Vietnam Flowers and Bonsai plants.

Vietnamese loves flowers. People gives flowers in every occasions. At the airports, you can see people carries flower bouquets waiting to greet their friends, relatives at the gate. You can find flowers in public parks, along the streets, roads. However, there is no good flower gardens in Vietnam. The Saigon Botanical Garden, established in 1864, grew to a collection of nearly 1,500 species. With the war and its subsequent dislocations, the gardens declined. Since 1975 there has been little investment in the garden and all scientific work has ceased.

Vietnam Flowers and Bonsai plants.

The climate in Vietnam is tropical monsoon which is divided into the rainy and dry seasons. Vietnam climate is perfect for tropical flowers. Dalat city, in Central Highland about 1,500 m above sea level, is the capital flower of Vietnam. If you love flowers, you should visit Dalat in the early Spring, especially during the Flower Festival.
Vietnamese also loves bonsai plants which are called "cay kien"or "cay canh". You can find bonsai plants in everywhere in Vietnam, especially in front of office buildings, hotels, restaurants, etc.

11 Parts of a Business Card

1. Name of IndividualNot every type of business card has to have the name of the individual but it's a nice personalized touch. In a large organization it can be beneficial to the recipient to have the name of a specific person to contact. The name of the individual or the name of the business or organization is usually the most prominent text element of a business card.
2. Name of Business or OrganizationA business card almost always has a business or organization name on it. The name of the individual or the name of the business or organization is usually the most prominent text element of a business card. An organization with a highly recognizable logo might de-emphasize the business name (size and/or placement) but it is usually an essential piece of information.
3. AddressA physical address or a mailing address or both are typical parts of a business card. If the company does business exclusively online or by mail, a physical address might not be a key element to include. If both a physical and a mailing address are included, it may be desirable to label each one.
4. Phone Number(s)Multiple numbers are typically listed in order of voice, fax, cell but you can omit any numbers that are not the preferred method of phone contact. Don't forget the area and/or country codes and extension, if required. Using parentheses, hyphens, periods, spaces, or other characters to separate numbers in a phone number are generally a matter of preference and custom but be consistent in whatever method is chosen.
5. Email AddressIncluding an email address is an important element for Web-based businesses but other businesses or organizations might omit this form of contact unless it is one of their preferred methods of contact.
6. Web Page AddressWeb addresses can be listed with or without the http:// preceding the URL. As with email addresses, it is an essential element for Web-based businesses.
7. Job Title of IndividualNot a required element, some entrepreneurs or sole proprietors might include "President" or "CEO" or some other title to give the appearance of a larger organization.
8. Tagline or Description of BusinessA tagline or brief description can be useful when the business name is somewhat ambiguous or doesn't clearly convey what the business does. Taglines can also convey benefits and features.
9. LogoA logo used consistently on business cards and other print / electronic materials helps to establish a company's identity.
10. Graphic Image(s) (including purely decorative elements)Small companies without a logo may choose to use generic or stock images or custom illustrations that help reinforce what the company does. Small graphic embellishments or boxes might be used to separate blocks of information.
11. List of Services or ProductsA long list will usually clutter up a standard size business card but when using two-sided or folded business cards a bullet list of services offered or main product lines can extend the usefulness of the business card.

What is a credit report and credit score?

A credit report is a report containing information about your identity, credit relationships, some court actions, consumers statements and previous inquiries into that file. Credit reports are compiled by agencies that gather information about your credit relationships known as credit bureaus. Currently there are three major credit bureaus (more info. below).
Credit scoring is a system lenders use to help determine whether to give you credit (car loans, credit cards, home mortgages, etc.) that is closely associated with your credit report. Information about you and your credit experiences, such as your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts, is collected from your credit application and your credit report(s).
Using a statistical program, creditors compare this information to the credit performance of consumers with similar profiles. A credit scoring system awards points for each factor that helps predict who is most likely to repay a debt. A total number of points, a credit score, helps predict how creditworthy you are, that is, how likely it is that you will repay a loan and make the payments when due.

