I had a one-room studio which overlooked an ancient courtyard filled with flowers and plants, blooming everlastingly in the southern sun.

These specialists, I learned, have done a great deal of work to improve the size and health of the plants and the resulting flowers.

her great love of flowers and plants and birds ; ;

A colossal campaign opened to sell more sexual organs of plants and Mrs. Joseph ( `` Shadow of Greatness '' ) Douglas was quoted as saying: `` I would no more sit down without flowers on my table than without serviettes ''.

Asterales ( AST-er-ALE '- eez ) is an order of dicotyledonous flowering plants that includes the large family Asteraceae ( or Compositae ) known for composite flowers made of florets, and ten families related to the Asteraceae.

The genus also contains several well-known ornamental plants, such as Amaranthus caudatus ( love-lies-bleeding ), a native of India and a vigorous, hardy annual with dark purplish flowers crowded in handsome drooping spikes.

Brassicaceae, a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants ( Angiosperms ), are informally known as the mustards, mustard flowers, the crucifers or the cabbage family.

Some other organisms form beneficial relationships with plants, called mutualisms, for example with mycorrhizal fungi that provide nutrients, and honey bees that pollinate flowers.

Angiosperms are seed-producing plants that produce flowers, having enclosed seeds.

Even in his early years, Linnaeus seemed to have a liking for plants, flowers in particular.

Its flowers are attractive to bees, which are important for gardens with an abundance of plants in need of pollination.

The flowers are unisexual, with male and female flowers on different plants ( dioecious ) or on the same plant ( monoecious ).

Aquilegia ( Columbine ) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers.

Digoxigenin ( DIG ) is a steroid found exclusively in the flowers and leaves of the plants D. purpurea and D. lanata.

Some South American plants formerly thought of as Daturas are now treated as belonging to the distinct genus Brugmansia ( Brugmansia differs from Datura in that it is woody, making shrubs or small trees, and in that it has pendulous flowers, rather than erect ones ).

All Datura plants contain tropane alkaloids such as scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine, primarily in their seeds and flowers.

In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance ; useful plants, such as root vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs, are grown for consumption, for use as dyes, or for medicinal or cosmetic use.

Also gaining popularity is the concept of " Green Gardening " which involves growing plants using organic fertilizers and pesticides so that the gardening process-or the flowers and fruits produced thereby-doesn't adversely affect the environment or people's health in any manner.

He homesteaded a claim near Beeler, where he maintained a small conservatory of plants and flowers and a geological collection.

His art teacher, Etta Budd, recognized Carver's talent for painting flowers and plants ; she encouraged him to study botany at Iowa State Agricultural College in Ames.

* Bedlinen, bed covers, pillows / cushions: flowers, plants, precious stones

He says that " the female date-trees or palms do not bear fruit unless the branches of the male and female plants are mixed together ; or, as is generally done, unless the dust found in the male sheath or male flowers is sprinkled over the female flowers ".

The anthophytes were thought to be a clade comprising plants bearing flower-like structures.

Many plants bearing edible fruits, in particular, have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition, respectively ; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.

The group includes a number of plants bearing commercially important fruits, such as apples and pears, while others are cultivated as ornamentals.

The majority of species are monoecious ( bearing male and female flowers on the same plant ), although some are dioecious with male and female flowers occurring on different plants.

Male plants produce small pollen cones with sporophylls each bearing two microsporangia spirally arranged around a central axis.

Anacardiaceae ( the cashew or sumac family ) are a family of flowering plants bearing fruits that are drupes and in some cases producing urushiol, an irritant.

They can be easily grown from seed, but only 50 % of seedlings will be female and hence fruit bearing, and dates from seedling plants are often smaller and of poorer quality.

Raropuka is the creator of medicinal plants ( either herbal or drug plants ) and all fruit bearing plants.

This led to the intensive bombing efforts against ball bearing plants in 1943.

The plants are hardy herbaceous perennials with narrow tufted radical leaves and an elongated stem bearing a handsome spike of white or yellow flowers.

Most plants bearing the common name cypress are in the genera Cupressus and Chamaecyparis, but several other genera in the family also carry the name.

Vibration monitoring programs are proven to warn of impending failure, save money, reduce downtime, and improve safety in plants worldwide by detecting conditions such as wear and tear of bearings, shaft misalignment, rotor imbalance, gear failure or bearing fault which, if not attended to promptly, can lead to costly repairs.

Arnoon had, in plain sight, alien plants living on unsterilized soil bearing edible fruits.

The plants are slow growing and take many years to reach seed bearing maturity, and predominately exist in dense, moist, old growth conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest.

Paleobotany, also spelled as palaeobotany ( from the Greek words paleon = old and " botany ", study of plants ), is the branch of paleontology or paleobiology dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments ( paleogeography ), and both the evolutionary history of plants, with a bearing upon the evolution of life in general.

These are plants characterized by long, narrow ( grass-like ) leaves having sharp, often serrated ( sawtooth-like ) margins, and flowering stems 1 – 3 m tall bearing a much-branched inflorescence.

They are tiny birds that are resident and are found in forests but are particularly attracted to gardens at the edge of the forest where people grow suitable flower bearing plants.

After the German ball bearing " bottleneck " had been identified in 1942 and ball bearings had been named the second-most-vital Pointblank industry for the Combined Bomber Offensive in March 1943, Schweinfurt's ball bearing plants were selected for a second air raid after being bombed during the August Schweinfurt – Regensburg mission.

Some 229 of 291 B-17s hit the city area and ball bearing plants at Schweinfurt, Germany in two groups: the first group bombed at 1439-1445 hours, the second group at 1451-1457 hours.

They were used extensively in ships built during World War I, and have become the standard bearing used on turbine shafts in ships and power plants worldwide.
