Tulip bulbs were more valuable than gold in Holland (The Netherlands) in the 1600s.

Anthurium has the longest blooming flowers.
This tropical plant produces pretty white, pink, maroon or orange flowers that can bloom up to eight weeks.

The types of wild flowers that grown in verges by roadsides are ones that like high nitrogen content, they get it from the exhaust fumes. Do you think when we get more electric cars there might be less cow parsley and more diversity of other wayside flowers?

Depends on how invasive cow parsley may become.

They are talking of using ammonia in combustion engines (NH3), it can burn to nitrogen and water, or NO or NO2 depending on the circumstances, wonder what that will do?

Ok, evolutionary adaptations of cow parsley comes into picture. I appreciate your thoughts.

Why is a daylily called a daylily?
Because each flower lasts a day.
What is a Poeticus Daffodil?
Not so sure of this one, are the petals arranged in pentameters? :) It is what I call 'pheasant eye', so it is not because they make 'Hosts of golden daffodils'. And I would call it a narcissus rather than a daffodil.

Sunflowers, poppies, and petunias are some of the fastest growing flowers.
