Everlasti Flower With Clover-like:
The globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa) is a tropical everlasti flower with clover-like blossoms in shimmering iridescent colors.' flowers will keep their color for a long time and are fine for border and vase. Globe amaranth also makes an excellent pot planti Colors include orange, purple, pink, dark blue, and white. The plants1 like full sun, are about a foot high, and should be spaced 8 inches apart. They are half-hardy annuals.There need be no question in your mind about the market for good flower photography. One of the big slide film distributors has found flower fanciers the most consistent buy ers of all among slide collectors, even though the pictures offered are strictly of specimen flowers. These cannot possibly have the same appeal as pictures of flowers grown by the buyer in his own soil. The only flower fancier who is not an eager prospect for pictures of his blooms is one who has never seen a color slide transparency of a beautiful flower projected. A close-up of a lovely flower on a screen is a sight to make anyone, flower lover or not, gasp at its beauty.
Whether to add white or Dutch clover is a matter of individual preference. It withstands drought better than grass but does not stand wear well. It should never be used in turf on which games are played. Five percent clover seed is ample in any mixture. If you buy mixtures study their analysis before purchasing and when comparing prices. Avoid those containing excessive amounts of temporary grasses and "inert" matter (usually mostly chaff).
