I need the names of some flowers that grow well this time of year and under full sun. Thanks.
What are some flowers that flourish in the sun?
Roses, petunias, sunflowers, carnations, dahlias, zinneas, and pansies.
There are lots more, check at your local garden center!
Reply:In annuals, alyssum, petunias, geraniums, vinca, portaluca, vinca, there are many others, but these have worked for me.
Reply:If you get anything that is a succulent, it will do well. These are things in the cactus family. Others are vinca, petunias, moss roses, portacula, roses, canna lilies, verbena, and marigolds. It also depends on how hot and dry it is where you live. Some things will grow well in milder climates in full sun than in harsher hot ones.
Reply:Painted Daisy, coreopsis, black eyed susans, coneflower, spiderwart, lilies, phlox, bee balm, the list goes on and on. check out HGTV and better homes and gardens website.
Reply:I have had great luck with stargazer lillies. The most beautiful pinkish-red color and they can get up to 4 feet tall!
Reply:my favoirtes are salvia and vinca. I plant red salvia and surround it with white vinca and it blooms beautifully and abundantly all summer and until frost.
both take the heat from summer sun well.
Reply:sunflowers, roses

Should I send flowers to her?
Tomorrow is my ex gf birthday. We broke up because of a drug addiction and other problems she has in her life. She still calls me and sends letters to me when she needs to talk. She still cares for me and I as well for her. But we just cant be together because I cant accept her addiction. I support her as I can when she says she wants to get off of the stuff. But I see no end in sight to her addiction yet. Anyway, I dont know if sending her flowers for her birthday would be appropriate. I know she loves them, but I am afraid she might get the wrong idea. I dont want her to think I am wanting her back. I just want her to know that she is a special person and that someone does care about her. Should I send them to her or not? I know if I do it will brighten her day. If I dont and noone gives her anything, she might get depressed and get high on drugs to feel better. Should I?
Should I send flowers to her?
DONT Listen to all that other BULL ...
FLOWERS do NOT say I WANT YOU ..... telling her %26quot; i want you %26quot; says %26quot;I want you%26quot; . ........ ;)
Flowers are a very nice everyday type occasion deal nowadays, so unless you are going to send her a dozen red roses with a card saying I want you back ... you are in Safe waters buddy ;)
Come on , especially if there is a chance that she might not get anything from anyone else ? Then it would be straight out mean of you ;) not to get her flowers ...
Ohhh and there is also nothing wrong or any kind of double meaning attached to roses ( EXEPTION:RED)....
so go ahead honey , get her a huge bouquet (with roses) and also a card saying %26quot; I wish You a happy Birthday, enjoy Your day :)%26quot;
That is it , no thinking of you blablabla ... keep the card simple and you are fine ;)
PS: haha No i dont work in the flower business , I Just LOVE getting Flowers ..... ;)
Reply:no... instead, give her something else for her birthday. Flowers say %26quot; i want you %26quot; and you can%26#039;t give her that message. Perhaps a better choice would be giving her something like a cd or something else she might want for her birthday. You know her fairly well, I%26#039;m guessing, you should be able to pick something a little more neutral
Reply:Sure that would be very nice of you. Just put a simple note. Something like...%26quot;Thinking of you. Hope you%26#039;re have a great day.%26quot;
No roses though. Send fresh cut flowers instead.
Reply:Ok. I don%26#039;t really know how to answer this so I guess I%26#039;ll just tell you what I think. I think that you should send them. But I would also send her a letter with them talking about how you really hope she is ready to break her addiction and that if at any time she wants to come to you for help in getting better then you are there for her.
Reply:I think you should send her a platonic card and a small gift, but sending flowers is a touch on the romantic side. Assure her that you are her friend...hey my ex BF sent me a card on my birthday and I took it as a nice gesture. We remain friends and you can not have too many friends. It will brighten her day, but you can not control her actions, or view you are pushing her over the edge. An addict will use whatever reason they WANT to to continue their BAD BEHAVIOR. You are NOT the reason, her addiction is the reason.
Reply:She%26#039;ll probably get high on drugs either way, because she%26#039;s sad or because she%26#039;s happy, it won%26#039;t matter. How about sending her a very nice %26#039;friendship%26#039; card instead of flowers? Or, perhaps you could send her a bouquet and put anonymous as the signature, (not in your handwriting of course). This might cheer her up, but as I said, it probably won%26#039;t keep her from getting high. She needs professional help.
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t send her flowers. But I would make sure to get her something nice. A movie or a book might be a safe route to take. I%26#039;d stay away from candy, flowers and stuffed animals, clothing too actually unless it%26#039;s of some funny catch phrase or something. A movie or a book is something she can enjoy over time, with no hidden messages in it. I think it is very great of you to keep being a support system to her. :)
Reply:ohhhhhh send her some. Write her a card giving her encouragement. I can understand you not accepting an addiction, that is the smartest thing you can do.
Being there to encourage her and to be her friend is probably the best thing that you can do for her.
Reply:No, sorry if this does not agree with how you feel, however it may send her the wrong signals.
As you say she is your ex and from what it sounds you do not want her back due to her problem. She is not your responsibility anymore, and you need not feel guilty about this. her problem is HER problem, not yours.
Move on with your life, and find someone else.
Reply:Yes you should send her flowers.If you can brighten her day
than do it i bet she will be very happy
Reply:dont send her roses. send her like a spring boquet of different flowers. just say happy birthday on the card. i know how someone with an addiciton can be. so i say send them

