Caramel InfusionThe name says it all — caramel, honey, toffee and an exotic elixir come home to a new realm of comfort colors. The aesthetic is subtle yet sublime, neutral but never dull. The look supports curves and softness. Our senses are lured not only by the color but also by the feel. Here we taste and experience luxury in the sanctuary of our own homes. Rich glazes, warm surfaces and amber hues combine to create a modern chic.
This style is uncomplicated and comfortable. Wooden vessels, glazed ceramics or amber to brown glassware are appropriate container choices. Cymbidium Orchids and Callas provide soft curves and perfect colors. ‘Leandra,’ ‘Citronella’ and ‘Limona’ roses all fit the color harmony while Leucadendrons, Leucospermums and Banksias all provide the color and a nod to the exotic. The sueded brown backsides of Magnolia foliage finish the look.

HydroponicThe emphasis is on health and well being, with green dominating this palette. Water and glass merge with botanicals, creating a spalike feeling. In this state, things are simple and clear—a sanctuary by design. Based off of white, a licorice hue accents the palette, and you’ll also find a lilac ash and illusion blue, as well.

Clinical and clean best describe this presentation. Floral materials that support the feeling are ‘Super Green’ and ‘Jade’ Roses, ‘Green Goddess’ Callas, Green Cymbidium Orchids, Green Gladioli, Green Anthuriums, King and Queen Proteas, Banksias, Grasses, Herbs and Ferns, as well as monobotanical foliage presentations.

Experience the return of earth tones with a sense of luxury. This rich, analogous color harmony ranges from deep mahogany hues to terra-cotta, clay, carnelian red and rose tones with a copper accent. Warm and sensuous spice tones simmer to top notes of pink, while deep cocoa, caramel and coffee tones cooked to gooey perfection, tempting the senses. It is about organic elements—glazed ceramic, worn leather, stitching on leather, textured metals, worn and suede surfaces.

Callas and Cymbidium orchids imbue style while Celosia, Coral Bells, Amaranthus, Cone Flowers, Dahlias, Chocolate Cosmos, Coccinea and Kangaroo Paws provide texture.

BULB

BULB (bulb). A bulb is a thick, fleshy bud that usually grows underground. In many plants, such as the tiger lily, it grows above ground, in the spot where the leaves branch from the plant stem. Bulbs are of two types: the scaly and thetunicate. The scary type bulb as in most lilies, is made up of a short central core inside of thick, fleshy, scalelike leaves. The tunicate bulb, such as the onion, has fleshy leaf bases in smooth and continuous layers. If an onion is cut in half, the inside looks like thickened bands or circles of tissue. Roots generally grow from the base of the bulb. The bulb serves as a storage place with enough food and water to supply the plant during winter or a dry period.
The bulb is also a storehouse for new stems, leaves and flowers, after the plant first flowers. In fact, the bulb has in it a new stem and often the beginnings of flowers and leaves as well. These are protected within the bulb by the bulb scales. These scales or leaves are a food storehouse for the plant. The food stored in the bulbs during one season is used for the beginning of the growth of the stem, leaves and flowers during the next season. A number of different kinds of bulbs such as the onion are used for food. Some other examples of the bulb are the lily bulbs, the tulip bulbs, and the hyacinth.

LOTUS

LOTUS (lo'tus) serves as a popular name for several flowering plants belonging to different families. The Indian or sacred lotus of the Orient is a member of the water lily family (genus Nelumbo). Also called the sacred bean, this lotus is grown in many lands. It has pink flowers and round leaves that usually grow well above the water surface. Its nutlike seeds are held in pits in the seed pods.
Varieties of the Indian lotus having white, pink, or red flowers are grown in lily ponds. The plant grows wild in some U.S. regions.
The native American lotus or water chinquapin is also a member of the Nelumbo genus. From its yellow flowers comes the name yellow water lily. It grows in quiet waters, chiefly east of the Mississippi River. The starchy under-ground stems and acornlike seeds can be eaten. These were used as food by American Indians.
The white Egyptian lotus, called the sacred lily of the Nile, and the blue African lotus be-long to another water lily genus, Nymphaea. They were grown along the Nile thousands of years ago. The Egyptians ate their edible roots which grew in southern Europe and northern Africa. Its sweet fruits were used as food. According to Greek legend, "lotus-eaters" who ate the fruit, or drank wine made from it, were lulled into a life of dreamy idleness.Lotus is also the scientific name of a large group (genus) of plants of the pea family.
