Dahlia has a rich symbolism: the flower stands for wealth and elegance, and also for love and involvement. It’s a perfect flower to express your love! For the Aztecs, Dahlia was a religious symbol, besides food the flower was used in different types of ceremonies. Colors, Shapes, and Availability How many beautiful colors do you want to have? There is so much choice, from the gorgeous Black Fox to Café Au Lait (peach). Every year, there is more and more choice. Not only in color, but also in petal and flowerhead shape. There are now more than 1000 species, and we can divide those into single and double flowering. Beautiful pompon and ball dahlias, or the totally different (semi) cactus Dahlias. This flower always amazes you! Normally a fall flower, but luckily for us now available from March till September.

Immortality
by Lindsay Laurie
Mortal are us human kind
seeking peace with baited breath.
Immortality imparts the mind
to believe there is no death.
Immortality is really history …
writings from the then times wealth.
Replayed in a similar mode
as history repeats itself.
Each tiny fraction of the puzzle,
is ancient generations text,
leads the way to consider
what right now is needed next …
Each year reaches new horizons,
the past has been addressed -
and we live our life believing,
our time is the very best.

Great wealth often comes from exploitation, child labor, weapons and drug dealing. Not always but often ...

Slow down
Girl, let me love you
Darling, I care
I care for you
More than my own self
Darling, I'll share
I'll share with you
All goodness and wealth
Seh we can have just one night
Or we can one whole life
If we play it cool, yeah
We can have that one thing
Or we can have everything
If our hearts are true
Girl, slow down
Girl, let me love you
Darling, slow down
Let me get to know you
Baby, I've been fantasizing
Just looking in your eyes
You know I'm looking for more
And you're what I've been praying for
This kind of love don't come around like this
I'm not one to play around like this, it's so real
And I love how it feels

Saint-Malo est une commune française située en Bretagne, dans le département d'Ille-et-Vilaine, et le principal port de la côte nord de Bretagne.
Le fort National est un bastion situé sur une île de Saint-Malo. L'île est accessible à marée basse. Le fort fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis mai 1906, son mur d'enceinte d'un classement en août 1913. Aujourd’hui privé, le fort appartient à une vieille famille bretonne.
Anciennement appelé « fort Royal » et aussi « fort Impérial » (durant les années du Premier et du Second Empire), l'actuel fort National a été construit en 1689 par l’ingénieur Siméon Garangeau d’après les plans de Vauban et sur les ordres du Roi Louis XIV, en même temps que les remparts de Saint-Malo étaient renforcés, dont il assurait la défense.
Le fort est construit sur le rocher de l'Îlette. Ce site abritait à l'origine un feu de signalisation allumé la nuit pour servir de phare. L'Îlette était également un lieu d'exécutions publiques pour la seigneurie de Saint-Malo, où l'on brûlait les criminels. Plus tard, un gibet y fut installé. Une maquette conservée au musée d'histoire de Saint-Malo suggère qu'une batterie d'artillerie aurait pu occuper le site avant la construction du fort de Vauban.
Saint-Malo is a historic French port commune in Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany.The walled city on the English Channel coast has a long history of piracy, earning much wealth from local extortion and overseas adventures.
Fort National is a fort on a tidal island a few hundred metres off the walled city of Saint-Malo. The great military architect Vauban had it built in 1689 to protect Saint-Malo's port.
The fort was originally called Fort Royal. In 1789 the fort's name became Fort d'Îlette or Républicain, then Fort Impérial and, after 1870, Fort National.
The fort stands on l'Îlette rock. This was originally the site of a beacon that was lit at night to act as a lighthouse. Îlette was also a place of public executions for the seigniory of Saint Malo, which burnt criminals there. Later a gallows occupied the site. A model in Saint-Malo's history museum suggests that a battery may have occupied the site before the erection of the Vauban fort.

