps this seems like too much stress on the addition of foliage, but it results in better contrast of color, texture and form. It can also be the starting point of a design pattern without which no arrangement will stand scrutiny, for the very word arrangement presupposes the word design.

There is little more to say about working with florists' flowers that does not also pertain to garden flowers like the false aralia plant, especially with regard to arranging them. In both instances we deal with the same problems of suiting the arrangement to its surroundings, color wise and style wise. Scale and proportion of flowers to vase and the inter-relationship of flower sizes themselves must be carefully considered.

When we buy flowers like false aralia plant we usually have a definite purpose in mind for them and select those which will complement a color scheme, provide exciting beauty or give the best effect for the least money. Six stems of chrysanthemums or four gladiolus stalks combined with foliage and presented dramatically will prove to be economical and pleasing to the eye. Three coral pink anthuriums, possibly in combination with a few ti leaves, will present an exotic appearance and keep longer than any other combination. For sheer beauty of form and color, lilies are my choice. Most of them are wonderfully fragrant and all have reasonably good keeping quality.

Roses, of course, are perennial favorites. A point to remember, however, is that they never do well in low containers since they prefer at least one-third of their stems in water. Usually, they arrive from the florist in a uniform stage of development. I sometimes keep half of them in a cool, dark place overnight, leaving the others under a light in a warmer spot. This coaxes some into opening and provides a variety of shapes for arranging.

Today's carnations are grown in a great variety of color. They can hardly be called seasonal flowers for they are in the market at least 10 months of the year. Consequently, they remain in the medium price range, except for the red ones of Christmas. It is always with the greatest regret that I instinctively smell them and all too frequently find no scent!

Who said there is no more to learn on the subject of false aralia plant. It's time for a better insight on plant-care.com.

P/S: Flower design can be fun and interesting. all we need is some creativity and time to try it out. We might not be a flower designer or decorator but we sure can create something nice too.

The Magic of Flowers - by: Karen Escaland

2006-12-25T06:01:00.000-08:00

Flowers are natural gifts that beautify our environment.
Whether used in an arrangement to grace the kitchen
table or placed in a vase by the bedside, flowers
provide a sense of invitation and welcome to guests and
offer the sweet fragrances of springtime in the process.
The gift of flowers can brighten anyone's day and bring
an abundance of happiness to those who receive them.

Flowers are Magic

The gift of a single flower is often a reflection of a
romantic intention or some other form of feelings that are
being expressed to another. Such an offering can bring
magic to the moment, if received by a special someone.
More than simply offering a pleasant experience to the
senses, flowers can bring an acute sense of pleasure to
the heart of the recipient.

According to previous studies, a floral aroma can have
an impact on human emotions, in contrast to unpleasant
odors, which can cause irritability and a sense of
discontent. The very color of a flower may have a
profound effect on an individual.

Flowers and Their Meanings

Contrary to what you may have been told, there are no
specific meanings that are associated with flower types
or colors. When giving the gift of flowers, people tend to
personalize the experience by offering the types and/or
colors that carry a significant meaning to the person or
occasion. Due to the widespread belief, however, that
certain meanings are attached to particular flower types,
the Society of American Florists has composed a list of
flower/meaning associations, in accordance with their
histories.

Meanings according to type: Anemone - Fragility; Apple
Blossom - Promise; Baby's Breath - Festivity; Begonia -
Deep Thoughts; Camellia - Graciousness; Daisy -
Innocence; Forget-Me-Not - Eternal Remembrance;
Holly - Domestic Happiness; Lilac - First Love; Orchid
- Delicate Beauty;

Meanings according to color: Pink Rose - Friendship;
Red Rose - Passion; Red & White Rose - Love and
Unity; Yellow Rose - Zeal; Purple Tulip - Royalty;

Cut Flowers. As a result of the mounting global market
and technological advances, an abundance of flower
varieties are available throughout the year. Some of the
most beautiful and diverse arrangements contain a
mixture of fresh cut and other types of flowers or plants.
Contained within this section are some of the more
common varieties that are available through most local
florists.

One of the more classic flowers - the rose - is available
in a variety of genres, including the tea rose, the
sweetheart rose and the spray rose. The nearly 120
arrays of roses that retailers commonly carry contain all
shades of the spectrum, such as those of the red, pink,
purple, orange, coral, peach and white families. The
style of growth, as well as color, may differ from type to
type. For example, tea roses will open from three to
four inches, with stems spanning 12 to 30 inches in
length; whereas the stems of spray roses may contain
several flowers each.

The variety and type of rose will determine its life span,
but most will typically live between four and seven days
after cutting. Due to their delicate nature, stems should
be placed in the vase very gingerly. In order to reduce
the build-up of bacteria, any foliage that is apparent
immediately above the water line should be removed.
For maximum life expectancy, stems should be re-cut
every two to three days.

