artificial flowers

artificial flowers A like alpine flowers The term artificial flowers summarizes a family of decorative items that are reminiscent of real flowers or other plants in their appearance, but even have no natural character.

autumn flowers

autumn flowers A like alpine flowers The term autumn flowers summarizes all the flowers and plants that optimally come into their own in the months of August to November and, under these climatic conditions, enter the flowering phase in this country. Autumn flowers, as well as flowers for the other three seasons, are deliberately used to decorate one's own four walls in the months mentioned, or they are brought to bear precisely in these months if they are planted in time in the garden and field.

balcony flowers

balcony flowers B like botany Balcony flowers are the name given to a large number of low-growth plants, which can unfold optimally in flower boxes or small flowerpots, making them a good choice for all households that do not have a larger garden area. Basically, the term balcony flowers is somewhat misleading because not every plant species is equally suitable for all balconies. Above all, the orientation of the balcony is crucial and provides the framework conditions for the development of all plants, as, for example, a south-facing balcony with many hours of sunshine in the warm season is not tolerated by all plants. Common to all balcony flowers, however, is that they have a spatially very limited root system and also at the surface only a low growth and so in a limited space area such as a balcony can still come to full advantage. Similar to all other plants balcony flowers need the right treatment and care, whereby for this purpose numerous products of well-known manufacturers can be discovered on www.floristik21.de.

bellflowers

bellflowers B like botany The name bellflowers sums up a large number of flowers around the globe, which share the striking flower form. This is similar to a cast bell, so spreads from the flower stem strongly and also tends in most species of this genus down, making the visual impression of a bell shape is perfect. In order for the bell of a bellflower to continue to be easily accessible to insects and thus does not stand in the way of simple pollination of the flower, many pollen pistils stand out far beyond this, and most species have a wide open body of their bell-shaped flowers. Even though bluebells can be found around the globe, a large part of these plants with their striking flower form is located in mountain regions. A biological or genetic relationship of all bellflowers is not present, so that the shape of the flower is only a criterion that summarizes botanically partially completely different plants under the name bellflowers.

blossom

blossom B like botany The term flower describes both a specific part of flowers and other plants as well as a period in which this part of the plant unfolds and presents itself in all its glory. The flowering of all flowers and many other plants represents the conclusion of the individual stems or branches and serves primarily the reproduction of the respective plant. In the interior of a flower is the so-called stamp on many flowers, which has the pollen and thus the genetic material of the corresponding plant. For propagation, the flower relies on insects to penetrate the interior of the flower and take some of the pollen with it when refueling the nectar. Other flowers and plant species have evolved more sophisticated reproductive mechanisms and separate, for example, after flowering from their withered petals, which sometimes take on a completely different shape and are then carried away by the wind or simply fall to the ground. All flowers, which rely on the help of insects in their multiplication, try to lure them with a colorful play of colors of the individual flowers, which in the eyes of many people contributes to the aesthetic appearance of the individual flower species. In the case of different plants, the basic form of the individual flowers can be recognized and regarded as aesthetic even if the actual flower has not yet taken place. Conversely, numerous plants develop a flower, even if it is rather inconspicuous and irrelevant in the field of floristry.

brush flowers

brush flowers B like botany Brush flowers refer to different types of plants and flowers that are distinguished by the particular shape of their flowers and whose shape attracts mainly larger insects and butterflies for pollination. Brush flowers, also known in some regions of Germany as brush flowers, are characterized by the elongated form of their stamens, which grow up like little brushes from the center of the flower. The name is established both for flowers with only one inflorescence as in specimens with many single flowers. In addition to the elongated stamens, the pistil of the flower are longer than many other species, so that they stand outright from the calyx or in the absence of a calyx, at least a greater distance from the stalk of the plant possess. The distinctive shape not only attracts many insects through its distinctive shape, but also the transfer of the pollen through the brushes in a practical and simple way. Well-known brush flowers, which thrive in Germany and Central Europe, are the ribwort plantain, the wicker and the meadowknight.

daffodil

daffodil D like deco flowers The daffodil is a common in Germany and Central Europe spring flower, which is botanically a daffodil.

The daffodil is highly poisonous and although this property is not a feature of the plant kingdom, it has more than any other flowering plant with its great popularity about this property. Osterglocken can be up to 40 centimeters in size and are planted in this country with preference as hybrid plants, which not only sprout earlier from the ground, but also can withstand the cold outdoor conditions even better. The trade in daffodils is now widely practiced and is on the order of magnitude of tulips or roses, with the yellow daffodil dominating the flower trade in spring more than other flowers. Just a few decades ago, the daffodil was used as a medicinal plant to work as an emetic or to relieve colds. However, according to current research, this function should better be avoided, as the toxic effect of the plant is already too strong even at moderate doses.

daffodil

daffodil D like deco flowers The narcissus represents a separate genus in botany and is native to the natural environment on the Iberian Peninsula and in North Africa. Single species of daffodils thrive excellently in Central Europe, the most famous representative is the daffodil, which has been considered for decades in this country as one of the main harbinger of spring. From this, the popularity of the plant in the late winter months and early spring weeks, in which the daffodil and other narcissus significantly characterizes the flower trade. As the German name of the most popular narcissus species suggests, daffodils form large, down-hanging flowers in a striking bell shape, which, however, only bloom once a year and then multiply via the onion stored in the soil. The scientific name Daffodil derives from the ancient Greek word for "numb" and refers to individual narcissus species that emit an unpleasant, pungent odor. Such daffodils, however, are not found in the modern flower trade, with the biodiversity of the narcissus ensures that it can be planted in numerous environments and unfolds its flowers in each new spring.

Since different discounts have to fulfill aesthetically different tasks, in private planters usually other flowers are found than in public parks.
