Planted In Flower Pot:
Green foods—Best choice is sproutings of bird seed planted in flower pot saucers (see Part III); otherwise, use ready-planted seed bought at pet shops; fresh, green, crisp lettuce may be given; when available, give fresh apple, wild chickweed, or fresh young weed growth; all green food must be clean, fresh, and dry.
Fasten several pieces in convenient places; replace with fresh pieces monthly.
Use flower pot saucer or other small dish; place in cage at same time each morning; remove after bath.Some years ago I remembered reading an article in Flower cu Garden (April, 1979) which reported that Joseph Dayton had succes fully planted water lilies in two 12-gallon sauerkraut crocks (1 inches wide by 24 inches deep). The lilies were planted in 8-inch cl< pots, and they bloomed, each plant bearing 4 to 6 flowers. I decide to try it for myself. I bought a tub, washed it out carefully, and let it sit in the sun f a few days.
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.
