How to Care for Orchids
6th October 2009 (wikihow.com)

Tiny Flower Turns Pig Poop into Fuel
1 May 2009 (wired.com)
The tiniest flowering plant could prove well-suited to two very big jobs: cleaning industrial animal pollution and providing clean biofuel. Able to thrive on nutrients in animal waste, duckweed produces far more starch per acre than corn, say researchers. It could be an alternative to corn-based ethanol biofuel, which is disfavored by environmentalists because of waste generated in farming it. "Based on our laboratory studies, we can produce five to six times more starch per unit of footage," said Jay Cheng, a biological engineer at North Carolina State University.

Is it OK to buy flowers?
1 May 2009 (guardian.co.uk)
I recently stood on a walkway high above the enormous Dutch flower auction at Aalsmeer, watching a sea of blooms in motion below me. Twenty million flowers a day move through these giant auction houses, coming into the Netherlands from places such as Kenya, Ecuador, Thailand and China, and then getting shipped to flower shops in London, New York and Paris. Here were thousands of truckloads of festivity, well wishes, love, apologies and even regrets. It's a vast global trade built on the flower's mysterious ability to communicate affection and sentiment. This is especially true on Mother's Day, when an estimated 7m bunches of flowers go to British mothers, bringing the flower industry £225m in sales.

Flower Power Blooms in First Climate-Change Game
1 May 2009 (wired.com)
People have been arguing about this gorgeous little tone poem since it was released two weeks ago. As many reviewers have noted, the game is very abstract. You control a flower petal, guiding it with a gust of wind through blighted, brown landscapes. As you touch different flowers, you gradually bring the landscape back to life — and trees and grass burst into color.

Blooms Away: The Real Price of Flowers
1 May 2009 (scientificamerican.com)
Roses are red… They are also fragile and almost always flown to the U.S. from warmer climes in South America, where roughly 80 percent of our roses take root; to warm the hearts of European sweethearts, they are most often imported from Africa. They are then hauled in temperature-controlled trucks across the U.S. or the Continent and locked up overnight in cold boxes before their onward journey to the florists of the world. According to Flowerpetal.com, which tries to limit the environmental impact of flower purchases, sending the roughly 100 million roses of a typical Valentine's Day produces some 9,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from field to U.S. florist. So what's a lovesick, albeit "green," beau to do?

Anthurium
22 April 2009 (evergrowing.com)
Cut flowers are a wonderful gift, but after they die, all you're left with is an empty vase! An everlasting alternative is the Anthurium plant. Put it in an attractive container, and "voila". The foliage is shiny and dark green, while the flowers are very showy. Available in reds, pinks, lavender, and whites, the flowers are heart shaped, and can last up to 8 weeks. Anthuriums require little care, and bloom almost continuously in good conditions. This blooming plant likes bright light and needs to dry out to the touch between watering, making good drainage essential. Even when they are not in bloom, they are a beautiful foliage plant.

Daisy Flower Meaning
In earlier days, maidens wore daisy flowers to decorate their hair, which symbolized simplicity and innocence of youth. Also, there was a time, when a daisy flower gifted by a maiden was considered a sign of affection and respectable gesture. Till today, a daisy flower is used to express the language of love in a special way. It is commonly related to the fifth wedding anniversary. Or a bouquet of daisies is given to a new mother to welcome the newborn baby.
