       This article talks about the floral themes which dominated the latest trends in the business, clothing, and design industries, in the 19^th century. Architecture and actual species of plants, from contemporary gardens, were used as inspiration for textiles, while real and artificial flowers were popular commodities in trade and economics. However, it only talks about one period of time, and only focuses on Australia/ UK.
       They started as a diverse species to be admired in extravagant gardens yet, today, flowers and plants have transcended the boundaries of time and place. For example, floral patterns are seen on clothing, used as wallpapers (on actual walls or as screensavers). This is significant as some species of plants are only available to people in the upper echelons. So, the idea of having flowers on clothes and other décor makes them more accessible to the public, meaning the popularity and admiration for these organisms will continue to expand.
   
       On page 22, the author emphasises the prominence of flowers in trade by stating that “…artificial flowers were evidently in great colonial demand…” (Anya-Petrivna, 2014). She also indicates that “… as a successful business, the firm continued to import French, English, and German flowers…” (Anya-Petrivna, 2014).
  
  
  Brian Shutes – Food Plants and Medicine
  Shutes, B. (1984). Food plants and medicine. Journal of Biological Education, 18(3), 186.
       This article is about the categorisation of plants/ herbs and their medicinal properties.
  It only focuses on three groups – plants with antiseptic properties, fruits which have anti-inflammatory properties, and cereals/ wheat for consumption. Other groups of plants and vegetation are excluded and so are other medicinal properties. Only focuses on foods used in Britain - does not mention Indigenous uses of herbs and plants for medicine, or information from Europe, and Asia.
        I didn’t know that Garlic was used as an antiseptic in WWI, and some of the vegetables that are mentioned, I did not know had these sorts of properties.
  Different plants and vegetation have a range of uses for healing the ill, infected and wounded. They are not just consumed to alleviate hunger, they can be used for medicinal purposes.