Roses divided by category

Tree Roses Tree Roses consist of large heavy understocks with bush cultivars or varieties budded onto them several feet above the ground surface. These roses are semi-hardy in most cases and may require winter protection. Tree roses are useful for accent and specimen purposes but seldom prosper in western Oklahoma. The foregoing roses have an average of five leaflets per leaf, while the following rose species have seven or more leaflets per leaf. Healthy roses produce the maximum number of flowers.

Polyantha Roses bear large clusters of small flowers. These clusters are similar to many of those found on climbing roses. Polyanthas are hardy and are well-adapted to Oklahoma conditions. The rather dwarf, vigorous bushes require relatively low maintenance.

Miniature Roses are dwarf plants that vary from a few inches to one foot or more in height. Flowers are small, but most cultivars flower freely over a long period of time. These roses are useful for borders or edging and rock gardens. However, most cultivars are disease and pest prone. The foregoing rose types flower repeatedly in the growing season. Hybrid tea, floribunda, and grandiflora types usually make up the yearly All American Rose Selections . They usually require weekly pest control, though some have good disease resistance.

Hybrid Perpetuals produce one heavy spring crop of large, fragrant flowers and often a few autumn flowers. The plants are about twice as large as the average hybrid tea and require minimum care. The hardy plants require no winter protection. If used as a bed planting, a low shrub border should be provided to screen the leggy appearance. Hybrid perpetuals and Old-Fashioned roses are seldom found in the trade. (Frau Karl Druskchki is a good white hybrid perpetual cultivar.)

Shrub Roses comprise various wild species, hybrids, and varieties that develop large, dense bushes more closely resembling shrubs. Their small spring flowers and fall seed pods contribute to their value as ornamentals. Most shrub roses are hardy throughout the state. Their primary use is for mass, screen or hedge plants. The fragrant pink or white Musk roses are typical of the group. Iowa State University has introduced a truly carefree wild hybrid rose that blooms like a floribunda. Carefree Beauty, a lovely pink cultivar, is currently available. Carefree Beauty responds to fertilizer.

Rugosa roses have been hybridized into some fragrant repeat blooming Carefree Beauties. These semi-double roses range from bright red to white and yellow in color. Rugosa roses produce the most disease and pest free plants in rosedom. They are extremely salt tolerant and should be one of the better roses for beginners.

The new Meidiland roses are generally drought tolerant and somewhat disease resistant. Most have seven leaflets, and most grow five to seven feet tall with wide arching branches. They are available in red, pink and white cultivars that bloom throughout the summer. Cultivar Ferdy is covered with coral flowers for 3 to 4 weeks in spring of the second year, so avoid overpruning. Cultivar Bonica is shell pink, grows like a floribunda and flowers all summer and into fall.

Old-Fashioned Roses have been in cultivation since Colonial times. The abundant spring flowers are generally less attractive that today's varieties, but their fragrance is usually better. These very hardy roses require little care and flower abundantly in the spring. Cabbage or Moss roses are typical types. They bear buds covered with dense moss-like growth that open to fragrant pink blooms.

The New English Hybrid Roses were crossed with old roses and modern hybrids for really fragrant beauties with a great deal of disease resistance. For example, Othello is a carmen red rose with little or no disease, and it produces a steady stream of red roses from June to frost.

Climbing Roses Climber is a general term for roses that produce long, vigorous canes that cannot support their own weight. They are usually trained on trellises, fences, walls, posts, or arbors. Many of these varieties can be used as ground cover when no supporting structure is used. This category is usually divided into several groups, although many individual roses may qualify for one or more classifications. Ramblers are one the most vigorous of all the climbing roses. Some canes may produce as much as 20 feet of new growth each season. The small flowers are borne in clusters in the spring on the previous season's growth. Unfortunately, many of these cultivars are subject to severe mildew damage. Most are hardy and require little or no winter protection. Seven Sisters is an old, mildew-prone, pink flowering rambler found on many farm fences in southern Oklahoma.

