jasmine is a tropical garden favorite: the sweetest fragrance at night is
intoxicating! It is one of the most famous and desirable fragrant plants.

sunrise. Aroma is sweet, pleasant and intoxicating. These flowers are widely
used in India and other countries of South Asia for perfumery, medicinal
applications and in religious ceremonies. Best location will be near driveway,

Grow Food Not Lawns - this is the theme for our Garden party. But it's much more than that. It's a philosophy and a
state of mind. One that more and more people are adopting as the world's food
supply continues to dwindle and get more expensive...
Like all things plant and garden related, each of us can adopt this state
of mind at whatever level we're capable of and comfortable with. Many of our
customers just want to start small and see what it's all about. After all, the
world of tropical plants can be more than just beautiful, it can be
sustaining as well!
Growing your own food is more than just about price, it's also about
quality, choices and availability. As you watch the choices, and quality of
store bought food go down and prices continue to go up, maybe it's time to grow
more of your own food?

... Gemini are very fond of plants, especially flowers. They are able to
devote their lives to favorite plants, selecting new varieties, planting
gardens, parks and arboretums.
In addition, the planet-ruler Mercury gives them with business ability -
Gemini are excellent flower merchants of any level: from flower growers who
sell their plants to everyone, to wholesalers who supply their delicate fragrant
goods around the world.
In their house, Gemini do not keep too many plants, they have enough of
those that grow outside in their nursery and garden. However, among those who
nevertheless became piece of the family (exactly this way Gemini perceive their
house plants), preference is given to graceful forms, pubescent and curly,
like Farfugium, Monstrous epyphyllum, often carved leaves (Monstera) and plants with
aroma. All these properties not only improve the physical well-being of Gemini,
but also helps save the spiritual and mental balance of their contradictory
but all while tender and romantic nature. Gemini don't care about common
spices, they love unusual plants and especially those with a sweet scent. Their
favorite aroma is rose and similar, like fragrances of Clerodendrums, Jasmines, Gardenias, Plumeria, and Brunfelsia. At critical moments sweet scents awaken them into the
life!..
...Taurus is the second astrological sign in the modern zodiac. This sign is associated with several myths
and bull worship from several ancient cultures. It was the first sign of the zodiac established among the Mesopotamians, who called it "The Great Bull of Heaven"...
Taurus, like other earthly signs, refers to plants in a peculiar way. This
is not to say that he does not love them, and how can he not love the grass that feeds him or trees in the shadow of which he rests during the
midday hours? Yes, he loves them. Well, just need someone else to grow all these
flowers and trees, someone else look after them, making sure that they are
always in good condition and would be apt to give Taurus full portion of
sensual pleasures!..
