Hamstrings are tendons of the muscles of the back of the thigh. Hamstring muscles bend the knee and straighten the hip. Hamstring muscle injury is a common athletic injury. Most hamstring muscle and tendon injuries heal without surgery. The risk of hamstring injury can be reduced with a regular stretching program and exercises.
Wild vanda orchids grow in northern Australia and Eastern Asia, including India, Indonesia, the Philippines, New Guinea, southern China and the Himalaya region. The showy bloom from one Vanda spike can sometimes last up to eight weeks or more, and this is naturally a highly desirable trait in the floral industry. Vandas will bloom throughout the year, depending on their growing conditions, with plenty of access to light, warmth and moisture.
Day lily flowers appear on stalks called scapes. Many flowers can bloom on a single scape but each bloom only remains open for a single day. Each day lily plant has numerous scapes and can produce hundreds of blooms in a season. Depending on the variety, the bloom season can last 30 to 40 days, or longer, and is usually from late spring to fall.