Everblooming Climbers are much less vigorous than ramblers. They are sometimes called pillar roses. Their slower growth makes them better suited for use in a small garden. The usually flower heavily in spring, and if conditions are favorable, may flower again in the fall. A few cultivars bloom as often as hybrid teas. Blaze Improved blooms both spring and fall. Father Hugo rose freely produces single yellow spring flowers followed by red pods in the fall. Some cultivars bloom more freely if the branches are trained horizontally rather than vertically. This group is quite winter hardy and more disease resistant.

Climbing Hybrid Tea roses are in most cases identical to their bush parent plants. In general, climbing hybrid teas do not bloom as continuously as their bush parents. Climbing hybrid teas are just as subject to disease and winter damage as the bush forms.

Climbing Floribunda and Polyantha roses are climbing cultivars of bush-type plants. They flower fairly continuously and are more hardy than climbing hybrid teas.

Trailing Roses produce long canes that trail on the ground, on banks, or on walls. These ground cover roses produce small fragrant flowers in late spring. They are hardy and have a place in some gardens. Rosa wichuraiana, the Memorial Rose, is typical of the trailing roses. It grows just two feet tall and roots where stems touch the ground. Flowers are white, but the cultivar Hiawatha has red blooms with white centers.

If your local nursery doesn't have the type of rose you want, ask them to order it, preferably in early fall.

Roses divided by category

Roses are probably the most popular flower in the country. Roses are usually classed into two general categories according to their habit of growth-- bush roses and climbing roses. The following classification is taken in part from "Roses for the Home," (Home and Garden Bulletin No. 25, USDA). Bush Roses Bush roses are divided into several categories because of differences in flowering habit, winter hardiness, and other traits. These include the following:

Hybrid Teas are the most popular type of rose grown today. They bloom from May to frost and range from two to six feet in height. They commonly produce one bloom per stem. Many cultivars are semi-hardy and may require winter protection. They have large buds and are valuable for cut flowers and specimen display.

Floribunda flowers resemble small hybrid teas borne in clusters. This type produces a vigorous bush and blooms prolifically. It is hardy and requires less care than hybrid tea roses. Floribundas are useful for bed plantings and massing in a shrub border.

Grandifloras bear the same type of bloom as the hybrid teas, but the flowers are in clusters. They are hybrids of floribunda and hybrid teas. Grandiflora roses make fine cut flowers and may be used as a specimen plant or in mass plantings. The plants are usually large and vigorous.

Spring Bulbs - Hyacinths Bulbs

A wide range of color, an alluring scent, and easy flowering make the hyacinth an extremely popular spring-flowering bulb . Like many of the spring bulbs, the hyacinth originated in the Mediterranean region. Hyacinths were imported to bulb-crazy Holland over 400 years ago, where (like tulips) they were a hot commodity for bulb speculators in the 17th and 18th centuries. Hyacinth bulbs produce stiff, upright plants of about 8 to 12 inches in height, although the double varieties tend to be a bit smaller. Hyacinth flowers range from blue, lavender and white to warmer colors like red, orange, pink and yellow. If you're planting the bulbs for your spring garden , hyacinths look best in clumps rather than in orderly rows. They are also perfect, beautifully scented houseplants , ideal for indoor forcing.

Spring Flowers - Daffodils Bulbs and Narcissi Bulbs

The names "daffodil" and "narcissus" are pretty much interchangeable; they both refer to the many lovely and popular varieties of spring bulbs in the genus Narcissus . Some people use the term "daffodils" to describe the large-flowered forms, and "narcissi" to describe the small-flowered forms, but botanically speaking they are all in the genus Narcissus , and share all of the most important traits. Next to tulips, daffodils are the most popular of the spring-flowering bulbs. They are easy to cultivate, they flower early and reliably, and their poisonous alkaloids mean that deer, rodents and other troublesome pests tend not to wreak the same havoc on daffodils that they do on other spring flowers.

Spring Bulbs - Iris Bulbs

Irises , or flowers of the Iris genus, are named after the Greek messenger of the same name, who arrived on earth via a rainbow. Like their namesake, Irises come in a rainbow of colors: white, gold, orange, yellow, pink, and all shades of blue through to the deepest purple. All iris flowers have three upright petals called "standards", and three petal-like sepals called "falls"; in some irises, the standards and sepals have different colors, in others, they have the same color. Irises grow from bulbs or rhizomes -- the two terms can be used more or less interchangeably, although the correct term is rhizome. Two popular and easily grown irises are the netted iris ( Iris reticulata ), which gets its name from the coarse net-like covering on the bulbs, and the Danford iris ( Iris danfordiae ). The netted iris bulb comes in several cultivars, with a color range of blue, violet, purple, maroon, and bi-colored varieties. The Danford iris has a bright yellow flower.

