A most notable trait of the orchid is usually its flower. Orchid flowers are unique in a few senses. As in most flowering plants, orchid flowers’ primary function is to attract pollinators. The methods used by orchids to achieve this is very diverse. Almost always there is a petal that is different from other petals. This petal is known as the labellum. The labellum is the median petal that faces the column. This lip can be used for multiple functions in different species of orchids. In some species of the genus Calopogon, when a bee lands on the flower, the lip (which is hinged) falls onto the bee (triggered by its weight) rubbing the bee against the column for pollination. Porroglossum takes this strategy a bit further and its hinged lip is activated by touch. When the calluses (thick patches on labellum) of the orchids of this genus is touched, the hinged lip forces shut, forcing whatever insect inside it to exit by the stigma, increasing chances of pollination. Other species of orchids have hinged parts as well such as in Bulbophyllum macrorhopalon, which contains hinged appendages in its flower that move in the wind, attracting flies for pollination. The flower is also used in the common way of attracting insects by producing scents and being colourful. However, as orchid pollen

Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 1981 novella, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, is an investigation into the murder of Santiago Nasar through the lens of a Columbian community. It acts as a broader commentary on the obligations to virtue, duty and honour at the expense of meaningful relationships and rational decision-making. This essay will explore how Marquez uses flowers to represent the high standards expected of them that simultaneously result in justification for their objectification. Flowers are also used to mask and disguise the hollow and often onerous expectations to uphold flawed beliefs on virtue, religion and duty.

Hugh Prather, an American writer, once said “Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.” Change is an inevitable part of being human. As we grow we meet and discover new ideas and people, that change our thinking. For the most part, change happens in very small amounts in life, but there are times at which one single event can lead to great personal development or downfall. In the novels Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, change of physical and social interactions and environments leads to change in personal beliefs. However, while Purple Hibiscus portrays change as a beneficial transformation, Things Fall Apart argues that change is undesirable. In Purple Hibiscus,

Chabana, flowers for tea, is an invaluable technique that can be found in the Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu). It was derived from the art of flower arranging, Ikebana, and has its techniques rooted in Shintoism and Buddhism. First, the arrangements began as a way of celebrating the seasons in conjunction with life and death that nature exhibits. It is the ephemeral realm found within Buddhism and the celebration of nature which Shinto embodies that brought these arts to their fruition. Also, this form of decoration near or in the tokonoma (alcove) is displayed as a way of indicating the seasons or evoking the meaning of the kakejiku (scroll), as well as, the feeling of wabi. Several varying themes are found throughout chabana in reference to the underlying themes in chanoyu those being shin, gyo, so. These themes are attributed to the formal, semi-formal and informal tea gatherings found in bowing, floral arrangements and floral vessels found in the tea ceremony.
