The coral rose meaning and significance is a bridge between the yellow rose symbolism of friendship and the red rose symbolism of love. Coral roses primarily stand for passion, desire, and enthusiasm. Coral roses have become wildly popular since their appearance in the 20th century as a result of advancing hybrid techniques because of their beauty and symbolism. Their bright color immediately brings forth thoughts of romance. They also remind us of a beautiful sunset or the sweet smell of citrus oranges.</p> <p align="center" class="style4">Reasons to Give Coral Roses</p> <p align="left" class="flirting">For Flirting</p> <p align="left" class="parone">Coral roses symbolize desire. They are a step down from the deeply passionate and intense "love" symbolism of the red rose. They are a step up from the "wonderful friendship" symbolism of the yellow rose. Coral roses are perfect for telling your crush that you are smiting with them! They are are great flower to hint to that special someone that they definitely "have your attention".</p> <p align="left" class="flirting">For First Dates</p> <p align="left" class="parone">Coral roses are a great choice to give on a first date! They symbolize enthusiasm and say to your date, "I like where our friendship is going!". They are a gorgeous warm color. Giving your date a vibrant bouquet of coral roses won't intimidate your date like a dozen of long stemmed red roses would. They bring forth feelings of excitement and encouragement and will encourage your date to have fun!</p> <p align="left" class="flirting">For Taking It To The Next Level</p> <p align="left" class="parone">Coral roses bridge that undefined gap between just being friends and passionate lovers. By giving your special "friend" a luscious arrangement of coral roses you are telling that person that you want them! You want to be more than friends and those roses will absolutely make that clear.</p> <p align="left" class="flirting">For Other Reasons </p> <p align="left" class="parone">Coral Roses are eye catching in color. They tend to have a combination of coral, pink, and creamy-yellow colored petals. They are a cheerful rose. They are perfect for saying "good job", "good luck" and "YAY!! Congratulations!".</p> <p align="left" class="parone"> </p> </body> </html>

<p class="par"><span class="par">Corals are marine organisms in class Anthozoa of phylum Cnidaria typically living in compact colonies of many identical individual "polyps". The group includes the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans, which secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton. </p>
<p class="par"> A coral "head," which appears to be a single organism, is a colony of myriad genetically identical polyps. Each polyp is typically only a few millimeters in diameter. Over many generations the colony secretes a skeleton that is characteristic of the species. Individual heads grow by asexual reproduction of individual polyps. Corals also breed sexually by spawning. Polyps of the same species release gametes simultaneously over a period of one to several nights around a full moon.</p>
<p class="par">Although corals can catch small fish and animals such as plankton using stinging cells on their tentacles, most corals obtain most of their energy and nutrients from photosynthetic unicellular algae called zooxanthellae. Such corals require sunlight and grow in clear, shallow water, typically at depths shallower than 60 metres (200 ft). </p>
<p class="par">Corals can be major contributors to the physical structure of the coral reefs that develop in tropical and subtropical waters, such as the enormous Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Other corals do not have associated algae and can live in much deeper water, with the cold-water genus Lophelia surviving as deep as 3,000 metres (9,800 ft).[3] </p><p class="par">Examples live on the Darwin Mounds located north-west of Cape Wrath, Scotland. Corals have also been found off the coast of the U.S. in Washington state and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. Corals coordinate behavior by communicating with each other.
</p><p class="par">Coral's many colors give it appeal for necklaces and other jewelry. Intensely red coral is prized as a gemstone. It is sometimes called fire coral, but is not the same as fire coral. Red coral is very rare because of overharvesting due to the great demand for perfect specimens.-from wikipidia</p>

Web Design, The color coral
When I think of the color coral, the first initial image that comes to mind is the warm contrast of coral against desaturated teals and greens in Hindu artwork. I also think of beautiful jewelry and shells etc.
Coral is a warm tone in color theory and is used often in artwork to create a sense of warmth. Coral is one of my favorite colors because it is vibrant yet not as striking as yellow, orange or red. It is naturally a "higher key" hue.
Here is a little research I found on the internet pertaining to coral:

Coral is a "popular" female's first name and a common surname. It is of Latin origin and it from the late 19th century coinage.
Coral and coral pink are popular colors in interior design to give a calm feeling of warmth to a room.
In some sects of Hinduism, coral red instead of red is shown as being the color which represents the first (muladhara) chakra in Hindu philosophy.
Coral is one of the official colors of the Miami Dolphins football team.
The various shades of the color coral are representations of the wide range of colors of the class of cnidarians also called corals. The complementary color of coral is teal.
Corals are marine organisms in class Anthozoa of phylum Cnidaria typically living in compact colonies of many identical individual "polyps". The group includes the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans, which secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton.
A coral "head," which appears to be a single organism, is a colony of myriad genetically identical polyps. Each polyp is typically only a few millimeters in diameter. Over many generations the colony secretes a skeleton that is characteristic of the species. Individual heads grow by asexual reproduction of individual polyps. Corals also breed sexually by spawning. Polyps of the same species release gametes simultaneously over a period of one to several nights around a full moon.
Although corals can catch small fish and animals such as plankton using stinging cells on their tentacles, most corals obtain most of their energy and nutrients from photosynthetic unicellular algae called zooxanthellae. Such corals require sunlight and grow in clear, shallow water, typically at depths shallower than 60 metres (200 ft). Corals can be major contributors to the physical structure of the coral reefs that develop in tropical and subtropical waters, such as the enormous Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Other corals do not have associated algae and can live in much deeper water, with the cold-water genus Lophelia surviving as deep as 3,000 metres (9,800 ft).[3] Examples live on the Darwin Mounds located north-west of Cape Wrath, Scotland. Corals have also been found off the coast of the U.S. in Washington state and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. Corals coordinate behavior by communicating with each other.[4]

