The wonderful anemone is a bulb flower from the Ranunculaceae family. It can be found mostly in areas with a moderate climate. There are multiple different colours available, ranging from white and red to blue, purple and even yellow. Most anemones, a genus containing over 120 species, blossom during Spring. This makes it a very suitable Flower of the Month for March.
We can say that most home remedies try to solve some of the post-harvest problems of cut flowers, but there isn’t one among them that optimally supports leaf and flower development. All home remedies lack clear instructions regarding accurate dosage and composition. Also, the composition of nutrients is too small to support the natural development of flowers and leaves as it would occur on the plant.
May’s flower of the month is the Calla, a flower which stands out in style, simplicity and beauty. The Calla comes in many colours; white, red, yellow, pink, orange, green, black and multi coloured. The most notable aspect of the Calla is the beautifully shaped spathe. This is also the reason the Calla is considered a lucky flower. The Greeks and Romans associated the flower with festivities and enjoyment, because the shape of the bloom resembles a goblet used for drinking.
Almost any product can cause skin irritation. Although Chrysal products are not classified as a cause of irritation, there may be circumstances where skin irritation occurs, for example if someone is repeatedly subjected to highly concentrated solutions. One of the most obvious recommendations for preventing skin irritation is to wear protective gloves while working with flowers, particularly if you know you have sensitive skin. This will keep the hands dry, which is important, because wet and/or wounded hands are more susceptible.
A new month brings a new Flower of the Month. This May, we focus on the beautiful carnation, also known as the Dianthus caryophyllus. An occasionally sweet scented flower, which originally was only available in a bright pinkish purple, but can now be found in other colours like red, yellow, green and white as well. Its exact origins are unknown, but the Mediterranean region is often cited. Nowadays, Colombia is the largest producer of carnations in the world.
Carnations can consist of a single flower, or up to five in a spray.
