Understanding thus daisies, Are found throughout the world and although most are herbaceous plants, there are also shrubs, climbers and even bearing tree.
If we are to appoint two daisies as clear examples in this great family ... the answer is very clear at the grassroots level: Gerberas and the Chrysantemun. But there are many more well known by all as for example the AstericusThe CalendulaThe Dahlia... And etc..
Daisy flowers beautify the gardens as much inside our homes as they are widely used in gardening and in the cut flower market. It's not as normal as houseplants find it or have a most enlightened, or flowering ornamental rapidly loses interest.
Still, in recent years, companies breeders of new varieties, varieties have already taken Gerberas and Chrysantemun to be grown as potted plants with results as good houseplant. And with the advantage that once past its initial flowering, can be planted in the garden and enjoy it as seasonal plant.

The Proteas as ornamental cut flowers
For this purpose, the cultivation of Proteas in the World is a reality, their flowers by air travelers to the country of consumption.
Among the most prominent countries in cultivation are:
■ South Africa, Which began its cultivation in the forties and production currently stands at over 4,200 hectares between nurseries and production areas for both fresh flowers as in the form of dried flowers.
■ AustraliaSecond country Proteas endemic but also cultivated varieties introduced from South Africa. Its major production areas are in Western Australia. Note that there are many endemic varieties that are protected for export and also happens in New Zealand. Production areas in New Zealand are Northland and Bay of Plenty.
■ United StatesIn its most important production areas of California and the Hawaiian Islands. They grow as a whole over 80 acres being the most important genres Banksia and Leucodendron.
■ Israel that occurs mainly in Leucodendron.
■ Portugal production began Proteas The island of Madeira in a little over 40 years. It also has production in the Azores that although his production is all of the islands, its largest area is on the island of Sao Miguel. In Alentejana coast (southern Portugal) and in the Algarve. Much of the Proteas as ornamental cut flowers are sold through Holland.
■ Spain, A young country like Proteas producerHas its main growing areas in Huelva with Leucodendron, And the Canary Islands where there are major areas for this plant.
■ Chile increases substantially directing their Proteas flowers to Europe.

Bouquets of carnations
The carnationsis one of the most popular flowers in Spain with the rose. In fact, one of the pioneering countries in Europe in production and exports and is now the most important region Andalusia in regard to this flower.
Carnations
The greatest carnation market the world is the United States, Colombia and its main supplier and thus perhaps also the world's leading producer standard type carnation. In fact Colombia is also a major supplier in Europe, competing strongly with the Spanish market. In this case, carnations are transported by air, while trade in Europe is done primarily through trucks.
When we speak of 'The Carnation'As such, we refer primarily to Dianthus caryophyllusBelonging to the family Cariophyllaceas. This is mainly grown for cut flowers but also has a small market as ornamental potted plant. The pink (Dianthus caryophyllus) Originates in the Mediterranean at its most wild, although now and as a result of multiple hybridization and selection processes, is unlike almost anything and the varietal range is impressive.
Its value lies primarily in ornamental flowers with serrated petals, more or less irregularly. Currently grown carnations uniflora type, multiflora or bouquet. Carnations are often associated, emotionally, to the joy and charm ... and generally everything having to do with the joy and love. In the language of flowers are closely related with all the love feelings involved, but each color has a specific meaning. Thus, while the red expresses admiration for the beloved, the target makes greater reference to pure love.
The carnation bouquets may be all of Carnations or combined with other species of flower bouquets to set great ornamental value. This applies to the Standard carnations, Also called large-flowered.
In contrast, Miniature carnations, Also called multiflora or spray, are used primarily for bouquets along with the occasional flower as the StatizeThe Gerbera... And green as the ornamental cutting Leather FernThe Gypsophila paniculataEtc.. Together classes are set up much cheaper.
Entering the varieties of Carnations and within the 'standard type', we find an impressive collection that is growing over time. It is noteworthy that besides the pure colors, is the group of so-called 'Fantasia' and are having a lot of acceptance, including varieties of striped or variegated flower.
To set good carnation bouquets We should be demanding and are always Carnations quality. To do this, we must pay attention to things like the diameter of the flower, good training for their flowers, the absence of defects and pests, it appears the 'freshness' and does not wither, that the opening is partially open their flowers for a longer duration and the length and rigidity of the stem are adequate.
On the rigidity of the stem can be determined by taking the stem horizontally about 3 inches from the base of the stem according to the quality it deserves. If the deviation of the head of the flower is over 30 degrees from the horizontal curvature natural down ... the flower is defective.