Now that spring is fast-approaching, I%26#039;d like to start planting flowers in pots. What grows well in the south-central part of Kansas?
Daisies? Poppies? Pansies?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

FTD delivers world wide. (no, I can%26#039;t remember what that stands for) Just go to the website, and tell them where you want them sent.
The only thing you need is a credit card.
Reply:Yes,
I know exactly what you could do.
There are green houses and flower places every where all you would need to do is send some money over to the nearest store they have and tell them to deliver some. and they will reach the nearst one in korea that could deliver then to her. and if you would like to buy her a gift.. buy her a gift then send it to her in the mail. If that doesn%26#039;t work then just get her a card an send.
Reply:look up and call a flower shop there and have them send her flowers with a sweet luv note on it
Reply:get someone over there to get the flowers for you. pay them somehow and let them get the flowers to her.

Shud i buy flowers? i live at homeless sheltor she works there.......?
OK first off, ima dog, ok i don%26#039;t even talk to women and i get sex, i just give em a look let em know im interested, than they talk to me, not allways but enough, thats my game, i don%26#039;t buy drinks, women come up to me, an i gotta soft tone voice, so the only time i can talk to anybody an be heard is when we 1 on 1, OK thas me! BUT i met this girl, and i approach her different, softer more respectful, just naturally without even thinking about it, just a different vibe i get from her, usually im bout sex, wit her im more about romance......OK so i gave a her a compliment all gentlemen like, she seemed to enjoy it..than later i gotta warm smile, emotianal smile, and it got me all emotional........well i didn%26#039;t get to see her for a week, than when i did see her, she seemed like it never happened..... our situation is complicated too, with low voice, its hard to talk to her, cuz we only see eachother in crowded areas...... so wat ya%26#039;ll think? i was gonna buy her flowers.. ur opinion?

