The Philippine National Flower
Flowers aren't only judged mainly because of its physical features as well as its popularity in the market such as roses, daisies, tulips, sunflowers, orchids and many other popular flowers. There are also flowers that, even if it's features aren't as grand as a rose or aren't as vibrantly colored as an orchid, have been held in such high regard that some countries made it as their own national flower. One particular example is with the Philippine's
Sampaguita
.
The Philippine National Flower
The
Sampaguita
, or Arabian Jasmine, is a species of jasmine native to southwestern and southern Asia including India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and more particularly in the Philippines. This flower is known in many names aside from
Sampaguita
flower Philippine
. These include:

(Bengali),
Mogra
(Hindi and Marathi),

(Sanskrit),

,
Melati
(Malay and Indonesian Language),
Mallepuvvu
(Telugu),

(Tamil),

(Kannada) and
Kaliyan
(Urdu). In the Philippines the flower is known as
sampaguita
and was adopted by the government as its national flower in 1937. Philippines chose this flower as their own national flower mainly because of its petite features, as well as with its white color that usually symbolizes purity and hope. Some have even stated that the
Sampaguita
flower Philippine
also symbolize the purity of love. This was mainly because of a legend that depicts the origin of the flower,
Sampaguita
. As the legend goes, there were two lovers, Lakambini and Lakam Galing. Before Lakam Galing went off to battle to defend their land, the two exchanged the words,
Sumpa kita
(I promise you), a promise of their undying love. Lakam Galing was killed in battle and when Lakambini heard of the news, she died of grief. At her grave site, there soon sprouted a vine that bore fragrant white flowers, a symbol of her purity and untainted love.

Is road salt affecting my flower bed?
I just moved to Vermont this past winter and when the plow came it broke some of my flower bed by the road. It is very large and goes right along the road.

I planted a lot of spring bulbs after the ground was was workable and nothing came up but a few straggly strands and they are Day Lilies which I thought grew easily. I did everything right care wise for them and put fresh composted manure with them. The same thing for some dahlias that I planted there. They seem to be coming up but not doing as well as other dahlias I have planted on the property. What can I plant there it looks horrible! Will wild flowers from seed do well?
mmmmmmm,perhaps.

Maybe they splurge on some high-end outdoor furniture and an elaborate grill, plus a few accessories to give the space style. But what about the rest of us? When a home has more modest outdoor space — perhaps a porch or patio, or a balcony off the master bedroom — these ...
