			<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you like fresh flowers? I am ready to bet, all girls adore when boys present them flowers and all boys adore when these flowers stay fresh for a long time, so the following tips will be useful for both parties. </p>
<p align="center"><img title="Flowers" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="289" alt="Flowers" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/flowers.jpg" width="325" border="0"> </p>
<p><span id="more-290"></span>
<ul>
<li>flowers should be equal to ice cream – buy them only when you are about to go home, otherwise, you will spoil them;
<li>put flowers only in clean vases;
<li>smash the woody stems of flowers, thus, they will absorb more water;
<li>remove leaves located below the waterline – they are useless, they only promote bacteria growth;
<li>put flowers in rooms without TVs and other appliances. </li>
</ul>

			<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>

<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since it is September, you can enjoy <strong>calendula </strong>planting in your garden. They are extremely easy in maintenance and self-seed. But they will never make a chaos out of your garden.
<p align="center"><img title="Calendula" height="375" alt="Calendula" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/calendula12-10-05.jpg" width="500" border="0"> </p>
<p> <span id="more-21"></span>
<p>To keep your calendula blooming you need rich soil. As a rule, calendula will adapt to most any soil conditions, but &#8230; These plants don’t like dog days and very warm weather. They grow fast in fall or early spring. Very often calendula can bloom until frost.
<p align="center"><img title="Calendula" height="333" alt="Calendula" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sg051110calendula200.jpg" width="500" border="0"> </p>
<p>You are welcome to take flowers from your calendula. There are two kinds of calendula – annual (don’t live more than one year) and perennial (ive more than two years).
<ul>
<li>try to sow seeds in spring
<li>maintain a distance of 10 inches between the seeds
<li>some insects adore eating calendula, so don’t forget about protection</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><img title="Calendula" height="333" alt="Calendula" src="http://gardenunit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/calendulaclose.jpg" width="500" border="0"> </p>
