History & Meaning of Yellow Roses:

 

With their optimistic hue and general association with good cheer, yellow roses are the perfect way to toast friends, lift spirits and send a general wish for well-being. And that’s great news for those who love roses—the rose is known for its simple, architectural beauty, but some colors are so loaded with significance that they can be a bit tricky to work with. Sending a get-well bouquet of red roses to your administrative assistant might raise eyebrows around the office, for instance. Suffice it to say, you can never go wrong with yellow roses.

 

Long associated with the sun and its life-giving warmth, yellow is the age-old spokes-color for warm feelings of friendship and optimism. In many Eastern cultures, the color represents joy, wisdom and power. But while any yellow flower will send a lighthearted message, the history of the yellow rose in particuar has an optimistic, serendipitous character that really makes it the complete package.

 

By the 18th century the worldwide love of roses was in full swing, but they were only cultivated in shades of pink and white. At last, the elusive yellow rose was discovered growing wild in the Middle East, and the European love affair with yellow roses was born. The early yellow rose lacked the sweet scent for which the rose is famous, however, which was not to be tolerated. So, as cultivation methods were developed and refined, the beloved sweet-and-spicy rose scent was soon introduced and the yellow rose achieved all its optimistic and aromatic glory.

By basics I mean life's simple pleasures symbolized by wheat, the staff of life. I'm just coming out of a nasty flu, and have been home coughing and keeping warm for the past 5 days.

 

The wheat captured in the Judean foothills is a favorite archived nature image, and here I applied sepia and a mild oil painting tool.

*Working Towards a Better World

 

I am horrified to read statistics from books, magazines, newspapers, the internet and also hear on the radio and see on the television that mankind throughout the world ignores the most precious thing in their lives, their children, who are being sexually abused in huge numbers throughout the world.

Surely that which is most important to us, we can protect from predators, by finding a better way to protect our children from this awful behavior which ruins them for life in many cases. There is a tremendous amount of child slavery still going on including in the United States and Europe, this is a disgrace and we have to come to terms with this type of behavior, no child, wherever they are from should have to be treated in this despicable, inhumane, hateful and cruel way!!! We the people of the world have to put a stop to it NOW, it is in no way acceptable.

We have to act and give our children a chance for a good life, filled with love, friendship, hard work, support, care, good health and education, we can and must make a difference!

(unranked): Monocots

Order: Asparagales

Family: Ruscaceae

Genus: Dracaena

Species: D. sanderiana

Binomial name: Dracaena sanderiana

 

If you are looking for a plant that is beautiful, easy to grow and symbolizes good fortune,

a Lucky Bamboo plant is the perfect choice. Known as Lucky Bamboo for centuries, this tough

resilient plant is actually Dracaena sanderiana, a member of the lily family. A tropical plant,

it is native to the rain forests of Cameroon, Africa and Southeast Asia.

 

Lucky Bamboo and Feng Shui:

 

One of the most popular feng shui cures, Lucky Bamboo activates stagnant energy and enhances the flow of

positive energy, or auspicious chi, throughout your home or workplace.

An important part of feng shui, lucky bamboo plants are

said to bring good luck and fortune, especially if the plants were given as gifts.

It is important to take proper care of your Lucky Bamboo ensuring its health and vitality.

A strong symbol of good luck, Lucky Bamboo signifies good fortune, health and prosperity.

Used in feng shui, a plant usually has a combination of all the five elements which include:

 

* Wood - The bamboo plant

* Earth - The stones or pebbles

* Metal - The container itself (if it is made of glass is a metal element) or you can attach a small

metal figure or coin to the container

* Water - The water in which the Lucky Bamboo plant grows

* Fire - A red ribbon tied around the bamboo stalks or the container itself

 

The Meaning of the Number of Stalks:

 

Each beautiful arrangement of Lucky Bamboo has a specific number of stalks.

According to traditions dating from the ancient Chinese, the number of stalks in a bamboo arrangement

has a significant meaning and affects different areas of your life.

 

* One stalk - A meaningful and simple life and overall good fortune

* Two stalks - Happy relationships, luck in love and double luck

* Three stalks - Happiness, prosperity and longevity

* Three stalks with a curly stalk in the middle - Wealth (the curly stalk signifies money)

* Four stalks - Creativity and successful academic achievement and good luck with love

* Five stalks - A balance of good luck in all aspects of life, a life of happiness, each stalk

represents one of the five parts of life.

