Do you want to know what will be your luck on the future? Why don’t try to have some fortune cookies more especially during New Years’ time? I have seen a lot of fortune cookies in the form of metal, plastic or other trinket, but on last quarter of the year 2010; I had received lots of fortune cookies. Yes, they are real, crunchy and yummy! When you open it, there are certain messages saying about your luck. Well, I’m personally don’t believe with it. I just enjoyed the taste of these real cookies.

Pot marigold, also known by its scientific name Calendula officinalis. When I first heard about the name Pot Marigold, I thought that they are plants that are commonly grown in pots. But the name actually came from one of their many uses in food. This edible flower was called a “pot herb” and was tossed into the stew or vegetable pot.

I also heard that when special someone gave you Marigold, it symbolizes their everlasting love to you. I love the color of the Marigold while in fact they bloom all year round.

Pot Marigold or Calendula has been used traditionally for abdominal cramps, constipation, helps regulate the menstrual cycle. Pot marigold is used as an skin healer (including mild burns as well as sunburn), antiseptic, cleanser, and detoxifier. It also has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

I love this beautiful, exotic fuchsia flower with striking two-tone colors. Fuchsia flowers shape is quite unusual and they are really delicate. I usually see them anywhere in the garden but it’s best if they were hang in a baskets on the patio. Fuchsias are also popular garden shrubs, and once planted can live for years with a minimal amount of care.

Fuchsia is often misspelled as fuschia in English. That’s why there’s a mini fun story about it that if someone will ask you to spell Fuchsia, you will immediately say “I’d rather spell Red because it’s too short” But the truth is you are a bit confused with the correct spelling of Fuchsia.
