Flower Care Tips |
Hydrangea
Hydrangeas like acidic soil and are gorgeous blooming shrubs with plenty of
color June through December. They like full sunlight and good, rich potting
soil kept evenly moist. Prune the plant in early spring.
Ivy
Ivy is easy to care for and likes to grow in bright but indirect sunlight. Mist
occasionally and keep the soil moist.
Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe are succulents which grow best indoors in full sunlight. Avoid getting
water on the leaves feed only twice a year. Use general purpose potting soil
with a little bit of added sand.

| A
bit of Flower History |
Flowers create a special
language of their own. The meaning of flowers, herbs and leaves has been written
about for centuries. Each book written may proclaim a different meaning, but the
meaning of flowers are, after all, whatever you want them to be. The bloom of
a dandelion given by a small child holds as much love as a rose given by a admirer.
Various flowers can create interesting conversation. Definitions are dependant
on color, size, buds or full blooms and whether they are alone, paired or in bouquets.
A lot to remember when trying to pick just the right flower for someone special.
