Liatris

The blooms are the part of the Compositae family having such common relatives as chrysanthemums, cornflowers, asters and zinnias. The flower look likes a bottlebrush. Its leaves come in dark green and grass- like colors borne on the woody stems. Unlike the majority of plants, opening from the bottom to the top of the spike, liatris’ blooms open and mature from the top of the stem downward. The flower’s meaning is “I will  try again.”

This attractive and uncommon flower is available at any season of the year. Liatris come in a vast range of colors and shades of purple, lavender, pink, rose, white, bluish and violet.

 The cut blooms enjoy the vase life for 14 days with proper care and handling.
Liatris is frequently used in modern floral designs being beautiful additions to them. The flower dries very well and may be used in dried floral arrangements as well. Is suitable for drying but a sealant should be used.

flower arrangement

1) Remember to clean all leaves and thorns off the flowers that will fall below the water line.

2) Measure flowers against the teapot and cut the ends with a sharp clippers or knife at an angle.

3) Cut the stems so that the blooms of the flowers sit just above the neck of the container. With a teapot, the opening is not as wide as a typical vase, so be careful not to overcrowd the flowers.

 

4) Place the rose bunch in the teapot first, then tuck in mint and jasmine. You can use one hand to scoot the roses to the side and the other to tuck in the groupings of other flowers.

4 Sleep tricks for amazing skin

1. Sleep On Your Back

Lying on your stomach or on the same side every night can etch permanent sleep lines into your skin, says Patricia Farris, MD. If you can't adjust, switch to a satin pillowcase; the silky texture prevents crinkles.

2. Raise Your Head

Stack a few pillows beneath your head to avoid puffy eyes. "If you keep your head above your heart, fluid won't accumulate in your face," says Farris.

3. Invest In A Humidifier

Dry, hot air sucks moisture from skin. A humidifier puts water in the air, for soft and supple skin.

4. Get Deeper Slumber

Use the bedroom for sleep and sex only — doing so trains your mind to associate your bed with getting Zzzs. Avoid caffeine and exercise for 3 to 5 hours before bedtime, and limit alcohol at night; each can keep you from solid slumber. Make sure your room is dark and cool (the ideal temp for sleep is 65°F). To transition into sleep mode, don't watch TV or go online for an hour before turning in.

There is only my own

You, in my world do not exist!

       Because you no longer belongs to me!

       World without you, I can happily live. Owning my own with my dear friend, with my

pro-family, to let me have the courage to accept the reality, find themselves. To care about

my friends, to love my family, for themselves, I want your happy day.

        Time changes everything! Past is past, it is now, I have not as silly as before, and

learned optimism, learned a strong, learn to cherish, learn to pleasure ... ...

       There is only myself, not alone, not sad. As have all of you! Finally put down, how

relaxed I felt it.

Life is Elsewhere

Where is my soul to rest in it?

Down a main street, through a tower, in addition to downtown, only noise.

How many bridges in this city? Each under a flyover, vehicles as swiftly: Chung as floods go, the speakers sound loud now, I have to hear the sound insensitive, but heart and ran with this flood, no matter where, until I tired of falling from the sky.

Fall silently, no bottom.

Where is my soul to rest in it?

By Street, was tall, was on earth the soul of Squeeze was no place to hide, so shout themselves hoarse shouting.

Perhaps life is just to an unknown destination. Go, where to rest.

Life elsewhere.

Rushing. Search. Non-stop pace.

Leave time and time again, again and again to return. Cycle.

Hope to go far, looking forward to go further

Is a kind of spiritual sustenance it?
