Pleasing your girl with flowers Create a fresh bouquet of blooms of different varieties in various shades of her favorite colour. This monochromatic look is a sure winner. Your other option would be to mix both colors and types, resulting in a contemporary and adventurous look to take her breath away. Always remember to include a message with the flowers. Don't be too abrupt here, say something meaningful and lasting because you can bet your life that long after the flowers have perished, she will have kept the card. These cards will surface from time to time throughout your relationship, particularly in the middle of arguments, to prove a particular point. Your local ...

Love these flowers series - Brodiaea Brodiaeas are beautiful natives of the western part of North America. Most species send up grass like foliage and slender 1- to 3-foot flower stalks bearing clusters of ½- to 1½-inch blossoms. Brodiaeas are especially handsome planted in groups of a dozen or more in flower borders, rock gardens or naturalized in grass. They are also excellent choices when having ...

One of my favourite flowers - Ammobium (everlasting, sand flower) Characteristics: Winged everlastings are wonderful additions to the summer garden. Their tiny white daisylike flowers bloom profusely from July to October if deadheaded. The flowers are about 1 inch across with glistening white petals and brilliant yellow centers. For use in dried arrangements, try Ammobium alatum 'Grandiflorum', a larger, showier form with flowers ¼ to ½ inch across on 3-foot stems. ...

In Praise of Hyacinths Hyacinths, among the most lovely and sweetest-smelling flowers of spring, have inspired poems and legends for centuries. Greek mythology records two stories of their origin: in one version the hyacinth sprang up where the blood of Ajax, a hero of the Trojan War, soaked the ground; in another version it grew from the blood of the boy Hyacinthus, accidentally killed by a discus thrown by Apollo. Wild hyacinths abounded in ancient Greece, but it was in the Middle East that the flowers were first widely cultivated. The esteem in which they were held there is evidenced by these lines attributed to the 13th Century Persian poet, Saadi: ...

Best loved flowers - Celosia cristata (cockscomb) Characteristics: Once grown by settlers for medicinal purposes, cockscomb is now a favorite flower for drying and cutting and can be found in a Deepdene flower shop. Few flowers can provide as wonderful a display of color in late summer. Cockscomb is reliable and quick to grow, and makes a terrific accent plant in the garden. The crested flowers resemble a rooster's comb, thus its common name. A mainstay of any dry flower garden, celosias provide color and texture to dried arrangements. ...
