		In the last Tantra (or Fourth Text), in the last section dealing with Accessory Therapies, massage is outlined under the heading of "Wind: Massage with Sesame oil".
		Just as the lotus flower’s graceful petals unfold layer upon layer, so does grace within us unfold revealing layer upon layer of beauty.

		With survival and recovery, home is when the wind petals fall; home is when there is the victory of being where one might be.

		- the sequence of motivation from Quarry Hill - Megan to Jessica, and passing it on.

	Flowers, fruits
		Wind pollinated flowers are usually small, and incomplete; since the wind carries their pollen, they do not need showy floral parts, like petals, to attract pollinators.
		Flowers are often described by the position of the ovary relative to the other floral parts.
		In some flowers, the petals are fused together to form a corolla tube; the same may be true of the sepals, and stamens.

	Paghat's Garden: Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Red Clock'
		When fully ripened the pulsatilla seeds are scattered by the wind, hence another common name, Wind Flower, for anemones & pulsatillas alike.
		Pulsatillas & anemones share many of the same common names; Anemone nemorosa for instance is likewise sometimes called Smell Fox, & reportedly has a bad odor, though I cannot smell anything nasty from our wood anemones, which seem scentless.
		It was believed that the flowers closing early in the day fortold stormy weather; or they were said to close their petals at night because fairies slept within.

	Hyacinthus • San Francisco
		It was said that Zephyrus (the West wind), who was also fond of Hyacinthus and jealous of his preference of Apollo, blew the quoit out of its course to make it strike Hyacinthus.
		Homer’s hyacinth is the blue larkspur-hyacinthos grapta-which has markings on the base of its petals resembling the early Greek letters AI; it had also been sacred to Cretan Hyacinthus.
		But the West Wind had also taken a fancy to Hyacinthus, and became insanely jealous of Apollo, who was one day teaching the boy how to hurl a discus, when the West Wind caught it in mid-air, dashed it against Hyacinthus’s skull, and killed him.

	Pocono Record Online: Goldenrod besmirched as allergen
		Their pollen is too heavy and sticky to spread in the wind, and they rely instead on insects to cross-pollinate their flowers.
		The petals of the individual flowers have been fused together to form the florets, and a single "petal" of a daisy, sunflower or goldenrod is actually an entire flower with several petals fused together and a full array of reproductive parts at its base.
		Common Pocono species include the lance-leaf goldenrod, with its narrow leaves and flat-topped flower cluster; rough goldenrod, with its hairy stem and leaves and plume-like flowers; Canada goldenrod, with its conspicuous ball-like galls along its tall stem; blue-stem goldenrod, a woodland species with a delicate, wand-like, bluish stem; and silverrod, our only white goldenrod.

	Chuck's Plant Families of New York State - Class Liliopsida

	flower power
		Depending upon the type of flower, the pollen is either carried by wind or animals to the stigma.
		Wind-pollinated flowers lack showy petals or sepals, and the stigmas and anthers are elevated to easily catch and release pollen.
		The videotape of each group's performance and the homework will be used to assess the students' ability to work in a cooperative group as well as their ability to describe the pollination and fertilization process.

	Amazon.com: Books: The Makioka Sisters
		The youth and beauty of the Makioka sisters and their world is to scatter in the wind like the petals of so many cherry blossoms.
		The Makioka Sisters is very much a story about a family, a nation, and a culture on the brink of violent change.
		Taeko, the youngest sister, doesn't want to deal with the family's aristocratic pretensions, which are rapidly becoming obsolete, so she wears Western clothes, smokes cigarettes, and spends most of her time away from home.

	The Mirror, Chapter 2
		Bare trees swayed to the old music of the winter wind as a cold rain beat down.
		Flakes of light like rose petals fluttered downwards, covering the mirror-pool, the petals dissipating.
		In the pool, a row of apartment houses appeared.

	Tansy - Invasive? - UBC Botanical Garden Forums
		The most obvious difference between the two is that the flower of the common tansy has no 'petals' and appears to be a yellow button, while the flower of tansy ragwort does have 'petals' (technically, ray florets).
		They spread by making millions of seeds that float on the wind and get everywhere.
		Plus it spreads like crazy (and so does common tansy, which is why it is a noxious weed in some other areas).

	Cherry Blossoms -- Recommendations and Resources
		Blossom trees have a tendency to lose their flower petals in wind blown cascades often covering the surrounding ground in petals.
		Blossoms are either pink or white depending on the species or variety.
		This attribute tends to distinguish ''blossom'' trees from other flowering trees.

	Flower Structure
		The stamens, or male parts of the flower, are contained within the tube of petals.
		Positioned above the ovary is the pappus, a cluster of bristle-like filaments that facilitates wind blown dispersion of the achene.
		Disc flowers have 5 petals fused together to form a tube (blue).

	Flowers in Greek Mythology
		It is said that that the wind which blows the blossoms open, will soon afterwards blow the petals away; so it is called the Anemone, or Wind Flower, for that which brings forth its life, ends it.
		Adonis used his spear to strike back to Ares, but was soon gored to death by the boar's great tusks.
		As Adonis chased game through the forest, the goddess would follow closely behind, in her swan-driven chariot, dressed as a huntress.

	Antelope Valley Poppies
		The lack of wind is a very important factor when photographing the poppies, not only is it easier to get a good shot when the poppies are not blowing in the breeze, but if the wind is high the poppies close their petals and you loose the impact of the full bloom.
		The orange California Poppy is definitely the star of the show with a supporting cast of yellow Fiddlenecks, Coreopsis, Goldfields, and Cream Cups, and a splash of purple from Lacy Phacelia, Lupine, and Davy Gilia.
		The California Poppy can be seen in numerous places throughout southern California, but only in the Antelope Valley do they blanket entire hillsides in an ocean of orange blooms.

		Anemone flowers have no true petals, but their sepals assume the role of petals, as showy as any true corolla.
		Wood anemone flowers appear to be delicate, but have enough substance to resist wind and rain damage for two or three weeks of bloom.
		My acquaintance with anemones in the garden began more than 20 years ago with `Alba Plena.' Wanting to learn more about their origins, I searched in old library books about European wildflowers.

	'It's all pure structure, like a dinosaur skeleton'
		Calatrava is inspired by natural forms in movement — waves undulating, trees bending to the wind, flower petals opening.
		At 45 years old, the Spanish-born architect is already well known in his native country as well as in the rest of Europe, where most of his train stations, bridges and other major public structures have been built.
		To introduce Americans to its architect of choice, the Milwaukee Art Museum has organized a retrospective of Calatrava's work, consisting of models, sketches and other documentation of 14 of his projects.

		Others have evolved brightly-colored petals, scents and nectar to attract insect and animal pollinators such as bees, beetles, bats, hummingbirds and butterflies.
		Plants that produce great quantities of pollen depend on wind to carry it from stamen to pistil (corn, wheat, grasses, ragweed).
		Feathery antennae help them locate the scent of other Cecropia's, they mate, lay eggs and then run out of energy and die.
