			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a different allure that can only come with a flowering plant. Flowering plants have always been treasured by people because it brings just so many rewards. The most obvious of which is the beauty of it when it exploded into an overload of color and texture. It is also a good source of the scent that is simply to be loved. Moreover, the flowers often leads to fruit contains seeds that turn into plants and repeat the whole process again.</p>
<p>A flowering plant is nice and all but what romanticists seem to always forget a few details and that includes the hard work involved with getting a beautiful blooming flower to thrive in the garden. It involves a lot of planning, irrigation, watering, fertilizing and many things that would eventually lead to the blooming of prize winning flowers.</p>
<p>The first thing you will need before you can even begin thinking about your prized blooms is the flowers itself. You would need to determine which flowers suit your area the best. One of the easiest ways to determine which flowers work well in your area is by using local flora in your garden. Indigenous plants have existed for years relative to the area where it grows and, as such, have learned to cope with the weather and quality of soil through a long and hard evolutionary process.</p>
<p>You can also introduce foreign plants to your garden. This, however, requires more planning and better understanding of the foreign shrub. Ask your local garden shop owner and find out your place. The flowering plant also needs a lot of nutrients to grow. Each plant has special needs but in general they need a lot of it.</p>
<p>The flowers serve as a plant&#8217;s reproductive organ and it requires a lot of resources to do its job properly. On of the things it needs lots of is water. Before the flowers even bloom out of the plant it needs to get a lot of water to facilitate the plant&#8217;s ability to create it. </p>
<p>On the other end, the plant also needs to get a great deal of sunlight. In the process of photosynthesis, sugar is created and in turn it is used to create the flowers. It is important to put flowering plants into direct sun before the flowers come out, however it is equally important that it be removed from the contact of the sun when the flower comes out.</p>
<p>The plant also needs to have the three components of the plant&#8217;s food to be successful, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Choose a fertilizer that has high amounts of phosphates because these flowers require a large amount of this chemical to grow strong. Do not use fertilizers that are too rich in nitrates. It will overload the plant and cause it to wilt.</p>
<p>Finally, one important resource that you can give your flowering plants can not be purchased at any store or gardening store special. This is love, and your plants will feel it if it is freely given. Love your plants and it will pay you for the beautiful flowers in your garden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One unique idea of bringing Mother Nature into your home by way of a drink coaster is by picking some flowers in your garden and drying them to use for your project. It won&#8217;t cost you any money and you can have a wide variety of coasters to use for different occasions. They will also make the perfect gift to give to your family and friends. Since flowers can take as long as three weeks to dry, you can pick a selection of them and then choose the ones you want to use for making the coasters.</p>
<p>You will need to have a thick book in which you press the flowers you are going to use for each drink coaster. Use tissue paper for spreading the flowers on, but don&#8217;t let the flowers touch each other. Cover the flowers with more tissue, newspaper and cardboard that you have cut in the same size as that of the book you intend to use. Lay the book on top of the flowers and let sit for two or three weeks. If you don&#8217;t grow your own flowers you can bypass this step in by purchasing dried flowers at a craft store or by purchasing flowers from a garden center that you can dry.</p>
<p>Once the flowers are dry, you are ready to proceed to the next step of making your own beverage coasters. You do need to purchase panes of glass that measure 4 inches by 4 inches because this is the standard size of a drink coaster. You will also need to have clear glue and heavy aluminum foil tape. Use regular glass cleaner to clean the panes of glass and the edges. Arrange the flowers in whatever way you wish and lay them on one pane of glass and cover the flowers with another. Apply the glue to all four edges of the coaster.</p>
<p>Take strips of the aluminum foil tape and carefully apply this along the glued edges. Make sure you cover the four edges of the drink coaster and cut off any extra edges to give you a smooth finish. When the glue dries, you can remove the tape to have glorious dried flower coasters. The glass will not harm your furniture unless you drop it, in which case it will shatter. You can leave the coaster as it is so that either side can be placed under a glass or you can apply a cork or rubber backing to one of the sides as a way of protecting the surface of the table. In any case, you will have coasters that guests will admire and ask you where you managed to find such masterpieces. No doubt you will have plenty of orders to fill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flowering plants have grown on every continent on earth. These plants make up nearly ninety percent of the plant kingdom. The total number of unique species is over 230,000, and many species in the tropics have not even been named yet. Over the past one hundred and thirty million years, flowering plants have grown in nearly every habitat to be found on earth, from mountain meadows to dense forests, from freshwater marshes to fertile grasslands, and from alpine summits to sun-baked deserts. Some of these plants even live underwater, and have adapted to salt water.</p>
<p>Seagrasses are the hardy plants that can live at the edge of the sea and even underwater. They include nearly fifty species. Almost all flowering plants produce a flower or bud of some type, even though in some families, the flowers cannot be seen by the naked eye. Some cultivars and grasses don&#8217;t appear to produce flowers even though they have vestigial flowers.</p>
<p>The three most populous families of flowering plants contain the highest number of species. The legume family, the orchid family and the sunflower family are the three with the most species within them. Heads of flowers within the sunflower family come in sizes that extend from very small to very large. And orchids come in many different colors, sizes and shapes.</p>
<p>Some of the largest categories of the nonwoody flowering plants include asters, geraniums and orchids. On the other end of the species, the members of the largest woody plant groups include acacia, passion fruit and figs. All of these have members of their families that number in the hundreds or thousands.</p>
<p>All of the many thousands of flowering plant types were given scientific names by the botanists who discovered them. Scientific names are often brought down from Latin or Greek languages, and they are spelled with the letters of the Roman alphabet, regardless of where they are found. Plants of the flowering variety also have common names, as well, usually describing an aspect of their shape, or a person who helped discover them, or words that describe where they are grown. But sometimes the common names seem to have no meaning at all.</p>
