Hello my dear readers!

Again I want to continue our story about the adventures of two guys who decided to make the most authentic "ABC of flowers".

Eugene came early in the morning, frustrated and even a little crying.

The night before he called and said he wanted to spend time with grandma.

Masha understood, she herself once had for a week leave with his mother to live with distant relatives. But the mother was just away on business, and then...

Well, okay. We have to think about the good, then nothing bad will happen.

After Breakfast the guys went to the coveted Mashkin meadow was found with her four-legged friends and went back to the house.

• And we have that in the garden today will not go? - asked Eugene, Will be again flowers to learn?
• No, in the garden we didn't go, but what I have for you today is made for houseplants not apply.
• Let's start with the fact that today we are going to look at the flower with a name that begins with the letter "C", and until recently unfamiliar to many our compatriots. Either they know about this plant or seen it in Mexican or Brazilian soap operas.

• Yeah, ' agreed the boy, beautiful. How he came to us, this flower?
• Well, let's start with the fact that his birthplace is South Africa. In Europe, it was in the late eighteenth century, but came to Russia in the late twenties and immediately became popular, winning people's hearts and its wonderful view and what a cut flower does not wither during the month. Need only time to change the water.
• It grows we have either in greenhouses or indoors. Only we must remember that a plant that reaches five feet in height. Not everyone will be suitable conditions for growing this wonderful bird house.
• Plus, this flower is capricious. It is necessary for him to maintain the same temperature, time to water and feed. While it is growing, it is necessary every year to repot to have enough space to develop its root system.
• It is propagated by dividing the roots or by seeds. But in one and in other case, wait, the code will start flowering, have a few years.
• Strelitzia can be of different types, the most popular of them are: "Royal", "Caudate", "Strelitzia Nicolai", etc.
• Here is our "bird of Paradise", - finished his story, Masha looked at his friend, who was sitting, mouth Agape. - Well, how do you like it?
• Yeah, barely breathed out of himself, Eugene. You are very good at telling. And what do we do now?
• Let's eat, let's go for a walk, and then, if you have the desire, will write my story and make a sketch. Is?
