I think one of the most beautiful and diverse decorations in our lives are flowers. No holiday or expression of feelings would be complete without flowers. Coming out of the unpredictability of our lives, I decided to make a list of the most popular colors (a social survey among my friends helped me with this, and there are already 7 of them =)).
So, I present to you the names of the colors and the corresponding photos. This will help you understand the classification of colors or just remember if you have forgotten.
This article can help a man choose flowers for his beloved, especially if he has received a specific order. =) After all, I think more than one guy at one time was tormented by the question of what flowers to give to a girl (sister, wife, mother, daughter).

I deliberately selected a list of colors in which the first letters of the names make up almost the entire alphabet. I couldn’t find only some letters for which either there are no flowers, or they are not used in bouquets, or they are quite difficult to get.
All this was done with the goal that you could not only give your woman a bouquet, but also very pleasantly surprise her with your romance by giving acrobouquet, which takes its roots from "Alexandrovsky bouquet".
The prefix "akro" from the Greek means "extreme". That is, this bouquet should consist of flowers, the first letters of the names of which will form the woman’s name.
How to make such a bouquet? Very simple. For example, Natasha should give a bouquet of N arcissov, A page, T yulpanov, A lstroemeria, L ily, AND rice and I treshnik (you can make a bouquet for any form of the name).
I hope that after this article some of my friends will stop calling absolutely all flowers sunflowers and bouquets brooms. =)
P.S. In 1805, Russian Emperor Alexander I (1777-1825), while in Germany, literally charmed the local residents.
According to the stories of S.P. Zhikharev, “...men run after him in crowds, and women come up with different ways to prove your respect for him. So, in memory of his stay in Berlin, ladies made it fashionable to wear bouquets called "Alexandrovsky", which are collected from flowers that make up the name ALEXANDER by the initial letters of their names.
Without these bouquets, not a single decent woman dares to appear in society, neither in the theater, nor on a walk. These are the flowers from which bouquets are made, which differ only in size and value; large ones are worn on the chest, and small ones in the hair: Anemon (anemone), Lilie (lily), Eicheln (acorns), Xeranthemum (amaranth), Accazie (acacia), Nelke (clove), Drefaltigkeitsblume (cheerful eyes), Epheu (ivy) , Rose (rose)".

Location– the main criterion that is responsible for the life and active development of plants. If you plant light-loving flowers in a dark place, then they will not be able to delight their owners with their beauty for a long time. This means you need to know in advance the insolation in your own area and the attitude of your favorite plants to light. Therefore, before selecting plants, decide which area you want to plant with garden flowers. After this selection, you can move on to the next point. |

Features of colors. According to morphology, flowers are divided into annual (marigolds, petunias) and perennial (hostas, daisies, lilies). The difference lies in the different periods of their life and development. The first type is cheaper, but it grows only one year; the next year it is necessary to purchase plant material again. Using the catalog search form, you can sort flowers by life expectancy. Perennial plants can be planted only once, and they will delight their owners every year. The second type is more expensive than the first. |

|
Origin. It is better to plant native plants that are perfectly adapted to existing conditions. Of course, no one has canceled experiments; you can try growing exotics. |
 |
| Plant size is very important. If a mixborder is arranged in the garden, then the largest and tallest plants should be planted at the very end, and small and abundantly flowering plants should be planted at the beginning. In my The catalog of garden flowers contains photographs, thanks to which you can navigate by the size of the plant. All seed packages usually indicate the sizes of interest. If you buy seedlings, it is better to find out all the necessary data from reliable sources. |  |
