grapevine

grapevine G as gardening The grapevine, in the Latin term Vitis vinifera, denotes an independent genus of plant life. Although it suggests the name, not every grapevine is used for the production of wine, for this purpose only the robust subspecies of the noble grapevine is used. All species are a vine that reaches a height of several meters with good care and produces fruits in the form of grapes. For optimal habitat, grapevines require heights that have dry or moderately moist soil and many hours of sunshine per year. Since these conditions are fulfilled in many countries around the globe, for centuries in many nations, viticulture is cultivated, which depends solely on this particular plant and its noble subspecies. Regardless of the species, all berries of the grapevine have a sweetish, sometimes sourish taste. Different types, which are therefore not suitable for the reading of wine, are used in the production of grape juice and thus also contribute to a healthy diet of man. Due to their striking and aesthetic shape, vines are also to be found in modern horticulture and, without oenological ambitions, are an adornment for every garden.

haptics

haptics H like hair accessoires The term "haptic" is the technical term for the human sense of touch, similar to the term "optics and acoustics" which describes the perceptible stimuli of the outside world via the eye or ear. Although the haptic is difficult to compare with the sensory perception of visible or audible stimuli, it is nevertheless capable of capturing and separating complex textures from surfaces. Basic features that can be perceived through the feel, are the size and shape of an object, which are always confirmed by the sense of sight or supplemented. Optically imperceptible properties that are detected solely by the haptics of a person are the surface structure with their respective contours and the weight of an object. Essential for the processing are the sensory cells in the fingers and palms of a human, which are among the areas of the human body with the highest density of nerve cells. Also the so-called depth sensitivity, ie the reaction of the inside of the body to stimuli from the outside, play an essential role in the haptic perception in order to be able to assess, for example, the force required to lift an object. In the floristic environment, haptic perception plays a decisive role for professional gardeners and florists, since they can say something about the health of the respective plant, for example, by feeling the leaves and other plant parts.

harmony

harmony H like hair accessoires The term harmony is used in different areas of life and thus has different levels of meaning, but roughly the same facts. Harmony is an arrangement of objects of all kinds up to the human coexistence described, which is characterized by the absence of disturbing factors and thus by a regularity in their nature. Harmony is therefore an important term in aesthetics as well as visual art and can be seen as the goal of numerous artists in their work. It is important in the creation of harmony, not only to pay attention to individual elements in the design, but also to consider the interaction of all elements. Harmony in horticulture or in the floristic sector can follow strict mathematical criteria. For example, the symmetrical arrangement of flowerbeds can always be considered as harmonious with the same distance between the individual flowers. Even colors can be harmonious with each other, as long as there is a lack of great contrasts and the common perception is considered aesthetic for the majority of people. From this aesthetic conception, harmony has become a general term for regulated behavior without disruptive factors in recent decades. Collaboration between colleagues in the workplace can then be as much a harmony as a partnership.

horticulture

horticulture H like hair accessoires The term garden culture refers to the arrangement of gardens according to practical and aesthetic aspects, whereby the cultivation of the given fields and green spaces follows certain concepts. In this sense, one can not speak of a simple garden culture, but rather a very individual design of gardens is possible, which was also significantly influenced by the social cultures and eras of the past. If you want to cultivate a garden yourself, you decide in the first step for the establishment of a utility or ornamental garden. In the first case, the main focus is on the yield of fruit and vegetables, while the ornamental garden is more likely to be aesthetically pleasing when it comes to landscaping, with a certain utility being provided by the selective breeding of rare plants and their distribution. In addition to garden culture, there is the need to grapple with the criteria of color and morphology in order not to cultivate one's own cultivated land in a wild and disorderly manner. In order to be as successful as possible with a livestock or ornamental garden, the existing garden area should be critically examined and analyzed, for example, according to criteria such as solar radiation or the condition of the soil. In addition to all these natural elements, a modern garden culture also includes an aesthetic design of the garden area in which the human being finds his place and can enjoy the closeness to nature.

