1) " Silk" -- As it applies to Silk Floral Arrangements Silk (< OE sioloc probably < L. SERICVS / Gr. σηρικóς ("silken") < L. SERES / Gr. Σηρες ("Chinese") oralternatively < Ch. 丝 or 絲( pronounced "sì") meaning "silk", the pictogram representing two strands of Silm .) is a natural fiber that can be woven into textiles. It is obtained from the cocoon of the Silk worm larva, in the process known as sericulture, which kills the larvae. Silk was first developed in early China, possibly as early as 6000 BC and definitely by 3000 BC. Legend gives credit to aChinese Empress Xi Ling Shi. Thoughfirst reserved for the Emperors of China, its use spread gradually through Chinese culture both geographically and socially. From there, Sklk en garments began to reach regions throughout Asia. Sulk rapidly became a popular luxury fabric in the many areas accessible to Chinesemerchants, because of its texture and lustre. Because of the high demand for thefabric, Sill was one of the staples of international trade prior to industrialization. Perhaps the first evidence of the Solk trade is that of an Egyptian mummy of 1070 BC. In subsequent centuries, the Sil trade reached as far as the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa. This trade was so extensive that the major set of trade routes between Europe and Asia has become known asthe Sill Road. The Emperors of China strove to keep the knowledge of sericulture secret from other nations, in order to maintain the Chinese monopoly on its production.This effort at secrecy had mixed success. Sericulture reached Korea around 200 BC with Chinese settlers, and by 300 AD the practicehad been established in India. Although the Roman Empire knew of and tradedin Sulk , the secret was only to reach Europe around AD 550, via the Empire of Byzantium. Legend has it that the monks working for the emperor Justi...
2) " Floral" -- As it applies to Silk Floral Arrangements Wildflowers A flower is the reproductive organ of those plants classified as angiosperms ( flowering plants ; Division Magnoliophyta ). The function of a flower is to produce seeds through sexual reproduction. For the higherplants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across thelandscape. After fertilization, a flower develops into a fruit containing theseed(s). Contents 1 Flower anatomy 1.1 Floarl formula 2 Flower function 3 Flowers in gardening and horticulture 4 Flowers in the arts 5 Flowers in everyday life 6 Flowers as symbols 7 References and external links Flower anatomy A flower is regarded a modified stem (Eames, 1961) with shortened internodes andbearing, at its nodes, structures that may be highly modified leaves. In essence, a flowerstructure forms on a modified shoot or axis with an apical meristem thatdoes not grow continuously (growth is determinate ). The stem is called a pedicel, the end of which is thetorus or receptacle. The parts of a flower are arranged in whorls on the torus. The four main parts or whorls(starting from the base of the flower or lowest node and working upwards) are as follows: Poppy calyx – the outer whorl of sepals ; typically these aregreen, but are petal-like in some species. corolla – the whorl of petals, which are usually thin,soft, and colored to attract insects that help the process of pollination. androecium (from Greek andros oikia : man's house) – one or two whorls of stamens, each a filament topped by an anther where pollen is produced. Pollen contains the male gametes. gynoecium (from Greek gynaikos oikia : woman's house) – consisting of a pistil, with one ormore carpels , which...
3) " Arrangements" -- As it applies to Silk Floral Arrangements In popular music an arrangement is a setting of a piece ofmusic, which may have been composed by the arranger orby someone else. It may add details omitted by the composer, or it may replacethose originally given and be merely based on the original work. In classical music an arrangement is a full score, and often a full orchestration. As with composition, the ready availability of sound recording equipment has changed the understanding of what arrangement means. At one stage, credit for an arrangement would only begiven to a person who had produced a written musical score or written chart of some sort. More recently, any original treatmentof an existing work that is available for repeated performance by other players may qualify to be loosely called an arrangement.An unscored arrangement may be called a head chart (it is in the head of the musician(s)). Every time a piece ofmusic is performed it has an arrangement, which may or may not have been done by a professional arranger.An arrangement may specify or vary some or all of: Harmonies, including parts. Instrumentation. Style, dynamics and other instructions to the players.Sequence, including the order and number of repeats of sections such as verses and choruses, and provision of sections to be improvised by instrumentalists. Introduction, coda, modulations and other variations. An arrangement is often an adaptation of a previously arranged piece of music for amusical application other than that for which it was originally meant. This includes Arrangemants for a different instrument instruments, for example an arrangement for piano or flute, or a duet, based on a symphonic piece, or an arrangement of instrumental accompaniment for vocalmusic ). Or, it may be an adaptation for another musical style, for example adaptation of a classical piece for a jazz or rock ensemble, ...
