In flower, bud and 'rib-it,' signs of spring appear - The Seattle Times
By May, the tree canopy will leaf out and hog the sun, but for now, the spring ephemerals are basking. In gardens, crocus and snowdrop show clean and bright in their brief but long-awaited display.Flowers this small are overlooked in the abundance yet to come, rhododendrons tall as trees cascading with bloom. But right now, each flower is noticed.Pussy willows have put out their silky gray catkins, arrayed along twigs yet to leaf out.This far north and west, each hour of light, as Seattle swings back toward the sun, is noticed, clocked, savored. On March 12 at 2 a.m., it will be time to spring forward.Just like the plants and animals already in the swing of a new season. http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/in-flower-and-bud-signs-of-spring-appear/

Everyone has been really friendly as well," added Afoa. "I kind of expected people not to talk but everyone has been really approachable and friendly."Prescott and Afoa are typical of many athletes basking in what could be a once-in-a-lifetime event.For every Phelps and Bolt, there are competitors for whom the Olympics is their one cameo on the biggest stage and a unique opportunity to mix with athletes from around the world."It's been pretty awesome," said Prescott, with the giant national flags that adorn the apartment complexes visible over her shoulder."This is my first Olympics so I didn't really know what to expect. It's very big, very colorful and very beautiful."And while Prescott and Afoa are enjoying the experience as well as the competition, other athletes have a singular focus and realistic medal hopes.Colombian cyclist Rigoberto Uran took the silver medal in the road race at London 2012 and he hopes to go one better when he climbs into the saddle on Saturday.Uran has been impressed with the village and the food on offer but he has found it difficult to practice on Rio's congested roads."It's normal because the people are working," the 29-year old said. "For the sport it's an Olympic Games, for the people, it's normal, (they) need to go to work."But despite the challenges, Uran is savoring the unique atmosphere created by the Olympics."For me, I like it because it's totally different," he said, "different to Giro d'Italia, different to Tour de France. I like this experience."Two first-time Olympians also relishing the Games are Jamaicans Danniel Thomas and Daina Levy."Just being here, the experience, it's really good because it just gives you a whole different meaning to doing what you love," Thomas, who will compete in the shot put, told CNN."I just feel like the atmosphere in general is really, really good and it just overshadows all the other things that are going on."Levy agreed. "It's just uplifting. It's about people who are passionate about their sports."We're passionate about our sports, and you get to meet people who are genuinely interested in what you do. It's just a completely welcoming environment, I think."While clearly embracing the camaraderie and warmth of the village, both admit there were some teething problems.Levy said their rooms "weren't quite as ready as we would want them to be," although she added the facilities in the village are excellent.Although it seems the plumbing issues haven't entirely gone away.The pair reveal there are signs advising athletes not to flush toilet paper down the toilet, something Games organizers told CNN is recommended, rather than mandatory, and is common practice in Brazil."They give us little pink bags and you put it in the bags, close the bag, put the bag in the trash," said Levy.And while the excitement among the athletes is palpable, Olympians aren't quite ready to start partying just yet."I don't know if everyone is waiting until after their done competing," said Thomas, "but I would say, for right now, it's on the down low."... http://www.clickondetroit.com/sports/olympics/athletes-village-a-salon-a-florist-even-a-mcdonalds

Balancing the yin and yang through flower arrangement - The New Indian Express
ENNAI: The first thing you experience when you enter Inko Centre on Adyar Club Road is the fragrance of different flowers neatly arranged in ceramic vases of different sizes and colours. While you're basking in the aromatic high, you're greeted by 12 women in colourful Korean hanboks (traditional clothing), who explain the art of Korean floral arrangement.Talking to City Express about the art, Myung-Sook Choi, chairperson, Korean Ggotggozi Association, said, "Ggotggozi (pronounced Gote-go-zee) dates back to the Silla dynasty in Korea (57 BC–935 AD)." With roses, carnation, chrysanthemum, lily and anthurium flowers and branches of azalea, dogwood and rhododendron adorning the table, the talented florist assembled the flowers in the vases within 15 minutes."In ggotggozi, everything from the smallest grass to tiny twigs and flowers are given importance," said Choi. There are 14 styles of flower arrangement in ggotggozi, of which three – straight, slanting and droopy were demonstrated during the workshop-cum-exhibition."I've been doing this since 1972 and learnt ggotggozi while I was in high school. This is what we do and we love talking to flowers more than people," smiled Choi.Flowers a... http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/Balancing-the-yin-and-yang-through-flower-arrangement/2016/06/25/article3498453.ece
The shady side of the plant world - Simi Valley Acorn
On the TrailGloria GlasserOften when we think of native plants in the Santa Monica Mountains we conjure up images of sunny slopes and meadows brimful of colorful wildflowers basking in bright sunlight.Yet there's a world of plants that thrive in the cool shade of north-facing slopes and oak woodlands.Among the native ferns that create grotto-like effects in shady pockets along woodland trails are coastal wood fern (Dryopteris arguta). This hardy, handsome fern has arching, tapered fronds. unique shade of light green really makes it stand out in filtered light.Smaller ferns include the polypody (Polypodium californicum), which produces mounded, feathery fronds that appear to pour forth from rock crevices, and the stiff, finely cut fronds of goldenback fern (Pityrogramma triangularis), one of the plant world's most aptly named members.Seeps, springs and waterfalls may be fringed in the ethereal beauty of maidenhair ferns, for their petite fanshaped leaves.A true water-hugger, Venus maidenhair fern (Adiantum capillis-veneris) has thin, glossy black leaf stalks and a more ruffled leaf form than the maidenhair fern (A. jordanii), which has brown stalks and grow... http://www.simivalleyacorn.com/news/2016-04-29/Community/The_shady_side_of_the_plant_world.html
