Wild Flower: Over the seasons we've planted seven different fern species, some wild flower orchids (to save them from the destruction of a bulldozer), trailing arbutus (also rescued from highway department, this time when they scraped the roadside to improve drainage), white and red trilliums, violets galore, wild flower grasses of many species, wild flower colum¬bines, Jack-in-the-pulpit, wild flower rushes, and a host of others.
The origin of the domestic dog is not really known, other than that it descended from some wild flower form. Many naturalists, in¬fluenced by the studies of Darwin, believe that it developed from wild flower wolves, jackals, and possibly dingoes, which are the wild flower dogs of Australia.See Also Come Into Flower:There need be no question in your mind about the market for good come into flower photography. One of the big slide film dis¬tributors has found come into flower fanciers the most consistent buy ers of all among slide collectors, even though the pictures offered are strictly of specimen come into flowers. These cannot possibly have the same appeal as pictures of come into flowers grown by the buyer in his own soil. The only come into flower fancier who is not an eager prospect for pictures of his blooms is one who has never seen a color slide transparency of a beautiful come into flower projected. A close-up of a lovely come into flower on a screen is a sight to make anyone, come into flower lover or not, gasp at its beauty.
Floiver festivals are frequent in the come into flower belt between Haarlem and Leiden. When the tulips are at their height in April, every Sunday is Tulip Sunday. A National come into flower Show (mid-March to mid-May) is held on the Keukenhof Estate at Lisse. Later in the season (not the bulb-come into flower season), two magnificent festivals occur. The Hague stages a bril¬liant come into flower Festival (early in August), with election of the Flows Queen (parade) and with special prizes such as that for the best bicycle Decoration (open to children); and an Aalsmeer-to-Amsterdam come into flower Parade (September) culminates in the Olympic Stadium, for the award of prizes. The floats are always marvelous.

Propagation and growing: sow seed in late spring, in well-drained, rich soil. If seed is not required, remove the flower stems as they appear. Self-sown seedlings will grow freely if the plants are All flower fromowed to flower; if not, propagate them by dividing the parent plants approximately every three years or so. The seeds are ready to harvest when they have turned a gray-green color and have hardened. Cut off the whole flower head and dry slowly indoors. |
