Meet Up with The Florist

A friend of mine is getting married this coming December 28, to be exact, it is 11 days to go. Things are going smoothly, except for the flowers that they will be using. He hired a florist, so that they do not have to worry about their flower arrangements, but they were informed two days ago that the flowers they have chosen is not available. So they have to choose another set of flowers to be displayed on their big day. They were a bit frustrated with the florist, but they have no choice but to be calm and just understand the situation. Since my friend can not go with his soon to be wife for a meeting with the florist, he asked me to go instead. I was a bit hesitant at first, but have agreed later on. I guess, that is my role as a friend.

On the day of the meet up with their florist, we arrived at the flower shop fifteen minutes earlier. So, we decided to check out the different samples of flower arrangements that they have, while we are waiting for the florist to arrive. The arrangements are really made professionally, without a doubt, she is the best in her chosen field. I got mesmerized by one of her creations, it's just a simple set-up but, it is very elegant and can be displayed in any occasion or any home. It is a calla lilies and hydrangeas with water vase, I didn't know that they could go together, and that they created a very nice and unique tandem. We were taking pictures of the different flower arrangements when the florist arrive.

They went inside her office to discuss the details of the flower arrangements. Good thing is that, they have come up with a better flower arrangement and the flowers are all ready and available for shipment a day before the wedding. Everything has been taken cared of, and we left as a happy customer. We are just hoping and praying that there will be no errors or delay on their wedding day.

Turning To A Helthy Diet

Edible fruits have become a human's food source or sometimes a substitute for a full meal because of it's nutritional benefits especially for those who are health conscious. In botany, a fruit is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissue of the flower, one or more ovaries, and in some cases accessory tissue. Fruits are the means by which these plants disseminate seeds. In particular, many of them that bear edible fruits have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition. Fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's agricultural output, and some, such as apple and the pomegranate, have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.

Ever since childhood, I would always hear my mom saying that I should eat fruits and vegetables. At that time, I know that it is nutritious and my growing body needs it, but all I can see are chocolates, candies and junk foods. Now, that I have my own family and I'm trying to manage my weight a little bit, I have finally turned to fruit and vegetables as a healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables provides essential vitamins and minerals, fiber and other substances that are important for good health, they can also reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Good thing is that my son loves fruits and vegetables, I don't have to scare him to make him eat. 

I made sure to place a basket of fruits at the dining table, not just for decoration but for our consumption. But lately, I have noticed that every morning there would be small bites on the fruits. The mouse are eating them at night when everyone is asleep or when nobody is around. So, I have decided to keep them in the fridge and replace it with an artificial mixed fruit centerpiece. And also, put some traps to catch those annoying little creatures. Now, I am sure that the fruits are safe and the freshness are preserved, while inside the fridge.

The Great Life-Like Centerpiece

Fresh cut flowers coming from your own garden at home are the best indoor decoration, but they wither and die after hours of exposure to different elements. But with artificial plants or flowers, you could still capture that "fresh-cut" feel and the good thing is that it is permanently. Given the authentic look of silk flower arrangements from Artificial Plants Unlimited, they will surely give a high-impact piece for high-end designs. One of their creation is the mini phalaenopsis in tall cylinder vase, at first look you wouldn't even thought that it is just an artificial plant. It is made from quality-grade faux materials which is colorful, textural and is impressively lifelike. It is a premier alternative to living displays which are carefully designed fake flowers and are artfully set-up on their vases or pots.

Phalaenopsis or commonly called as Moth Orchid and is one of the most popular orchids in the trade. They are mostly found throughout Southeast Asia because in nature, moth orchids are fond of warm temperatures, so they bloom and grow beautifully in these places. Compared with the artificial plants, these natural orchid plants are easily grown at home and stays in bloom for a very long time. But the maintenance of the plant itself is the hardest part because it needs consistent moisture and a good moderate windowsill light. Establishing a good watering practices can be a bit tricky at first for a new orchid owner. Phalaenopsis like to stay generally moist but not sopping sopping wet and must be always kept in pot with good drainage. You don't have to go through all of these hassle growing the phalaenopsis plant because there are available artificial plants that are life-like.

