Flowers Are Great Decoration At Home


Most women in this world that we are living in would definitely like to receive a flower once in a while coming from the person they love. Flowers represent particularly love and adoration for a person, that is why women likes them especially paired with chocolates. Roses is always the number one pick for flowers too be given, but there are a lot of varieties of flowers that we can always choose like orchids, chrysanthemums, calla lilies, peony, tulips and and many more. But for me I would rather receive a potted calla lily plant than bouquets because in that way you could preserve and take good care of the plant that was given to you. Bouquets are very good flower arrangement by florist and they cost a lot but after a day or two their beauty will definitely wither and die.


Out of the many flowers, calla lily is the best plant grown indoors because it can adopt to it's environment perfectly. May it be indoors or outdoors calla lilies bring deep green foliage and creamy, rounded flowers to every corner of your home and garden as well. They are very easy to grow as long it is grown under the full sun all day and these lilies will definitely thank you. Checking the soil around the plant once weekly and making sure that it has the right amount of water will help your lilies thrive. If the lilies are grown indoors or in a container you could fill the drainage dish with rocks to help the soil absorb too much water. Calla lily in pink damask container is the first plant that I received for this year, it was given to me as a gift from a family friend.


Calla lilies can be found not only in pink, but also in white which is the most popular one, also in orange, fuchsia, red, yellow and cream. These long lasting flowers are very popular in wedding bouquets where they are a symbol of purity and beauty.

Ceramic Garden Mushrooms Makes A Great Addition To Your Garden

http://www.hooksandlattice.com/garden-statues.html

Whenever I come across garden statues such as the Ceramic Garden Mushrooms and garden gnomes, I am always reminded of the animated films Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Gnomeo and Juliet. My nieces and nephews feel the same way too. They were thrilled and ecstatic after seeing these Ceramic Garden Mushrooms and garden gnomes for the first time. They would hide behind the doors at night hoping that they could take a peek of these garden statues come alive through the peep hole. Seeing them do this also reminds us how we used to be.

Back then my siblings and I would talk to these garden statues as though they were alive. We would play next to it pretending that there were dwarfs who were either sitting or standing next to the ceramic garden mushrooms while my cousin pretends that she is Snow White. Our parents would use these garden statues to get through to us especially when we were just being kids-wild, stubborn and spoiled (but not rotten). But of course we will use a different approach if these kids become uncontrollable as they strongly resemble how we were back then.

On the other hand, the adults like these new additions in our garden as well. They were even thinking of buying a set of Ceramic Garden Mushrooms - Winter Fairy Garden Décor. But after seeing Ceramic Garden Mushrooms - Spring Fairy Garden Décor, Ceramic Garden Mushrooms - Summer Fairy Garden Décor and Ceramic Garden Mushrooms - Fall Fairy Garden Décor, they want to buy all of them for their collection especially the Summer Fairy Garden Décor. The Summer Fairy Garden Décor is also my favorite. I love the colors. Looking at it makes me happy for no reason. I guess it is because of the red, orange and yellow colors of the ceramic garden mushrooms.

A Little Knowledge About Caring For Bonsai



There are a lot of people whom I knew that takes care of a bonsai plant. One of my close friend is an enthusiast, she used to give me tips on how to maintain a bonsai plant and she even gave me books as a reference. That is also one reason why I know have a nursery for bonsai plants. I find bonsai plant as a form of art, where tree and pot form a harmonious unit with synchronized shape, texture and color. Bonsai, translated from Japanese as "tray planting" and there are different types of Bonsai that exists today. They are grown from the same seed as trees that grow to full size. They are grown in small containers and trimmed and trained so that they remained small and elegant.


Selecting a tree specie is the first step to grow a bonsai tree. You must make sure that the type of tree you grow should be reliant to the environment where you will be keeping it. Your region's climate and the your home environment should be taken into account when you are deciding which species of tree to grow. Next is deciding whether to plant the tree from the seed or also consider for a foraging for a bonsai tree. Although, planting a bonsai tree from a seed is a slow process but it is very rewarding in the end. Lastly, is the easiest way to begin the art of bonsai, but is also the most expensive. It is choosing from among the trees that have already been partially trained. Bonsai trees that have been grown from a seed and partially trained have already receive a lot of time and care, so they are usually quite pricey.

Caring for bonsai trees is something which also requires a little knowledge and experience; some trees are hardy and can survive the temperature outside, while others will need a more protected environment. Other important considerations in bonsai gardening relate to the tools that you need to do the work. It is very important that you have the right equipment. Whilst a basic set of tool is not particularly expensive the correct equipment is essential for making your new hobby a success.
