Does anybody take any notice of the flowers and plants around them? I love flowers. I can’t imagine life without them, but I am sure most people don’t even notice them.

USES

Flowers have always been used to fragrance your home, in candles, incense, oils, air fresheners etc.

Many Shampoos, perfumes, soaps etc. have the wonderful aroma of flowers.

Many plants, flowers and herbs are also used for medicinal purposes.

WELL KNOWN FLOWERS

Roses

Roses are the best known flowers and are the symbol of love/romance. Flowers are given to loved ones on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Birthdays and for just about any occasion you can think of.

In British history there was even a War of the Roses. The Red rose is the symbol of England. (And very beautiful it is too!)

Poppies

Poppies are wild flowers that grow in the hedgerows of the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world. They come in various colours, but in my opinion they are most beautiful in red.

They are a symbol of death and used, in the UK, to commemorate the dead servicemen/women who gave their lives in two World Wars.

Daffodils

I am English, so to me daffodils mean Spring. I have travelled around the world, and have never seen daffodils like the ones I have seen in the UK. I no longer live in the UK, and I never see daffodils, which saddens me. I think they are SO beautiful. Daffodils bloom in early spring and bring such a splash of colour.

William Wordsworth wrote a beautiful poem about daffodils entitled “I wander lonely as a cloud”. If you have never read this poem, please do so, as it encapsulates the beauty of the humble daffodil.

FLOWERS AS DECORATION

Many antiques have flowers adorning them. For example tea services, ceramic vases, pottery, cutlery etc.

In fact when you look at some of the famous paintings that have ever been sold many were of flowers, for example Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and Irises which sold for record prices in recent years.

Another common use for flowers is on wallpaper and tiles which adorn many a household. In fact, there are too many uses to mention here.

Many public buildings including churches are decorated inside with flowers. As mentioned in the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, churches have Rose decorations throughout. I had never noticed these Roses until I read the book. Take a look for yourself, they are there!

OCCASIONS

Throughout history flowers have been used to mark various occasions. A bride carries flowers on her wedding day and the church is ablaze with colour. Many of the guests also wear flowers as corsages. It is also traditional to throw rose petals over the bride and groom after they leave the church.

Flowers have always been given as gifts at funerals to remember the life of the deceased. Lilies are the most popular and are associated with death.

When a friend or loved one is in hospital or at home ill, what do we bring as a gift? Flowers!

CHILDREN’S NAMES

Have you ever thought about flowers being used as names for children? I’ll bet you hadn’t even noticed how popular they are. For example Rose, Poppy, Jasmine, Lily, Violet and Daisy are a few that spring to mind.

OTHER USES

Flowers have even been used to amuse children. Do you remember when you were young and your mother showed you how to make daisy chains? Yes, flowers again!

Also as a child my mother showed me a game with buttercups (another common English flower). She loves me, she loves me not, was also a childhood game we played to find true love involving pulling petals off a flower.

Most people never notice flowers.

We would ALL notice if they were not there!

Flowers brighten our world, lift our spirits and are a vital part of our existence. Look around you, our world is beautiful!

