Reply:Sampaguita
Reply:i would say it%26#039;s waling waling, even if it is not the national flower (it is the sampaguita.)


waling waling is highly identified with the Philippines, being indigenous to the famed Mt. Apo in Mindanao.
Reply:I must say it%26#039;s sampaguita - the little white and fragrant flower.
Reply:sampaguita.
Reply:sampaguita but it should be waling-waling (an orchid that can be found only at Mount Apo, the tallest mountain in the Philippines)





Another fact that Philippines and Indonesia have the same national flower. ^_^
Reply:Sampaguita which they call it Jasmine.
Reply:it is CHICHARON BULAKLAK, the National heart-stopper.
Reply:Chicharong Bulaklak?......... Sampaguita pala!
Reply:The SAMPAGUITA which is a sign of purity and is also known as the jasmine(scientifically known as jasminum sambac)

Reply:The Sampaguita, a white sweet smelling flower is what is identified with the Philippines. It is the Philippines National Flower.





Before, the WALING WALING, a variety of orchids was also identified with the Philippines. However, now the WALING WALING has been bred and cultured in other parts of South East Asia, specially in Singapore.affiliate

Gift for parents of the ring bearer and flower girls?

I was just wondering if I should give a gift to the parents of the child attendants in my wedding? The parents of the ring bearer are in the wedding, so they will already be getting gifts from us, but my flowers girls%26#039; parents are not... should I get them a gift to thank them for letting the girls be in the wedding? I didn%26#039;t know if this was proper or not.
Gift for parents of the ring bearer and flower girls?
I was given a framed photograph by the bridal couple of my son and the two of them, when he was the ring bearer in their wedding, his father was a groomsman, he received a gift, but of course I was not expecting a gift. I was not in the wedding. It is a lovely gesture, but no, you are not obligated to give the parents of the flower girl a gift.

what about a silver bracelet with a heart and their names or intial engraved. and with wedding date/names...
Reply:The parents of the Flower Girl(s) are not members of your wedding party so there is no need to buy them a gift.

What flower do you find interesting?

I like Livingstone Daisey%26#039;s. When the sun is out the open up and then when the sun goes down they close.
What flower do you find interesting?
Of any flower, almost any orchid; although, I%26#039;m not very good at growing them.





Of the plants I have successfully grown -- a like Dragon%26#039;s Arum. It%26#039;s a large, dark bloom unlike anything else I%26#039;ve seen in the area. The entire plant is 2-3%26#039; tall and the bloom itself reaches between 9-12%26quot; and lasts for a couple of weeks.

Reply:i also like your Daisy%26#039;s too
Reply:I find orchids very interesting and beautiful to look at, just like you Deb.
Reply:I like the parrot flower. It is amazing and absolutely one of Gods greatest gifts of beauty.
Reply:My favourite’s are Stargazer lilies - they smell gorgeous


I also love Orchids (especially Pansy Orchids) they look lovely and tropical and last a long time
Reply:Hi,i like your daisy too,but the passion flower is so unusual in its form, and the story it tells is unique i think ,in as much as no other flower i can think of has this %26quot;hallmark%26quot;,so though the lily of the valley is my favourite,,with its lovely scent and its delicate pure white bells along the stem, cradled in wide lush dark green leaves.the passionflower comes a very close second.
Reply:I like most flowers and plants. The one I find most interesting is the bleeding heart. I think it%26#039;s a bush but they do look exactly like little bleeding hearts it%26#039;s quite amazing. Another good one is fried egg flowers (it might just be called egg flower I%26#039;m not sure) but it looks just like a stem with a fried egg on the top it%26#039;s really cool!
Reply:I think flowers are the most beautiful things on the planet!





I am dying to visit the corpse flower at Kew Gardens..it only opens once in a few years and it is said to be quite smelly! That%26#039;s exactly what I want to know...just how smelly!
Reply:I don%26#039;t know about interesting, but my favorite annuals are dahliettas. For perennials, definitely peonies and asiatic lilies.
Reply:Periwinkle lovely colour.
Reply:all of them I love flowers and plants
Reply:Guess..........................

Why do I like Bluebells..........because they are blue!
Reply:RED ROSE is Beautiful, Ultimate Attractive and most Interseting than any other Flower
Reply:Moon Flower!!! (White Datura)


Love them!





If you have ever experienced a moon flower opening up at dusk and the sweet smell erupts as the flower expands in front of your eyes....it is the most awesome display. When fully open it can up to 8 inches across and literally glows in the moonlight. Your whole yard has sweet perfume smell.


My aunt gave me a couple seeds a couple years ago and I have been captivated my them ever since.


Warning....seeds and plants are highly poisonous. If you have small kids or pets do not grow or keep in fenced area.

Reply:Those daisy%26#039;s and other flowers that open the same way are amazing. Another flower that i find interesting is nick named Elephant Ears. I don%26#039;t know the true name. They are big floppy leaves that look so much like Elephants ears.acting resources

My flower horn always stays at the bottom with head downward. not so active. is it sick? wat's are posb. cure

Maybe because nitrogen accumulation or fin and hole in the head disease you can buy antiseptic medicine from aquarium shop nearby your house.I have 5 flower horn fish also.I used to feed them with tablet food (the food brand is SUPER RED) and their body colouration are very beautiful with a large head bump.I would suggest you feeding the fish with dry food as it is more save to the fish health.And also try to change the water twice a month for the best outcome.Try it and if the fish still not well try to bring the fish to aquarium shop for further treatment.
Reply:Its normal for a flowerhorn to sometimes stay like that and it has nothing yet to do with any disease, hole in the head is something the other answerer has no idea about, but follow these points very carefully and nothing will go wrong with your fish..





1. Keep an airstone in the tank.


2. DO NOT overfeed the fish, feed it twice a day


3. Keep water temperature between 26-28 degee C, thats the best temp for flowers..


4. DO NOT feed live fish, even quarentined ones will carry disease


5. Try to use a external filter rather than an internal one, if your budget permits.


6. Do 25% water change every week
Reply:you shouldnt go 3 weeks without a water change.


do around 25% a week, see if that helps.genealogy mormon

Gardenia


Gentian


Geranium


Gerardia


Germander


Gill-over-the-ground

Gladiolus

There are numerous others that I%26#039;m missing.





The thing is, common names for flowers differ among different countries and sometimes even in different local regions. That is why its handy to know the genus and species and refer to flowers that way instead. One person%26#039;s %26quot;mayapple%26quot; is completely different than another%26#039;s in a different region. And %26quot;Gill-over-the-ground%26quot; in a different region is called %26quot;Creeping Charlie%26quot; or %26quot;Ground Ivy%26quot;.
