Sun asked:


The flower bed in the front of my house gets all the afternoon sun. Ever year I plant flowers and they never do good. So what flowers will look good together and will last with the sun?

My flowers are being eating alive by some kind of inscets. I don’t know what kind of inscets are eating my flowers but, I just to get rid of them before they eat the rest of flowers and plants. I want to know if there is a natural way to get rid of the bugs because, I really don’t want to use chemicals.

My friends are having a housewarming party this weekend and I am not able to attend but wanted to send flowers. The husband’s nose is very sensitive to smell, but he like flowers. I am trying to fgure out which flowers have the lightest scent or better yet no scent at all. Thanks.

I have two 1.5ft X .75ft (roughly) pots. I want flowers in them.
They are outside on my windowsill, and they would get enough sunlight. I’m also responsible enough to water them.

But i still need to know what kinds of plants i want in them!

I want color and something that can be planted close to other plants. (No big roots.)

What kinds of flowers am i looking for?

I live in southern Idaho .I already planted some bulbs in one dog’s grave ,/ They have not or did not come up so I’m a little worried about them. They are in Scruffy’s grave for those of you from Pets-Dogs) and now I’m looking for plants/flowers that will come back year after year. They will be both Scruffy’ss and Liberty’s memorials. It’s get below freezing in the winter here so we have to fact that in this.

Does anyone have any great ideas of what I can plant in their memorials that will come back year after year and get bigger too? One idea I’m playing is rose bushes. Does anyone know of plants that have beautiful flowers to remind me of them at their graveside?I’m open to suggestions.Can anyone please help me out here?

Thank You for all the suggestions with this!

I was in LA area (Fullerton/Anaheim maybe?) many years ago and I can’t remember the name of some flowering trees I saw there.
I tthink it was early summer but I’m not totally sure of the season, and these trees were all in bloom with pretty purple flowers. They seemed to grow pretty large, they definitely weren’t bushes or anything, but normal sized trees.
Does anyone have an idea of what the trees could have been? They seemed to be pretty common. Thanks!

Can anyone suggest how to store silk flowers so as not to crush them. Some flowers can snap back but some can’t. I’d rather not find out which ones of mine can’t as they are expensive. I’m looking for a way to store them in an upright position in a small walk-in closet. I have them loosely packed in boxes now but this is not an ideal long-term storage remedy for me. I want them organized and in pristine condition.
Thanks for the help!

Ladytigercat asked:


How often should I change the water? Is an asperin advisable? The flowers I got at the market and there was a small packet of flower food with it. I used the packet in the vase. Should I have saved some of the food for when I changed the water. In brief ie. How do you best care for cut flowers so they stay beautiful longer?

I’ve been asked to use real hydrangeas on a wedding cake that I will make and I just want to know if there is a proper method to prepare the flowers for arrangement on the cake. I don’t want to just cut the stems and stick the flower in the cake. I’m being mindful of the fact that the cake will most definitely be consumed. I don’t want the wedding guests to get sick.
