CULTIVATION OF NEW TYPES OF FLOWERS 🌹🌺

Hello everyone,
Today I give you some information about cultivation of new types of flowers :) I had this on school so I translated it and put this a little bit in my own words :P I am not the best in English but Ihope you understand it :D

The cultivation of new types of flowers is a speciality in the floral industry. It often goes along with breeding.

Breeding is the technique that deliberately hereditary characteristics of flowers changes, with the aim of a stronger kind of flower to grow attempting to make a stronger flower. If such a change takes place spontaneously in nature, we call it a mutation. This is done by human intervention, then it is called breeding.
If it's not going in the first place to get a stronger flower but simply to a new shape, color or smell then the term breeding is less applicable. The flower itself is not substantially improved in quality and shelf life

This is a mutation.

If a breeder may have developed such a flower, it is important to register officially this new variety. The grower can now go try or the new flower does well on the market.

On tulips may even be twenty years before the right kind of seed is developed and cultivated. Despite modern facilities such as laboratories and research centres, it is also a matter of luck and thought out Act. Maybe it will ever be possible to develop a black Tulip, but maybe not ...