Color Meaning of Orange or Coral Roses
Desire, Enthusiasm, Pride
Bright orange is a color of warmth and energy and orange roses convey the desire and fervor that the sender feels for the recipient.
These bright rose blossoms also can say "I'm proud of you."
Just as coral is more toned down than orange so are the feelings communicated by this color rose. The coral rose still speaks to desire coupled with happiness.
Yellow (including coral, orange, amber, and gold) symbolizes: energy, caution, warmth, cheer, and joy. Yellows are often associated with the following characteristics: homey, friendly, soft, welcoming, moving, excitement, or adventure.
Another dimension regarding the color red is the belief surrounding coral, the semi-precious stone which is a gift from our mother ocean to remind us of our eternal foundation. It is actually composed of the skeletons of little animals into reef-plant - like with hard branches. It reminds us of our bones - hard and durable. Coral teaches us form, also flow and flexibility within form. It lives and breathes in the sea but its roots are anchored in the earth. It is one of the five sacred stones of the Tibetan Buddhists, and symbolizes the energy of life force. It is often believed to be a protection against the evil eye. In a curious belief it was supposed to lighten in color and become pale if the wearer were ill or even exposed to illness - or were given poison. The coral would then darken as the wearer recovered. The same attribute was associated with a woman's menstrual periods, which the coral was supposed to "share" with women. Coral was also associated with stopping the flow of blood from a wound, curing madness, imparting wisdom, and calming storms.
In Buddhism coral is believed to be generally good, and the Tibetans and Tibeto-Nepalese think of it as a good investment, and believe that the person who wears coral will have success in life. The color red is auspicious in Tibetan culture. It is a sacred color, one of the colors of the five Buddhas and the color of the monk's garments. It is believed to have protective qualities and is therefore often used to paint sacred buildings. In neighboring China, coral is a symbol of longevity, and in India it is thought to prevent hemorrhages. Hans Weihreter records beliefs about coral in western Tibetan cultures which center around blood. Coral is said to strengthen blood, and act beneficially for the menstruation of women."

Ad Design BP Oil spill research continues
BP Oil Spill
I am going to advertise a hypothetical donation for the BP oils spill that has devastated the environment near the Gulf Coast. My topic relates specifically towards the birds suffering great health issues as a result of the oil spill. The campaign for my donation to the birds of the BP oil spill tragedy will targeted towards business men and women who collect frequent flying miles. In my campaign, they will be asked to donate their frequent flying miles to either A: use them to travel to an area near the Gulf coast to donate time to on-grounds cleanup etc, or B: donate their frequent flying miles to already trained animal rescue team individuals. Although my idea is highly unlikely, it is motivational that in a tragedy, anything is possible to bring hope and wellness back into position.
I am still researching and in the process of developing my idea. Here is one of the many articles that have truly touched my heart and have revealed the severity of the suffering these birds are facing.
Furthermore, while this is only a school project, it has influenced a deeper understanding of the effects of the BP oil spill of 2010 and ways in which I can personally help.
More research will be posted as my project evolves.
Possible Slogans for my campaign:
1) You fly, They fly
2) Take Flight
3) Reach New Heights
4) Count Your Miles
5) Miles Away to Help
Gulf Coast birds in danger

April 30, 2010|By Frank Gill, Special to CNN
A Louisiana Heron flies above the fragile wetlands in the path of the oil spill that is creeping toward the coast of Louisiana.
Humans have always looked to birds for joy, inspiration and comfort, but if we look toward the birds of the Gulf Coast today, we feel no comfort, only a deep and growing unease.
What began on April 20 with the horrific loss of 11 human lives in the explosion of the offshore oil rig Deepwater Horizon now threatens to become a devastating and far-reaching environmental disaster -- one that should shake the American people to our very core.
Hour by hour, a massive oil slick is spreading to the fragile coastal wetlands and barrier islands of the Mississippi River Delta in Louisiana. Coastal areas of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are also at risk.
Birds are key indicators of the environment in which they -- and we -- live and eat and breathe. Their health or decline eventually mirrors our own, and the diagnosis this week isn't looking very good.
The spreading oil threatens "Important Bird Areas," sites identified by Audubon and other conservation experts as vital to the health or even the survival of entire species.
Coastal bird species -- graceful terns, gangly pelicans, peaceful plovers -- have everything to lose if the oil reaches them. It is breeding season for these year-round coastal denizens, and it is also peak migration season for millions of other birds headed north, right through the areas that may be hardest hit.
A host of well-known species are at risk, among them:
• Brown pelicans, the state bird of Louisiana, are incubating eggs on barrier islands. The species was removed from the endangered species list late last year -- a victory to be sure -- but nevertheless faces an uncertain future.
• Reddish egret, a tall, colorful bird that "dances" wildly in the surf as it hunts for prey, is a scarce denizen of warm, salty coasts.
• Royal terns, and several of their relatives, nest on beaches and dunes and catch small fish by executing spectacular plunge-dives into the waters of the Gulf. But a dive into oily water could prove deadly for these beautiful creatures.
• Mottled ducks, locally called "summer ducks" because they are the only ducks that breed along the Gulf Coast, living, feeding and nesting in coastal salt marshes where oil would have devastating consequences.
• Seaside sparrows, tiny and secretive marsh birds, will have nowhere to go if the salt marsh edges they frequent are destroyed by oil. They would simply fade away.
