The Orchid grows wild in the rain forest of the tropics-
The Orchid species are more than 25 thousand more than any other flowers-

Green


Green is the colour of renewal& hope- a metaphor for freshness in the collective imagination.
Green symbolizes many things in different cultures.
Green is the primary colour of the landscape.
Green is the colour that magically apears when nature emerges out of its gray -brown to life again.

Bouquets

Flowers should fill us with harmony & take us on a path to a place without prejudice and boundaries. All flowers are created equal.
Nature proposes - the eye disposes.
We need only to know how to look at the plant world , how to respect the uniqueness of species & to accept their natural tendencies,
We mustn't force them , but reveal them.
We mustn't change their nature , spruce them up.
We must awaken them.
There are the ceremonial bouquets made purely for display slightly arrogant,
There are the bouquet without preconceived notions which reminds us of a moment.
A bouquets value has nothing to do with its size or shape .
Finally extreme simplicity is the peak of sophistication .
The bouquet has to reveal emotion - balance - grace.

The language of flowers

Today we will talk about Tulips
Wild tulips are native to Persia & Turkey
In Persia to give a red Tulip was to declare your love.
1593 a botanist named Carlos Clusius arrived in Holland with his collections of bulbs from Turkey & Persia_the Tulip. THe word tulip is coming from the Turkish word for turban (tuelbent),so called because of the shape of its bloom.I Holland the tulip was a sensation and become very popular.
To give a yellow tulip is to declare your love hopelessly and utterly.
