There are varying opinions

as to the origin of

Valentine's Day.

What we know is that

over time February 14

has been set aside to honour St. Valentine and has

become the date for exchanging love messages and

a celebration of St. Valentine, the patron saint of lovers.

The date is marked by sending poems and simple gifts,

such as flowers, to loved ones and secret loves.

By far, Valentine's Day Flowers are the most popular

gift today.

For Valentine's day,

at Lavender & Lilacs,

we will be offering a beautiful,

selection of floral gifts.

Are you curious about how this holiday started??(well, it is "non-official" holiday but......)Here's the history for you.....Harry F Klemfuss, a New York publicist along with the National Secretary association in the year 1952 created the National Secretary's week so as to appreciate the work of secretaries and encourage more people into the profession. The National secretary week was held on the first week of June from June1 to 7 and June 4th was celebrated as the secretary day. Three years later in 1955, the observance of the week was moved to the last full week of April and the Wednesday in the week was decided as the secretary day. The name of the week has been changed twice; in 1981 it came to be called the Professional Secretary Week and in the year 2000 it got named the Administrative Professional Week as it is called up to the day. The change in name was to encompass the expanding responsibility and titles associated with the role of professional support staff.

Happy Administrative Professional Week, everyone!!

Congratulations to all Graduates!!

Tulip Special

2010-01-14T22:34:00.001-08:00

Just to brighten

your weekend......

Why don't you

Stop at L&L for

a Tulip Special?

10 stems of colorful Tulips dressed up

with Lemon Leaves (Salal) and

Bear Grass

L&L Special $9.99 (+GST&PST)

Did you know.....?

Many professional florists, including

us, would suggest using cold straight

water for Bulb plants/flowers such as

Tulips. Perhaps the sugar contained

preservatives encourage bacterial

growth, the key to success (making

them last longer) is;

1) Using clean vases

2) Keeping water clean (refill)

3) Placing it in the coolest room in your

house.

A vase of fresh tulips is both

elegant and colorful, but cut tulips are

noted for having minds of their own.

No tulip arrangement will remain

the same day after day.

Allow for these changes and enjoy

the varied display before you.

Tulips continue to grow in water

after they have been cut, lengthening

at least one inch and possibly up to

six inches!!

Tulips are heliotropic and twist to

follow the sun during the day.

The tulip flowers open and close with

the rising and setting of the sun.

Their heavy blooms also feel the pull

of gravity and tend to droop down.

Environment Canada says a temperature of

33.8 C was recorded at Vancouver airport

on Wednesday, shattering the previous high

of 33.3 C that was set in 1960.

Abbotsford beat their all-time record as well.

The previous record was 37.9 C and they

reached 38.0 C. A number of municipalities

throughout the province set daily records.

Victoria reached 35.0 C, besting the old mark

of 31.1 C.

Port Alberni hit 40.0 C, with the previous record

being 37.8 C.

Bella Coola reached 41.2 C, bettering the

previous high of 34.3 C that was set in 1898

Here's a tip to cope with this heat;

Drink a lot of fluids,

stay hydrated and just keep

yourself protected from the sun.

Carry a water bottle. Kids and pets

need to be hydrated more than you!!

Enjoy hot sunny days!!

Having Green Plants
around you is
a good thing!

One university program has led

discovery about the role of

houseplants indoors.

20% off (July21-28)

In addition we will extend our special offer;

get $1.00 off on purchasing

RainGrow (Organic Fertilizer)

with your Tropical Plants!!

Here is an interesting study from
a university in North America:

"NASA has been researching methods
of cleansing the atmosphere in future
space stations to keep them fit for
human habitation over extended periods
of time.

They've found that many common
houseplants and blooming potted
plants help fight pollution indoors!

They're reportedly able to scrub
significant amounts of harmful gases
out of the air, through the everyday
processes of photosynthesis.

Some pollutants are also absorbed
and rendered harmless in the soil.
Plant physiologists already knew
that plants absorb carbon dioxide
and release oxygen as part of the
photosynthetic process.

Now researchers have found many
common houseplants absorb benzene,
formaldehyde and trichloroethylene,
as well. But there are enough known
plants that do a good job of removing
pollutants from the air we breathe
to cause us to view houseplants as
more than just an attractive feature
in decorating the interior environment.

These are three of the worst offenders
found in relatively new homes and offices.
Newer buildings are constructed largely
with man-made building materials and
furnished with synthetic carpeting,
fabrics, laminated counters, plastic coated
wallpaper, and other materials known to
"off-gas" pollutants into the interior
environment.

The advent of the "energy crisis"
a number of years back has increased
the problems associated with indoor
pollutants. Newly constructed buildings
are better insulated and sealed tightly
to conserve heat or air-conditioning.
While it does save both money and
energy, this new found efficiency has
its downside in that pollutants may
be trapped indoors and have less
opportunity to dissipate to the
outside.

