Zinna Beautifull Flower pictures

When a horticulturist goes on vacation not only do they go to relax and have a good time, but they also seem to find, or make time, to wander into nurseries, botanic gardens or other places, in order to get their “plant fix,” said Greg Stack, a University of Illinois horticulturist.

Such is the case with Stack, who happened to visit several growers and suppliers to nurseries and garden centers. While there, he took full advantage to “peek over the fence” to see what was new and exciting. Here are a few things Stack notes to look for in 2009.

ZaharaNew for 2009 will be a series of zinnias called ‘Zahara’. They come in white and pink but also for the first time a scarlet and yellow. These are outstanding garden performers with high disease tolerance to mildew. They grow to neat mounds 12-18 inches high and as wide. They are outstanding performers for the full sun landscape and once established are drought-tolerant with low water needs. The single flowers are about 2-1/2 inches in diameter. ‘Zahara’ zinnias were chosen for use in gardens at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

White Alstroemeria flowers

A rose wrist corsage was the favorite choice of most brides when I worked as a wedding florist. It seems both moms and grandmas love the old-fashioned elegance of roses. But there are so many varieties to choose from that yours can truly look original!

Yards of sheer ribbon add volume to this lovely corsage - it only contains two roses! See the intricate detailing of the pearl headed pins centered in each rose and the addition of "wire" leaves.
I love this wristlet!! An exotic black rose is complimented by two Gloriosa lilies. The foliage is Lamb's Ear and the accents are made with Oasis Two-Tone Twist Wire.

This elegant wrist flower is mounted on a pearl flower bracelet. Luxerious sprays of pearls and sheer yellow ribbon are clustered around two yellow spray roses.
White flowers are such a classical look. Loops of ribbon cluster around white alstroemeria, button pomps, freesia and white spray roses.

Alstroemeria Hybrida

Deciduous types. For many years, deciduous alstroemerias were the only ones readily available as garden subjects. The seed-grown Ligtu hybrids and Dr. Salter’s hybrids have azalea-like flowers in beautiful, edible-sounding colors— orange, peach, shrimp, salmon— as well as red and near-white; all types are flecked and striped with deeper colors.

Evergreen. These include series such as Meyer, Cordu, Premier, and Inca. They vary in height and come in many colors, mostly in the purple–pink–red range with dark flecks. Usually sold by color; buy in bloom. New hybrids show up constantly, some root-hardy to 0°F/–18°C. Check with local nurseries for availability.
They produce leafy shoots 2–5 ft. tall in late winter and into spring; as these shoots begin to brown, the flowering shoots appear, with blooms following in early to midsummer. If allowed to set seed, they will self-sow. Plants go dormant after bloom and need no water unless winter rains fail. They naturalize where winters are not severe. Sow seeds in fall,winter, or earliest spring, either where plants are to grow or in pots for later planting out.