Ikebana

Ikebana I like Ikebana The term ikebana describes the artful floristry of ancient Japan, which is still practiced today and has found numerous followers in Europe. Like the European floristry, the Ikebana deals with arranging flowers and plants according to certain aesthetic requirements, but the approaches of the Ikebana are difficult to compare with our floristry. The design of arrangements made of flowers, stones, roots and other ornamental elements is viewed more as a meditative activity, and the symbolic meaning of different plants and their relationship to one another is more important than with bouquets or wreaths of European floristry. The so-called kado, which encompasses the philosophical and meditative part of flower arranging and thus complements the aesthetic design of the ikebana, is closely related to the ikebana. Similar to the design theory of Feng Shui, the Ikebana should not only create independent beauty, but also contribute to the harmony of the entire living space and people. If you want to immerse yourself in the art of coca, you will get to know basic methods and arrangements of flowers according to the Ikebana, all of which have their own symbolic meaning. Instead of large bouquets with numerous flowers or flowers from the same plant, Ikebana tends to work discreetly with individual objects.

innovation

innovation I like Ikebana The term innovation originally comes from Latin and literally means renewal. In this sense, the term is still used in numerous contexts to create a boundary between existing ways of thinking and trading and to show ways in which familiar rules and actions can be broken. Innovation plays a leading role in science as well as in art and can arise in different ways. Many innovative technologies that shape the everyday life of modern humans emerged decades ago as innovations by scientists and inventors, whereby in addition to the targeted search for innovative ideas, chance can also play a role. In the artistic environment, innovation in art, music and literature can be found and is also intended to break through well-known ways of artistic creation in order to bring about really new forms of expression in art. A few centuries ago, musicians were closely tied to the scales and harmony systems of European teaching, but these principles were broken through by innovative styles such as twelve-tone music, jazz or modern rock and pop music. Innovations in the design of bouquets, wreaths and flower arrangements can also be experienced in floristry. This is usually achieved by breaking through existing rules of color, shape and design theory in order to create new, floral works of art with their very own aesthetics.

inspiration

inspiration I like Ikebana Nowadays the term inspiration is mainly used in the artistic environment, but has its roots in the religious and spiritistic area. The term literally derives from the Latin spirit for spirit or soul, the inspiration is understood as breathing in the spirit or a certain idea. It is precisely this acquisition of ideas that plays an important role in the artistic context, so that an artist is able to develop new ideas and to implement them in their respective creative style. The way in which inspiration takes place varies greatly from person to person and can be composed of positive and negative experiences and impressions. In the religious environment, the coming of a deity over one's own spirit is understood as inspiration, which, however, does not necessarily lead to an artistic manifestation, but rather influences, for example, actions on the further path of life. In the modern living environment, artists get their inspiration primarily from their individual everyday life as well as the artistic influences of other artists with whom one can identify. The inspiration is not to be understood as a copy or template according to which your own art should be developed. Rather, experiences, experiences and objects of inspiration serve to develop new ideas and expressions of your own, as is also possible in floristry in addition to other art areas.

interior

interior I like Ikebana The term interior comes from French and, in its original meaning, refers to the design and furnishing of an interior, especially this private living area. In today's parlance, the term interior is used somewhat more restrictively and is used in German when it comes to the aesthetic design of an interior. When it comes to the right interior, it is therefore not a matter of measuring the furnishing of living spaces solely from a practical point of view, but also of incorporating aesthetic criteria into the design that contribute to the well-being of people. The academic disciplines of interior architecture and interior design deal scientifically with the optimal design of the interior, which has resulted in essential rules for the form and design theory of modern housing and interior design. In order to make an interior appealing, it is essential to deal with personal preferences such as the respective culture, since there are different ideas about a harmonious and beautiful interior design around the globe. The use of flowers or green plants to enhance the interior is widespread across all continents, so that floristry also plays an essential role in indoor comfort in the 21st century. Cut flowers, potted plants or elaborately arranged arrangements can contribute to the harmony of the room and to a greater beauty of the interior.

