After lots of anticapation the time has come. Almost all of the spikes on this Encyclia tampensis, Wild Florida Orchid are almost in bloom. It is putting on a spectacular show. I have a few pictures tonight and will try to get so better close ups this week. Here are tonights pictures of the wild orchids.Come Watch my Plants Grow
For years she has been a racy style icon but with her 50th birthday fast approaching it seems Madonna is opting for a more matronly look away from the cameras.

I don't know who was the first one who described these blossoms as candles, but they really look like ones.Prague, Czech Republic is famous for it's chestnut trees in blossom time, but have some parks with these trees also here in Riga.
You know what's interesting? Near Riga almost all the fruit trees have finished blossoming, but only some 100km up north they have only started! I am thinking then what's happening now in Estonia. Or in Finland! Have to check weather news, isn't it still snowing there! :)

I remember many of my peers telling me how they so wanted to grow up and become adults.Being an adult was synonymous with being independent, respected, listened to and taken into consideration.Being an adult meant joining the family at the big dinner table, being asked for our opinion and having a say in certain matters.You physically blossom overnight.You realize that you're considered as an adult.When you feet get longer, you realize looking down from the top is not as fun as you thought when you used to look up to see the top.As an adult, you're held responsible for a lot of things.Your thinking is criticized. Your behavior is evaluated.You are not held. You are not rocked to sleep.Your body starts to attract unwanted attention.You are sent down a spiral and asked to make it.You are des
Yes, it's that time of the year again! No, not that, not Christmas! It's springtime! Blooming of the fruit trees has started with these little yellow plums. Magnificant view, not giving up to Japanese cherry trees!

So much is blooming it is hard to keep up making notes on it all. The cherry trees, pear, and peach are all in bloom-probably the apples, too, but I didn't walk out that far to check. The crabapples are breaking into bud, the 'Snowdrift' variety has been blooming for most of this week already. Lilacs are coming into bloom, and Amelanchier canadensis is exhibiting some of the best bloom since I planted them... the larger one, A. laevis, is developing fruit - I missed seeing the flowers ( I only have one of those trees). Redbuds are in full bloom, now, too. Viburnum burkwoodi is blooming and adding its scent to the air. Everywhere the show of the ornamental trees is just spectacular. It is going past a little too quickly in the warmth and dryness, though, so I hope we get decent rainfall soo
CLICK HERE to enlargeFor about 2 weeks now since the warm, sunny weather has just started here in Michigan where the unpredictable weather is feasible. A while ago, I noticed some of the trees and plants are totally in bloomed now, after a few days ago where you could just see some of the tree buds and tiny plants bloomed and now, they were all kicking out! Wow! I never know that some trees leaves are blooming with white leaves prior to be a green one. And so, I went to take some photos of them. And just a couple of days ago, I saw some tiny flowers, just like a wild flowers in our backyard were perfectly bloomed already, wow! I am so excited with the summer time soon, too!CLICK HERE to enlargeThose photos are in front of our house.

From Canada.com :This has been coming for a while. Young, fresh designers like Cath Kidston have been showing modern stylized blooms on fabrics and pottery for years, and pop florals by Marimekko are very much back in style. But this spring the floral craze has really taken hold. The rose motif is everywhere, both in restrained two-colour patterns and riotous multicoloured prints. [ ... ] Floral draperies: I never thought I would go there - again. But I am. New bedroom drapes in a non-sweet, two-tone floral pattern would be a great change from the solid linen drapes that even I am tiring of. Fresh flowers: Emma Goldman said it best: "I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck."

When my Mum moved in to our house back in 2000, there was absolutely no landscaping.Over the years Mum has attempted her version of backyard landscaping and I think she's made some really good choices! There is almost always something blooming in our yard throughout the growing months.Mum favorite plant is just about to bloom - Forsythia. We have two of them on the south side of the corners of the house. They are just amazing shrubs with amazing yellow color. The first shrub to bloom for the year.Mum's favorite thing is go out and cut them just before the buds pop open, and put them in a humongous vase to display in our office. Then she has about two weeks to enjoy them. It's about time to go out there and trim them. Maybe this weekend. We'll be sure and get a nice pic to show you!

