Blog Reflection - 2 - Assignment Example

Please observe your neighborhood (or your own home) and notice the plants growing in peoples yards? Do the plants being cultivated communicate cultural identity? If so, which identity? Tell us about it. And if you had a garden what plants would you want to grow and why?Recently, we have a neighbor who has just made an attempt of growing a ‘cactus’ in a special portion of their backyard. Despite her fondness in exotic plants, our neighbor would say that she misses travelling in the Middle East.

Already this provides me with the notion that the plant is identified to the place where it thrives mostly and since it’s a cactus, we can expect that it would grow and adapt to an arid region where rains are low or seldom. In particular, I can imagine a desert in which extreme drought may take place and thus people who live here depend on oasis or an average body of water available on certain spots so the inhabitants as well as their humped animals with heavy loads abide by the culture of storing food and water for survival within a number of days.

Similarly, due to such an identity, cactus need not be watered as one would an ordinary plant.If I had a garden, I would probably choose to plant and design field slots for roses, gerberas, chrysanthemum, lilies, solidago, gypsophila, and some greenery. I suppose these flowers would altogether produce my desired effect of impacting a splendid atmosphere where I may find conducive to indulge in my fondness to compose poems and savor reading classic literature. It has always been my dream to put up a flower garden composed of lovely fragrant flowers which I believe are highly stimulating to senses, intellect, and overall well-being.