irrigation system

irrigation system I like Ikebana An irrigation system is understood to mean a facility which is intended either to provide professional irrigation of all existing plants in either professionally maintained flower beds or in the private sector. As the term system already indicates, a permanent, manual pouring by hand should be made redundant in a coordinated manner. Many processes in an irrigation system therefore run semi-automatically or even completely automatically. Particularly important is a sophisticated irrigation system in the field of floristry, especially at wholesalers with a variety of warehouses full of flowers and other plants. Since it is impossible here to water all plants by hand, computer-controlled systems nowadays take on this task. Depending on a timer or adapted to the other, climatic conditions in the wild or a greenhouse, the irrigation of the plants takes place via nozzles and channels, which should ensure an optimal living environment for all plant species. Even in private gardens, lovers of flowers and other plants can nowadays have a compact irrigation system laid, so as not to have to take over the permanent watering of the plants themselves. Also for flower boxes and single potted plants technical aids can ensure that the optimal time for the next casting is displayed. In this context, however, less talk of a real irrigation system.

Landesgartenschau

Landesgartenschau L as labeling machine The Horticultural Show is an exhibition of florists, gardeners and other professional groups around the field of horticulture, which is held in the Federal Republic at regular intervals and allows a presentation of floristic and botanical breeding of a single state. Compared to the Federal Horticultural Show, where exhibitors come together every two years centrally in a specific city in Germany, the State Garden Show is independently organized and organized by each federal state. The organization and structure of the two garden shows does not differ, at a state garden show there is only a greater chance for smaller gardeners or florists to present themselves to interested visitors of the state with their own products and creations. Since a state garden show not only has breeders as a target group, but also wants to attract private visitors through artfully designed landscapes, this event has been able to develop over decades into one of the most important events of each state. Unlike the Federal Garden Show, the orientation of the garden shows of individual federal states does not follow a specific cycle, so that, depending on interest and costs, no exhibition of this kind will be held for many years. Current state garden shows in the years 2012 and 2013 can be discovered in Bamberg, Nordhausen or Prenzlau, for example, while other federal states will have to wait a few more years until the next event.

landscape gardener

landscape gardener L as labeling machine The landscape gardener is a German training profession, who deals with many aspects of landscaping and horticulture and in which also elements of floristry can play. Basically, the education is designed to landscape gardener, the trainee is take his school education therefore already in a gardening or landscaping works and can combine theory and practice already in his three years of training. The landscape gardener's field of application is particularly varied and is used both in the private environment and in public buildings and parks. Basically, in the everyday job description, the task is to fulfill the design of green spaces according to standards between aesthetics and cost-effectiveness, whereby depending on the client different emphases have to be set. Since untouched nature can hardly be discovered in the urban environment in particular, the landscape gardener should return a natural character to the cities through the deliberate planting and design of the public space and thus contribute to the well-being of residents or gainfully employed on a larger company premises. Of course, the landscape gardener can also be used for private needs, to make a garden according to all the rules of art to an aesthetic work of art. As with most training occupations, a complementary training as a landscape gardener can be completed, which can pave the way for a self-employed work.

litter basket

litter basket L as labeling machine A small wicker basket, which is primarily used in wedding ceremonies, is called a basket. The purpose of the basket is to provide a solid and ornate place for the flowers of the flower girls to run out with this basket from the church or the registry office and thereby pave the way for the young bride and groom by sprinkling flowers and flowers. Modern scatter baskets can be made of plastic as well as straw and other, natural materials, in the specialist trade is mainly the white color to find, so that the basket differs perfectly with the wedding dress of most women. At a traditional wedding celebration, it is popular to choose a basket in the shape of the Biedermeier, this striking look is often taken over by bouquets for the bride. In addition to their actual use as a container for scattered flowers scattered baskets can also be used as a general decoration for a wedding celebration, for example, to make room for small attentions for the wedding guests at dining tables.

