Valentine Day Plants
Posted in Valentines Day | No Comments »Valentine's Day is traditionally a day that celebrates love, particularly that of the courtesan class, romantic and erotic. What is the gift ideal? It is a question that ultimately only the donor and recipient can answer for themselves, but certainly a few suggestions, but first a Some History Valentine's Day.
The origins of Valentine's Day is not entirely clear. There is a strong link with the Roman festival of Lupercalia, which held on the Ides of February and dedicated to the god of fertility, Faun. Valentino was apparently a Christian priest childhood, during the reign of Claudius II conducted in secret marriages for young people at a time when the emperor had forbidden the sacrament. Valentino has been executed, became a martyr and, possibly, a saint.
The decision to hold day of the saint on February 14 could be an attempt to "Christianize" the festival People Lupercalia, although many vestiges of original pagan customs remain. The first valentine was a poem composed by the Duke of Orleans in 1415 when he was imprisoned in the Tower of London after Battle of Agincourt. Meanwhile, the English king who put him there - Henry V - has hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a Valentine message to his future queen, Catherine of Valois. The custom of exchanging affectionate notes grew in the next half millennium, and remains one of the most popular phrases today in Saint-Valentin.
Most gifts Popular on cards the Valentine's day, sweets and flowers. By course, the tradition of exchanging cards is very old, as we have seen - But while this call to heart, erotic love is always a lot of sense. Since its introduction in the West (outside the culture of Mesoamerica was not known until the late 16th century), chocolate in all its forms has become the most popular sweet in the world. Not only tastes great, the substance contains chemical compounds that act on the brain so that releases endorphins - the same chemicals that emerge through our bodies when we fall. No wonder gift baskets filled with gourmet chocolates are always appreciated.
Smell is another sense that has a great influence the feelings of eroticism. Since time immemorial, men and women used the juice of flowers and other plants to be felt attractive and course pheromones - subtle, almost imperceptible odor molecules by all mammals - have been a sign of sexual receptivity millions of years. Is possible that the use of perfumes and colognes are attempts to mimic or amplify the effects of pheromones? I think yes, so we recommend you baskets filled with herbal soaps and scented candles. Not only are these gifts finely flavored tune in instinct carnal, which will also be appreciated and makes a wonderful gift to inspire a smile.
Of course, we can not forget color. Although it may vary from one culture to another, west, pink, white and red were the traditional colors of love - White for purity, pink for emotion, and red for sexuality. Therefore the color pink are still as popular on Valentine's Day, I suggest flowers as a wonderful gift for Valentine's Day, but remember that flowers should be an entry must be capable of at least one more flowers. I also recommend trying to put all your gifts with a theme. For example, if you've got flowers pink and white, try to find the gift baskets in just the colors, if you pull all the gifts together.
Massage can also be the gift of a Valentine's Day Great. Massage helps to send the message that you really appreciate all the hard work that someone puts on their relationship and shared life. Best of all, you can choose to reward by a luxurious full body massage or fun gift of massage right business in your office.
The most important thing is to remember that personalized gifts mean more than anything else. Make sure that each gift has its own meaning and is special. This can be obtained by the donor - If you have not already done so, create a reason why you are giving each gift that everyone will be much more special.
How to care for potted roses?
I received some roses for Valentine's Day and I've been watering them (a cup of water) every other day. The plant itself is about 7 inches tall or so and I know I shouldn't water the plant too much or anything... but the flowers just seem really dried out. Should I be watering it more or am I drowning it? I'm just worried because I'm in a college dorm and they keep it ridiculously toasty in here. Thanks!
mist the foliage, that should help until heat is no longer in use.
