Saint Patrick's Day may not be considered a day to get your sweetheart some flowers, but really, do you need a holiday as an excuse to get your beloved something nice? With this in mind, then, we've decided to do a feature on this month's flower spotlight -- in honor of Saint Patrick's Day, we present to you the Bells of Ireland.   

First, and foremost, despite its name, the Bells of Ireland do not, in fact, originate in Ireland. Rather, they are native to the hot, almost-desert like lands of Syria, Turkey, and the Caucuses (i.e., Armenia). They're said, in these regions, to bring the lucky recipients the "luck of the Irish," hence their name "Bells of Ireland."

Second, because they grow in such hardy circumstances, they also propagate very quickly. However, be aware that they don't take transfers very well, so once you plant them, make sure you can do all you can to keep them where they are. In addition, it also takes about 30 days for the plants to reach their full maturity.

Third, did you know that these plants are members of the mint family? They can be presented as fresh or dried -- if you're going to present them dried, be sure to pick them and dry them during the springtime, when they're at their peak, for the best scent possible. In addition, because they grow best in soil with a lot of nitrogen, it's recommended that you plant them with such flowers as the lantana, the zinnia, and the sunflower.
