Mediterranean
The term Mediterranean refers to all elements of daily life that are related to the Mediterranean or the inhabited Mediterranean region. The term is well established in the field of nautical and business, but has left its mark on artistic creation for centuries and can be traced from antiquity to the 21st century. Vases, amphorae and similar products made of clay and natural materials, which were developed eg in ancient Rome or Ancient Greece and rediscovered during the Renaissance, are understood as Mediterranean elements in art. Even today, modern flower vases and planters in their appearance are based on the Mediterranean origins of these objects and deliberately presents antique-style decors and imprints. In addition to planters and flowers and plants are considered Mediterranean, as long as they have their botanical origins in the Mediterranean. Their breeding in central Europe is in most cases not possible, but modern hybrids have developed many hybrids that can better cope with climatic conditions in Germany. Basically, a Mediterranean plant such as orange or olive tree needs a warm to hot climate, also should constantly be given a high humidity as near the sea. The breeding of real, Mediterranean plants is thus easier in enclosed spaces than in the free, German nature.
Millefiori is a special artisan technique that is used almost exclusively in the manufacture of glass. In German often referred to as thread glass, Millefiori refers to the incorporation of white or other colored elements in clear glass, whereby patterns and designs are produced. Technically, thread glass can be produced in that the already heated glass mass is deformed according to the ideas of the artisan and this differently colored glass fibers are incorporated into the glass mass. Afterwards, the glassblower has the possibility to make certain deformations of the glass by the manual intervention afterwards and to provide this eg with regular patterns. The technique of millefiori was already known in antiquity and was even then used for aesthetic purposes, for example, to make glass vases or drinking vessels visually even more beautiful. Over the centuries, different variants of the millefiori have emerged in the different art epochs, even after the Second World War, the artistic design was further reinforced in Italy. Since glasses and vases made of millefiori are real crafts, these decorative elements continue to be of particular value and are more festive than everyday use. In addition to this real millefiori, there are also industrially produced mass-produced, which has taken over only the designs of the original Millefiori. 
In addition to the theory of colors, the theory of forms is one of the most important disciplines of floristry when it comes to the field of aesthetic design of bouquets, flower arrangements and other goods of flower-binding art. Although the color theory is usually attributed to a high quality, the design of bouquets, wreaths and other floristic elements is just as important to create high-quality and aesthetic products of floral tying allow. In German floristry, the formal theory often follows traditional guidelines, while floristic elements such as wreaths or bouquets follow a more classical form that has been established for generations. In other cultures, as the Japanese Ikebana, the doctrine of forms is placed before the color theory, the alignment of all the individual elements in a collection of flowers and plants is always a symbolic meaning. 
Nostalgia is an emotional emotion that in its original meaning meant only homesickness. The term summed up feeling as different as sadness, anger, or longing that people have come upon when leaving their home country, or when they have been absent for a long time.

Nostalgia comes across many people in the way of their childhood or earlier epoch, eg thinking of the rural life of grandparents and great grandparents. While emotions are as well as homesickness, their nostalgia is related to the past, usually associated with a glorification of earlier times. Many of them are on the slope of many people to nostalgia and bring old times through special products and works of art. In floristry, this is mainly by bouquets and bouquets in the style of eras earlier, for example, the Biedermeier bouquet or decorative objects in Art Nouveau. Since such articles are still very popular today, it is becoming clear that the nostalgia for the same things is felt by a large number of people.
Oasis is a globally renowned brand in the floristry and decoration sector, under whose name leading products of American manufacturer Smithers-Oasis are offered.

As an ornament, various forms of patterns are referred to, which can be, for example, in architecture, on wallpaper or other objects with a striking decor. As a result of clear designs and forms, the essential features of an ornament are the constant repetition of the pattern as well as its abstract shape. In German usage, the term is incorrectly used. Linguistically, the word derived from the Latin verb "ornare", which means "decorate" or "decorate". Ornaments are nowadays intended to contribute to a considerable, aesthetic enrichment of smooth and unobtrusive surfaces. Background colors and similar primers are used as the basis for the ornaments to create an optical contrast. Ornaments with paint on walls, ceilings, wallpaper and similar objects, in the past three-dimensional ornaments were more common as part of architecture and stucco art. The term ornament for a pattern is used in today's parlance mainly to complex structures that can be found, for example, in the Oriental or Indian culture. 
