Easter Lily-
Lilium longiflorum, the Latin name
for the Easter Lily, is native to the
Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan.
The Easter Lily industry is an
American success story. Prior to
1941, the majority of the Easter Lily
bulbs were exported to the United
States from Japan. World War II
eliminated the dependence on
Japanese-produced bulbs and
commercial bulb production shifted
to the U.S. The Japanese have
never been able to regain any of
their lost market share due to the
superior quality of the U.S.-grown
bulbs.

Feng Shui and Flowers-
Feng Shui is an art, a philosophy, a way of living. It is not totally about decorating your home or office. It is
based on some very simple calculations and consulting of tables to determine aspects about you from your
birth year. From there, we consider, colors, directions, times of the day and year, and other factors to find out
what are better and worse choices to living harmoniously. Chi, or life force, is fundamental to all this, and the
belief that chi flows constantly around every living being. Chi loves light, life, movement, color and sound. It
accumulates around these things. But sometimes adjustments are made when chi moves too quickly. We want
chi to stay around us. But we also don’t want chi to stagnate in dark unused corners. Also, the yin and yang
energies, which are both present everywhere, more of one than the other, therefore objects and places are
called yin or yang.
