A Flowering Plant's Value To Our Environment



Flowering plants are always the best. It is said that these plants developed before us, humans, and that their diversity as well as abundance has played an important role in our survival, culture and history. The main benefit of flowering plants is in the their food value. Most of the plants that blooms a beautiful flower usually produces fruit. Besides providing fruit, there are many types of flowers that can also be eaten or are edible. Popular examples of which are, rose and pansy. And because there are many flowering plants that are edible, our folks have also developed or created medicinal remedies, which, we still use up to today and believe to help alleviate pain and sometimes even totally heal a sick person.


Another value of a flowering plant is the fact that they are used widely for decorations. The presence of flowers elevates events like birthdays, weddings, funerals and many other special occasion. Their advantage as ornamentation at home and many commercial spaces also helps a place to be more attractive. Out of the many flowering plants, a gardenia plant is one of my favorite on the list. They are best known for their fragrant white flowers and are commonly known as cape jasmine. Gardenias are light-loving evergreen shrubs. Most gardeners I knew, would easily give up on gardenias because of their finicky nature. But for me, the more effort you give in caring for a plant, the more it is rewarding to see the blooms of these flowers. I love to place these potted plants or gardenias in basket indoors because of the fragrance that their flowers emit. Gardenias in basket are also very attractive to look at in patios or even in any table tops.


These gardenias are tricky plants that requires consistent maintenance and also very particular in their growing conditions, so you must really understand what they need in order to survive.
