 The foliage of such orchids is incredibly beautiful. Thus, on the velvety surface you can see intricately arranged veins, which can be painted in different colors. They seem to be made of small stones that sparkle in the light. The more beautiful the leaf is, the finer its pattern, because in this case it shines very brightly and the shimmer is noticeable even with the slightest movement.

Daisy Plant.

 Daisies are grown in gardens in any good soil. Large-flowered varieties of daisies usually do not tolerate severe frosts, so they should be covered for the winter.

 Old specimens begin to degenerate and bloom with simple flowers, and therefore they should be dug up and divided into several parts; this operation is best done in the summer, after flowering. On June 4, 2023, according to the results of a vote on the radio show "Vroege Vogels", the daisy was officially recognized as the national flower of the Netherlands.

Poppies in the Meadow.

 The common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is an annual wildflower that produces bright red flowers. The seeds of the common poppy can lie dormant for up to 80 years, germinating when the soil is disturbed. This led to it being developed as a symbol of remembrance after World War I, when bouquets of poppies grew on battlefields.

 The common poppy typically blooms from late spring to early summer. Although the flowers are often bright red, hybridization and selection have resulted in several cultivars with flowers in shades of yellow, orange, pink, and white.

 These poppies are low maintenance when planted in their hardiness zones, and are excellent for naturalizing. They also grow well in beds, allotments, borders, and pollinator gardens.

 Please note that all parts of the poppy plant are toxic to dogs and cats.