* Six stalks - A flow of good luck, easy money and wealth from favorable conditions

* Twenty-one stalks - Offers an all purpose blessing that is very powerful

* A Lucky Log - Lucky Bamboo leaves keep sprouting from the log signifying a strong life.

This is a popular way of wishing someone a strong successful life or a prosperous business.

 

Lucky or not, bamboo or not, a Lucky Bamboo plant is very elegant and attractive, and extremely easy to care for.

 

These tough stalks can survive in vases of pure water or in soil, and in a wide variety of light conditions.

Even a poorly kept lucky bamboo plant will live for a long time before it finally succumbs.

 

Light: Lucky bamboo prefer bright, filtered sunlight, such as found under a rain forest canopy.

Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. They are more tolerant of too little light

than too much.

Watering: Lucky bamboo can grow indefinitely in a simple vase filled with pebbles (for support) and

at least an inch of water. However, they are very sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals

commonly found in tap water. Water your lucky bamboo only with bottled or distilled water,

or tap water that has been left out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate.

Healthy lucky bamboo roots are red, so don't be alarmed in a glass vase if you can see red roots.

Finally, good hygiene recommends that you change the water weekly.

Temperature: Lucky bamboo likes warmer temperatures of between 65ºF and 90ºF. Do not place the plants in

front of air conditioning or heating vents.

Potting Media: In addition to water, lucky bamboo can be grown in a well-drained, rich potting soil.

Keep the soil moist, but not soaking.

Fertilizer: Plants grown in water will only need to be fed every other month or so,

using a very weak liquid fertilizer. A single drop of liquid fertilizer is plenty for most

lucky bamboo arrangements. Alternatively, specialty lucky bamboo fertilizers are available.

 

Curly Lucky Bamboo Stalks

Lucky Bamboo stalks do not naturally grow with curls, spirals or waves. To get straight stalks to grow

into exotic and fancy shapes, growers use special techniques that force the stalks to grow in various

directions.

 

Dracaena sanderiana is a species of the genus Dracaena. The species was named after the German-English

gardener, Henry Frederick Conrad Sander (1847-1920). It is also known as Dracaena braunii,

Ribbon Dracaena, Lucky Bamboo, Belgian Evergreen or sometimes Ribbon Plant.

I've finally gotten back into a regular exercise regimen, but I'm still waiting for that great feeling so many people claim to have after they exercise. I still hate it, but it makes me feel better about eating chocolate. :~)

Life is a Journey, not a destination

 

It is important that we enjoy that journey, life is about living

Be kind to others and do no harm to none

Respect our fellow travellers from, all creeds and byways

 

Sometimes the journey will be uphill, and life is hard

Often it is downhill, where life is lots of fun

May your journey be full of pleasure and much enjoyment!

 

Sadly, we lose some dear friends and family along the way

Beware, life’s journey passes by so quickly, life is relatively short

Consequently, we must enjoy our travels and live life to the fullest

 

Our arrival is not something to aspire to!

The journey is full of success and happiness, with some mistakes, sorrow and grief

Enjoy your journey and appreciate each mile travelled

 

May your New Year be a happy junction in life!

Wishing that you’re Twenty Twenty 2020, will be a special trip:

With much Fun, Good Health, Happiness and Prosperity

 

Happy New Year my fellow Macro Monday officanados.

 

I thought I'd start the year with a new experiment and new learnings; that being image of photo stacking (aka focus stacking).

A balanced diet with low glycemic index foods and snacks should prevent you form ever having to deal with these little instruments of torture. They are blood lancets, used to prick your finger to test blood for sugar levels, a part of every day life for millions of diabetes sufferers. So don't you think eating low sugar foods and snacks is better than sticking needles in your fingers several times a day?

This is a popular way of wishing someone a strong successful life or a prosperous business.

 

Lucky or not, bamboo or not, a Lucky Bamboo plant is very elegant and attractive, and extremely easy to care for.

 

These tough stalks can survive in vases of pure water or in soil, and in a wide variety of light conditions.

Even a poorly kept lucky bamboo plant will live for a long time before it finally succumbs.

 

Light: Lucky bamboo prefer bright, filtered sunlight, such as found under a rain forest canopy.

Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. They are more tolerant of too little light

than too much.

Watering: Lucky bamboo can grow indefinitely in a simple vase filled with pebbles (for support) and

at least an inch of water. However, they are very sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals

commonly found in tap water. Water your lucky bamboo only with bottled or distilled water,

or tap water that has been left out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate.

Healthy lucky bamboo roots are red, so don't be alarmed in a glass vase if you can see red roots.

Finally, good hygiene recommends that you change the water weekly.

Temperature: Lucky bamboo likes warmer temperatures of between 65ºF and 90ºF. Do not place the plants in

front of air conditioning or heating vents.

Potting Media: In addition to water, lucky bamboo can be grown in a well-drained, rich potting soil.

Keep the soil moist, but not soaking.

Fertilizer: Plants grown in water will only need to be fed every other month or so,

using a very weak liquid fertilizer. A single drop of liquid fertilizer is plenty for most

lucky bamboo arrangements. Alternatively, specialty lucky bamboo fertilizers are available.

 

Curly Lucky Bamboo Stalks

Lucky Bamboo stalks do not naturally grow with curls, spirals or waves. To get straight stalks to grow

into exotic and fancy shapes, growers use special techniques that force the stalks to grow in various

directions.

Finally, good hygiene recommends that you change the water weekly.

Temperature: Lucky bamboo likes warmer temperatures of between 65ºF and 90ºF. Do not place the plants in

front of air conditioning or heating vents.

Potting Media: In addition to water, lucky bamboo can be grown in a well-drained, rich potting soil.

Keep the soil moist, but not soaking.

Fertilizer: Plants grown in water will only need to be fed every other month or so,

using a very weak liquid fertilizer. A single drop of liquid fertilizer is plenty for most

lucky bamboo arrangements. Alternatively, specialty lucky bamboo fertilizers are available.

 

Curly Lucky Bamboo Stalks

Lucky Bamboo stalks do not naturally grow with curls, spirals or waves. To get straight stalks to grow

into exotic and fancy shapes, growers use special techniques that force the stalks to grow in various

directions.

positive energy, or auspicious chi, throughout your home or workplace.

said to bring good luck and fortune, especially if the plants were given as gifts.

* Wood - The bamboo plant

* Earth - The stones or pebbles

* Metal - The container itself (if it is made of glass is a metal element) or you can attach a small

metal figure or coin to the container

* Water - The water in which the Lucky Bamboo plant grows

* Fire - A red ribbon tied around the bamboo stalks or the container itself

According to traditions dating from the ancient Chinese, the number of stalks in a bamboo arrangement

has a significant meaning and affects different areas of your life.

 

* One stalk - A meaningful and simple life and overall good fortune

* Two stalks - Happy relationships, luck in love and double luck

* Three stalks - Happiness, prosperity and longevity

* Three stalks with a curly stalk in the middle - Wealth (the curly stalk signifies money)

* Four stalks - Creativity and successful academic achievement and good luck with love

* Five stalks - A balance of good luck in all aspects of life, a life of happiness, each stalk

represents one of the five parts of life.

* Six stalks - A flow of good luck, easy money and wealth from favorable conditions

* Seven stalks - Good luck in relationships; good health

* Eight stalks - Fertility and good luck to thrive and grow

* A Lucky Log - Lucky Bamboo leaves keep sprouting from the log signifying a strong life.

This is a popular way of wishing someone a strong successful life or a prosperous business.

 

Lucky or not, bamboo or not, a Lucky Bamboo plant is very elegant and attractive, and extremely easy to care for.

 

These tough stalks can survive in vases of pure water or in soil, and in a wide variety of light conditions.

Even a poorly kept lucky bamboo plant will live for a long time before it finally succumbs.

 

Light: Lucky bamboo prefer bright, filtered sunlight, such as found under a rain forest canopy.

Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. They are more tolerant of too little light

than too much.

Watering: Lucky bamboo can grow indefinitely in a simple vase filled with pebbles (for support) and

at least an inch of water. However, they are very sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals

commonly found in tap water. Water your lucky bamboo only with bottled or distilled water,

or tap water that has been left out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate.

Healthy lucky bamboo roots are red, so don't be alarmed in a glass vase if you can see red roots.

Finally, good hygiene recommends that you change the water weekly.
