1. INTRODUCTION The showy flowers, which are an evolutionary adaptive strategy of plants to ensure cross pollination and genetic variability, have attracted the interest of man since the prehistoric times. As far back as 2500 B.C., Egyptians were so interested in cut flowers that they used to decorate even the tombs with the vases holding scented Blue Nile Lotus. Floral ornaments, bouquets, or floral arrangements find a place of pride in social gatherings, birthday celebrations, welcome parties

This not only causes for the flowers of the plants to look unappealing but they can also affect the growth of the plant.

treatments. The control was open pollination and the treatments applied were self-pollination, and cross-pollination. Control branches were left intact for open pollination. On the branches used for artificial pollinations, open flowers and closed buds were removed, leaving only the flowers at stage D, which were later emasculated and self- and cross-pollinated with different cross compatible pollen. The experimental unit was the branch and the total number of branches per treatment
carefree, and hardly shudders at the thought of taming the snakes. Her spontaneous handling of the serpentine creature is noted in the lines, “She had no quarrel with the snakes. They kept down the rats and the frogs.” The narrator’s hint at the importance of the ecological food chain in the lines cannot be overlooked. We find the narrator referring to a large group of animals portraying the exotic reserve of the highlands. We note the mention of not only snakes but also that of black scorpions, rats
2. SENESCENCE AND POSTHARVEST PHYSIOLOGY OF CUT FLOWERS Senescence is a highly ordered, endogenously controlled, active degenerative developmental process that culminates in the death of a cell, tissue, organ or organism (Nooden and Leopold, 1978). Senescence, a genetically regulated process, is largely oxidative in nature involving a general degradation of the cellular structures and the mobilization of the products of degradation to other parts of the plants. The process is mainly characterized
The flowers are honey bearing. Frequently, the tree is planted around houses as an ornamental because of its colorful flowers. What's unusual is the pinkish ovary in the flower's center. The ovary is lopsided and therefore asymmetrical. It arises inside a whorl of ten stamens with hairy-based anthers, and five petals that seem to be slightly asymmetric themselves, but not much. The corolla's slender tube arises from a cup-shaped calyx. Just looking at the flower, it's hard to say what
noteworthy design that is becoming popular is “vine garters” for women, where trailing vines are tattooed around the upper thighs – this is a sexy, feminine and unique design.