But there are artificial plants and trees nowadays that are safer compared to before, because of the availability of fire retardant artificial foliage. Planters Unlimited, is a manufacturer of pots and planters, as well as these artificial plants and different hedges too, came up to this idea of impregnating the branches and leaves with fire retardant chemicals during the injection molding process that is to protect consumers of the risks associated with flammable products.

The Value Of Restaurants

Once in a while, we would visit restaurants to dine in with family or friends or to celebrate special occasions with our loved ones. As per Wikipedia, a restaurant is any business establishment which prepares and serves food and drinks in return for money, either paid before the meal, after the meal, or with a running tab. These are also classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors are usually the food itself examples of which are seafood, steak, vegetarian, pizza and pasta. Next is the cuisine examples are Italian, Chinese, Indian, French and Thai. Lastly is the style of offering examples of which are buffet restaurant, a tastet restaurant, a tapas bar or a sushi train.

Restaurants may also differentiate themselves on factors including speed, formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes.Nowadays, you can find restaurants everywhere. This business grew to be such a big success, especially those located in the city. With a very busy lifestyle of people they tend to visit restaurants more often rather than preparing food on their own at home. Having restaurants made our life easier and more comfortable. From inexpensive and informal lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with simple food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and fine wines in a formal setting.

The interior and exterior decorations of every restaurant also varies depending on its class. They focus more on the designs and decors as well as its lighting, outdoor seating is also available for more relaxed and open air environment. Custom made fabricated outdoor trees are sometimes on display especially in the city where it is hard to grow trees on their space. It doesn't just add beauty to the outside landscapes but also very practical because it is low in maintenance.

Flowers: The Beauty That You Get

Flowers are always a main attraction in every garden. It would attract everyone's attention by it's stunning colors and beautiful blossom. These flowers also have long been admired and used by humans not just to beautify their environment, but also as object of romance, rituals, religion, medicine, and as a source of food. People around the world uses flowers for a wide range of events and functions that cumulatively, encompass one's lifetime. For new births or Christening, as a corsage or boutonniere to be worn at social functions or for holiday, as tokens of love and esteem, for wedding flowers during the bridal party and decorations for the hall, as brightening colors within home, as a gift of remembrance for bon voyage parties, welcome home parties, for funeral flowers and expressions of sympathy for the grieving and most of all for worshiping Goddesses.

Therefore, people grow flowers around their homes, dedicate entire parts of their living space to flower gardens, pick wildflowers, or buy flowers from florists who depend on an entire network of commercial growers and shippers to support their trade. But not most of us have all the time in the world to spend for flower gardening and picking flowers. Good thing that these days artificial flowers were made.

Importance of Every Walls

Walls are said to be one of civilization's most important creations and they are commonly made of brick,metal or wood with the purpose of shielding a houses residents from the weather and other elements, as well as shielding the owners of the house from public's eye. Houses or buildings commonly have walls made of concrete or brick, which is designed by architects, planned by engineers, charged heavily by contractors and paid for heavily by home and business owners. A wall is a vertical structure which is usually solid and that defines and protects an area. most commonly a wall delineates a building and supports its superstructure, separates space in buildings into sections, or protects or delineates a space in the open air. 

Walls were made because of one main purpose, it is to support roofs and ceilings. Such walls most often have three or more separate components and will also have the structural elements such as the 2x4 studs in a house wall, insulation, and finish elements or surface such as drywall or panelling and electrical outlets are usually mounted in walls. There are also times when the walls become a work of art externally and internally, such as when featuring mosaic work or when murals are painted on them, or as design foci when they exhibit textures or painted finishes for effects.

