EDEN 4 FLOWERS - 4 FLOWERS
Eden 4 Flowers
Gardening in Eden: Seasons in a Suburban Garden "Though an old man," Thomas Jefferson wrote at Monticello, "I am but a young gardener." Every gardener is. In Gardening in Eden, we enter Arthur Vanderbilt's small enchanted world of the garden, where the old wooden trestle tables of a roadside nursery are covered in crazy quilts of spring color, where a catbird comes to eat raisins from one's hand, and a chipmunk demands a daily ration of salted cocktail nuts. We feel the oppressiveness of endless winter days, the magic of an old-fashioned snow day, the heady, healing qualities of wandering through a greenhouse on a frozen February afternoon, the restlessness of a gardener waiting for spring. With a sense of wonder and humor on each page, Arthur Vanderbilt takes us along with him to discover that for those who wait, watch, and labor in the garden, it's all happening right outside our windows. (6) Calla Lilies White Flowers by Delia Parvu Stretched impasto oil painting, using knives 20x24x3/4 The subject: Calla Lilies are one of the most beautiful and oldest known flowers. They are native of Africa and come in many brilliant colors. Many legends were written about these flowers. A Greek myth mentions that Venus was dazed by the beauty of this flower, and so the Calla Lily was associated with lust. It is also said that Calla Lilies sprang from the ground where Eve’s tears fell as she was leaving Eden, and so they were associated with atonement. Today these beautiful flowers are a symbol of marriage and beauty. But no matter what their meaning is, no one can deny their magnificence. The painting: This painting shows several Calla Lilies and foliage in a garden. The oil colors were laid on the canvas entirely with painting knives. The background is diffused, but the flowers and crisp and clear. The main colors in this painting are white and green. The blue and purple colors in the background make a beautiful complement and keep the entire painting in the cool spectrum of colors.

Very attractive plant and very popular indoors until it blooms for a few days and the smell gets stronger. This plant is said to repel bugs due to its smell and outdoors, you can't really smell it very strong unless you get close to it. It is said to smell like something died and that is what it would smell like. This plant is in a 4 inch pot and measures 4 to 8 inches tall (Please note the measurements are from the top of the root ball to the top of the fronds). We're sorry, but we do not ship these plants to California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico due to restrictions by their Departments of Agriculture.