Spring Bulbs - Tulips Bulbs

One of the most popular of the spring flowering bulbs , the tulip (botanical name Tulipa resembles a little turban on a stalk. The name tulip is in fact derived from the Turkish word tulpend or turban. Most people associate the tulip with Holland , but tulips are actually native to Turkey and western and central Asia, with only a few species occurring naturally in Europe .

But it was in Holland that "tulip mania" reached its peak in the 17th century, with the development of new tulip varieties, colors, and exotic shapes. People used tulip bulbs like currency, with the price of certain exotic bulb varieties approaching the absurd -- one bulb was reportedly exchanged for two loads of wheat, four oxen, eight pigs, twelve sheep, two hogsheads of wine, four barrels of beer, two barrels of butter, 1000 pounds of cheese, a bed, a suit of clothes and a silver beaker!

Tulips have come down in price since the heady days of 17th century bulb speculation. Although still wildly popular -- the daffodil is the only other spring bulb approaching the tulip for popularity -- most tulip bulb varieties are inexpensive and widely available. See below for a table with the ten most popular tulip bulb cultivars.

	Tulip -These flowers grow almost an inch daily even when cut. Stems bend toward the light and blooms in bright light while closing back up when dark. Cut flower and put in water immediately because the stems seal themselves quickly. Last 7-10 days.
	Tulip French-This is the largest variety of the tulip family. These flowers grow almost an inch daily even when cut. Stems bend toward the light and blooms in bright light while closing back up when dark. Cut flower and put in water immediately because the stems seal themselves quickly. Last 7-10 days.
	Tulip Parrot-These flowers grow almost an inch daily even when cut. These tulips have a fringed look to the blooms. Stems bend toward the light and blooms in bright light while closing back up when dark. Cut flower and put in water immediately because the stems seal themselves quickly. Last 7-10 days.

Spring Flowers

Spring flowering bulbs are planted in the fall. They require a freeze and period of dormancy -- when the spring thaw comes, they will be among the first to bloom and provide early season color in your garden, while your other plants are still developing. Because they can withstand (and even require) a frost, they are often referred to as hardy bulbs.

Popular Spring Bulbs

Probably the most popular of the spring-flowering bulbs is the classic Dutch tulip , but other popular species include the daffodil (or narcissus), the iris, the lily, the cyclamen, and the crocus. Click one of the popular bulb species listed below to find out more.

Roses

With their far-reaching popularity, roses are the queens of flowers. After buttercup, the roses are the second oldest variety of flowers on the planet. Biologists can trace roses back some 200 million years! Although there is a huge number of meanings and symbols associated with roses, the most common of course is love, which originated in Greek mythology. When Aphrodite cried about the death of her lover Adonis, she had red "Adonis Roses" grown with his blood, - thus red roses are the symbol of never-ending love. Important to mention are the roses' thorns, of which we all probably have some painful memory. Symbolically, love can be painful and full of suffering when not treated carefully.

Tulips

Originally from Persia, tulips were introduced to Western Europe and the Netherlands in the 17th century. When growers started to hybridize the flower, they found ways of making it even more decorative. Hybrids of the flower were a scarcity at the time and a symbol of high status. Soon tulips became very popular as a trading product and bulbs were traded at the highest prices. The months of late 1636 to early 1637 would make history in the Netherlands as "Tulipmania". A bed of tulips was worth up to $5,000, the value of a small house in Amsterdam . The bulbs became currency, and their value was quoted at the stock market.

The flower, also called "gracious lady" stands for deception.

Meaning of Snap Dragon Flower : Desire, strength

Orchids

During the 19th Century, orchids were widely collected. With nearly 25,000 varieties, some orchids are among the most exquisite and expensive flowers available.
