Using Pink In The Garden

 

Pink is one of nature's most varied and vibrant colors. From the bright fuschia pinks to the gentle blush on a lotus flower the color pink expresses the diversity of natural colors. All shades of pink look sophisticated when combined with black or gray - plant pink flowers near your black compost bin. Medium to darker shades of blue - combine with blue flowers. Medium to dark green with pink is also a sharp-looking combo - great with evergreens. The use of the word "pink" as a color first occurred in the 17th century to describe the light red flowers of pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus.

Pink Roses 

Flowers are a perfect way to express one's feelings. For centuries, roses have attracted people with their beauty. Irrespective of their color, roses are flowers that make people feel special. Apart from their beauty, the rose is the only flower that symbolizes so many meanings and feelings.

The color pink denotes gratitude, grace, fun, joy, sweetness, and gentleness. The pink rose also represents style and admiration. It is the perfect way of thanking a person and can also be given as a token of appreciation. It is generally seen that if a pink rose is given or received, it states that the person is respected for their uniqueness and for the fact that they are genuine. Pink roses also express that people are liked for their companionship and respectability.

Since the pink rose depicts happiness, it is generally seen that they are used for decorating bouquets. They are also used to decorate for marriages. As it symbolizes pride and deep fondness, they are gifted while celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries. Pink roses are usually given to those who have achieved a remarkable or significant accomplishment. Since pink roses are known for their delicate appearance, they exude a sense of warmth and harmony.

Pink roses are a way to communicate feelings such as love, like, and thankfulness. During ancient times, pink was the color of negativity as it depicted pain, suffering, and also death. However, as people became more and more aware of the color pink, it was widely accepted as the color of joy and love. Innocent love that has not yet been expressed, can blossom into the feeling of true love by giving pink flowers.

The color pink is a friendly, faithful, compassionate, and pleasant one. It is not only attractive, but is also the perfect way of expressing good luck, congratulations, and so on. Pink roses are also given to loved ones on the occasion of Valentine's Day. Pink roses are, hence, accepted universally as a symbol of beauty.

Pink Hibiscus 

Pink Hibiscus, the state flower of Hawaii, is a beautiful bloom. This perennial favorite comes in different shapes and sizes. They have single and double petals and vary in size from small to ten or twelve inches in height.

The "Lady Baltimore" varieties cost about $15 and are in great demand. They add color to the household and are ideal as decor for parties. The pink Hibiscus is very popular among photographers and painters who sell their work commercially. There are many products like jewelry, bed linen and swimsuits that are based on a pink Hibiscus theme.

Among pink Hibiscus, there are different groups such as Anisodontea scabrosa, Hibiscus syriacusa, Hibiscus moscheutos and Hibiscus mutabilis(Confederate rose). Each has its own characteristics and the shades of pink differ. The Anisodontea scabrosa is a dwarf variety that does well indoors. It has one inch, three-lobed flowers. Hibiscus geranioides has pink tubular flowers. It is quite common and can be planted in pots. Pavonia hastata has a pale pink flower with a crimson "eye." Hibiscus syriacus(Rose of Sharon) has double pink flowers. Hibiscus splendens, of Australian origin, can grow up to 6m. A popular landscaping species, the Alyogyne huegelii can be grown in semi-barren places.

When planting any variety of Hibiscus, keep in mind that it is basically a tropical plant that loves sunlight but can tolerate temperate climates. Certain kinds are capable of withstanding a fair amount of frost and freezing. Saplings generated from seeds may not produce the same type of flowers as the mother plant, whereas cuttings will have identical characteristics. In many varieties, flowering goes on all year.

Hibiscus flowers, saplings, rooted cuttings, planting materials and pots are available through florist shops and nurseries. For fertilizers, pesticides etc. seek advice and follow the label instructions.