loop

loop L as labeling machine As a loop, a particularly graceful form of the knot is called, at the conclusion of two loosely bound, larger loops remain. The loop can be found both in everyday life, for example, when tailoring shoes, as well as in traditional nautical, but compared to other node variants, it is more of a decorative knot. In order to distinguish it from nautical nodes, the loop on shoes or other everyday objects is referred to as a so-called cross-knot, which can easily be loosened after a long time and under physical stress. As a decorative element, the bow is an integral part of floristry and is used on bouquets and bouquets as well as in floral arrangements and wreaths. Anyone who creates floristic objects himself and is thus familiar with flower-binding art, uses the loop for a shapely completion of self-made containers and can, for example, contribute to the symmetry of the bouquet by integrating several loops at regular intervals. In addition to this, already pre-bound loops can be purchased from specialized dealers, into which further, natural decorative elements have been integrated depending on the model. A special role is played by the ribbon in funeral floristry, where it is an indispensable part of many condolences. Here, the bow is woven into a funeral wreath or funeral arrangement and braided from the wreath, which carries a final, personal mourning message.

loop pressure

loop pressure L as labeling machine Loop printing belongs to the offer of many Floristic enterprises, whereby the services of a loop printing company meanwhile also on the Internet can be used reasonably priced. The printing of ribbons for floral arrangements and wreaths is used on numerous occasions, the most established variant is the loop print in the mourning policy, to give the deceased an ornate arrangement with a loop a final message on the way. Depending on the supplier, customers can choose between a large number of pre-made loops for loop printing or order an individual loop with a very personal message. Prefabricated models offer themselves as a supplement to a funeral arrangement when no major farewell message is to be printed and the loop pressure is merely intended to illustrate whose sign of sympathy the respective wreath represents. Such loops bear general names such as different degrees of relationship, also offer such funeral bows short farewell greetings and can be customized in various colors individually to a chosen funeral arrangement. Individualization is possible for a surcharge, in which case letters made of gold-plated yarn are embroidered on a selected loop. Anyone who orders a loop print over the Internet has the immediate opportunity here to select a suitable arrangement and to have this unit sent promptly by post.

maintenance claim

maintenance claim M as material science As care claim, the conditions are described, which play a role in the rearing and preservation of plants for optimal development. While flowers and plants in nature are left to their own devices and thrive only where climate, temperature, soil and other environmental factors are optimal, flower lovers in the private sector would like to artificially bring about precisely these factors. All plant species differ in their claims, and these differences are qualitatively and quantitatively. Different plant species are in fact dependent on no separate care and are already developing under the most elementary basic conditions in nutrient supply, water and light, as many garden friends are well aware of the development of weeds in their gardens. Other plant species, such as orchids, carnivores or roses, on the other hand, have a higher level of care, which makes it necessary, for example, to use expanded clay and other granules instead of classical potting soil. The duration and intensity of the sun's rays as well as the administration of irrigation water with or without additional liquid fertilizers also play an important role in the optimum care of a plant and must be adapted to the respective care requirements. In the specialist literature as well as through the consultation with the florist or gardener, plant friends can quickly find out which nursing claim individual plants make and whether it is possible to fulfill the requirements permanently in their own garden or on the window sill.

Maritime

Maritime M as material science The term "maritime" literally means "belonging to the sea" and thus describes all the components between the economy, nature and everyday life related to such a large body of water. With reference to the flora and fauna, all living things are referred to as maritime, which have their roots in these regions of the world and are therefore reliant on appropriate conditions for breeding and care. Traditionally, it is difficult to breed in Central Europe plants that have maritime origins, as they can not cope with the too dry and often too cold air of the Central European habitat. Plants from the marine environment are often unable to store moisture over a long period of time because the natural environment ensures a sufficient supply of water at all times. In addition, maritime plants do not rely solely on an adequate supply of irrigation water, but absorb a large part of their moisture through the air. Should florists or private buyers of maritime plants have an interest in successfully growing these plants, then in addition to the sufficient temperatures, a regular spraying of the plants with atomized water and various nutrients is necessary to optimally imitate the local climate. Well-known, maritime plants are various fruit trees and olive trees, various tang species and the Chlorella.
