Human Flower Project
- The Human Flower Project is an international newsgroup, photo album and discussion of the connection between people and flowers.
I am a writer in Austin, TX. Working on a book about Texas flower customs, I began the weblog in September 2004, with help from dear friends and two wizards at pmachine.com, Leslie and Chris. Coming from a background in sociology, literature, and journalism, my primary flower interests run along those lines. What are your interests? Making daily posts, I want to share this space with anyone who has observations, photos or stories about how the lives of people and flowers intersect.
Please post comments (it’s easy) or send submissions of photos and/or commentary to Julie@humanflowerproject.com
From the mourners of a Neanderthal man buried with flowers in 60,000 B.C.. to today’s megawatt floral designers on HGTV, people have turned to flowers out of anxiety, necessity and joy.
By studying flowers, we look into human emotion and value. Since the flower trade is global, and has been for centuries, by following the circuit of plants across the world, we track international relations and economics.
Seeing how artists represent flowers, we re-experience what it is to be living temporarily, alongside life in many forms different from ourselves.
Welcome!

Patio by Jamie Durie
- I believe that just as much emphasis should be placed on renovating the garden, as renovating the kitchen or bathroom or any other room inside. If we plan our outdoor space well and spend some time to create a space that is an extension of us, and our home, it becomes another 'room' for us to live in. I call this space The Outdoor Room.

UBC Botanical Garden
- Welcome to the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research located in Vancouver, Canada. Our mission is excellence in plant research, education and conservation. Please visit and enjoy this garden of science and beauty.
Canada's oldest continuously operating university botanic garden, UBC Botanical Garden was established in 1916 under the directorship of John Davidson, British Columbia's first provincial botanist. The original mission of the garden was research into the native flora of British Columbia.
Over the past nine decades, the mission of UBC Botanical Garden has broadened to include research, conservation, teaching and public display of temperate plants from around the world, particularly Asian, alpine and native plants.
The UBC Centre for Plant Research is the research arm of the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research. World-class research on topics including plant adaptation, evolution, genomics, plant physiology and biotic interactions, phytochemistry, plant biotechnology and plant breeding contribute to the University of British Columbia's reputation as one of the leading research institutions in North America.
