In winter, flowers for us no less valid than in summer, because we do not have enough bright colors! So many go against all logic in flower shops and buy your home or a gift of a new green friend a friend. If you really very impatient and wants "a piece of summer" in the middle of winter, take care of transportation purchased the plant in view of the cold weather. In the shop you are unlikely to be offered "hardy" package. Take care of it yourself. For example, the type of old newspapers or sheets of paper on which you can wrap your purchase.

Even if the plant will carry only the store to the car and the car to the entrance, it may be enough to plant if not killed, it fundamentally lost its visual appeal. If you have to be "resident in the tropics," well, not too lazy to stock up on the box, but better – two different sizes, insert one into another, but gap between them for stability, as well as between the inner frame and a plant for heat, lay the newspaper. In such a "thermos" the plant will remain better. Of course, we need more and cover. And, importantly, before you put into this design plant, it must be kept warm. It should say also about the content of plants at home.

Orchids – The Most Erotic Flowers

George — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:14:19 +0000

New research scientists have found that the orchids use sexual trickery to lure insect pollinators. This contributes to more efficient pollination of flowers. Most flowering plants are rewarded insect pollinators delicious nectar for their work, and some species of orchids, followed the path of deception. They use so-called "food-deception." These plants produce flowers that look and smell very tempting, but it not really able to bestow upon insects edible reward. Other orchids use a form of "sexual deception." They produce flowers that look and smell like female insects, usually bees or wasps. Males are attracted to sexual flowers and trying to mate with them. In doing so they inevitably collect pollen on their body, which is transferred to the next plant visited an orchid.

From the perspective of evolutionary processes, sexual strategies this case has a strange expression. Orchids, which offer a simulation of nutrient nectar can attract a large number of pollinators – bees, wasps, flies, ants and so on. But sexual enticement strategy may to attract males of only one species – flower, similar to the female wasps to attract only the male wasps, but do not attract other insects. Thus, these orchids restrict their ability to pollination. However, despite the apparent lack of sexual deception strategy, this strategy has allowed to develop a wide variety of orchids.

Hence, there is still some selective advantage in this strategy, and research is confirm. Scientists have measured the amount of pollen produced by orchids, comparing it to the amount of pollen produced by other colors. It was found that the orchids, using tactics of "sexual deception" effective deliver the pollen to other flowers, the flowers with many species of pollinators. In other words, these pollinators deliver pollen on a more precise address. Flowers same with a few pollinators are losing part of pollen transfer by insects a result of her fall to the ground, either by delivering the wrong type of pollen a plant. Thus, it appears that the strategy of using one type of pollinator is more effective at expense of smaller losses transportation of pollen from plant to plant. Thus, the strategy of imitation flowers orchid sex gives the best results!

Nectar In Flowers Flowers

George — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 14:14:22 +0000

One of the highlights of the flowers, is the production of nectar, which is the basis for the subsequent liquid honey production by bees, which in turn is one of the best complements many foods and beverages consumed daily. Nectar is an aqueous solution, which can be more or less concentrated in components such as sugars, amino acids, ions, minerals and various flavorings. As mentioned earlier, the nectar is a product of a lot of flowers that the nectar applied as a useful element in order to attract different types of insects and animals, which are the ideal medium for pollination, ie for transport of pollen from one flower to another. So both the flower as insects and animals will receive a reward from nectar. The production of nectar from the flowers, thanks to the action of different glands, which lie at the base of the stamens or petals, which are the name of nectaries.

The nectaries in many cases are placed in a spurs or bags on the base of the corolla of the flowers. With this in mind, the location of the nectar inside the flower, makes those who wish to have this friendly liquid must touch the stamens of the flower, so their bodies were doused in pollen to other flowers to go in search of more nectar, pollination undertake to pass through the stigma, since some of the pollen grains remain deposited. The nectar from flowers, by its nature, is one of the main food energy from a large number of animals and insects, as with the hummingbird, different types of butterflies, bees, wasps and some flies, among other insects . Of all those who come to the flowers for nectar, the bees are stressed, as these make use of nectar as a feedstock for the production of honey. The honey nectar to become, you must first be collected by bees, which shipped them to the hives, and at this point, combine the nectar with the enzyme invertase, which contains the saliva of bees. After the combination of nectar with the bees' saliva, is passed to the storage of the mixture on the panels, to make the mixture containing nectar to mature and give way to the formation of honey. We should add that honey, before becoming so, was consumed by the bees, so the honey would be a secretion of these. Something interesting in the nectar, is that as there is a continuous extraction of the secretion of flowers, the flower produces an increase in the total volume of nectar produced, while the amount of total sugars in the nectar does not show a variation significant.

Oh, and just hit a female. I always wonder where women are taught to think that men can guess about that for women is important? Well, do not guess it, do not guess. Well, he does not understand their own, which is important for a woman to "broom", unfit even for sweeping the floor, which she calls a bouquet of flowers. If you are, of course, say man, that the flowers are very important to you, then gradually he begins to give them. According to the observations of my wife, it takes about 714 repetitions to a man remembered something and started to do what he wants from his woman. Again, if you need it it regularly, persistently, but at the same calm voice, without shouting, tantrums and manipulation. Do not think that men do not understand why there are women whose husbands are in their hands, they say, wear, and there are those that are well anything from a normal man can not achieve. Start respecting yourself and your needs, then we can achieve from their performance.

Of the most common things that man "should have guessed," but does not know: – he must guess to give a woman flowers – guess marry her – to speak and care for her after he got it – at home to help her duties – to protect from his parents – more than watch your hygiene, cleanliness in the house, etc. In general, demand all this from us, feel free. Talk about it, ask for calm and confident, but when a man realizes that important to you, he will do it with pleasure.

For example, Russia has been simmering between the information war childfree and supporters of the birth of children, conducted mainly in the spaces you'll ever need – in blogs and forums.

As it turned out, active position of freedom from the children occupied mainly by women. Few men and they are less active. So, we have a woman aged 20 to 30 years, with higher education and diverse interests, which states that does not feel the need for child birth. The main reasons – reluctance to interrupt his career, to give up leisure and personal growth, the fear that pregnancy and birth irreversibly affect the exterior, the relationship with a partner and so on.