The Proteas
The Proteas are very old plants, to the extent that they are within the southern hemisphere in three continents (Africa, Australia and South America.), implying that were already present before their separation, living with the dinosaurs
Protea Flower
About the name of this family there are variations to consider. First, the word is documented Protea comes from Greek mythology. The God Proteus, son of Poseidon, god of the seas and has the power to change shape and appearance, as the Proteas have a great diversity in form and color. Also in South Africa are called 'Suikerbossie', variant 'Sugarbush' which means 'wood sugar'. And that was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 under the name of Leucodendron repens their creeping certain bearing. Later, it was Carl Thunberg who changed his name to the new 'Protea mellifera', Known for his engagement in the production of honey.
Virtually all the Proteas need a rather poor soil, sandy, well ventilated, drained and slightly acidic pH. Their exposure should be sunny and temperatures without frost.
Under these conditions often have problems, whereas very wet, wet lands, is almost certain to die from asphyxiation root or the occurrence of the dreaded PhytophthoraThe enemy fungus most important source of the Proteas.
Currently grown variety Proteas in different countries for use in trade fresh flowers ornamentals. Among the most prominent countries are South Africa, followed by Australia, United States (California and Hawaii Islands), Israel, Zimbabwe, Portugal (South, Madeira and the Azores), Spain (Canary Islands, and the area of Huelva), Costa Rica , Chile, New Zealand, China and Japan.
As a curiosity associated with the ProteasWe can say that the Protea repens was for 200 years, the national flower of South Africa, in 1976 was replaced by Protea cyneriodes with the reason that this particular type produces the largest flower in the Proteas.

The important thing is to make sure you buy the flowers Anthurium andreanum in good condition, they are fresh flowers. From here, everything depends on us.
The Anthurium andreanumOne of the most important ornamental species of the genus Anthurium sp. is native to tropical rain forests of Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Central America. Therefore, the moisture, heat and avoid direct sunlight will need to be borne in mind.
Focus on how to preserve longer the flowers Anthurium andreanum can be easy if we consider a few details. First, whether purchased at a flower shop or specialty store by flower delivery at home Internet, is unpack and put in the vase.
In all cases we will choose a clean vase, which also add clean water, no trace of chlorine and will add a preservative preferably cut flowers. This preservative will help prevent the development small bacteria and algae in the water and concentrate on the cut area of the stem, since they are a major cause shortening the life of any flower.
Technically, water is absorbed by the wood vessels called. These are like 'small pipes' located in the central parts of the stem and through which water flows from the roots to the leaves (once produced the juice, this falls Liberian vessels found at the periphery of the stem). Part of this water, as happens in us is evaporated through transpiration, so it must be replenished constantly.
The fresh flowers of Anthurium andreanum, Having no roots absorb water at the base of the stem. Thus, it is recommended that as often as possible (daily or every two days), change the vase water ... and every three or four days also wash well. Always adding a preservative of cut flowers if possible.
Usually we have one class only Anthurium flowers andreanumBut are always accompanied by other flowers and especially the so-called green ornamental. Therefore, these actions are due to perform with all the flowers and green forming the ornamental industry.
Both the first place the Anthurium flowers andreanum in the vase as in the successive times coinciding with water changes, always cut the stem bases for half a centimeter and recommended way to stem diagonally (at bezel). The cut is made clean and avoiding 'chew' the shear zone. The reason is to renew the cuts and thus facilitate better absorption of new water. And because of the diagonal cut ... is twofold: firstly get more absorption surface and the other, preventing the stem rest fully and directly on the vase, avoiding the obstruction of water intake area.
Once the Anthurium andreanum in the vase, we have the foresight to put in a place with good lighting but not direct sunlight incidence (eg, from a window). This will favor keeping the intensity of their colors. Obviously try to avoid exposure in areas with strong air currents such as near radiators or heating output of air conditioners, doors to the outside, and so on.
So with these simple care as a cut flower Anthurium andreanum, Its maximum durability is assured.

Lily, Lilium
- Scientific or Latin name: Lilium spp.
- Common or usual name: Lily, Lilium, martagon.
- Family: Liliaceae (Lily).
- The genus Lilium comprises about 100 species distributed throughout the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, a dozen of them are indigenous to Europe and two in North America, while 50-60 species occur in Asia.
- Most interesting are Lilium longiflorum lily, with white flowers and the hybrids produced from crosses between various species, mainly Lilium Lilium speciosum and auratum, with bright colors ranging from red to yellow.
- Trumpet-like flowers is the lily.
- Azucena emits a very intense aroma, especially at night.
- Not all varieties of lilies are fragrant, but two that have a strong odor, Lilium candidum and Lilium regale.
- The main colors are white, orange, purple, pink and yellow, plus the various shades and combinations thereof, especially among some hybrids.
- The lilies usually bloom from spring (May in the Northern Hemisphere), reaching their summer peak, and lasted until late summer.
- The bulb and the oil extracted from it may be taken for medicinal uses.
- The lily is a bulbous plant that reaches a certain height (1 m) so that patches should be surrounded by mulch.
- The lily is widely grown for cut flowers. They keep their freshness and fragrance for long.
- White is often associated with purity and therefore is closely related to the bridal bouquets.
- Also can be used as a garden planter.
- Keep in mind that the roots of lily can grow several inches, so if planted in a pot make sure we have enough space to grow.
- Light: once planted, try to keep the soil cool and shaded, and the sun only to give them flowers.

