My 14th Entry

Thank you Luis Santilli Jr for creating Today's Flowers for us and your Team! Thank You Very Much!!!


There's more flowers here in Today's Flowers with TF Team on Board: Santilli - Denise - Pupo - Valkyrien




Today's Flower comes from my garden. I don't know the name of this flower. It's a shrub with long thick leaves. This was feasted by snails so I pruned the old branches. It came out more dense and compact.



Cheers!

Say it with Flowers - Floral Friday

Wanna join the FUN?



Ah what can we do with flowers? Taken last July 18, 2009, five moons ago.

Tangerine Lilium

I took this last October 30, 2009 in Canberra during the funeral of our beloved former Minister, Mr Rob Barnett.

Beautiful Daisy

This grows along the roadside lawn on the street where I live. The owner just watched me as I took these pictures.

A Purple Butterfly

Please don't take my word for it. I don't know the name of this flower. It grows in a shrub. They bloom in semi-cluster. This is found within the village where I live.

Yellow Shamrock

I saw this plant growing in the front lawn of one of the houses I pass by in going to the shop or the train station. And it's my first time to see this famous weeds or three-leaf grasses bearing yellow flowers. So I stopped and clicked the shutter. What fascinates me was the unusual colour for I thought clover blooms are white?

Anyway, I checked this out in Wikipedia, so I can add a bit of flavour with my posting. I have been becoming too monotonous these days. Not up to blogging with substance.

The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland. It is a three-leafed old white clover. It is sometimes of the variety Trifolium repens (a white clover, known in Irish as seamair bhán) but today usually Trifolium dubium (a lesser clover, Irish: seamair bhuí).

The diminutive version of the Irish word for "clover" ("seamair") is "seamróg", which was anglicised as "shamrock", representing a close approximation of the original Irish pronunciation. However, other three-leafed plants — such as black medic (Medicago lupulina), red clover (Trifolium pratense), and wood-sorrel (genus Oxalis) — are sometimes designated as shamrocks. The shamrock was traditionally used for its medical properties and was a popular motif in Victorian times. It is also a common way to represent Saint Patrick's Day.

However, there is an even much more interesting tidbits I found on the internet courtesy by BBC News UK. Read on this link.

Cheers!

Christmas Centerpieces

I think many of us have begun to ignore the very traditional Christmas centerpieces. A festive and unique addition to the dinner table or a coffee table in a Christian home. Poinsettias seem to rule the roost these days. This may be due to the proliferation in grocery stores creating a higher demand, or partly because they are an inexpensive gift to bring to a Christmas party. Centerpieces

Tulips from Amsterdam

These floral pictures were sent by someone from Amsterdam very very long time ago. Whether this is her own photograph or was copied from somewhere, how would I know?

But I do have personal encounter with a sea of tulips in Canberra around 1995 during the Floriade Festival. I will look for them, scan then post. It's only a matter of time and diligence to do it.

Flowers from Taupo's Waipahihi Botanical Reserve

Over two-thousands of them, Rhododendrons were planted in this Botanical Reserve along with azaleas and camellias.

Appropriate flowers for Hanukkah

First, off, the gifts should arrive before sundown on December 11, 2009. Second, flowers can be whites, blues, silvers, and even pastels are acceptable. Try cala lilies for an appropriate flower gift on Hanukkah. Blue hydrangeas seem to be popular, but not always easy to find this time of year. A mix of lilies and iris is also a nice combination. A poinsettia is not appropriate. 2009

Pink Diapanthus

Will give this shot to Floral-Friday #1

White Lilium

My floral offering for the church last November 28, 2009. I don't know the exact name of this orange daisy flowers. They somewhat resembles Gerbera or African Daisy and they look beautiful. I bought this from Aldi Store here in our area, about 8 minutes walk from where I live.

Mini Geranium from Lithgow

In our first and only stop at Lithgow from the city to Orange, I got out from the car just to click my shutter for this huge pot with mini-pink Geranium, flowering generously. I just call it mini because of the miniature leaves of the plant. November 22, 2009

Rhododendron

Taken during my recent trip to Orange, New South Wales, my former hometown for 15 years. This red Rhododendron grows right in the much loved and famous Cook Park, once a winner of the National Garden Park Competition. November 22, 2009

White Rose

One that stands out amongst Nancy's Rose Garden in our little village garden she maintains with the help of fellow residents. Taken last 24th October 2009

Flower Pics - Fall Landscape

Here is a Flower Pics photo of the fall landscape...http://flowerspics.blogspot.com/2009/10/fall-colors.html

Chicory Flowers

Ahh - the blue eyed maiden - the chicory flower is a rare beauty - blooming in the morning and dying off at the end of the day. This flower is also known as "corn flower" or "coffee weed" - Of course the root is ground up and used in the traditional drink, the leaves are eaten by humans and grazed on by cows, and the French have been known to do something with the roots in the winter to produce

Fall Foliage

I have wrote about the fall foliage in the past, and I say I'll be more creative and come up with something else to write about, but the palette of intense crimson, gold, burnt sienna paired with the sights and sounds of the wild animals rustling to gather their food for winter fighting over walnuts and leaves. So far it has been mild and the roses and other flowers are still around so enjoy

Energetic Flower Painting

Someone sent me this painter's web site, and I really thought this painting of a sunflower was energetic to say the least...http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26955858I hope you enjoy as well...

Meaning of a Dozen Red Roses

Meaning of a dozen roses:There are many meanings - floriography, especially when throwing color into the mix. I'll give you my top 10:10 - Complete declaration of love 9 - Happy Valentine's Day 8 - Thinking of you every month of the year 7 - Perfect Love 6 - Sacred Love 5 - Mystical Love 4 - Be Mine 3 - True love 2 - Uncreative and unoriginal 1 - Anything less than a dozen red roses says you're

Summer flowers

The lavender is just beginning to bloom, but some of the warmer weather varieties are just now forming stalks and buds. Since the weather has been a bit cooler this growing season, and winter was colder, there has been a loss on the Provence variety in the garden. As the Grosso flowers and the Hidcote buds the bumble bees are humming much more than last season. There must be 4 times as many

Flower Pics

Tulips are a perennial favorite. See my pic site for more flower pics.

Mother's Day Flowers - Mother's Day is May 10th

This information was passed along to me by a colleague. His research tells us the following about Mother's Day gifts this year:"Flowers will be the most popular gift this year: 66.8% of shoppers will present mom with a bouquet, spending a total of $1.9 billion on blooms (compared with last year's $2 billion). The most popular flower for the holiday? The lovely rose." B. Tolces

Ahh - Spring flowers are here

The buds have broke, the tulips peaking, and the daffodils are almost done. The garter snakes are stirring the robins nesting, and the starlings grazing...The color of spring will soon be full bore and the browns and grays of winter a memory long gone...Find yourself a cozy spot and just sit, listen and watch...quite refreshing...

The REAL reason you never received your flowers

This florists' delivery driver just dropped off a delivery to a high rise office building and proceeded to exit the building easement moving in a forward direction when he ran into and busted the rear flashing tail light of a PARKED fire engine! The driver was ticketed by the cops already on the scene, but ironically was able to keep his job delivering flowers. The best part - the florist says,
