Aside the common uses of the flowers we
known, let’s also look at some specific flowers and their use
NASTURTIUM FLOWER
Tropaeolum majus,commonly known as nasturtium or Indian
cress, refers to a type of flowering plant that many young or beginning
gardeners use commonly. These plants are very easy to maintain since, often,
you can simply plant them and leave them alone.
Outside of their use for introducing children to
gardening, nasturtium flowers are commonly used in salad gardens. The flowers
of the plant, as well as the immature seed pods and leaves, can be used within
salads as a tangy flavouring. The
immature seed pods also can be pickled, while mature seeds may become a roasted
snack or flavouring similar to
pepper. The flower petals can be used to create vinegar or used within other
food recipes.

example, is used for frying foods or other kinds of cooking purposes. It can
also be used in infant formula and to give snack foods a longer shelf life.

meal can be used as well to provide high-fiber food
to animals.

flowers on the tulip poplar tree attract bees and hummingbirds. The flowers
produce especially high-quality nectar that's beloved by hummingbirds and bees
alike. Settlers
and European lumber barons used tulip poplar wood to make houses and other
structures, furniture and baskets. Aside from construction, tulip poplars were
logged to make canoes, ships and paper pulp. Tulip poplars also have some
medicinal uses. Mainly, the tulip poplar's inner bark and roots contain hydrochlorate and tulipiferine.These are alkaloids used as
heart stimulants.

eaten, but you need to remove the white base from the petal first. The white
base is bitter and can ruin the taste of the dish. You can add rose petals to
your salad or use in making jelly. But roses aren't just used to add flavour to
a dish, as they can also add texture to your food. In addition, roses add
colour to dishes when used as a garnish.

perfumes, soaps and other oiletries, rose can also be used in a number of places in your landscape. Some roses grow
low to the ground, and are suitable as ground cover. These low-growers can also
