The Gift Of Flowers Can Change A Life

We can compare the heart’s good cheer to a floral offering. A bright bouquet can change the flow of the rest of the day. Flowers are appropriate gifts to persons of all ages and in any conceivable circumstance. So the heart’s good cheer and deeds of kindness are always acceptable to children and youth, to busy men and women, to the aged, and to a world of invalids.

Do you remember a time when you picked a neighbor’s flower or even a pretty weed from along the roadside and proudly took it home to your mother just to?

Holidays and events such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Administrative Professionals’ Day, Mothers’ Day, All Souls Day, Advent, Easter, weddings and funerals give us an excuse to give the gift of flowers. We buy and plant flowers for our own personal enjoyment and to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, thank-you’s and get-well wishes.

Flowers also play a large part in the decor of special events and meetings. Centerpieces, entry ways, reception tables, bridal bouquets, wedding chuppahs, churches, horse and dog shows, and stage sets are only a few examples of how flowers are used in the business and social event arenas. Even the horse winning the Kentucky Derby is adorned with roses.

Flowers have various different meanings in different cultures. Poppies are used to remember fallen soldiers only in Great Britain and the Commonwealth countries. Col. John McCrae of Canada wrote the poem, "In Flander’s Field." It describes blowing red fields of poppies among the battleground of the fallen.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars conducted its first poppy distribution before Memorial Day in 1922. In 1924, disabled veterans at the Buddy Poppy factory in Pittsburgh assembled the first VFW Buddy Poppies. Since then, the VFW’s Buddy Poppy program has raised millions of dollars in support of veterans’ welfare and the well being of their dependents. VFW Buddy Poppies are assembled by disabled and needy veterans who are paid for their work to provide them with some form of financial assistance.

The minimal cost of Buddy Poppies to VFW units provides compensation to the veterans who assemble the poppies, provides financial assistance in maintaining state and national veterans’ rehabilitation and service programs and partially supports the VFW National Home for orphans and widows of our nation’s veterans.

Here’s a cool flower video I found. 

4. Malformed or stunted leaves and flowers

What could have caused this is the presence of spider mites. They are tiny yellow, red or green spiders on the underside of leaves. They also suck juices from leaves. The application of Orthene or Isotox may help in treating this infestation.

5. Weak and mottled leaves with tiny white webs under them

This might be caused by aphids. They are small soft-bodied insects that usually brown, green or red. Often clustered under leaves and flower buds, they suck plant juices from tender buds. Malathion or diazinon spray may help roses to survive these bugs.

6. Flowers that don’t open or are deformed when they open.

Thrips could be the reason behind this deformation and unopened flowers. It is characterized with slender, brown-yellow bugs with fringed wings thriving in flower buds. They also suck juices from flower buds. One should cut and discard the infested flowers. Using Orthene and malathion may also treat this health problem of your roses.

This valuable information regarding the diseases your roses are prone to have will prove to be very helpful in making your rose gardening endeavor more rewarding.

1. Black Spots on Leaves

This disease is commonly known as black spot. Black spots appear as circular with fringed edges on leaves. They cause the leaves to yellow. The solution is to remove the infected foliage and pick up any fallen leaves around the rose. Artificial sprays may be used to prevent or treat this kind of rose disease.

2. Stunted or malformed young canes

Known as powdery mildew, this is a fungal disease that covers leaves, stems and buds with wind spread white powder. It makes the leaves to curl and turn purple. Spray with Funginex or Benomyl to treat this fungal disease that could ruin your rose garden.

3. Blistered underside of leaves

A disease of roses known as rust, it is characterized with orange-red blisters that turn black in fall. In spring, it attacks new sprouts. This disease can even survive winter. What you can do is to collect and discard leaves that are infected in fall. Benomyl and Funginex spraying every 7-10 days may help.