The memoirs of cultivated roses goes back thousands of being. According to fossil support, rose plants have existed for about 35 million living old. The genus Rosa has some 150 species extent throughout the world. Wild roses are resilient and adaptable plants which grow in conditions ranging from marshy to scorched, and can tolerate acute climates of the northern hemisphere. Alberta, a zone of Canada where winter temperatures regularly catch -40 degrees, has as its provincial flower the rowdy rose, a small brutish category with unhappy pink blossoms and a delicate aroma. Domestic cultivation of roses began more than 5,000 being ago in China. Wreaths of Damask-like roses have been found in Egyptian tombs. Frescoes of the Minoan Crete ethnicity show roses. Roses were cultivated extensively in the Middle East during Roman period, their petals worn as confetti at celebrations, for remedial purposes and odor. Roman goodness reserved large communal rose gardens in the south of Rome, where they used hot houses to “push” roses into flush at beloved period, and they also imported roses from Egypt. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the cultivation of roses allotment throughout Europe. European roses are classified as Albas, Centifolias, Damasks, Damask Perpetuals, Gallicas, and Mosses. Mainstream Oriental roses are Chinas and Tea Roses. The European varieties, with the exemption of the Damask Perpetuals, have one time of tint per year, while the Orientals tint more or minus continually. England is the country most associated with rose cultivation. The damp, mild climate united with the perenially unclear toughen produces the best redden in roses, which cultivate to have “bleached”flag in intense sunlight. Beautiful English women are often described as English roses. Roses highlight extensively in British historical imagery, and many family coats of arms quality roses. In heraldry, the rose is the character of the seventh son, expect and joy. A red rose symbolizes elegance nd beauty, an ashen rose, desire and assurance. In the Middle Ages, roses retained their use in both civic and dutiful festivals, and were also kept in medicinal gardens. Their use in herbology as well as an exact for their fragance led to a bungalow activity of rose-essence distillation, which still has economic importance in some areas of Europe such as Bulgaria. The fifteenth century “War of the Roses” was so named because the York and Lancaster factions were symbolized by colorless and red roses respectively. During the sixteenth century, roses and rose water were valued so very that they were used as swap for goods. With the rise of mercantilism during the Renaissance, horticultural trade flourished. Due to their fleet of trading ships, the Dutch were leaders in the trade of tulips, hyacinths, carnations and of course roses. The eighteenth century also saw a great spread in rose cultivation: the widespread growing of roses from seed fairly than just the propagation of cuttings. The varieties of roses presented fast lingering from just a few dozen to one or two hundred. Also, an entire new group, the Centifolias, was shaped by Dutch lodge breeders. In the 1800′s, Napoleon’s companion Josephine kept a large rose plot at Chateau de Malmaison, an estate seven miles west of Paris. The botanical illustrator Pierre Joseph Redoute used this patch as the backdrop for his infamous 1824 watercolor botanical painting collection “Les Roses.” Josephine also provided imperial support to some French rose breeders, notably Dupont and Descemet, who urbanized hundreds of new cultivars out of the European rose groups. The large, spectacular roses seen at flower shows nowadays are derived from cultivars introduced from China to Europe in the eighteenth century. These plants were continual bloomers, making them unsual and of great amount to workshop hybridizers. These roses were interbred with unfilled European roses to produce plants with both hardihood and long peak term. In the 1830′s, horticulturists experimented intensely with interbreeding Oriental and European roses. Due to the truth that the attribute of recur-promising is recessive, the first generation of offspring between separate-tint and recur-tinge roses are all solo-flowering. However, as these are crossed with one another and back to the primary Orientals and Europeans, replicate-blooming hybrids emerge. By the 1840′s many new varieties had been formed, called “Hybrid Perpetuals” for their perpetual blooming. These cultivars came in all ensign and forms, were all at least somewhat reblooming, and enduring enough to withstand the northern European climate. Interest in the original varieties of roses waned, excepting as a sentimental profit to heirloom rose fanciers. The loud new artificial hybrids are now seized up as the flower-show benchmark of what a rose should look like.

