Chrysanthemum

Image
Chrysanthemums  sometimes called  mums  or  chrysanths , are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum  in the family Asteraceae. They are native to East Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China. Countless horticultural varieties and cultivars exist. Chrysanthemumswere first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. Over 500 cultivars had been recorded by 1630. By the year 2014 it was estimated that there are now over 20,000 cultivars in the world and about 7,000 cultivars in China. The plant is renowned as one of the Four Gentlemen in Chinese and East Asian Art. The plant is particularly significant during the Double Ninth Festival. Chrysanthemum cultivation began in Japan during the Nara and Heian periods (early 8th to late 12th centuries), and gained popularity in the Edo period (early 17th to late 19th century). Many flower shapes, colours, and varieties were created. The way the

Bee fingerprints

Image
The insects secrete invisible markers when they touch their feet on a surface, which can be detected by themselves and other bumblebees. Researchers from the University of Bristol, in the UK, found that bees can distinguish between their own scent, the scent of a relative and that of a stranger. This ability can be used to improve their success at finding good sources of food and avoiding flowers that have already been visited and mined of nutrients. Bee fingerprints “Bumblebees secrete a substance whenever they touch their feet to a surface, much like us leaving fingerprints on whatever we touch,” says the lead author, Richard Pearce. “Marks of this invisible substance can be detected by themselves and other bumblebees, and are referred to as scent-marks.” “We performed three separate experiments with bumblebees, where they were repeatedly exposed to rewarding and unrewarding flowers simultaneously that had footprints from different bees attached to them.” In the study, each flower ty

Olive Trees

Olive Trees Shutterstock.com Though not a traditional flower, no list of religious plants would be complete without the olive tree. From ancient times until today, olive branches have long been a symbol of peace and victory throughout much of the world. The tree also holds special significance to each of the three Abrahamic religions. Muslims associate olive trees with Paradise, and it is said that Muhammad anointed himself with olive oil so often that his prayer shawl became saturated with it. In Christianity, some traditions hold that Jesus was crucified on a cross made of olive wood, and archaeologists have found crucifixion nails that had slivers of olive wood still attached.  For Jews, olive trees represent peace, prosperity, beauty and God’s relationship with His people. Olive oil was used for many things in ancient Israel, from cooking to anointing kings, and olive branches still appear on the Israeli emblem today in honor of that history.

Poinsettias

Image
Poinsettias Shutterstock.com Poinsettias are associated in the West almost solely with Christmas. They are everywhere around the holiday. Unsurprisingly, this flower has quite a bit of symbolism. The star shape of the flowers is said to represent the Star of Bethlehem, and the red petals stand for Jesus’ blood. Legend has it that a young girl in Mexico was once sad that she could not afford a present to bring to the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus. As she was walking along, an angel inspired her to pick a handful of weed flowers from the side of the road. She took them with her, and when she laid them in front of the nativity, the weeds turned into a red poinsettia bush. Given that the flower is associated with the celebration of Christ’s birth, it is ironic that the plant is actually poisonous. This is why houses with small children often do not display poinsettias. The bright red flowers and unusually textured petals might prove to be too tempting for curious youngsters to resis

Image
Classified as exceedingly rare since 1884, the Parrot’s Beak flower is believed to be  extinct  in the wild, though some individuals believe it may still be alive.  The plant is native to the Canary Islands and is believed to have been originally pollinated by sunbirds which have long gone extinct.  Experiments have been done to see if the flowers could have found new pollinators but, as of 2008, none of these experiments have been successful.