From being a backwater fishing village at the turn of the 20th Century, with mostly bamboo hut dwellings known as “kampong houses,” Singapore now has some of the most modern and unique architecture anywhere in the world. The city state’s commercial success has provided it with the wealth to not only preserve many historical buildings, but also develop some very iconic modern structures, such as the floating Apple Store, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, and the ArtScience Museum, set among lofty skyscrapers.
The contemporary buildings have been developed with a view to enhance Singapore’s reputation as the Garden City, and maximize the tropical vegetation coverage, whether it is on pedestrian bridges or rooftop gardens. This effort dilutes the concrete jungle feel that most urban centers have, and encourages people to walk rather than jump into a car for every little trip.
Culross, Scotland
Culross has been a religious site since the 6th century. By the 13th century, there was a grand abbey at the top of the hill, with the village of Culross below. Today, Culross Abbey is in ruins but the town, which is cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, is spectacular example of a 16th century burgh.
In the 1500s, Culross was a thriving port, bringing such great wealth to one local laird and merchant, he built a palace for his family to live in. Today, ochre-coloured Culross Palace, with its perfectly recreated 16th century gardens, is one of the many highlights of a visit to the village. The nearby Town House, overlooking the Forth, was once Culross’ court and jail, with criminals kept in the cell while witches were incarcerated in the attic.
Culross regularly appeared in Outlander as Cranesmuir, with the village’s Mercat Cross and surrounding buildings instantly recognisable to fans of the hit TV series
Wikipedia states..."Chives, (scientific name...Schoenoprasum), is an edible species of the genus Allium. Its close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, scallion, and Chinese onion."
What I know about this beautiful plant is that the bees love to traverse the hills and valleys of this flower. Once the bloom has faded, you'll find tiny black seeds inside the folds of each blossom. What a great way to spread the wealth. Life is wonderful that way!
Stay close. Wait for the trickle-down effect. You know that there is a very good reason, they say, that governments should help the rich to get richer even easier and much faster. Yes, it is the trickle-down effect. One day, eventually that is, some of the new wealth will trickle down into my watering can and make me rich too. I live in hope. And I am staying ever so close to my watering can. Helios 44M-7 manual lens at F2, one LED lamp.
‘A tranquil haven, the house and grounds remain secluded from the outside world and one of the most magical locations in England’ www.porteliot.co.uk/gardens
Port Eliot is the ancestral home of the Eliot family, Earls of St Germans. The house has roots as ancient as the 5th century AD, making it one of the oldest buildings in continuous habitation in the UK. In the 18th century Port Eliot House was constructed around these earlier remains.
Rising high up on Bodmin Moor, the river Lyhner winds its way over granite, sandstone, slate and clay to join the Tamar in Plymouth Sound 20 miles later. The main tributary of the Lynher is the river Tiddy. It rises near Pensilva in S.E. Cornwall and flows south east, past the village of Tideford until it joins the Lynher just after passing St Germans.
In the early 18th century, the Eliot family decided to create a park in keeping with their wealth and status. They dammed the estuary, diverting the watercourse, and built a winding drive two miles long to follow the water's edge. The drive winds through carefully designed parkland before you emerge to find a stunning view of the mansion side by side with St German's Priory.
In the late 18th century, the house was remodelled again by Sir John Soanes. Around the same time Humphry Repton was laying out the surrounding landscape gardens and park.

Drops of life, the fallen few
Feeding the ground, travelling through
Tears that flowed from Gods eyes
As he watched from the skies
Seeing his once beautiful creation
Sentenced to the cruellest damnation
By human insanity, clothed in flags of hate
Strangling the hope out of fate
Poisoning the body of Earth
Dropping bombs on those fresh from birth
Worshipping at the altar of wealth
Creating slavery with sophistic stealth
Inflicting the cruellest damnation
On the once beautiful creation
Under the never ending, infinite skies
As tears flow from Gods eyes
Cleansing the ground, until salvations seed
Rises high to shelter those in need

Wealth is power. With wealth many things are possible.
George Clason
Power is not all bad, if wielded properly, you can change the world for the better. It gets a bad name from those who abuse it.
For those who may think power is bad, remember the power of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Princess Diana, and others who sought to bring positive changes to the world.
In medieval times the village of Lavenham in Suffolk was one of the richest in England. It thrived on the wool trade in the 15th and 16th centuries when local merchants became very wealthy.
One the ways they could show their wealth was in the building of houses which .has resulted in the village having many half timbered properties that have stood the test of time over many centuries. There are over 200 grade 1 and grade 2 listed structures in the village today.
This house, known as Cordwainers, dates from circa 15th century and is located in the High Street. It is a timber frame and plastered building with grade 2 listed protection. In the past it was the One Bell Inn but is now a private house. I particularly like the different shapes and sizes of the timber beams, the colour of the plasterwork and the blocked up doorway on the right. A magnificent property!