The phrase coined to describe this
unfortunate result is "sick building
syndrome." If your home is old
enough to be leaky and drafty, you
may not need to worry about
"sick-building syndrome." But if you
live in a newer, energy-efficient home
with windows and doors tightly sealed,
or you work in a building where the air
feels stale and circulation seems poor,
the liberal use of houseplants seems
like an easy way to help make a dent
in the problem.

NASA scientists studied nineteen
different plant species for two years.
Of the specimens studied, only two
were primarily flowering plants;
chrysanthemums and gerbera daisies.
Though commonly used to bring a
touch of color indoors, particularly for
holidays and special occasions, these plants
are generally not kept indoors very long.

After they're through blooming they're
usually discarded or planted outdoors.
Most of the plants tested are "true"
houseplants, kept indoors year-round
in our climate, though they may be
placed outdoors during warm summer
months.

Because of this, their leaf composition
allows them to photosynthesize efficiently
under relatively low light conditions, which
in turn allows them to process gasses
in the air efficiently. Soil and roots were
also found to play an important role in
removing air-borne pollutants.

Micro-organisms in the soil become more
adept at using trace amounts of these
materials as a food source, as they were
exposed to them for longer periods of time.

Their effectiveness is increased if lower l
eaves that cover the soil surface are removed,
so there is as much soil contact with the air
as possible. Best results were obtained with
small fans that pulled air through a charcoal
filter in the soil, cleaning more than foliage
could alone or in combination with a "passive"
pot of soil. Even without the fan and filter,
however, houseplants did remove trace
pollutants from the air.

The NASA studies generated the
recommendation that you use 15 to 18
good-sized houseplants in 6 to 8-inch
diameter containers to improve air quality
in an average 1,800 square foot house.
The more vigorously they grow, the better
job they'll do for you. With the exception of
dwarf banana, a fairly unusual plant in this
area, the bulk of the list of plants NASA tested
reads like a "Who's Who" of the interior
plant world.

They are:
Ficus benjamina(Weeping fig)
Hedera helix English ivy
Chlorophytum comosum spider plant
Epipiremnum aureum golden pothos
Spathiphyllum `Mauna Loa' peace lily
Aglaonema modestum Chinese evergreen
Chamaedorea sefritzii bamboo or reed palm
Sansevieria trifasciata snake plant
Philodendron scandens `oxycardium' heartleaf philodendron
Philodendron selloum selloum philodendron
Philodendron domesticum elephant ear philodendron
Dracaena marginata red-edged dracaena
Dracaena fragrans `Massangeana' cornstalk dracaena
Dracaena deremensis `Janet Craig' Janet Craig dracaena
Dracaena deremensis `Warneckii' Warneck dracaena

RainGrow Organic Fertilizer 4-2-3

Did you know that we are only

one of 2 stores in downtown

Vancouver where you can

purchase these great

all purpose Organic Fertilizers.?

We have been using RainGrow 4-2-3 on

our Weekly Plant Maintenance

and getting remarkable results.

Let us introduce you to RainGrow

RainGrow 4-2-3 is an all purpose plant food processed from concentrated compost emulsion utilizing key nutrientsextracted from organic poultry emulsion(!!) and natural plantcomponents resulting in a highly effective, suprisingly pleasant and easy to use product. It is proven effective for both houseplants and yard and garden plants making it versatile & convenient. It contains all 3 of the most important macronutrients for plantgrowth and health, namely, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It also contains small amounts of Eucalyptus and Tea Tree extractswhich act as natural preservatives and has the added benefit of giving the product a great smell making it pleasant for indoor use.Saponins result in slight forming of the product which is normal.
Learn more about this product? Please visit RainGrow.com

Here are some great tips how-to-grow PHAL!

Watering:

l Water when medium has begun to dry but is still damp.

l Water thoroughly, make sure it’s not sitting in the water.

l Use room temperature or warmer water.

l Avoid leaving water standing in the crown of the plant

as this causes fatal rot.

l Fertilize “Weakly & Weekly” with a balanced fertilizer

such as Raingrow Organic Fertilizer, in spring & summer

then reduce in autumn and winter.

Lights:

l Low to medium light levels is appropriate.

l Leaves should be a medium green, not yellowish or

dark green. A dark red blush covering the top of the

leaves means too much light. One to two hours of

sunshine on a windowsill (East recommended).

Humidity & Temperature :

l Phal do best with 60-70% humidity, but will grow and bloom,

although more slowly and with fewer and smaller flowers,

in lower humidity. Grow Phal in warm temperatures with 18°C

minimum winter nights (except if forcing flowering) and 32°C

summer day maximum.

l Ensure 6-12°C day/night difference to aid flower formation.

Moth orchids usually bloom annually and the flowers last for

several months!

l If buds turning yellow, wilting and falling prior to opening is

from not enough energy in the plant to open the flower either

because the light is too dim, the plant is too small, or the roots

have rotted. Also caused by ethylene gas (produced by

ripening fruit), or too great a temperature variation.
