What would it be like to have a garden with flora highly perfumed for flowers? I can almost see smiling faces and nodding heads of those who already have magnolia plants on their gardens.

Yes, magnolia flowers are very fragrant that you don’t need air fresheners any more as you can smell them from a distance. Would you like to have natural air freshener in your own homes? Well if you do, let us find out what could be done, but first let’s familiarize with the plant.

Magnolias are considered to be one of the most primitive of all flowering plants, which have a group of over a hundred species of trees and large shrubs in the subfamily of Magnolioodeae of the family Magnoiaceae.

Magnolia flowers have typically showy, well scented that come in shades of white, pink, green, yellow, or purple. But did you know magnolia flowers are neither pollinated by bees or butterflies?

Hmm, if that is the case then what does? Actually, it is the beetles that typically pollinate magnolia flowers.

Interestingly, magnolia flowers do not produce nectar, although they generate large amount of pollen. Due to the abundance of pollen, beetles are having a good time consuming them for food.

A huge class that consists of more than 200 species belonging in the Malvaceae family, Hibiscus flower is native to warm climate as well as to tropical regions.

It includes herbaceous plants that are both annual and perennial even woody shrubs and small trees.

With simple leaves that are ovate to lanceolate, it is often with a margin shaped in either lobed or toothed. Conspicuous yet trumpet- like blossoms, it has five petals that range from yellow, purple, white, pink or red.

The fruit is a capsule that contains several seeds that are released when it splits open at maturity.

Hibiscus flower is mostly found in the front lawn because of its natural beauty that anybody would want to show.

Also called as “Rose of Sharon”, it is the national flora of South Korea as well as in Malaysia with a native name of “Bunga Raya.”

In Hawaii, it is known as “Ma’o Hau Hele.” The “Syriacus” is the most of its kind which is also referred to as “Rose of Althea” while “Sinensis” is a showy hybrid and wholly popular.

An American song, Wildwood Flower, best known through the performances by the Carter family, bears the original title of “I’ll Twine ‘Mid The Ringlets.”

It was said the song was written in 1860 with words credited to Maud Irving while Joseph Philbrick Webster being responsible for the music.

The tune was utilized by Woody Guthrie, a folk artist strongly noted for his identification with the ordinary man, for the verses of his track “The Sinking of the Reuben James.”

Before Wildwood Flower made noise in the airwaves, it was originally intended for parlor games. However, it went through some minor twists especially when the Carter family recorded it.

They were a group centered on country genre that made a large impact in the 1960’s. It consisted of Alvin Pleasant Delaney Carter together with his wife, Sara Dougherty Carter who performed with either her autoharp or guitar.

There was also Maybelle Addington Carter on guitar as well who was married to Ezra Carter, the brother of Alvin Pleasant. All of them were born and raised in the southwestern coast of Virginia. It was there that they were introduced to rigid harmonies of mountain gospel.

So you are finally done arranging everything for your wedding – from what flowers to choose to catering services. Now, you’re down to the question: Where can you find sources of flowers in your locality?

You have many options. You can try the farmer’s market for instance. In the summer season, many cities open farmer’s markets where fresh flowers are sold in large quantities.

A large selection of flowers are put in display and all you have to do is check the prices and then you’ll be on your way to getting the flowers that you want. Just one obvious disadvantage, however, is that farmer’s market are seasonal.

So if you have decided on an early spring or late autumn wedding, you are not likely going to find any farmer’s market open to selling you fresh flowers.

Another good source of wedding flowers is your local grocery store. Many grocer’s markets have their own floral department with a good selection of flowers, whether fresh, bouquets, or artificial ones like those made of silk that look very realistic.

When you speak about tropical countries, there is no doubt that they are rich in flora life. The weather explains; there is equal distribution of sunshine needed by chlorophyll for photosynthesis as well as rainfall that is important for vegetation to survive.

Where trees are abundant, flooding would not be a problem because rain will be seep through and be absorbed by the tree roots. Asia may not be highly industrialized compared to America and Europe, but it is rich in natural resources.

Without the winter season, the more flowering plants thrive in most of Asia. With at least 20, 000 flower species in Malaysia, flowers can be easily spotted in the soils of Sabah and Sarawak.

Such flowers are Touch Me Not, Yellow Allamanda, Bachelors Button, Rafflesia, Hibiscus, Ixora, Bougainvillea, Orchid, Fuchsia, Angsana, Frangipani, Lantana, Saga, Rhododendrons, Chrysanthemum, Violet Rose, Lobster Claws and Bird Of Paradise.

Touch Me Not is a Malaysian flower that is a thorny undershrub where stems are bristly. Native of Southern America, it is known to be a nuisance as a troublesome very thorny weed.

Since they flourish after the sunset, they are not pollinated by insects such as bees and butterflies as compared to others. It is only the moths that fertilize them which is another aspect unique to them that makes it doubly interesting.

A family- owned nursery taking its domicile at Litchfield in Connecticut, White Flower Farm has been established since 1950 that offers a vast array of annuals, bulbs, perennials, shrubs and vines. They have been providing high- grade quality plants to florists and gardeners all throughout the United States.

Aside from growing their own right in their estate, they also import from other countries such as the tulips from Holland. They also remain actively connected in the development of The Litchfield Hills Greenprint, a long- term conservation plan in the state.

Working hand in hand with the Trust for Public Land and the Housatonic Valley Association, they expect to complete the mapping process that is already satellite- based.

White Flower Farm is credited to the Harris couple, William and Jane. It was in the 1930’s that they made a house out of a small barn, right where the current headquarters is situated. Both of them were writers, William for Fortune Magazine and Jane for The New York Times.

They envisioned having a “little place in the country” where they could bring their work as well as when having a vacation. It did not take long for them to realize that it was a major difficulty for them to continue their then present careers at Litchfield in Connecticut.
