All About Flowers

zeze007 asked:


I want to know if you can use horticulture or even if there is even a slight link to crop rotation to describe the following: The process farmers use whereby they maintain the efficiency and nutrients of the soil. If there is a way to link them, please explain it to me and cite how you proved it.

I recorded my Amaryllis flower with my webcam for a month, taking 1 photo every 13m 20s. It is played back here at 25 frames per second to Liz Phair’s song “Flower”. This is my first attempt at timelapse photography, so it’s not perfect, but not bad.

Horticulture is the science or art (HOW IS IT LIKE ART) of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants. Term can be broken down into two Latin words: hortus (garden) and cultus (tilling). As William L. George explains in his definition of horticulture: “Horticulture involves five areas of study. These areas are floriculture (includes production and marketing of floral crops), landscape horticulture (includes production, marketing and maintenance of landscape plants), olericulture (includes production and marketing of vegetables), pomology (includes production and marketing of fruits), and postharvest physiology which involves maintaining quality and preventing spoilage of horticultural crops.”
