Flower Garden
There is nothing more beautiful than a flower garden in full bloom. Elizabeth Murray once said: "Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas." Nothing could be truer of a flower garden-it is an act of love and creativity equaling the best. Take for example the daffodil. Its petals glow with translucence when the sun strikes your flower garden at just the right angle-exuding a yellow impossible to attain otherwise. Alone, colors are pure and refreshing; together in the right combination, they become art-a flower garden can be as varied as you want it to be. Combine, for example, oriental lilies with anthuriums and a smidgen of chrysanthemums-this part of your flower garden will yield a gradient of undeniable beauty.
More subtly colored flowers also make for an interesting flower garden: bring the innocent simplicity of lilacs together with the restrained pink of the cymbidium orchid, and pepper the whole with Queen Anne's lace. Your flower garden will entice without overpowering. Classic flowers such as the tulip, the rose, and the sunflower add a familiar element to any flower garden-these flowers are recognizable symbols of purity and love wherever you go. Watch your flowers turn towards the sun like a crowd of people observing a blimp to truly understand the secret life that exists under the unassuming surface of a flower garden. If you want a bolder approach, try to include the king protea as your centerpiece-its crown-like petals are a beautiful centralizing force able to grace any flower garden with its powers. No matter what color combinations you go for, remember this: your gardening hands are your paintbrush, the garden your canvas.
