Living with Achillea Ptarmica

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Ever dreamt of waking up to a garden sheet of pure white flowers? This is one common British plant which flowers from June to August, a good 2 months of beautiful blooms to welcome your day. It has a history dating back to more than 250 years ago in English gardens which Parkinson will call it his “Paradise of Pleasant Flowers”. Sometimes all you need is just the simple beauty of nature to bring some joy and not extravagant fair. Perhaps this is what Parkinson is referring to. Simple joys in life can be found in the most unlikely places –  nature, that is, if your heart is open to see and to feel. Though some may view it as a weed but once we understand and see the beauty of this plant which is not only useful but they can keep clean themselves, it makes a favourable plant to have. You can choose to transplant it anytime you wish as well.

Cannot envision how it appears to be? Perhaps you can relate to the lovely white daisies which symbolise a new lease of life for all and bring warmth and joy. This plant just takes on a different form to be in the garden yet it may be worth considering having they in your kitchen or bathroom to add some cheer with a hand bouquet of lovely roses you may have received from an online florist sent from your loved one for a special occasion such as a birthday gift? A floral arrangement or gifts ordered from online florists websites with international flower delivery from someone living out of town, to convey his loving thoughts, will surely deserve some kind attention and loving care with some flowers from the backyard, adding a homely touch to make it all cosy.