The rose is, by general consent, the queen of flowers. This is acknowledged even by those who specialize in such flowers as dahlias, chrysanthemums, sweet peas, carnations and many others. Why this should be is not easy to explain because, after all, most flowers seen through the eyes of those who grow them have an equal claim to be the most beautiful, and yet who would deny the pre-eminence of the rose?
It can be truthfully said that the rose is the only plant with which a complete garden can be made. One could fill a garden with any other kind of plant and thereby obtain a fine display of blooms, but such a garden would be dull and uninteresting except to the person interested in that particular flower. This would not be the case for a garden of roses.
The rose has not always held this unique place in our esteem, for it is the result of long, patient work by the hybridists who in the last fifty years or so have given us such diverse types, and have lengthened the period of flowering to an extent exceeded by no other flower.
The uses of the rose
The uses to which our modern roses can be put are many. There are the Ramblers of the Dorothy Perkins type, with their long pliable growth which can be trained to almost any position. When budded on to a tall stem to form a weeping standard they do not object to having their growth suspended upside down.
The Hybrid Teas are, of course, by far the largest class and still remain the most popular, and rightly so, for it is from these that the finest blooms are obtained. One can have these as dwarf plants for planting in beds or borders, or as standards, which are very useful for breaking up the levels, or as specimen plants.
In the last few years the Floribunda roses have forged ahead in popularity, which is very understandable considering the ease with which they are grown, their hardiness and very free-blooming qualities. This class is destined to become much larger in the next few years, and even now there are some new varieties embracing colours never yet seen before in the rose.
For the shrub border and wild garden there are the rose species, giving a glorious show of bloom in the early summer, to be followed in the autumn by a brilliant display of hops.
The rose is one of the few flowers that is beautiful in all its stages of development. Most other flowers are seen at their best only in their fully developed state. The rose, however, is beautiful from the time the sepals divide until the petals fall, each stage different and each charming.
In the range of color, the rose can more than hold its own, embracing as it does almost every shade except blue. Even that need not be excepted if one’s imagination can stretch so far as to describe Veilchenblau, the so-called Blue Rose, as blue.
Scent in modern roses
Nor is the rose lacking in perfume, in spite of the number of uninformed persons who write to the press deploring its absence. Although it is true that many modern roses are almost scentless, it is by no means a condition peculiar to the present time, for some of the most popular roses of the last century were entirely without scent.
Little appears to be known why scent should come and go in successive generations of seedlings, but I am confident that in time, scent will be present in increasing quantities. However, we are not so badly off in this respect, and it is possible to have a fully representative collection of modern roses, comprising every known type, without having a single scentless rose, although in doing so one would miss many varieties which provide masses of glorious colour.
More could be said about the wonderful world of roses, but all should agree that it deserves its title as “queen of flowers.”

The love of flowers, especially the rose, is universal, one of the simple but beautiful things of life that cannot be destroyed even by the mechanization, noise, and overcrowding of modern cities. The poorest home in a city slum will have its geranium, its hollyhock, its cactus or its wallflower, and usually its rose, struggling for existence perhaps, but bravely representing man’s undying love for plants.
Man is a gardener by instinct. However limited may be his opportunity because of restricted area, lack of leisure time, or physical disability, some use is made of the floral gifts that Nature pours out to us so generously.
Some houses and flats have no more than a commonplace shrub, a narrow strip of lawn, or just a window-box or a pot-plant a patch of color contrasting with a drab wall and unimaginative surroundings. Meager as it may be, each is somebody’s garden, and is associated with an apparently inevitable affection for trees that give us shade, lawns that ease our tread and soften the surrounding harshness, and flowers with their wonderful fragrance and beauty.
There is beauty in any garden, small and simple, or large and elaborate. There is beauty in any plant, leaf, or flower-even in those we choose to call ‘weeds’.
The rose has ever been the world’s favorite flower, the pride of the rich and poor the rich because it has no superior, the poor because, despite its superiority, its plants have never been beyond their reach. Easy to grow, lavish with its blooms, adaptable to almost any conditions, the rose is the unchallenged Queen of Flowers.
By careful plant-breeding almost all flowers have been vastly improved in the last century, but the rose has maintained it is pre-eminence to such an extent that no garden seems complete without it, and its blooms are always the most cherished of cut flowers.
There are approximately five thousand varieties of roses being grown today, surely an embarrassment of riches, but the average rosarian surveys a modern catalogue, selects varieties that meet his needs, and is content. It is not the number he grows that matters; it is the pleasure he derives from them.
The origin of the rose is quite prehistoric; geologists tell us of evidence of its existence more than thirty-five million years ago. It is mentioned in many of the earliest writings, and it has been found indigenous to almost every part of the Northern Hemisphere, even to Iceland and Lapland, but never south of the Equator.
The Earliest Roses
All the original roses were five-petalled, but double roses have existed since long before any surviving records were made. These are really freaks, in that many of their stamens have been metamorphosed into petals. The earliest roses are usually referred to as rose species. They vary in color from white to deep pink and dull red, while yellow is represented by the double Rosa hemispherica (R. sulfhured) and, probably of earlier origin, the single JR. foetida (the Yellow Austrian Briar), a very misleading name, for its original habitat was from Crimea to Thibet, far from Austria.
Its companion, R. foetida var. hicolor, is the only bicoloured species, having, in most flowers, petals that are of a deep copper colour on the inner side and vivid yellow on the reverse; in some of its flowers yellow appears in stripes, on half a petal, or even more, in place of the darker colour.
R. centifolia (the Cabbage Rose, Hundred Petalled Rose, or Provence Rose) in the gardens of Midas is described by Herodotus (about 484-425 B.C.), “The Father of History”. Hippocrates (460-361 B.C.), Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), Virgil (70-19 B.C.), Ovid (43 B.c-A.D.17), Horace (65-8 B.C.), and Juvenal (A.D. 60-140) all laud the rose. Omar Khayyam (A.D. 1050-1123) knew R. damascena (the Damask Rose) and it still grows on his grave at Nishapur.
In the House of Frescoes at Knossus, Crete, is the earliest known European depiction of a rose, painted about 1550 B.C. It had six petals instead of the usual five, probably an error.
The love of roses will never die, but will live on to produce and nurture these wonderful flowers.