While homeowners all across the country drop thousands of dollars on landscaping each year, few take into account just what their yard will look like in the cold winter months. Plants tend to die back and trees go dormant, creating a dismal landscape that one must contend with all winter long. This can be avoided however, if during your initial landscaping plans you choose to include and put emphasis on shrubs and perennials that will provide visual interest in the wintertime.One of the most effective ways to go about this is to plant shrubs and perennials that bloom during the winter months. Unlike standard evergreens that few people pay attention to, these unique winter blooming specimens will delight your visitors and bring color and warmth to an otherwise cold and barren landscape.Quit

November 1 - December 5, 2007 On Doi Mae U-kor, Mae Hong Son The hills and valleys of Mae Hong Son, one of Thailand's most naturally scenic areas, turn to gold when the Dok Bua Tong wild sunflower (Tithonia Diversifolia) comes into full bloom during this period. When the flowers fade, the seeds are collected and made into insecticides. Doi Mae U-kor mountain peak in Khun Yuam district of Mae Hong Son is considered to be the an excellent location to enjoy the splendour of the sunflowers in full bloom.

I'm in the process of bringing in a lot of my houseplants and succulents for the winter. If you read this blog last winter you may remember my experiments with pollinating my Amaryllis and the subsequent Amaryllis seed pods and know that I have one or two of these flowering indoor bulbs around. At the beginning of October I moved my potted Amaryllids onto the porch so they wouldn't get sun or water and make them lose their leaves.It is generally advised that if you already own an Amaryllis and you want to get it to bloom for Thanksgiving or Christmas that you cut back on the watering and light 10-12 weeks before the time you want it to bloom. What we're doing is artificially producing a dormancy period that will result in flowers when we want them instead of when the bulb is ready to send another flower stalk out.For recently purchased Amaryllis bulbs you're suppose to plant them, give them a good watering and place them in a warm and sunny area to bring them out of the dormancy th
The color white feels so right when designing a garden for a baby angel. Whether your baby passed early in pregnancy or as an infant, a garden of beauty can be created to honor little angels gone too soon.When I see white flowers I think pure, sweet, angelic, innocent and uncomplicated. The color white is prevalent in life changing events and bridges the past to the future. People who have endured near death experiences claim to be surrounded by warm, white lights. We wear white to weddings, to christen our babies and white shirts are worn to funerals by many. White has a true respect and dignity by various cultures. White flowers not only have meaningful properties, they are the only color that is highly visible at dusk and in the moonlight. The moonlit or white garden has a classic beauty that transcends time. If your baby passed before their gender was determined, white would be suitable for both. Maybe the early evening hours are significant and reminiscent of your angel. It could
As you may be aware we recently started the beta of our new social network for the Danish market called "Bloomer".
Bloomer is one of our pet projects that is starting to gather a head of steam.
It’s built on Ning which has been a godsend for us as I’m the only real coder working on the site and has enabled us to rapidly get Bloomer "out there".
However, building Bloomer on a system such as Ning presents a large number of technical difficulties such as language integration, despite the fact that a lot of the necessary back end is already in place.
Bloomer is a Danish site. As such it needs to be in Danish. The problem is that while Nings translation tool makes the burden of translation a little easier, there are still many barriers to a true Danish translation.
Localization is one of those problems.

Artecnica Bloom Cards -- Aren't they gorgeous? We especially love the snowy Christmas Bloom. They're perfect for greetings, gifts, tags, place settings and even centerpieces -- imagine a bouquet.

We'd love to see smaller versions, maybe 2.5 in. by 2.5 in., which would make them the perfect size for Christmas tree ornaments.

JBL Spyro Computer Speakers -- What happens when you buy a pink laptop? You suddenly realize that the sleek, silver-and-black squawkboxes that you reluctantly bought under much design duress to match your previous silver-and-black, one-piece media station (that you thought was so design-forward at the time, and it was, but was out-prettified only months later) are now just totally fugifying your desktop to the extent you can't befowl your iTunes by playing them through such sonic fugments any longer, that's what. Now say that again, faster! Phew!
So our solution? A set of JBL Spyro™ speakers in fuchsia! You also can get them in teal, white and -- yes, gadget goths -- black, too. Doesn't the subwoofer just scream to be BeDazzled with your rhinestone initials?

