African Daisies, Coolgardie

These were imported from South Africe many years ago and have colonised all parts of Australia. The colours are gaudy, bright and beautiful but unfortunately they crowd out native plants and affect Banksias in particular. They've been declared a weed and a pest in several states.

National Flower Day

National Flower Day is on March 21 every year, right after the first official spring day. Flowers in spring have that extraordinary quality that words can’t do justice to. We can practically sniff everything beautiful about spring — that unmistakable scent of hope and renewed energy. Colorful buds and petals, slowly peek their heads up to meet the sun. Flowers perfectly embody the emotions associated with spring. Gifting flowers is always a good idea. Few things can uplift spirits the way flowers do. Do you want to make someone feel special? Mark an occasion? Or perhaps need a mood-uplift yourself? Say what you need to say with flowers, today and always.

History of National Flower Day

The earliest connection between flowers and their importance to humans dates back to the paleolithic age with the discovery of flower fossils. Similarly, gifting flowers has always been central to life and culture. Across civilizations, flowers would feature prominently in ancient myths and stories. The Ancient Greeks revered flowers and associated them with several Gods.

Flowers have bloomed on Earth and in our hearts throughout history as we know it. They bring an extra spring to our steps. Add color to mundane days. Flowers can convey love, joy, and strength through every season or reason. Their fragrance and beauty bring cheer to anyone’s day.

National Flower Day in March reminds us to pause and appreciate nature’s art. The holiday is perfect for planting more flowers. You could gift flowers to someone or even yourself. It’s a great day for a long stroll in the park or a short hike. To stop and smell the roses, tulips, or camellias. As you soak in pops of color in gardens everywhere, it’s hard not to radiate the same joy.

If you’ve been dreaming of spring blooms throughout the winters, today’s perfect to prep for spring gardening. This special day helps us get ready for warm weather. The perfect pick-me-up after a long, dreary winter. Today’s excellent for getting our gardens ready for spring. National Flower Day is also an excuse to celebrate big moments and small ones. Gift flowers to someone you love or to yourself as a personal pat on the back.

5 Facts About Tulips That Will Blow Your Mind

Central-Asian origins

The Tulip market crash

Tulips follow the sun

They’re edible

Never say die

Although Holland made the tulip poplar, tulips are native to the Tien Shan mountains in Central Asia.

Holland’s tulip industry came to a crash in 1637 when too many speculators sold the flowers at one time.

Tulips move with the sun’s rays even when inside a vase.

Those who couldn’t afford food during WWII ate tulips and tulip bread to survive.

Tulips continue growing even after you cut them.

Suffering for Art

I’ve never been one to believe in suffering for my art. Not that “my art” is actually art — it’s more in the line of pretty photos I’ve taken to memorialize some flowers I’ve grown. And if art isn’t worth suffering for, then pretty photos — no matter how attractive — definitely are not worth suffering for. Actually, there wasn’t much pain or suffering involved, and it was a silly thing anyway…
