Phillies Phan Bouquet 4th of July in Philadelphia - 2020 Life has changed in 2020 not only for the United States but also for the majority of us around the globe. Philadelphia has historically been one of the best cities to celebrate the US independence day or 4th of July as it is most commonly called. However for the first time in 28 years there will not be crowded concerts and fireworks celebrations. Instead Philly's Fourth of July party will be a virtual celebration. Citizen's are asked to watch the festivities from their homes. They will be broadcast live from a location in Philadelphia. According the City Mayor Jim Kenney, The Wawa Welcome America festival has been moved to virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic. Mayor Kenney portrays positive leadership by stating “Philadelphia is a city of strong traditions, and I’m excited to see this tradition continue". The virtual celebration will be free and will be a seven day event. One positive aspect of a virtual festival and concert is that the audience will most likely be larger than ever before. And people will be safe. Of course locations where people typically gather will be secured and there will be no access to jumbotrons to watch the concert. There is still talk of fireworks but the Mayor said those details are still in the planning stages. Regardless these displays will not allow for the general public to view onsite. Just like in all parts of America, social distancing is the current [...]

Best Dad Blooming Basket Father's Day The official recognition of Father's Day took many years and attempts to finally make it. In 1908 an observance honoring fathers was held after the death of many miners, 250 of which were fathers. Grace Clayton's father was on of those killed in the mining disaster in West Virginia. Grace asked the pastor Robert Webb to honor all of the fathers lost. This observance stayed within the small community and did not create a nationwide Father's Day Observance. In 1915 a man by the name of Harry C. Meek, who was a member of the Lions Club, claimed that Father's Day was his idea. He wanted Father's Day to fall on the third Sunday in June. The Lions Club International elected to give him the official designation as the "Originator of Father's Day". Mr. Meek continued his quest to promote Father's Day as an official holiday. Having received countless requests for a special day to honor fathers, President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 proclaimed a day should be recognized as a federal holiday. This was during a speech he gave in Spokane at a Father's Day celebration. However, when the concept reached Congress it was denied. The majority of the members in Congress were concerned that it would become too commercialized and the true meaning would be all about companies profiting. President Calvin Coolidge suggested a recognition for Father's Day in 1924. Then in 1957, Senator Margaret Chase Smith spoke out that Congress had been ignoring fathers for over 40 years and had only been honoring mothers. Then in 1966 the first proclamation of Father's Day was issued by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It was declared that the day to honor all fathers would be the third Sunday in June. This became a permanent holiday in 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law. Other noteworthy examples of people promoting Father's Day were illustrated over the years. One example was Sonora Dodd. Her father had fought in the civil war and had become the single parent of [...]

Penny's By Plaza Flowers will help you get ready for the arrival of summer with beautiful summer time flowers! Summer Porch Pots Summer Flowers Summer’s heat and humidity makes it difficult for some plants and flowers to survive. However, there are certain varieties of flowers that thrive in the hot sun. When you purchase flowers for your garden, the tags the nurseries put on them are extremely helpful. For example if a tag reads "full sun" that typically means you should find a place in the garden where the sun light will be present for six or more hours. Conversely if the tag reads "shade", you should plant the flower in an area of the garden that may only receive a small amount of morning sun. If you are looking for summer flowers, below is a short list of some you might consider: Lantana - This flower comes in yellow, purple and pink. It is extremely heat and drought resistant. The sweet smelling blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Depending on how cold the winters get, it may survive as a shrub. Canna - Blooming all summer long, the Canna is a beautiful tropical flower. They cannot survive the cold of winter so they have to be stored inside and replanted in the spring. Portulaca - Very heat and drought tolerant, the Portulaca is a low-growing succulent. It is best used in rock gardens and in full sun. Salvia - The Salvia is [...]

In ancient Greece, if men ate the swollen roots or tubers of orchids, it was thought that his unborn child would be a boy. If the woman ate the smaller parts of the orchid roots it was thought she was carrying a female baby. Orchids symbolized luxury during the Victorian era. In modern times the orchid represents rare and delicate beauty. It is also a flower that is widely known as the "flower of the 14th wedding anniversary". There is sometimes a perception that the orchid is so full of grace that it is inaccessible. Like other flowers, the orchid has different symbolic meaning related to the color of the flower. Below are the many different meanings: Pink - seduction and sensuality is the message one is conveying when they display or gift a pink orchid. Often it is a present given while having a romantic dinner with someone you really care about. Yellow - this color symbolizes eroticism and warm love. Often the yellow orchid is given by a spouse for a wedding anniversary. It lets your significant other know that they are always and forever wanted. Black - the black orchid is sort of in a category of its own. The symbolism it exudes is more of power and authority. It still possesses the meaning of fertility, so it can represent complete submission in the high confidence one has in their partner. White - The white orchid is often used in bridal bouquets. This is because the meaning translation is one of extra pure and innocent love. White orchids can also represent spiritual and moral purity. This is another reason the white orchid is a favorite for most weddings. Red - Passion is what the red orchid portrays. It is a very direct message intended to express the desire to make love. Sometimes they are used in place of the ever so popular red rose on Valentine's Day. Blue - The blue orchid in some cultures symbolizes making a wish that comes true. It gives a sense of eternal hope and the fighting spirit of finding an otherwise impossible love. Penny's By Plaza Flowers has a wide variety of lovely orchids to choose from.

They do this by trapping these harmful chemicals in the soil they are in. Microorganisms in their root systems then convert the chemicals to food.

In addition, these patients tend to have lower heart rates, blood pressure, less fatigue and anxiety. Consequently the patients are released from the hospitals sooner.