The ostrich egg is a popular and exotic decorative element that hobbyists as well as florists use for the production of all kinds. In fact, most of the time, this deco element is not a replica, but a true bird of the great runaway bird that lives in Africa and Australia. Similar to the hen's egg, not all ostrich eggs are fertilized, so the inner life of the egg can be used for consumption. In order to win an ostrich egg for the decoration area, this is added at both ends of a hole about one centimeter, about which the egg mass can escape. Afterwards, the inside of the interior and outside of the building, so offering an intimate and even surface texture, which offers a natural appearance as stones and appealingly complements every arrangement of natural decorative elements. Compared to a chicken egg, the shell of ostrich ice is much more robust, but the transport of a decorative ice cream should be done with great care. Compared to a hen's egg, the ostrich egg is at least twice as large and is guaranteed to be in a decorative deco landscape. In addition to the ostrich egg in the modern florist and eggs of geese and emus are their use, the latter are especially popular because of their natural, blue color. 
In addition to the vanishing point perspective, the parallel perspective is the essential form for representing objects and models on paper or for modeling on the computer screen. The application of the parallel perspective is indispensable in the mathematical, scientific and / or artistic environment in order to make representations true to scale and, for example, to design a positive model for a decorative object. While the vanishing point perspective is primarily used in a complex, spatial formations or orientations, it is particularly recommended for the design of individual objects without a direct reference to the three-dimensional environment. As the name already shows, they are parallel to each other in the sketch, even if this position is to be given later in reality. A simple and well-established example is the spatial representation of a cube on a sheet of paper, where the existence of the third dimension is illustrated by parallel lines drawn obliquely on the sheet. In modern computer technology, objects can not be created in a parallel perspective, but can also be viewed from all sides by means of rotations. The design of objects in the garden for landscaping or in the design of large ornamental decorative objects. 
Parallel technology is one of the most important design principles in modern floristry, but it is also used in other artistic disciplines. The basic principle of the parallel technique is based on the fact that the human eye is perceived as such. Although it is not possible, the arrangement of the same or the like, in a manner similar to that of the geometry of the design. The parallel technique also plays a special role in the explicit arrangement of bouquets or smaller bouquets. In this case, individual flowers or inflorescences come used in an orderly positioning in the bouquet, which therefore form the parallels in their arrangement to each other and thus the harmony of the bouquet. The parallel technique is one of the most widely used design techniques in modern floristry and is most commonly used as a majority of flower lovers. The aesthetics of bouquets are created using this technique. In order to successfully apply the parallel technique, it is necessary to use at least three or four types of flowers in different shapes when binding flowers in order to make the effect clearly visible. 
The term permanent tomb care comes from the funeral floristry and is offered by many professional florists. The permanent tomb care is the continuous care of a tomb, which includes several times a year of appealing tillage and replanting with flowers and other plants depending on the season or special holidays. The process of doing this is done in a state-of-the-art manner permanent tomb care in all its elements is contractually regulated. On the one hand, on the one hand, and the one on the one hand on the one hand, and one on the other hand, on the one hand, on the other hand. On the other hand, it may be aesthetically desirable to the permanent care of the tomb into professional hands. In this way, users can be sure to find the grave in a visually appealing and always oriented to the plants and flowers of the season state. 
The term pesticide refers to a chemical in floristry and horticulture that acts as a poison for a particular species of living creature, but is not a health burden for all living things. In the plant environment pesticides are used to allow flowers and other plants optimal growth, which can otherwise be prevented by a variety of pests. The most famous pests for flowers and plants in Germany are aphids, snails and moles, all of which can be specifically controlled by pesticides. The mechanisms of action of pesticides are diverse and can lead from the simple driving of the animals to death. Different pesticides act as baits, which attract animals intentionally and are suitable for consumption, however, the pests die after consuming this bait. Other pesticides emit an unpleasant odor that is not perceived by humans and keeps pests away from their own garden grounds. In previous decades, a very rigorous use of pesticides was shown, the impact on humans in many cases was not clear, is now paid by garden enthusiasts and consumers more on ecological pesticides. This is essential especially for crops that should continue to be suitable for human consumption after successful breeding. 
