Flowers are something spectacular that God has created. There are all types of flowers, from roses to lilies to daffodils to carnations and so forth. All flowers are beautiful as each one is made unique, attracting the human eye. Flowers are typically popular in the summertime, as many people enjoy gardening. Flowers are also popular in blooming in the springtime or early fall. Gardening can either be with flowers or vegetables. Today, I'm going to tell you about my favorite eleven flowers, ranked in order from my most favorite to my last along with a fact about each one.

1. Pink Roses.

About 60% of the roses grown in the U.S. are produced in California.

2. Lilies.

Each color of the lily has certain meaning. White lily symbolizes purity, day lily coquetry, while tiger lily symbolizes majesty and wealth.

3. Daffodils.

Scientists have discovered narciclasine, a natural compound found in daffodil bulbs, may be therapeutic in treating brain cancer.

4. Sunflowers.

Sunflowers are a great choice to plant if you want to to attract birds to your yard.

5. Sweet Pea.

Seeds of the sweet pea are poisonous. If ingested, a disease called odoratism can develop. The symptoms mimic those of scurvy.

6. Tulips.

The tulip is the national flower or Turkey and Afghanistan.

7. Orchids.

Orchids have a symmetry to human faces.

8. Calla Lilies.

The Calla lily roots are poisonous.

9. Cherry Blossoms.

Cherry Blossoms are Japan's national flower.

10. Gerberas.

The capitulum on the Gerberas has the appearance of a single flower, but is actually a cluster of hundreds of individual flowers.

11. Bird of Paradise.

Healthy, mature plants produce up to 36 flower spikes in a year. Plants in partially shady locations will produce larger blossoms than ones located in full sun.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