- Once planted, will bloom regularly for a number of years and it is advisable to incorporate perennials terraces.
- Thinning lily bulbs every 3 to 4 years (who remain on earth) and replant them again to obtain new copies.
- Pest AZUCENA (Lilium spp.)
- Crioceras.
- Adults and larvae of beetles Crioceris merdigera or Lilioceris lilii, damaging leaves and buds that are bitten while feeding.
- To monitor the first adult populations that may appear, are treated with pyrethroid insecticides such as deltamethrin, endosulfan, and so on.
- Aphids (Myzus persicae, Aphis gossypii, Aphis fabae).
- This pest causes direct damage lily and are agents of some viral vectors. The attacks are localized in the apical part of the plant, the more tender and budding by the floral underworld.
- Damages caused by feeding adults nutritive sucking of the plant is located both in the lower leaves and in flower buds.
- Seizures may cause significant distortions in leaf and flower buds of the lily.
- Control aphids.
- The pesticide treatments can be applied to aldicarb soil when the apical bud is about 10 cm and foliar spraying of dichlorvos, pirimicarb, methomyl, and so on. when the plant is more adult.
- Bulb mite (Rhizoglyphus echinopus-fum).
- Rhizoglyphus echinopus-fum parasite operates inside the bulb and can even affect the roots.
- Causes a series of injuries that can penetrate beyond the fungal diseases that accelerate the decay of the bulb and plant loss.
- Control.
- Is based on a preventive treatment of lily bulbs before planting.
- To do the bulbs are dipped in a solution containing about 50 cm3 / g of phosphorus insecticide (diazinon), half an hour.
- Trips (Liothrips vaneeckei, Frankliniella occidentalis).
- They highlight two species of thrips affecting Lilium plants.
- The first is Liothrips vaneeckei that develops in the scales of the bulbs, planted or stored. It causes wrinkling of the epidermis of the scales, which take a brown color.
- Frankliniella occidentalis transmitter acts as a viral agent.
- Also cause direct damage such as pitting and lily stained flower buds, shortened internodes, birth flower and so on.
- Control.
- Is performed by spraying with endosulfan and methiocarb both the plant and soil.
- Heat treatments are recommended bulbs to 43.5 º C.
- DISEASES OF THE AZUCENA (Lilium spp.).
- Rhizoctonia solani.
- Produces soft brown rot on the bulb. Roots will develop shortly, drying the lower leaves if the attack is weak and, if intense, dry all the leaves and even flower buds.
- Should be eliminated affected lily bulbs and prevent sanitized before planting.
- Phytophthora parasitica or Phytophthora nicotianae.
- Produces a dark mauve spot at the base of the stem, which is spreading upward, the lower leaves turning yellow. It also produces brown spots on the stem that breaks easily.
- Control.
- Disinfection lily bulb can reduce the incidence of the disease.
- In cultivation treatments are performed captafol, metalaxyl, fosetyl, in sprays directed to the neck of the plant.
- Pythium ultimum.
- Produce the putrefaction of lily roots with light brown spots. When the attack comes a mild growth retardation, but when severe it affected the whole plant, including flower buds that dry up and fall.
- Control.
- To treat these products use the same as above.
- Botrytis or gray mold (Botrytis elliptica, Botrytis cinerea).
- Attacks the whole plant (leaves, stems and flowers), producing brown spots more or less rounded.
- On leaves round spots appear first, then reddish yellow to pinkish-brown border.
- The leaves, if the weather is dry, wither and dry and, conversely, if the humidity is high, the spots spread to invade the entire worksheet, which covers gray mold and eventually rot, stems as well as invaded.
- The leaves and stems of diseased lily plants should be collected and burned.
- Control.
- There must control the humidity of the greenhouse.
- When watering will avoid wetting the leaves to prevent fungal growth and if environmental conditions so warrant, shall apply fungicide treatments.
- The products used are inclozolina, procymidone, iprodione, and so on.
- Necrotic spot virus of the lily (LSV).
- It is one of the most serious diseases of Lilium.