In our modern world today, it is not only the paintings or murals were placed or used as decorations on the wall. Indoor and outdoor artificial green walls were also created to screen unattractive features of a house or a business establishment. Products which are made and manufactured by Artificial Plants Unlimited features UV resistance that is to maintain their vivid green. To ensure many years of projection and beauty, they made sure to impregnate the UV resistance into the material while it is being made instead of spraying on them after manufacturing. Every part of the house is important and has it's own purpose, make sure to have a solid foundation for your house to withstand any disasters.

Tips For Cleaning Your Artficial Plants

Artificial plants had taken a great impact in design and home improvement in our daily lives. At first, people seldom use artificial plants because it has less benefits especially in the environment. These artificial plants may not need water and light to thrive but it also needs your time and effort for cleaning and ensuring that their beauty will not fade soon.There are many ways to clean an artificial plant some are using the very basic cleaning solution which is the water and a clean damp cloth. But because of the water the leaves or the parts of an artificial plant gets wet and thus, making it more vulnerable to dust and dirt. Another option to clean them are using some salt and a paper bag. All you have to do is put the salt into a paper bag and add the flowers or the artificial plant itself. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and the dirt an it will definitely leave your flowers looking like new. I have tested and proven it a few times already. But these type of cleaning solution only works for the small artificial plants like that of a hanging basket with artificial plants or flowers.

If you will be cleaning a bigger arrangement of artificial plants, that make's it harder and costly for the cleaning to be effective. Artificial plants made from silk can be both beautiful and practical since they do not need the care that living plants need, such as watering and fertilizing, but they will still require regular cleaning to look their best. It sometimes can really be confusing to clean the plant without damaging it. Dusting the flowers using a feather duster is the quickest and easiest method for cleaning these artificial plants but is one of the least ineffective. Another way is by washing the flowers with soap and water, although this the most effective way to clean but it can easily cause damage to them by warping the fabric or loosening the glue. You could also buy cans of compressed air that are sold in office supply stores for keeping computer keyboards clean, the sprayer can loosen stubborn dust pretty effectively but has the risk of dislodging delicately glued parts of the flowers.

Or you could use the expensive method but can be very effective and does not damage your artificial plants.They are the silk flower cleaning spray, these sprays are specially designed or specially formulated to dissolve dust on contact. It is very easy to use, you could just spray and watch the dust disappear and it does not leave any sticky residue. Whatever method we are using to clean our artificial plants at home or in the office make sure that it will not cause harm to the surroundings or the people around us.

Plants For Home Improvement

There are many other types of plant that we meet every day, but we seldom recognize what plant is it, which family it belonged to or if it is an evergreen or deciduous. It is said that evergreen plants has leaves in all four season and it is always color green, while on the other hand deciduous means "falling off at maturity" or can also be "tending to fall off" and is typically used in reference to trees or shrubs that loses their leaves seasonally, and to the shedding of other parts or structures such as petals after flowering or fruit when ripe. The plant that I will be introducing today is a large genus of flowering plants in the Crassulaceae family (Crassulaceae are plants that store water in their leaves), native to the semi-desert areas of Central America, from Mexico to northwestern South America. The plant is known as Echeveria and was named after the Mexican botanical Artist Atanasio Echeverria y Godoy. 

Mostly species of Echeveria plant are well-known as ornamental garden plants that are drought resistant since they are capable of storing their own water and they do better with regular deep watering and fertilizing. No member of this family is an important crop plant, but many of these type of plants are popular for horticulture, many members of the plant have a bizarre intriguing appearance and are quite hardy, and needs only minimum care. Most can tolerate shade and some frosts, but some hybrids of these type of plant are less tolerant. When the winter time comes, the lower leaves of the plant will eventually wither and die first, and if not removed the shed leaves may decay, harboring fungus that can then infect the plant. After a few years the plants lose their attractive and compact appearance, thus, it needs to be re-rooted and propagated.

Good thing that nowadays, they were able to make an artificial plant of the Echeveria plant and it is great for indoor use. Designed and manufactured by Artificial Plants Unlimited, these 6" Wide Indoor Echeveria are perfect for any home settings and you won't have to worry about the shedding of the leaves and the watering of the plants, so you are assured that the plants will never loose it's beauty even after many years passed by.