Lilies may also be referred to by variety, such as in the
case of the Asiatic Lily or Oriental Lily. These flower
types can be recognized by their trumpet-shaped petals
and can reach six inches in diameter. The height of their
stems can reach up to three feet and may sport four to
eight blossoms. Their color varieties include white,
yellow, pink, red and orange.

Due to their poisonous nature - specifically concerning
the members of the feline family - the National Animal
Poison Control Center recommends keeping all forms of
lilies out of the reach of your household pets.

Tulips - known by no specific variety names - grow as
single blossoms, containing six petals each. Variations
include those of the lily-flowering, double flowering,
fringe-petaled and ruffled parrot genres. The color array
includes white, yellow, pink, peach, orange, red,
lavender and purple, as well as a bi-color variety.

The orchid, also known as cymbidium, dendrobium,
oncidium, cattleya and phalaenopsis, are available in a
variety of shapes and sizes - the largest of these being
cymbidiums. Including all varieties, there are currently
over 17,000 species which span the globe.

Personal preference will dictate which flower, color
and/or arrangement is most suitable for that special
someone in your life, as well as which room of the house
in which to display the arrangement.

The Growing Popularity of Wildflowers

While these were once seen as mere weeds, the
misunderstood wildflower has recently gained
popularity, as a result of the botanical education that's
been offered by a variety of gardening experts.
Wildflowers serve a purpose beyond that of simple
beauty, as evidenced by the fact that small country
gardens containing these types of flowers are known to
attract birds and caterpillars. Growing such a garden is
beneficial, both to the senses and to the area wildlife.

Among the more popular wild flowers are honeysuckle,
foxglove, red campion, lesser celandine, herb Robert
and forget-me-not. Certain areas of the world have
developed such an appreciation for wildflowers that the
uprooting of them is illegal. Many people agree with this,
since they tend to think of it in terms of preventing the
removal of the landscape's natural beauty.

Red poinsettia always blooms

2006-12-15T19:21:00.000-08:00

By Kathy Antoniotti
Akron Beacon Journal

During the Christmas holidays, we love to share legends that have survived for centuries in Christian cultures. One of the most poignant is this story of the red poinsettia, a green shrub that grows wild in Mexico. A sorrowful little girl named Pepita cried as she slowly made her way to town on Christmas Eve with her cousin Pedro. She was sad because she had no gift to lay before the Baby Jesus at the Nativity scene by the church. Pedro encouraged her by saying "even the most humble gift, if given in love, will be acceptable in his eyes. Taking his advice to heart, Pepita knelt on the ground and fashioned a bouquet from weeds growing along the side of the road. She continued to make her way to the chapel although she was still unhappy with her meager offering. Just as she was about to lay the weeds at the Christ Child's feet, the humble bouquet was transformed into a bright red poinsettia. The legend says that those who witnessed the event were sure a Christmas miracle had occurred. Many people think the large, colored leaves of the poinsettia are flowers, but they are really bracts or modified leaves surrounding the plant's tiny yellow flowers at the center. Also, poinsettias are not poisonous as you might have heard, but the sap from the stems can irritate skin and eyes.

Let's find out how we can decorate flowers and use them with many things to let originality show and be admired by people.

The one thing we often miss while using flower decorations on Christmas is the Christmas tree itself. This is because there are so many other decorations for the tree that we don't want to overdo it using flowers as well. This Christmas, why not try another idea to use flowers as decoration, instead of other things? You can use small red and green buds to make it beautiful and more presentable.
You can also make a huge wonderful bouquet for the dining table. Add candles around it or even inside it to give a stunning look. Small flowers can also be used to make outside decorations on a candle, even dried flowers look so beautiful and soothing to the eyes. You just have to dry some flowers, glue them on a transparent sheet and then wrap the sheet around candles. Flowers can also make wonderful Christmas gifts. Another idea is to use flower decorations on the place around the tree and a few paces in front of it.

A whole range of flowers can be found in a flower shop. But you can also search on the Web and find flowers of your choice and color and have them delivered to your place. Looking at Christmas flower decorations on these websites will give you many ideas you can combine to create new things with all kinds of flowers, either red or green. Let's show everyone this Christmas just how artistic you are!