The term potpourri is used in various contexts and always refers to the composition of different, not directly related elements in which a harmonious and aesthetic arrangement comes out. In addition to the term in the preparation of food or music, the potpourri is above all a core concept in floristry and here the archaic predecessor of modern fragrance bowls and candles. Literally translated from French, potpourri means "dead pot" or "spoiled pot" because a vessel used in this sense is no longer available for other purposes. Hundreds of years ago, petals, twigs and other plant parts were put together in a room in a room with them or generally to provide a better indoor climate. There were no sanitary facilities in the modern sense, potpourri fulfilled an essential task to provide olfactory in the home living area for a pleasant atmosphere. Over time, elements of flowers and other plants were replaced with oils and essences that were similar to fragrances, but lasted longer and were more handsome. In this sense, potpourris can be considered the forerunner of modern fragrant lights, where oil spreads through a tealight or other heat source stimulates with its essences in the room. 
The term base color is a theoretical term that can be attributed to art and aesthetics as well as to physics. The basic color is defined as individual shades, which are created as the basis for theoretical or practical color combinations and thus allow, for example, the mixing of colors according to certain rules. In the general theory of color money, red and blue are considered essential colors, so called primary colors. From these colors, all other shades can be obtained by proportionate mixing. In the physical discipline of optics, red, blue and green are regarded as basic colors, from which it is possible to gain as much as the base color through fluoroscopy. The term basic color in floristry is broader in comparison to these disciplines, as can be seen on the color circle with its twelve individual colors. This is the term used to refer to colors in a flower or flower plant. Which basic colors in floristry fit together well, is based on the principles of color theory easy to determine and an integral part of training as a florist or gardener. 
In the original sense, the term "proportion" refers to a mathematical term that describes a relationship between different quantities and, for example, their length and width to each other. In the aesthetic environment, the term proportion has therefore also itself and in the sense of an optical, for the human pleasant relationship. In many cases, the aesthetics of a proportion result from their naturalness, for example in the body measurements of a human being. In a portrait or landscape painting, a true-to-scale representation of all objects is usually sought, and the realistic proportions should therefore be found in the corresponding relationship in the artwork. In architecture too, attention must be paid to observe various proportions in order to create a visually appealing spatial impression. In these areas, proportions do not arise out of nature, but are rather culturally pronounced, which explains the numerous, different architectural styles around the globe. Thus in the floristry proportions in the design of ostriches and floral arrangements are to be considered in order to guarantee a pleasing overall impression in the floristic art products. 
Rotting is a process of the free nature in which plants, animals and humans disintegrate after their death into their natural and chemical basic substances and are thus returned to the earth again. The rotting is possible with all materials and materials that have an organic base, industrially manufactured plastic. In humans and animals, at a rate different speeds, depending on the constituents of the body, for example, skin and muscles decompose much faster than the bone mass, which can be heard from its grave decades after the death of a human. The rotting of flowers, fruits and other living things of the kingdom is privately and industrially used for the production of potting soil, here all organic waste is collected on a compost heap. In a natural and pure potting soil, which can be used for other purposes of horticulture. If an atmosphere is produced during rotting, fermentation of the organic residues takes place instead of composting – a principle that is exploited by modern and environmentally friendly biogas plants. 
Salt glaze is one of the most important glazing and firing processes in the production of ceramics, which has existed for many centuries and is still used today in industrial production. After creating the basic form of a ceramic, sodium chloride, ie classic household salt, is added to the kiln for the firing process. As the temperature rises, the salt begins to burn, and the smoke is released. A chemical process produces sodium oxide, which deposits on the outer layer of the ceramic and thus lowers its melting temperature. In the further course of the firing process, the surface structure of the ceramic and the superimposed layer of sodium oxide create a glazed and shimmering outer layer, which is perceived as a true glaze. As a result of glaze, salt glazing proves to be a simple and natural working step, which can also be used outside of the industrial production of vases and plant pots. A glimpse of the glaze is there for the first time adverse weather.
