What kind of flowers are good to order for my wife for mother’s day?

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011
Adam asked:


Costco has a special on a bouquet for $54.99, and I love Costco, but I see Proflowers has specials much cheaper than that. My question is, what’s a good flower to order in a bouquet that the flowers will last a good while?
I’m a guy and hate to waste money on flowers when they die in a week.
Thanks.

How did the tradition of giving flowers for a funeral start?

Friday, November 11th, 2011
MRM asked:


Presently giving flowers is as a sign of sympathy for the death, I believe, but I’m curious of how the tradition started. I had read that, scientifically, it’s said that it started because the fragance of the flowers masked the smell of … decay? Flowers smell nice.

But if there are more reasons to how it started, and more reasons to why it’s done in the present, then please tell me. And is there any specific flower you should give? Any you shouldn’t? in the past, did they care of what flower they used?

Friday, November 11th, 2011
Cristina asked:


I have this section in the back yard but my house is in a community and they water waaaay too much. Many of us tried to get them to change it because typical veggies and flowers won’t grow. Its frustrating. So what could I plant there that might actually grow?

What kind of flowers do you send a teenage girl whose dad just died?

Thursday, November 10th, 2011
Ashlyn! :) asked:


So my 13 year old brother is special needs and is best friends at the high school with this senior girl named Cortney. The other day her dad died in a really bad car wreck and my mom wants to send flowers to her and the funeral because shes a reallyyyyy nice girl and because she thinks she should because its Austins (my brother) best friend. But she doesnt know what kind of flower is appropriate for a teenage girl whose dad just died. Roses are too romantic and daisies are too sunshine-y.
So what kind of flower should she send?
