The Color of Emperors
Purple is the marriage of opposites, a mixture of (hot) color and (cold) one. It is much (energetic) than any other color and (powerful) color of the rainbow. The green planet that we call home may have actually looked purple in (early) days, according to the "Purple Earth theory." There were (tiny) microorganisms that dominated the planet and possibly created (pure) purple hue that could be seen from space. (Late) times (saturated) hues of purple were adopted by ancient (up) class. Imperial purple became the monopoly of Roman emperors who prohibited their citizens from wearing purple clothing under penalty of death, though (poor) citizens couldn’t afford it — a pound of purple wool was much (expensive) than most people earned in a year. Purple was (favorite) color of Egypt’s Cleopatra known for her (extraordinary) purple sails ship of the time. Purple has survived for centuries, has been (legislated) color in history, has sent men to their deaths and yet still causes most people to smile when they look at it. But this may be (big) threat purple has ever faced.

Flowers
I think that flowers are the most amazing creation on Earth. Thanks to their wonderful properties, they are able to purify the air in the room, be medicines. But perhaps most importantly, they are a decoration and delight the eyes of everyone who loves them.
In our family, flowers are always there, they are everywhere: on the windowsills, on the balcony, in the garden, and on the table in a crystal vase.
I have a love for these amazing plants from my mother, she has long been engaged in floriculture, all the time planting new varieties, especially loves roses. By assisting
she is in the garden, I hear a lot of very interesting stories about these amazing flowers. She knows a lot, reads a lot, so I want to share my knowledge. It is believed that this is very interesting and sometimes just amazing.
There is, for example, such a flower as "puya raimondii", it blooms once in a lifetime, but blooms only when the plant reaches the age of one hundred and fifty years! This flower is recognized by scientists of the world as the most rarely blooming on the whole planet. It is a pity that after flowering it dies. There is a flower clock that was invented by Carl Linnaeus, who lived in Sweden.
He was studying the flowers, found that some types of
they can flourish, and they are strongly modified at this time. Conducting his research and understanding what flowers bloom at what time, he laid them out in the form of hour hands and turned out a unique "device" for determining the time. One problem – they did not want to bloom, if it was overcast, give them the sun!
From my mother, I learned that the smallest flower is “duckweed floating”, it reaches 1 mm, and the largest, about ninety centimeters in Rafflesia Arnoldi. I also learned that some flowers naturally grow in places where there are certain types of minerals, explorers use this feature, and flowers, as pointers, help them in their search. Some flowers, such as roses, have a rich symbolism that is directly related to relationships among people.
The meaning of the color language is complex and very diverse. For example, red roses, as a sign of respect and love, are given to mothers and grandmothers for serious celebrations. The white color of roses means purity and innocence, so they are often given to young ladies by young men in love.
The pink color of the flower means sympathy, that's what they get on the first date. My mother has a very interesting story about cream-and-white roses, she now receives them every year from my father on their wedding day, this has become a tradition in our family since the very first day of my parents ' life together.
Knowing about my mother's love for flowers, my father often tries to pamper her, bringing home not only bouquets of roses, but also an armful of field daisies, or a small, but so great-smelling bouquet of lilies of the valley. Getting flowers is always a pleasure!