As many of us know Valentine?s Day is considered as a special day for lovers. On this day lovers usually give various gifts to express their feelings. The most well known gifts for Valentine?s Day includes chocolates and flowers. While roses are thought of as being one of the Valentine flowers there are others that you can choose.

The other Valentine flowers include carnations, iris, tulips, lilies, daffodils and even daisies. The reason why some people will choose carnations to give as Valentine flowers is because of their rich, heady and spicy scent. The smell of cloves and the many dainty petals of the carnation all seem to convey the idea that these beautiful flowers are ideal to have as a symbol of love.

The Iris is also chosen as one of the many Valentine flowers. Its long stems open to show graceful and colorful flowers. You can place these flowers next to some fragrant baby?s breath flowers to frame the spectacular coloring of the iris flowers.

Of course even with these different flowers many people still prefer sending red roses as Valentine flowers. Red roses are considered to be the symbol of true love and many women love the idea of being presented with a bouquet of long stemmed (no thorns) red roses.

Red roses are not the only roses that are sent for Valentine?s Day. In fact you could send a bouquet of white, pink and red roses as a Valentine flower gift. Roses are sent not just because they are the symbol of true love but also because they have a gorgeous scent as well.

For the person who wants to give different flowers for Valentine?s Day tulips are the ideal choice. These graceful cup shaped flowers come in many beautiful shades so that even a few of these flowers mixed in with other flowers like carnations and daffodils will definite show how you feel.

Besides sending real flowers for Valentine?s Day you can select silk Valentine flowers instead. These flowers have the advantage of looking real without causing you or anyone else allergies.

As a result there are people who buy silk Valentine flowers when they want the flowers to last for a time. In addition to sending silk flowers your Valentine flowers can be in the form of scented and shaped candles.

The next time that you are looking to buy Valentine flowers you should see the many different flowers like daffodils, carnations, iris, tulips, daisies and even lilies that you can buy for that special Valentine bouquet. These flowers, candles, silk flowers and chocolates that are bought for Valentine?s Day are all reminders of what this special day means for lovers.