The Truth About Barrel Cactus Plants

Did you know that Barrel cactus is a fruit? Yes, it is indeed a pineapple-shaped fruit that grows in the Southwest Desert of North America. They can be pulled out easily from the soil and though they are edible,  it is not recommended for consumption due to their taste. Barrel cactus grows into a squat tubular shape thus, giving it the appearance of a very spiky ribbed barrel.Whoever have seen the plant can affirm that fierce cactus" is an apt description because of the densely packed, stiffed pines covering the freshly-looking plant. These plants are considered as an iconic emblem of the desert southwest and thrives in sandy or rocky soil with little water and lots of sun. The larger spines keep away desert creatures while the smaller spines prevents water loss by reflecting away some of the intense desert sunlight.

It is also believed that the Native Americans collected these pineapple-shaped fruit as an emergency food during extreme drought conditions. But also remember that one must be extra careful in approaching a Barrel Cactus. A puncture to human skin from one of the spines is already considered as a "dirty-wound" and if the puncture is deep enough to draw blood, that person may need to take antibiotics for several months so that the wound could heal properly. Barrel cactus are considered one of the most dangerous desert plant. Although these Cacti plants have many uses especially for those who are traveling in the desert. It can be an emergency source of water and the flowers are collected and eaten dry or fresh, fishing hooks made of spines and some Native Americans use this plant for making candies.

We can still have these plant at home without having to remove them from the wild or the desert, indoor artificial plants can be the best solution. Since it will add beauty to your home or office, you will also be worry-free from the dangers that it may cause your skin due to it's spines. The 12" Barrel Cactus from hooks and lattice is one of the most popular trends in interior decorating and modern design.

Food Is Art And Soul

Food establishments are growing so fast nowadays, I think the main reason for this is because, we people love to eat and we always look for food that is something new to our taste buds. Sometimes, we would also want to try foods that were recommended to us by friends or any family member who was able to experience eating at that specific restaurant. But of course, we also have to take into consideration, the price of the food if it fits our budget, the place if it's clean, relaxing and safe and lastly is the accommodation or service if the crew of that restaurant are friendly, approachable and most of all reliable. Exterior and interior designs greatly affect the mood of the customers or guests, because their first impression at the restaurant would be base on the physical appearance and not on the food itself.

In that case, restaurant owners must know the latest trend in architectural design in decorating. Others pay for designers while others prefer to be hands on in everything with regard to their business. Art and Soul, the Capitol Hill restaurant in Washington DC, is owned and managed by best known Celebrity Chef Art Smith, he used to be Oprah Winfrey's personal chef. He grew up in the South, where he acquired an early appreciation for simple, fresh food prepared and served with love. The Capitol Hill restaurant underwent a renovation and re-opened late February of this year. Customers can find new interiors for the restaurant as well as added Fire Retardant Artificial Boxwood Hedge for decorations and visually separate the dining and lounging spaces while still maintaining an open air feel, as well as beautiful herringbone wood floors and textured artwork,subtle lighting, and 16 foot rolling glass walls.

Our Beautiful World

Plants are beautiful creations of God that we humans should take care of and needs to cultivate because they are very useful in our everyday living. Just like every humans, Plants have cells and goes through a process called Photosynthesis, in which they manufacture their own food molecules using the energy that they obtain from the sun. The primary mechanism that plants have for capturing light energy is the pigment chlorophyll. There are a lot of plants that are edible and can be eaten without the process of cooking. God is so wise and wonderful that he was able to make all of these living and non-living things, and each one of them plays an important role in the ecosystem. Since, our world is evolving and changing so fast, humans, have created technology to help and lessen their work load. 

