Houseplant of the month
In July the `Houseplant of the month´ is the Celosia, a member of the amaranth family. With its colours and extravagantly shaped flowers Celosia is an eye-catching character with an almost sensual look. The plant comes in various forms: with flaming torches, narrow spikes or a fairytale comb that looks like a brain. Celosia has a light spicy scent and the colours are dazzling. It grows in tropical regions all over the world and symbolises boldness.
Flower Agenda
The `Flower Agenda´ focusses on summer flowers in July. The gladiolus, snapdragon and sunflower are a powerful trio. The gladiolus originates from Africa and is available in almost every colour of the rainbow. The name symbolises strength and victory. Snapdragon originates from southern Europe and North Africa. It is available in many colours and stem lengths. Alongside the single-coloured varieties we are increasingly seeing bicoloured and multicoloured flowers in the range. The sunflower (Helianthus) originally came from the southern and western United States. Helianthus derives its name from the Greek words for sun (Helios) and flower (Anthos). The sunflower is known in its classic yellow incarnation, but there are also cream, brown, orange and even bicoloured versions.
