I'm Back!

I haven't posted for a long time on my blog because of my busy schedule. But I'm back now! Here's a set of yellow flowers to celebrate the success of our new President Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino. The Filipino people are hoping for a big change in our country.

I don't own any flower business or shop as of the moment but who knows what will the future bring. I just love plants and flowers which inspired me to create this blog.

Please keep on supporting my blog and I will keep you updated with different flower arrangements as well as facts and ideas about the flowers that I might find interesting to discuss on my blog.

God bless everyone...

Poinsettia

The Poinsettia, or Euphorbia pulcherrima has been considered as one of the symbols of Christmas. It's name "Poinsettia" is named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United Minister to Mexico, who introduced the plant to US in 1828.

The plant is called Cuetlaxochitl (skin flower) by the Aztecs in their language. The Aztecs used the plant as antipyretic medication.

Today, this plant is known as "Noche Buena" in Mexico and Guatemala which means Christmas' Eve. In Chile and Peru, the plant became known as "Crown of the Andes." In Spain, it is known as "Flor de Pascua" or Easter Flower.

It was believed in Mexico in 16th century that there was a young girl who too poor to give a gift for the celebration of Jesus' birthday. According to the legend, the child was inspired by an angel to gather weeds from the roadside and place them in front of the church altar. To their surprise, crimson blossoms sprouted from the weeds. It became beautiful poinsettias. It was in 17th century when the Franciscan friars started to include poinsettias in their Christmas celebrations.

In the US, poinsettias are typical Christmas decorations in homes, churches, offices and elsewhere. It is available almost everywhere like in grocery, drug and hardware stores. US celebrates the National Poinsettia Day in December 12.

Sunflower Field

I love sunflowers! I just love it's look and color. I know they don't smell good but I love their color. Because of sunflowers, yellow became one of my favorite colors.

Isn't it very relaxing to sit and enjoy the scenery of a sunflower field? I wish I could have my own sunflower field someday. I'm planning to grow my own sunflower plants. I used to plant sunflowers but I wasn't that good in growing plants that time. I hope I'll be successful this time.