Because of technology, we were able to make machines that are still operated by humans for many purposes. Just like in machines, humans were also able to make artificial plants and trees that is use for business establishments, public locations, residential spaces and many more areas that is for beautification that needs less maintenance. Unlike with the real ones, artificial plants do not need to have direct heat from the son because they do not have cells and do not undergo the process of photosynthesis, they also do not need to be watered from time to time, and most of all these artificial plants do not need fertilizers as well as pesticides. In most business establishments they are using indoor artificial plant and trees to add appeal and beauty and fro convenience too. An Indoor artificial boxwood hedge with a simple planter are a great way for establishments and public spaces to add privacy to any indoor application, they are perfect to cover unsightly views for the customers and visitors too. 

These decorative artificial plants and trees although do not play an important role in our Eco-system, but they play an important role in our everyday lives. Not only that they make the surrounding beautiful but also they help us humans lessen our task of growing, cultivating and maintaining them. Natural plants or artificial plants they are both important and can create a stress-free surrounding.

Beauty in Artificial Ferns

 

Plants are great for indoor and outdoor decorations, they turn one living room into a beautiful space for accepting guests and to share your stories to the whole family. Artificial plants are also becoming a trend when it comes to decorations and accenting one space at home, office or any business or residential space. When it comes to artificial plants production or manufacturing name, there is only one name that we could trust and that is Artificial Plants Unlimited by Hooks and Lattice. They make artificial plants look so much lifelike, and uses materials only of the highest quality and has passed the international standards.

One of the plants that I really like is the fish-tail fern, I am glad that Artificial Plants Unlimited have them already. Fish-tail ferns have many uses and attracts attentions of any guests by it's beautiful leaves. The fish-tail fern came from or is a natural mutant of the species commonly called the "climbing bird's nest fern" and is common to Asia, Africa and Polynesia. It got it's name or was given the name fish-tail fern because the leaves or fronds are crested or forked resembling the tail of a fish. The popularity of the fish-tail fern has slowly flourished since its introduction to Europe through Netherlands. Thus, production of the fish-tail fern in a commercial-scale opens for both the local and foreign affairs. It will not only meet the growing demands for this plant but also provides additional livelihood opportunities to growers. 

Having an artificial fish-tail fern at home saves you time from growing the real one and taking care of it. Although, just like any other regular plant , the fish-tail fern is not difficult to grow but it still needs cautious and tedious process like propagation and fertilization to ensure a healthy growth of the plant. Artificial plants are good alternatives of the natural plants especially if used as decorations at home because they will not wither and die just like the real plants do.

Uses of Aloe Vera Plant

 

One of the many plants that I have known with many uses is the Aloe Vera. It has a stemless or very short -stemmed succulent plant spreading by offset. This type of plant will always be present in every garden of any household because of it's many uses. I used to hate watering them when I was a kid, because it took up my time for playing with my friends every morning and as well as in the afternoon. Now, I have come to realize that my grandmother is right, we should take care of the plants that we have in our garden because they may be very useful to us especially the medicinal plants. They can be a home remedy for many accidents, like cuts, burns, and bruises as well as good for the hair and skin treatment. It also has many health benefits because it is rich in vitamins and minerals and it also supports digestion and detoxification and many more. 

Having my own family now, I want to pass on that knowledge regarding this very helpful plant. together with some of the medicinal plants, we planted the Aloe Vera at our backyard, so in cases of emergencies we could use them. I wanted to bring some of the Aloe Vera at the office, but my office mates do not like the smell of it. I explained to them that the plant is just for display as a decor to my desk. But then they still oppose it. I was thinking of bringing some Bonsai instead of the Aloe Vera to the office, but one day, to my surprise, I saw a 22" Soft Touch Aloe Bush beside my table. They have bought an indoor artificial plant instead, in that way our office won't be so smelly because of the real Aloe Vera plant. 

I was very pleased with the gift that they had bought me, although it's not the real one, at least, it doesn't look artificial. It is incredibly lifelike plus it's maintenance free. It really gave a different look to my desk, seeing the plant made our working environment into a more comfortable and happy place.