Listening to the radio or reading the newspapers to be updated with what’s happening to the world is so 10 years ago. Today, internet – the central component of the new media is the musket of the new century. You can access millions of news around the globe in just one sitting.
Business establishments, big and small are starting to realize this. They are opting for online advertising that they are already spending bigger budgets in online marketing in order to increase web visibility. This in effect has made the revenue for newspapers and radio industry more stagnant and crucial. These advertising options have also opened friendly marketing ads for smaller businesses.
The diverse facets of online media include blogging, vlogging, podcasting and SEO. Amongst all the things that can be seen in the internet, these 3 have been the strongest ad avenue for businesses. Blogging and Vlogging have its audiences by leaps and bounds especially if the blogger is well-known. As far as costing
Stretch, Beloved. Grow. Be malleable...He whispers to me when my heart begins to beat faster in anger. Fear. Worry.From our third floor apartment, the autumn breeze is blowing through the screen door on our deck. We sniff appreciatively and smile to ourselves; our favorite season is beginning.But before too long, our noses wrinkle. My head begins to ache, and I realize that the cool breezes we were inhaling have been tainted with the smell of cigarette smoke, from the neighbor on his deck below. In irritation, I close the sliding glass door against the smoke, and, unfortunately, against the beautiful crisp air we were enjoying.To read more from today's post at CWO's Internet Cafe...

K asked me to please spend less time on the computer. He's been complaining for awhile now that every night after our children go to bed I disappear into the internet world. He told me that he'd been feeling disconnected from me and wanted me to hang out with him more "after hours." He told me all this while I was sitting at the computer.I looked at him, looked at my computer, looked at him, back at the computer...I turned it off.Later, I put my arms around his neck and said,"I'm sorry you've been feeling disconnected from me. I'll try to spend less time on the computer at night. You're the most important person in the world to me..."Just then, a certain smell wafted up to my attention, so I added,"In fact, I love you so much that I made you a little fart."
Just wanted to share some great news...my blog is now going to be carried on Cleveland.com.

The posts will be the same as the ones featured here on this site, so if you are a regular reader here, you don't need to check there...however, for people that have not heard of my blog here, it will be a good chance for them to learn more about indie shopping!!

This layout is about explaining Chloe's name. When I first took the photograph of Chloe with the daisy, I've actually never thought of doing a layout to explain her name.The idea came to me when I've tried to get some inspirations by looking at the photograph for sometime. She is so adorable with that daisy on and the thought of she is as beautiful as the daisy, suddenly triggered me the idea that her name actually means blooming!That's how the inspiration for the title came to me and with that title, I've thought of doing a page with more flowers and some blings to resembles how precious is she to me. The pearl in the middle of the daisy explains it all.of daisies on the right hand upper corner of the layout and I've also add some blings to it too!The process of creating this layout had been fun and I hope you all would give some of the techniques here a go!

Of these, the fields of pinkish-purple Siam Tulip, or "Dok Krachiao", come in to full bloom in the early part of the rainy season from June to August.Also commonly called 'patumma', 'bua sawan' (heaven lotus), or 'bua bok' (the land lotus), the Siam Tulip is a member of the ginger genera - Curcuma or Zingiberaceae.The unusual form, bright colour and long-lasting quality of the Siam Tulip has made it an increasingly popular choice for floral decorations. It is in high demand and is currently being cultivated in the form of cuttings or ornamental plants for local consumption as well as for export overseas, predo
Here's a number of wedding reception flower ideas to give you and your partner a blooming wedding.1. Flower Ideas for a Smoother and Organized DecorationFlowers play a significant role in weddings. Flowers are carried by the bride, flower girls, and possibly the bride's maids as well. Flowers can also serve as centerpieces and other décor pieces. For a smoother and organized time in decoration, you can categorize flowers according to the purpose they'll serve.2. Flower Ideas for the Bridal BouquetYou can either go for a look of uniformity or variety. There's no right choice so it all depends on your preferences. For practicality's sake, however, it would be best if your bouquet is small and handy so that it will be easy to carry around and throw for the bouquet toss. Make sure that they're without thorns as well as anything sharp can cause harm to your wedding gown.3.

The photo in this entry is Sharp Yellow. Photographed and edited by me, Lynda Walldez.Since Spring began and the showers of rain have come and gone sporadically, my garden has had a chance to bloom abundantly. Among the new plants are some big brightly striped red flowers that I assumed were tulips at first, and some vivid orange flowers that look similar but have smoother petals and are smaller in size. Although the winter blooms are dwindling, the ones that are akin to the warm weather are eager to come out and take in the sun.The rose in this entry is one of the rare blooms in my garden of yellow roses. I took advantage as best I could of photographing as many of the best blooms available. You can get an idea of the variety in my garden by looking at my Flickr sets, Roses and Flowers. This is definitely my favorite time of year now. All the vibrant colors in flowers and roses, along with the bright sun and warm air gives the world around me a sense of abundance.