There?s no doubt that the appeal of roses have stood the test of time, and perhaps we can find an explanation for this through Greek mythology. The minor Greek goddess Chloris came across a dead nymph and she was so taken aback by her beauty that she turned her into a flower. Aphrodite infused the new flower with beauty, the three Graces donated brilliance, joy, and charm, Dionysius added sweet fragrance, and the West win Zephyrus blew the clouds away so Apollo could bathe the rose in sunlight. The rose was then given to Eros, the god of love, and finally the Queen of flowers was born.?? Its intricate meanings make the rose a favorite gift of lovers and romantics. However, the red rose isn?t the only kind of rose that conveys the message of passionate love. The Narangha rose is an orange rose variety that connotes instant attraction and intense emotions with its smooth, vivid petals. Naranghas have hints of yellow and pink at the base of its large, blossoming head, and its rich warm colors contrast beautifully with its glossy green leaves. Long sturdy stems growing at an average of 60 centimeters characterize these flowers.? What makes this flower extra special is that its buds blossom to a full bloom in a short amount of time. This means that everyday, one can see its beautiful bud in different blooming stages ? a special treat for someone who is given this beautiful flower. Its soft, slightly fruity perfume also makes it a favorite of women everywhere. The best thing is, the Narangha rose variety is available in many major flowers shops and rose growers.The flower?s namesake is the Philippine word for ?orange? ? very fitting for a culture that knows how to love and love passionately. Romantic love for Filipinos is serious business. As early as the courtship stage, Philippine men spoil their women by showering them with ardent poetry, love songs, and of course, flowers. All these grand, romantic gestures indicate how much they are willing to care and nurture the woman in their life. It is no wonder that the Narangha variety is the most popular orange colored flower in the Philippines.A bouquet of long stemmed orange roses with subtle hints of pink is sure to bring a strong message of fervent romance and devotion. Why not brighten up your lover?s day by surprising her with a dazzling Narangha rose?

Try giving a woman a bouquet of red roses and at the very least, you?ll see her crack a grin, even if she?s not the type to gush over the beauty of flowers. Each woman has her own unique personality and there is no universal reason as to why flowers evoke such positive reactions from them. It can be said that it is not so much the flowers themselves but the meaning and thought behind it that makes women giggle like high school teenagers. Imagine this scene in your mind: you?re in your office doing regular boring chores when out of the nowhere, a friend that you haven?t seen or heard from in a while has a bouquet of one dozen roses delivered to you. In almost all certainty, this is going to make a positive difference in your day. Everything that seemed so important five minutes ago no longer seems so, at least for a few ecstatic moments. Why? Because someone you respect took the time and the effort to let you know that he or she is thinking of you, even if you no longer spend as much time together as you used to. In one flower delivery, so much was said about your friendship and enduring love for each other even of no words where exchanged. This is a magical feeling that very few gifs can evoke. It?s the meaning of flowers that draws positive responses from people. Every single color and type of flower comes with its own traditional meaning and sentiment – symbolisms that have been developed through time. In fact, roses in particular have their own language. Traditionally speaking, a rosebud means young love or youth, whereas a mature rose symbolizes lasting love or gratitude. White roses can mean that you view the recipient as innocent-and childlike, where a pink rose shows that you are happy and content. We all know that red roses signify true love, but a red rose bud symbolizes a deeper, purer, more passionate love. Many people combine red roses with white roses to give the message of unbreakable unity. These meanings are not often talked about or memorized but for some reason, people understand them perfectly. To a lot of women, it does not really matter what each color means or what bloom stage a flower stands for. Most of the time people don?t know about the traditional meaning of flowers. Despite this, a lot of women have felt giddy with happiness whenever they receive flowers from their boyfriends, especially if comes delivered as a surprise. It doesn?t matter if one receives a red rose bud or a pink rose in full bloom. The fact that someone took the trouble to send roses as a reminder of his love and affection is enough to keep ladies smiling like a love-struck teenager for the rest of the day.

Who doesn?t like flowers? Whether it?s to celebrate a special event like a birthday or graduation, to cheer someone up, or the most common use of flowers: to declare love for that special someone. Known as a universal gift for every occasion, flowers can simply brighten up one?s day. There are various types of flowers, but one of the most common flowers that are more popular are roses.

