About Flowers

Rose asked:


I planted some flowers and then it suddenly turned cold. My flowers are drooping and beginning to look like they’re dieing. How do I save them? I don’t know what kind of flowers they are.
I planted them in the ground.

i live in Nevada. I have no clue whatsoever on how to take care of a lawn let alone plant flowers but i know i want to learn being this as our first house with a backyard.

Pretty decent size i’d estimate around 25×15. The grass is totally dead (if any at all) at the moment but the owners are planning on resodding it for us.

So any tips or websites on how to care for it and what types of flowers to choose for Nevada’s climate.?? Really want something low-maintenence.

I have been preparing for a summer wedding all year but now I will not be able to have my wedding until late October, early November 2007 because I can’t get my fiance here until then because of visa technicalities. I was wondering what kinds of plants and flowers are available for that time of year? I know florists can get you just about anything but I am working with a smaller budget and was thinking about buying potted plants and flowers from a nursery to add greenery and color. The wedding will be outside so I need some plants to liven up our garden that will be mostly dormant by that time. This has been very last minute news and I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

I live in Zone 7b. I am wanting to do a flower bed next to my house facing east. My thumb is not green. Does anyone have any suggestions as to tall flowers for close to the house, mid-high flowers for the middle, and a good border flower? I would like to do a variety of different colored Foxgloves for next to the house and some Phlox for the border. Any suggestions?
There are no big trees nearby, just a tall thin bush/tree on the south side of the garden that doesn’t realy give much shade. Otherwise it’s pretty much open. It’s in Oklahoma, like I said, zone 7b. so it can get pretty hot. I really don’t want anything taller than about 4′ or so in the back right up next to the house, that’s why I was thinking Foxgloves. Something that is really too much taller than that would be too tall in my opinion. Any more suggestions? So far everything sounds great and maybe my thumb will have a tinge of green this year!

I have a flower bed up against the back of my house and which is completely covered by the overhead deck. I want to plant some plants there, but don’t know which flowers grow best in very shaded areas? Also there is a large rabbit population in my neighborhood and would like to plant flowers that the rabbits wouldn’t be so eager to eat.

Thank you in advance.
If cat hair works, would dog hair do????

I’m bored of being bored asked:


I have to do an experiment to compare the effects of different substances in the water of cut flowers, to see how long they will survive. eg. one will have bleach, another will have lemon juice. etc. the experiment will have to be conducted over one week. so I need flowers that once cut, will die in about 6-7 days. does any of yous know ones that will suit?

I live in Oregon and just moved into a new house. I’m planning on planting some flowers in the yard but most of my options are for the north side of the house. Is anyone an expert on which flowers and ground cover will do well without receiving direct sunlight?

Thank you.
