Chinese Lantern Festival

Transcript: "The first month of the Chinese calendar is called yuan month, and in ancient times people called night xiao; therefore, the day is called Yuan Xiao Festival in China and Taiwan. The fifteenth day is the first night to see a full moon in that lunar year. According to Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve puzzles on lanterns, eat yuanxiao (rice balls) and enjoy a family reunion."-Wikipedia It's common Chinese custom to celebrate New Year over the course of fifteen days, rather than how we usually celebrate it. And while our way of celebration is simple, and mostly common knowledge, the Chinese have hundreds of different traditions, and on the final day, they have the extravagant (I really don't care if I spelled that wrong) and joyous Lantern Festival. The stories of how the tradition came to be have dated back millenia, and there is no one concrete way of knowing which is true. The most well known ones are... Only to be killed by some villagers for no apparent reason, which angered the Jade Emperor god in Heaven. Thinking it a bit overkill for a city to burn for killing a bird, the emperor's daughter alerted the villagers. Thinking quickly, they lit lanterns around their city, making it look like it was already on fire. Apparently this appeased the emperor, and he left them alone, never thinking to look again. Since then, people celebrate their lack of incineration with fireworks, food, and lanterns every fifteenth lunar day. Polytheistic China had numerous deities to worship, likely the most well liked was Taiyi, the god of Heaven. It was believed he controlled all of man's destiny, and decided when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings. The first Chinese Emperor, Qinshihuang, ordered one day a year be dedicated to worshipping him with fantastically colored lanterns, and to prey for favorable weather and prosperity. Nice. ...light up to thousands of lanterns on every building and on cables stretching across each city, making these regions visible form miles and miles up. The third legend is that of a "beautiful" crane coming down from the heavens. Another story tells how a warrior named Lan Moon led a courageous rebellion agains the tyrannical king of Ancient China. When the rebels stormed the King's city, Moon died in the ensuing battle. Once the rebels were victorious, they wished to commemorate his memory by celebrating his bravery and lighting lanterns on the Day of the Full Moon. Their angry emperor planned to engulf the peasant's village in a storm of fire, which is obviously justified, because of that beautiful bird. Chinese Lantern Festival Regardless of how many stories there are, every "fifteenth day of the first month" is a day of celebration throughout China, Mongolia, Singapore and Malaysia. People party in the streets as if there were no tomorrow, eating, shoothing fireworks, dancing, going to parades of guys in dragon costumes, and of course...

Transcript: The Sandplain Duck Orchid flowers much later than other associated orchids, from October to January, with flowering being more profuse after summer fire. By the time of flowering, the leaf is often dry and withered due to the hot summer temperatures. However, by producing a nutrient rich, fleshy flower stem, this species is able to cope with harsh summer conditions. The species is dormant between December and late April. the resale vaue of the orchid is 13.99 if you return it to the place you get it from but if not the price will be more To prepare the cutting, remove the lower leaves and cut beneath a node using sharp secateurs. Nip out any buds or flowers and also remove large leaves. Plant require ments Insects that harm the plant Watering- Moth orchids have no water storage organs other than their leaves, so you shouldn’t let them dry out completely. Thoroughly water potting mix, but do let water sit in the crown of the plant as this can lead to fungal problems. Let the water drain before returning to its position and don’t sit the plant in a saucer. In most cases, watering once every seven days is enough. sunlight- Strong light, but not direct late-afternoon sunlight (although dendrobiums can handle more sun) High humidity Turbulent air flow around the roots Regular periods of drying, alternating with drenching rains Temperatures between 50 degrees Fahrenheit and about 85 degree Fahrenheit. necessary nutrients- While this may look like yet another case of autotroph posing as heterotroph, it’s not the one you think. Caleana major’s flowers are designed to attract male sawflies. When the flies enter the larger ‘body’ portion of the flower, the ‘neck and head’ portion of the flower snaps closed behind them. For about a minute or so, the sawflies buzz around in a slight frenzy and become coated in pollen. This ensures that flower pollinates itself and any pollen remaining on the fly travels with it to the next flower. - Phalaenopsis. Disease spreads so rapidly that plants may be completely rotted in 2 to 3 days. The bacteria are opportunistic organisms that can enter through wounds. - Dendrobium. Leaves appear yellow and water-soaked and become black and sunken. - Vanda. Leaves develop translucent patches which become black and sunken. - Paphiopedilum. Leaves develop small, round spots often near the middle of the leaf. The spots are initially yellow and water-soaked but eventually become reddish brown and sunken. The spot enlarges in all directions and may reach the growing crown before the leaf tip is affected. If untreated, the disease quickly spreads throughout the plant, leaving it a dark, shriveled mass. - Grammatophyllum. Leaves have water-soaked, browning spots which become black and sunken.

Although typical household plant pests can attack orchids, the most common insect Phalaenopsis orchid invaders are scale insects and mealy bugs. Cutting of the plant Transporting Life Cycle Plant diseases Soak the orchid's pot in water for several hours before transplanting. Remove the orchid from the pot. Shake off any loose soil and then soak the roots in cool water or rinse them under cool running water. Inspect the plant carefully. Divide the orchid if you want to make multiple plants. Put a single layer of clean small stones in the bottom of each pot to help with drainage. Fill the new pots with a potting medium specifically designed for orchids. Water the soil to make it damp before putting the plant in. Leave the newly transplanted orchids in shade for 7 to 10 days while they adjust. Move the plants back into the sunlight and resume regular watering.

Chinese Lantern Instructions

Transcript: Finally, in pencil, neatly write your name on one end of the strip you cut off the paper in step 3. Placing the name side down, attach the handle by taping, gluing, or stapling the ends of the strip of the paper just inside the top of the lantern. You can now color or embellish the outside of the lantern with characters, words, or designs. Next, fold the piece of paper in half, lengthwise, making sure you line up all the edges. If your paper has a 'right' and 'wrong' side, you will want to make sure the wrong side (the side that will be on the inside of your lantern) facing out at this point. Draw a line along the open, long edge, of the paper, 3/4" of an inch from the edge. Once all your strips are cut, you should unfold your piece of paper and refold it lenghthwise so the pencil mark will be hidden on the inside. Chinese Lantern Use the ruler and make a straight line 3/4" away from one of the short edges. Cut this strip off and set it aside to be the lantern handle. To assemble the lantern simply roll the paper into a tube shape as shown in the photo above and staple, glue or tape the edges together. Now, take your scissors and, starting at the folded edge, cut a strip from the folded edge up to the line you drew. Make the first strip 3/4" away from one of the short edges and continue to cut several strips along the piece of paper like shown in the picture above. Supplies Needed: one piece of construction paper pencil ruler scissors tape, glue, or stapler colored pencils/crayons