Flower of the Holy Night

In Mexico, they are called by many names: "flor de fuego" (fire flower), "flor de Navidad" (Christmas Flower), and "flor de la Nochebuena" (Flower of the Holy Night). Over the years, these lovely plants have become as much a symbol of Christmas as the Christmas tree and mistletoe. Their beautiful and expansive red, white, or pink flowers appear everywhere during the holiday season. In the United States, they are known as poinsettias. The story of how the poinsettia came to represent the spirit of Christmas is one of the most celebrated and popular folk tales in Mexico. Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lucinda who lived with her family in the village of Cuernavaca. Lucinda's papa was a farmer. Lucinda often helped her mama to cook meals and clean the house, and also to take care of her younger brother Paco and her younger sister Lupe. One day, a short time before Christmas, the village priest came to speak to Lucinda's mother, who was a talented weaver. The priest asked if she could make a new blanket to cover the figure of the Christ Child in the Christmas procession. The old one, he explained, was worn out. "Father," answer Lucinda's mother, "I would be honored to weave a new blanket for the Christmas procession, and Lucinda will help me." Soon Lucinda and her mother set to work, using the finest yarn they could buy. In the meantime, everyone in the village was busy making their own gifts to present to Baby Jesus on Christmas Eve. Lucinda went to church with the other children to practice the songs they would sing during the procession. "Our gift will be the blanket for the Baby Jesus," she told her friends. "I am helping my mother to make it." Just a few days before Christmas, while Lucinda was at singing practice, Senora Gomez, a woman from the village, came hurrying into the church. "Lucinda," she said, nearly out of breath, "Lucinda, you must go home right away. Your mama is sick and your papa has taken her to see the doctor. You must look after Paco and Lupe until your father returns." When Lucinda got home, Paco and Lupe were crying. They were frightened, and so was she. When Lucinda's father arrived at home he looked tired and worried. He told Lucinda that her mother was very sick and could not come home, and that he would have to return in the morning to stay with her until she is well again. Senora Gomez would take care of her and her brother and sister until while he was away. Lucinda knew how disappointed all the people in the village would be if they had to use the old blanket in the Christmas procession, so she tried to finish the new blanket by herself. But she got the yarn so tangled that even Senora Gomez could not fix it. Lucinda was heartbroken. She had ruined the blanket and believed that ruined Christmas. Now her family alone of all the families in the village would have no gift to present to the Christ child. Lucinda started to cry. On Christmas Eve Lucinda hid so that she would not have to walk in the procession or go to church. Standing alone in the darkness, she watched from afar as everyone hurried into the church, bearing the gifts they had brought for the Christ Child. Lucinda felt ashamed. While Lucinda lingered in the shadows, a mysterious old woman approached her. When the old woman asked Lucinda why she was not walking in the procession, the little girl explained that she could not, for she had no gift to give to the Baby Jesus. "Ah, but you do," the old woman replied. "Any gift is beautiful because it is given. Whatever you bring to the Baby, He will love, because it came from you." Yet, Lucinda still wondered what she had to offer. Looking around, she spotted a patch of tall, spindly weeds. Lucinda ran over and picked a big armful. "Do you think these will be all right?," she asked, but the old woman did not answer. She had disappeared. Lucinda took the weeds and walked into the church. The church was ablaze with candlelight and the children were singing the songs they had practiced. Lucinda walked down the aisle, clutching the weeds in her arms. Throughout the church, people began to murmur to each other when they noticed Lucinda.. Some laughed at the sight of the little girl bringing weeds into church. But Lucinda hastened on toward the manger where the priest had placed the figure of Baby Jesus. When she reached it, she knelt and carefully placed the green weeds around the stable. Then she began to pray. The whole congregation fell silent until a voice suddenly "Look! Look at the weeds!" Lucinda herself couldn't believe her eyes. The green, spindly weeds that moments before she had carried in her arms were now tipped with red flowers, more brilliant than the light of one hundred candles. As the people left the church, all the green weeds as far as the eye could see were bursting with the same beautiful red flowers. Everyone agreed that Lucinda's was the most wonderful gift of all! The tale of Lucinda and the miracle of the poinsettia is a touching Christmas legend. If not for an inquisitive American botanist, however, the people of the United States might well have missed out on the beauty of the poinsettia altogether. Dr. Joel Poinsett, who was the American ambassador to Mexico between 1825 and 1830, was struck by the unusual plants he found growing wild in the jungles and along the roadways. Captivated by their loveliness, Dr. Poinsett took several cuttings with him when he returned to his home in South Carolina. Through his efforts, the poinsettia has gained popularity around the world and has long been essential to the American Christmas tradition. We call these plants "poinsettia" to commemorate and honor Dr. Poinsett, who cherished them, cultivated them, and shared them with the world.

Trimming the tree with fresh flowers - Christmas tree

2006-12-13T02:58:00.001-08:00

Fresh flowers and greens make a joyful medley of natural ornaments. Their beauty is fleeting, though, making them best for special occasions. Some plants, like gerberas, can last a week in water; others, like camellias, last only three days. You can replace faded blooms with fresh ones. In mild climates, choose winter-blooming flowers from your garden camellias, jade plant blossoms, even lingering hibiscus. In colder climates, garden greens such as ivy and holly can complement fresh flowers from a florist or nursery; gerberas, rubrum or tiger lilies, and roses are good choices. Water vials (plastic or glass) are sold at florists and craft supply stores in 1 1/2 to 3inch sizes. Larger ones hold more water and, because they're longer, stay in place more easily atop tree branches: 3-inch vials cost about 50 cents each. To decorate the tree, position lights first. If you plan to use long strands of ivy, slip the cut ends in water vials, tuck each vial into foliage so it doesn't show, then weave the strands through branches. If necessary use florist's tape to attach the vials to the branches. Finally, embellish tree with flowers. Check vials daily, and refill if necessary.
