The Floral Biome 

A floral biome, in the context of flower essences, refers to the unique ecosystem or environment where specific flowers grow and thrive. It encompasses the geographical location, climate, soil composition, and surrounding flora and fauna that influence the growth and development of these flowers. This plays a crucial role in determining the quality and characteristics of the flower and the overall energetics.

Interesting flower FAQ's

Did you know that flowers carry their own frequency in the form of vibrations?

According to a study conducted by the National Library of Medicine, vibrations play an important role in diverse biological interactions involving plants. High-frequency vibrations travel through flowers, with “floral vibrations conserving their dominant frequency (300 Hz) as they are transmitted throughout the flower”.

Floral vibrations, also known as sonications, are a method of communication, referring to the physical vibrating movements created through their internal structures, where specialized cells and tissues oscillate at rapid rates. These bio-mechanical properties enable flowers to generate vibrations to attract visiting pollinators such as bees, who then trigger the flower's internal structures to release pollen. Flowers are truly fascinating.
