Flower of the Day!
The Marigold.
Not only is this the official flower of October, but it is also one of the most revered flowers in the world. It is sacred in cultures from Hinduism to the Aztecs and even Christianity. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years (at least since ancient Greece) the world over. The marigold is edible making foods such as salads a little brighter, and is delicious in tea. It has been used as a dye for clothing. It even has anti-fungal properties. It keeps certain pests away from your garden. And of course it smells good and is really quite lovely. Marigolds look great in bouquets and centerpieces and of course patio pots and window boxes.

Flower of the Day - Jacaranda Rose
Jacaranda Rose. Wonderfully pink with just a note of purple. Opens with a perfect curl to the petals giving this rose a gorgeous shape which contributes to the overall design. Medium sized, glowing and lovely. Not mention it has that divine classic rose fragrance. It catches the eye and the nose! It can soften or brighten up an arrangement depending on it's placement. What a rose, what a rose, what a rose. Not too many thorns.
