Beauty After life - Plants For Drying - Grasses Dried plants and dried flowers are midway for people who cannot afford gardens or costly fresh flowers and artifical flowers or plants for decoration.

Marjoram: The Herb of Happiness Called the "herb of happiness," Origanum majorana, commonly known as sweet marjoram or knotted marjoram, is an herbal symbol of peace and well-being.

Marjoram may be grown as a houseplant and as it has a tendency to trail when grown indoors, it makes a nice hanging basket.
