			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we discuss presents with roses we imply only a bunch of flowers. I am&nbsp; ready to bet most of us have never thought that roses are much more than that. A <a href="http://www.1800therose.com">rose</a> can convey a spirit of love, desire, loyalty, platonic love, fantasy and so on and here comes a number of presents one can create with the help of this flower.
<ul>
<li>rose plants</li>
</ul>
<p>They have nothing in common with boring and traditional bouquets. Such a gift looks surprisingly fresh and very unusual. Choose a matching pot and a great gift is ready! Such a gift will be treasured and appreciated. </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>rose bouquets with gifts</li>
</ul>
<p>A small bouquet and a present – what a nice gift idea. Combine your roses with a sweet teddy-bear or a box of&nbsp; chocolates or both. Such a gift will put a smile on face of a person and make him or her think how generous and attentive you are. </p>

<ul>
<li>a rose that never dies </li>
</ul>
<p>How about presenting such a masterpiece as a Waterford® Crystal Red Rose? This rose was carefully sculpted and crafted by the masters at Waterford®. What a charming crystal! </p>

I paid my special attention to the following miniature gold plated vase that can be equipped with real flowers. As to me, it looks really unusual and interesting.According to the manufacturer, the &#8217;scaffold vase&#8217; contains over 3500 parts. I think it is a great alternative to to usual garden vases!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Of course, we all want to pick not only the most beautiful but also the freshest flowers and not because we are that greedy and want a single bouquet to be alive for 14 days, it&rsquo;s because we don&rsquo;t want to spoil flowers, since they are alive. The following tips will help you to know what blooms to pick up: </p>
<p align="center"><img alt="Fresh flowers" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fresh-2dflowers.jpg" border="0" / /></p>
<p><span id="more-307"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Take flowers with some unopened buds. But be careful and don&rsquo;t choose too tightly shut green buds, they are not mature yet and they will never open; </li>
<li>Stems and blossoms should be firm. Pay attention, such flowers as gerbera daisies, should have plastic straws or foam cuffs to protect their stems; </li>
<li>Leaves should be healthy and perfectly green yellow and unhealthy leaves are the signs of decaying flowers; </li>
<li>Fresh flowers can&rsquo;t be in the discount section. </li>
</ul>
<p>Pick the best! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, are you ready to meet the world&#8217;s ugliest plant ever? The following information is available to us thanks to the RHS new project. Sad to say it but right now the &#8220;winner&#8221; is officially named the ugliest plant in the world and I am ready to bet this label will stay with the plant till the end of this life. </p>
<p align="center"><img title="corpse-flower" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="323" alt="corpse-flower" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/corpseflower.jpg" width="500" border="0"> </p>
<p><span id="more-273"></span>
<p>Most reviewers name it a very funny plant that has its own charm but this charm is not evident and the plant can be named the ugliest ever. Oh my god, I have almost forgotten to name you this amazing flower &#8211; the spectacular <strong>corpse flower</strong> (<i>Amorphophallus titanum) </i>voted the ugliest ever.</p>
<p>Some reviewers claim that it is not ugly at all – it is simply smells very bad, even foul. This plant blooms every four to six years and lives not more than 40-years. This flower was once named the world&#8217;s largest and it sometimes reaches 5ft high and 4ft wide. Very often the following plant is called a useful aphrodisiac.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a successful owner of a garden with a pond – you can easily plant there such amazing things as waterlilies (Nymphaea) and lotuses (Nelumbo) that are real jewels of the aquatic world. They have flowers most of the times and always make your house look festive and attractive.</p>
<p align="center"><img title="Water Lily Pad" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="378" alt="Water Lily Pad" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/waterlilypad.jpg" width="500" border="0"> </p>
<p><span id="more-243"></span>
<p>Those plants were popular even in the ancient world, because they were celebrated for their beauty and immortalized in art and religion. The most interesting part, that they are easy to grow and are very grateful to a gardener who grows them – such plant give fragrant flowers most of the time, as a rule from June until October.</p>
<p align="center"><img title="Lotus Flower" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="375" alt="Lotus Flower" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/lotusflower.jpg" width="500" border="0"> </p>
<p>However, you should always make sure your waterlily or lotus gets enough sunlight – not less than 4 hours a day. Don&#8217;t forget to fertilize your plants with tablets, and never put fertilizers directly into water because thus you can change its pH and harm both plants and fish. Always help your plant to get rid of old and yellow leaves. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dahlias are very beautiful and tender perennials, they can’t stand temperatures lower than + 9, so they should be carefully dug out of the ground and stored during winter time. Please, remember just one light frost will kill the foliage.
<p align="center"><img title="Dahlias" height="375" alt="Dahlias" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dahlias.jpg" width="500" border="0"> </p>
<p><span id="more-99"></span>
<p>If you still feel like letting your dahlias spending winter in garden, think of protecting them as great as possible. Heap a 15cm (6in) layer of mulch on top of them.
<p>As a rule these plants are carefully dig out the ground with a spade. Dahlia tubers should be dry and extremely clean, since any moisture or mud can make plants rot.
<p>Cover your dahlias with potting compost and store them in a cool, frost-free place until spring.  </p>
