Blooming dahlias should be available now in most nurseries and garden centers.Tip of the Week: A special sale of orchids to readers is being held by Art and Aurora Mendoza on March 22, 23, and 24 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 16057 Nordhoff St., North Hills, 91343. Refreshments will be served. The Mendozas specialize in growing dozens of cymbidium orchid varieties, available in 8-inch and one-gallon containers for $5-10 dollars. Dendrobium and Cattleya orchids will also be on sale. Cymbidiums are nearly always grown in containers but they may also be planted in the ground in suitably amended soil.

Get the most from the polka dot plant’s bright color by growing it a pot that contrasts or complements the colorful foliage. Mix it with other polka dot plant varieties that have white or red leaves to create a peppered look! The plant looks best short, so keep pruning and pinching it often and since it is an annual, do remember that it has a short shelf life.RED AMARANTH Amaranthus CruentusThis superfood looks superb when grown in the kitchen. Even if you do not have a green thumb, the salad leaf can be grown using soil-less gardening techniques, in a plant gel or hydroponically. Having a steady supply of the nutritious plant growing on the window sill also means you could save some grocery shopping money! Many small, tropical, songbirds draw nectar from the amaranth flower so expect pleasant surprises at the kitchen window, when this one blossoms!DWARF LILY Nymphaea RubraThis emerse plant comes from the same genus as the water lily and is a big hit with aquarium keepers!

It is fairly easy to grow even in low light plant which is why it is recommended even to amateur aquascapers. It grows from a bulb and has both leaves underwater and lily pads on top of the water. Even if you don’t keep fish as pets, this makes an attractive spectacle when grown in a glass vase or decanter! All you have to do is top up the water levels from time to time.ALSO READ:Kunal Maniar’s inspired design for this garden fuses nature with decor... https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/asian-paints-awakening-colour-of-the-year-indoor-plants/

If the poinsettias are ready, can Christmas be far behind? - Montreal Gazette

Those that are ready are being packed and loaded onto trucks destined for Quebec big-box stores including Provigo, Maxi, Home Depot and counterparts in Ontario — and the rest will follow in the weeks ahead.Among their employees are seasonal workers from Guatemala and Mexico.John Kenney / Montreal GazetteThe poinsettia (botanical name Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a perennial flowering shrub native to Mexico; in its natural habitat it can grow to three metres or taller. It blooms in November and December as the days grow shorter and the nights lengthen. What most people think of as its flowers are, in fact, modified leaves called bracts. The poinsettia’s true flowers are an unassuming cluster of yellowish orbs at the base of the bracts.The plant owes its English name to Joel Roberts Poinsett, United States ambassador to Mexico from 1825 to 1829. An avid amateur botanist, he saw euphorbias with red bracts growing wild in the hills around Taxco and had samples sent to his South Carolina home. There he propagated them in his greenhouses and gave them to friends and botanical gardens.

Why this Kamloops flower shop is handing out 500 free bouquets today - iNFOnews

Alanna Gobkes says this is the first year the company has participated and notes they are one of four stores in Canada handing out free flowers. She says there are two floral shops participating in Ontario and one in Manitoba. The annual event is organized by the Society of American Florists, and she hopes to see more Canadian participation in the coming years. “There are quite a few flower shops down in the States that are taking part in it but nobody up in Canada has really caught on so we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to sort of spread it around and let people know that Petal It Forward can be a great thing for communities,” Gobkes says. Volunteers and employees have already handed out almost 200 bouquets to people at the Royal Inland Hospital and downtown on Victoria Street today. “It’s not a promotion and we’re not accepting any donations,” Gobkes says. “This is a great opportunity to spread some positive emotions and connections between people.” Gobkes estimates the bouquets cost about $5 each to make and are comprised of a carnation, mini carnation or eryngium thistle, filler and a sprig of greenery. “They’re not huge, but they’re bright and cheery. It’s something nice to put on your desk or next to your bedside table. It’s always nice to wake up and smell fresh flowers in your room,” Gobkes says. “It makes you wake up with a smile on your face.” Recipients are given two bouquets and encouraged to give one away to a stranger or loved one, which Gobkes says helps create community connectivity. “The idea behind this is to make someone feel good that you don’t know, its connecting people,” Gobkes says. “People are willing to put themselves out there a little bit and put a smile on a stranger’s face.” You can find the volunteers downtown and at the Royal Inland Hospital. They'll be at the Aberdeen Mall later this afternoon.Credit: FACEBOOK / Kamloops Florist ... https://infotel.ca/newsitem/why-this-kamloops-flower-shop-is-handing-out-500-free-bouquets-today/it66965
