Popular Blooms From Around the World

By -
Flowers are more than just ornamental or aesthetically pleasing, to many horticulturalists they are their passion and their livelihood. 

As a species we have been historically preoccupied with beauty and this goes for anything man made or from within the natural world and flowers especially have been used to reflect our love for visual splendour. 


Some blooms have had a lot more credit given to them than others and here is a list of some of the more popular flowers from around the world:

The Tulip

The Dutch gave the tulip its infamous reputation of decadence after the social phenomenon in the 17th Century that saw the price of bulbs soar to nearly three times the yearly income of a skilled tradesman. 


After the ‘tulip mania’ bubble had burst the flower remains to be one of the most favourable flowers in the world.

The Orchid


The Orchid is a renowned flower and has been referenced throughout film and literature for example the Susan Orlean novel ‘The Orchid Thief’. 


Their expression is particularly exotic and impressive especially to the early westerners who travelled the Middle and Far East to be met with these stunning flowers.

They seemed so out of the ordinary for the early settlers and therefore became iconic to the exotic within our culture.

The Rose
Roses may seem somewhat common place, their cultural significance and unrelenting beauty means they remain near the top of every popular flower list.

    I remember my bestfriend who really loves yellow tulips :) In my case I would always love orchids. Our mini garden used to have bunches of them.

    I love all of the above flowers. One cannot ignore their beauty. At our farm, we have so many different flowers growing wildly, just about everywhere. We even have tulips growing and blooming abundantly. That's why I love going to our farm and taking pictures of those lovely flowers...:-)

    I remember my grandma's garden, there were different orchids and quite a few roses. I wish we have a garden in the house so I could grow them too.

Cleaning 101: Declogging drains

Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both.   However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water.   Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