Fountain Of Wealth
Supported by four 13.8 metres high bronze legs and spreading over an area of 1683.07 metres, the Fountain of Wealth has been accorded the status of "World's Largest Fountain" in the 1998 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. It is symbolically the ring in the palm of the hand, guaranteeing the retention of wealth. It is destined to be Singapore's most visited tourist destination.
The plaza would provide a large outdoor space for people to gather. But on its own, it would not achieve sufficient visual impact. A dramatic fountain was proposed as a visual focus. The Fountain Plaza, now the focal point of Suntec City, is also at the heart of the Marina Centre area. Not only is it the hub of circulation within the development, it also draws life from the surrounding buildings. This is why it sits off centre within Suntec City -so that it can be directly connected to its neighbours.
The flowing water from the Fountain is also a potent symbol as water is the essence of life in almost every culture. Located round this symbolic centre of life are the buildings which make up Suntec City. These buildings attract human activity - life - to the area. At ground level, vehicles flow around the fountain plaza while pedestrians flow into the buildings around it. Below ground, at the Fountain Terrace, all the buildings are interconnected by shops and restaurants. The complex is also connected to its neighbours by both underground and street-level pedestrian linkways.
Cardiff Castle (Welsh: Castell Caerdydd) is a medieval castle and Victorian Gothic revival mansion located in the city centre of Cardiff.. The original motte and bailey castle was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of a 3rd-century Roman fort. The castle was commissioned either by William the Conqueror or by Robert Fitzhamon, and formed the heart of the medieval town of Cardiff and the Marcher Lord territory of Glamorgan. In the 12th century the castle began to be rebuilt in stone, probably by Robert of Gloucester, with a shell keep and substantial defensive walls being erected. Further work was conducted by the 6th Earl of Gloucester in the second half of the 13th century. Cardiff Castle was repeatedly involved in the conflicts between the Anglo-Normans and the Welsh, being attacked several times in the 12th century, and stormed in 1404 during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr.
After being held by the de Clare and Despenser families for several centuries, the castle was acquired by The 13th Earl of Warwick and Comte de Aumale in 1423. Lord Warwick conducted extensive work on the castle, founding the main range on the west side of the castle, dominated by a tall octagonal tower. Following the Wars of the Roses, the status of the castle as a Marcher territory was revoked and its military significance began to decline. The Herbert family took over the property in 1550, remodelling parts of the main range and carrying out construction work in the outer bailey, then occupied by Cardiff's Shire Hall and other buildings. During the English Civil War Cardiff Castle was initially taken by a Parliamentary force, but was regained by Royalist supporters in 1645. When fighting broke out again in 1648, a Royalist army attacked Cardiff in a bid to regain the castle, leading to the Battle of St Fagans just outside the city. Cardiff Castle escaped potential destruction by Parliament after the war and was instead garrisoned, probably to protect against a possible Scottish invasion.
In the mid-18th century, Cardiff Castle passed into the hands of the Stuart dynasty, Marquesses of Bute. John, 1st Marquess of Bute, employed Capability Brown and Henry Holland to renovate the main range, turning it into a Georgian mansion, and to landscape the castle grounds, demolishing many of the older medieval buildings and walls. During the first half of the 19th century the family became extremely wealthy as a result of the growth of the coal industry in Glamorgan. However, it was the 3rd Marquess of Bute who truly transformed the castle, using his vast wealth to back an extensive programme of renovations under William Burges. Burges remodelled the castle in a Gothic revival style, lavishing money and attention on the main range. The resulting interior designs are considered to be amongst "the most magnificent that the gothic revival ever achieved". The grounds were re-landscaped and, following the discovery of the old Roman remains, reconstructed walls and a gatehouse in a Roman style were incorporated into the castle design. Extensive landscaped parks were built around the outside of the castle.
In the early 20th century, the 4th Marquess of Bute inherited the castle and construction work continued into the 1920s. The Bute lands and commercial interests around Cardiff were sold off or nationalised until, by the time of the Second World War, little was left except the castle. During the war, extensive air raid shelters were built in the castle walls; they could hold up to 1,800 people. When the 4th Marquess died in 1947, the castle was given to the City of Cardiff.
Today the castle is run as a tourist attraction, with the grounds housing the "Firing Line" regimental museum and interpretation centre. The castle has also served as a venue for events, including musical performances and festivals.
