We can easily trace the fragility and beauty of life through flowers. They
evoke and share the feelings of love, health, trust, age and the fleeting
fragments of time. Flowers and people and flowers - they have been identified
with each other through life's greatest and darkest moments.
Over time, flowers have gained much importance in our daily lives and it has
become part of our daily lives and we use them for all purposes such as to
express something to someone, to greet, to congratulate, to welcome and most
importantly for rituals and weddings. We even place them on graves to pay our
respects
Gardening of flowers has become an important aspect of our lives. A small
garden filled with various kinds of flowers in front of our house is a delight
to everyone. Everyone admires and even dream of such a house. If we have a
special love for any flower then we can make it an everlasting beauty of our
garden with innovative cultivation and enjoy the beauty of the flower of our
choice even though the climate and other conditions are not quite favorable. But
then if we want to divide the flowers on the basis of their life cycle then
there will be three divisions, namely, annuals, biennials, and perennials though
we can certainly go out of our way and plant flowers according to our
choice.
Annual flowers complete their life cycle in one season so it is easily
changeable and it also gives a bright color to our garden. These flowers are
quite comfortable in the summer season and they are sun-lovers. Some names of
flowers that can be grown in March and April - ageratum, aster, balsam, celosia,
cone flower, cosmos, crotalaria, cypress vine, dahlia, floss flower, globe
amaranth, gourds, marigolds, morning glory, nasturtium, petunias, rose-moss,
salvia, sunflower, torenia and zinnia. There are also bright shade loving
flowers like impatiens and bedding begonias.
Biennial flower plant
Flowers grow more during the fall and spring. The life cycle of biennial
plants begins during the fall continues all through the winter season and ends
at spring. During the fall the biennial plants produce only leaves. Then the
winter period passes and they bloom in the spring, produce seeds, and then die.
Some popular biennial plants include foxglove, hollyhock, stocks, and sweet
williams. The only disadvantage of biennial flowers is that it produces too much
of leaves.
Perennials are considered to be ornamental plants that do not die after one
season of growth. This does not mean they live forever. In fact many perennials
are considered to be short-lived, lasting only 2-3 years. Rose campion is a
short lived perennial, but because it self-seeds so readily, it appears to live
much longer. Some important perennials are; Pink Astilbe, Blue Pincushion
Flower, Blue Perennial Sage, Purple Coralbells, Threadleaf Tickseed, Russian
Sage, Blue Speedwell
Purple Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susan and Purple-Leaved
Beard-Tongue.