Traditionally, roses are given by men to women to symbolize admiration and love. Did you know that the different colors of roses connote different meanings too? The different colors are ways of expressing feelings and emotions. Let?s start with the least popular colors first. Orange roses indicate enthusiasm, desire and fascination. Pink roses convey happiness and gracefulness, thus, used in birthday parties of women. Blue roses, like their color are used to describe the uniqueness of the recipient. Dark pink sends out gratitude, while light pink describes one?s joy and sweetness. Peach roses have the same meaning as pink roses too. Yellow simply means caring and symbolizes friendship, while white roses express purity, innocence, heavenly and charm.

Let?s now move on to the most popular rose color: red roses. They say if you give a bouquet of red roses to someone, it means you really love them. But what do red roses really mean? In a nutshell, red roses mean love, respect, and passion. This is probably why most roses given out on Valentine?s Day, are red. For the longest time, red roses have also been used to depict strong romantic feelings for someone. A gentleman who gives a dozen red roses to a woman, clearly has deep feelings for that woman. Seen as the classic rose color, this color is also seen in most movies or even read in classic fairytales.

Red roses, when combined with other colors, give out a different meaning altogether. When combined with white roses, they can signify courage and unity. Red and yellow rose combinations are for happy feelings, and joviality. For most honeymoon suites that use scattered petals as lovely room decorations, red is also the most prominent color. This is probably to promote excitement and romance in the bedroom. Even the leaves of the roses have significance too: hope.

A different meaning corresponds to the kind of red rose a gentleman gives out too. Cardinal red signifies desire, and firery red is for the flames of passion. A deep red rose is for admiration, or sometimes, embarrassment.Different amounts of red roses have several meanings too. A single red rose, for instance, has a simple yet powerful meaning: ?I love you.? Two roses joined together mean gratitude, and a dozen roses is the ultimate declaration of love. Twenty five red roses is sent out to congratulate someone, while fifty roses mean unconditional love.

Even if there are a lot of flowers available in flower shops, online shopping is readily available too. Some flower directories are also available online. Red roses are still the most romantic. They will always remain a classic because there?s no more passionate way to tell your significant other you love her: other than red roses.

People in the Victorian era took the language of flowers very seriously. Due to the repressive atmosphere of the times, flowers became the means by which women communicated with their suitors. The distinct scent of a particular flower or the grouping of flowers in a bouquet conveyed unique messages. Often, these botanical gifts demonstrated feelings and emotions nobody dared say out loud in public. Even the way flowers were given to someone had its own hidden message. For instance, if a man handed a woman an upright bouquet of flowers, he had something happy and positive to tell her. An upside-down bouquet, on the other hand, meant he was bringing her some dark news. Handing a man a flower with the right hand indicates that she is agreeable to his proposal, while presenting the flower with the left hand often means that she is declining his offer.It was important for those in the Victorian age to know what each flower meant so that they would send the right message to their lovers or anyone else. Entire dictionaries were written and published to explain this mysterious language to everyone. However, it was fairly common for mixed message nightmares to occur when two people had conflicting version of the ?language of flowers dictionary.? One of the most popular flowers during this era was the pink rose. If you?ll look at figurines, paintings, jewelry, and other heirlooms and antiques from that time, you?ll notice that the pink rose is a predominant motif in Victorian art. The rose as a symbol of love was already common knowledge then, but they also knew that each type and color carried its own meaning. Pink roses come in different shades, from a blushing pale pink to a dark crimson. The pale pink rose was the favorite of women during that time – they often used rosebuds to adorn their hair and dresses, and took care of their pink rose gardens like they would take care of children. The pink rose is said to mean a lot of things ? romantic love, in particular ? but the appeal of the pink rose today isn?t so much the message they are supposed to contain as the sheer beauty of their color and form.If you want to send your beloved a bouquet of pink roses, go for the pale pink color of aqua roses. Besides their sweet and delicate shade, aqua roses also have a heady aroma that clings to their petals; creating an aura of mystery in the room they are kept. Chances are she won?t know about the meanings Victorian women placed on the pink rose, but she will love its pastel shade and the overall effort you placed in sending her flowers.
