your own garden. |

rings. |

altars of churches during the Christian holiday. This association
with Easter has its roots in the Bible where it is frequently

St. Patrick's Day Shamrocks Bring Luck O' The Irish To Flowers by Wesley Berry, AAF |
|
|
You probably recognize the shamrock as a symbol of St. Patrick's
Day, so why not add a bit of that Irish luck to your St.
Patrick's Day flowers? Believe it or not, many florists do keep
a supply of shamrocks on hand to add to bouquets and
arrangements ordered for St. Patrick's Day. Well, at least they
carry something that passes for shamrocks... A closer look at
the shamrock and the legends surrounding it reveals that finding
the "true shamrock" requires more than just the luck brought
by a four-leaf clover. |

Madonna Writes About English Roses, But Does She Grow Them? by Wesley Berry, AAF |
|
|
onsidering that material girl Madonna has mad herself famous as
a trendsetter, it's actually very likely that she does indeed
grow English Roses. That's because, in terms of flowers, English
Roses are relatively new to the scene and aren't found in the
gardens of most people. In fact, English Roses weren't
introduced until around 1969 when roses grown by English rose
breeder, David Austin, first began to appear in the flower
world. |

The Rose: Christina Aguilera's Favorite Flower? by Wesley Berry, AAF |

The rose has long been a favorite flower of many women, but is it
the favorite flower of Christina Aguilera? The truth is, I
don't know, but judging by the elaborate floral chuppah of
brightly colored orange, yellow, and burgundy roses
conspicuously present at her wedding and the thick bouquets of
hot pink roses and rose petals surrounding her wedding cake,
it's a sure bet the rose ranks high on Aguilera's list of
favorite flowers. |

commonly known as the daffodil, but is often called the jonquil
in the Southern states. It is a consummate symbol of spring and
new beginnings, but also stands for friendship and domestic
happiness. Its name, Narcissus, when further explained, may give
this flower yet another connotation. |

whether humans have inadvertently created it, the behaviour is
taught to her cubs by a sow, or it's simply born an opportunist.
To help you decide, this story describes a prime example of a

From a Duffer's Delight to Pro's Paradise: Golf Discoveries, Summer Through Autumn by Travel Alberta |

When it comes to golf courses that tempt, you'd have to look
long and hard to discover more unique challenges than those
you'll find at Alberta golf courses. Golfers can swing through
Alberta's diverse regions and golf in northern boreal forests,
through the Canadian Rocky Mountains, amidst hoodoos and dinosaur
beds, alongside lakes, streams and rivers. Your spectators can
include deer, elk and moose. Now, that's a gallery. And during
the summer months, the daylight seems to go on forever, which
means the vacation golfer can test his skills for up to 18 hours
a day. |

window to get a better fix on it during my holiday, even as my
passenger was shouting to be heard over the ghostly radio voices
fading in and out. Within seconds it multiplied and changed
colors, soaring over us like an exploding rainbow. Nature's
primal postcard, my holiday highlight delivered free. |

What type of Dog Food is best for your Pet? by A. M. Wilmot |
|
|
The first problem that new pet owners face is generally the
issue of food. What should we buy and what should we stay away
from? Introducing a young dog to the world of food should be a
very delicate process. Owners should carefully monitor how much
food is given to the new pet versus how much they are eating.
We should be stringent about how quickly we increase the amount
of food because we always run the risk of overfeeding. |
