Once there were two chrysanthemums

yellow flower petals grew long and soft and she looked perfect.

and said that the flower had too much style and that he wanted something

The man crossed the field
of the white chrysanthemum. He came up to her and said, "How would you
like to be the object on my lord's crest. We would make sure you have a very

windowsill in the lord's mansion. The lord and his family agreed it was perfect
for their crest. So artisans came and painted the flower on all of the
family's belongings.

chrysanthemum, her luxury was short lived. One day she felt a terrible
feeling coming through her leaves and then she fell over and lay on the

Gardenia plants are popular for the strong sweet
scent of their flowers. Gardenia is the national flower in Pakistan. In Japan
and China, the flower is called Kuchinashi (Japanese) and Zhi zi (Chinese).
Gardenia plants are evergreen shrubs. Their small
trees can grow to 1 - 5 meters tall. The leaves are 5 - 50 centimeters long
and 3 - 25 centimeters broad, dark green and glossy with a leathery texture.
The flowers are in small groups, white, or pale yellow, with 5 -12 lobes
(petals) from 5 -12 centimeters diameter. They usually bloom in mid-spring to
mid-summer. Many species have strong aroma.
To cultivate gardenia as a house plant is not
easy. This species can be difficult to grow because it originated in warm
humid tropical areas. It demands high humidity and bright (not direct) light
to thrive. It flourishes in acidic soil with good drainage and thrives on
20°— 23° C during the day and 150 - 16° C in the .evening. Potting soils
developed specifically for gardenias are available. It grows no larger than
