THE FLOWER OF LOVE
AGAPANTHUS
(Ag-ah-pan-thus)
Agapanthus is known as the Flower of Love, the name comes from the Greek word agape, meaning love & anthos, meaning flower. Agapanthus is also recognized as the National Flower of Antigua.The Agapanthus is known under several different names, such as Lily-of-the Nile, African Lily or Agapanthus Africanus. It is originally from South Africa and now grown all over the world for its beautiful blue and white flowers.
It has spectacular funnel-shaped florets in a round cluster that is 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6") across. This is a true focal flower with strong, single stems and it is available in blue with stems of 30"-39" and white with stems of 20"-24".
Available year-round from Central and South America.
Care & Handling:
- Agapanthus is extremely sensitive to ethylene. Premature flower fall is a result due to exposure to ethylene.
- Vase life is 6 to 12 days.
- Start by filling a clean vase (disinfected, as germs kill flowers) with water to which Grower Direct Food Sachets have been added. Using it as recommended will provide additional days of vase life.
- Avoid using water from a water softener.
- Remove any leaves that may be under water to prevent decay. Bacteria in the water can clog stems.
- Display your fresh cut flower arrangement in a cool area out of direct sunlight and drafts.
- Keep your arrangements away from the heating and air vents and also never set it on a TV.
- Check flowers daily, refresh preservative, discard diseased and damaged flowers, and re cut stems.
- Be sure the foam materials are completely saturated and the container is full daily.
Design Suggestions:
- These special flowers will draw attention in any design. They lend themselves to dramatic party or business pieces that rely on simplicity.
- Use in arrangements for the home. You can achieve a beautiful "garden" look, or a dramatic statement with a simple design of a fewstems anchored in marbles.
- Tie three stems together in a parallel design with a "'Happy Birthday"' ribbon and a balloon.
- They provide an excellent display contrast with other large focal flowers like Birds or Callas.
THE LADY WHO LIVES ON A PLANE
Joanne Ussery ,from Mississippi is a big favourite with her two grandsons because she lives on a jet plane.Her home is a Boeing 727,so a visit to grandma is very special.
Joanne's front door is at the top of the plane's steps,but you don't need a ticket or a passport when you visit.There are three bedrooms,a living room,a modern kitchen and a luxury bathroom.The bathroom is in the cockpit,with the bath under the windows.Next to this is Joanne's bedroom in the first class section of the plane.Then there's the living room with four emergency exit doors,which she opens on summer evenings.On the wall there's photo of the plane flying for continental Airlines from Florida to the Caribbean.There are also four toilets,all with No Smoking signs.
'The plane is 27 years old and it's the best home in the world,'says Joanne.'It has all the things you want in a home:a telephone,air conditioning,a cooker,a washing machine,even a dishwasher.It's always very warm,even in winter,and it's very big,42 maters long.My grandchildren love running up and down.And my friends love parties here,but there aren't any flight attendants to serve them their drinks!'
The plane cost Joanne just $2,000.'Next time,'she says,'I want a Boeing 747.not a 727,because they have an upstairs and a downstairs,and I want to go upstairs to bed!'

Try to tell this tongue twister quickly..............!
Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.
