Flower Power In About An Hour
In today's society, time is something we have very little of, and every moment we spend with our family and friends has become so precious. I recently had an experience with decorating my daughters room that made the best of my precious time and found it to be a special bonding moment with my daughter that I will never forget.My daughter is almost three now and has always had a fascination with flowers. She will pick any flower (even some weeds) and give them to me as a special gift. I've always wanted to fill her room with the bright flowers that she loved so much. I never made it much further than to purchase some bedding with flowers on it that was on sale at target.
I've never thought of myself as much of a designer or artist, but I found myself inspired to finish my daughters room when I ran across some brightly colored daisy wall stick ups from Presto Chango Decor.com. (http://www.prestochangodecor.com/) My inspiration came...

The Venus Flower Basket - Symbol of Love
One of the most beautiful of all the creatures that live in the oceans is the rare and very seldom seen Venus flower basket. It only grows on the ocean floor at depths of three thousand to five thousand feet, in the warm tropical waters of the South Pacific, mostly around the Philippines and Japan.
This creature is actually a sponge; however it does not look anything like the sponges you use for cleaning in your home. It is extremely beautiful, intricate, and dainty. When full grown the Venus flower basket is tube shaped and about twelve inches long, usually with some slight curvature.
It looks like it is made up of an intricate fine lace expertly spun in glass fibers no thicker than human hair. It is woven in the form of a hollow tube shaped like a rams horn. The smaller, tapered end is anchored to the ocean floor by a multitude of fine glass-like fibers. The larger end has a lacey looking cap over it.
Because it looks like it is...
Flower Seed
Flowers have been grown and nurtured over years for personal and business purposes. A flower provides visual bliss in addition to a soothing aroma and an array of delightful colors. One can give cut flowers as gifts to celebrate events, express feelings or just grow them in a backyard.
It may sound strange when a botanist refers to singular divisions of a flower while referring to male and female reproductive organs. However, this is true.
Flowers are used as a reproductive organ only in certain angiosperms plants. A pistil is located in the center of a flower and it contains female organs. It has a rounded lower base, which is the ovary. These contain reproductive cells called ovule.
Pistils contain a style and a stigma, which are sticky. Pollen grains stick to the stigma through fertilization or pollination from insects, wind or other means.
This facilitates the development of pollen tubes inside the style, which navigate down to the ovary....