What's the best fertilizer for flowers and for Ivy?
And also I need to know what the best kind of bug spray there is for my flowers. My petunias are half eaten and covered in holes... I think they%26#039;re those pincher bugs, my zinnias leafs are covered in tiny holes to the point where the whole leaf is translucent. My grandpa fertilizes his flowers twice a week, even though it%26#039;s only suppose to be once a week, and they%26#039;re fabulous. I don%26#039;t know what he uses though. Does anyone know any little tricks like that, as well?
What%26#039;s the best fertilizer for flowers and for Ivy?
the best fertilizer would be a scoop or two from a compost pile. It works great and it%26#039;s all organic. As far as bugs, take a spray bottle and put some regular dish soap in it and fill it with water ... misting the plants will keep the bugs away.
Reply:%26quot; Miracle Grow%26quot; plant food is the best I%26#039;ve ever used. Just follow the package instructions for great results. I would contact a local florist to find out what bug repellant to use on your particular plants.
Reply:Let you know a little secret. Have you ever seen roses as bis as a basketball? The best fertilizer for flowers is..........Bat guano, available at any good nursery, very expensive.
Reply:Osmocote for flowers and bedding plants
Reply:get the book %26quot;extraordinary uses for ordinary things%26quot; i have it and its great.
Reply:5 gal bucket 1/2 full of water.. Every meal take all left overs you would heave. put them in blender, blend rear fine then dump in bucket.. have good lid it will stink..Me I have a 55gal drumb full.. Called FORCE FEEDING..

What kind of vegetables, fruits, and flowers are good to grow in Houston, TX?
I am planning my yard and would like to do my own landscaping. What kind of vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits are good for Houston climate hot, humid summer and mild winter. I want the fruit trees to serve both as fruit bearing as well as for shade to my house. The flowers should be a melangé of color. The vegetables should be able to supply seasonal veggies to my dining table. I know it is a tall order but any help would be appreciated. Thanks
What kind of vegetables, fruits, and flowers are good to grow in Houston, TX?
Tomatoes, strawberries, asparagus, squash, zuccini, watermelons (certain varieties will do much better than others), corn, okra (loves that climate), all types of peppers, carrots, onions, beats, radish, potatoes, pumpkins, cilantro, basil, canteloupe... hell, just about anything. Here%26#039;s a link to our veg group... join it for better info....
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OkVegGarde...
Reply:You could grow orange, plum, fig, pear and certain types of apple trees in your area. (Fall is the best time to plant so get ready!)
Herbs: Basil, rosemary, all types of mint...wow, you can grow almost any type herb. (indoors or outdoors)
Flowers.... Geraniums grow well in TX...they come in a variety of colors. Mexican Heather has small purple flowers. Lantana and sage comes in different colors also...
Visit your local Home Depot or Lowes. They will have the trees at the best prices with a year warranty. They will also have the plants that are in season.
Vegetables...I am not sure about...I have only grown tomatos. (those can be planted twice/year in your area).

What kind of flowers do you give a girl when you accidentally drop her while carrying her?
We were having a very romantic evening watching the Minnesota Twins play baseball on the Tele.
Well, one thing led to another, and.....the Twins scored the tying run in the 9th.
It was around this time that the lady of the house decided she wanted to procreate. So, as usual, I lifted her up and was going to proceed to carry her to the garage so we could %26quot;do some lovin%26#039;%26quot;, and the Twins scored the winning run!!!
In the excitement of the moment, I thrust my hands upward in victory and yelled in excitement. Unfortunately, I also heard a loud %26quot;OUCH%26quot; as my amour hit the floor.
The cold metal called %26quot;enswell%26quot; has helped the swelling and blackness around my eye, but my heart is still broken! My love won%26#039;t talk to me, plus she didn%26#039;t let me %26quot;carry out my duty%26quot; last night!!!
What type of flowers should I send her to basically tell her how she completes me and blah blah blah. Basically, how do I get her to get over it?
What kind of flowers do you give a girl when you accidentally drop her while carrying her?
Personally I think you should get her a pot of those plant yourself flowers. This way you%26#039;re also giving her an activity. But if you ask me, I think she%26#039;s at fault here.
She should have had the decency to either pleasure you while the game was still going on, or wait until it was over!
Perhaps she should apologize to YOU!!!
Reply:The fact that you two retire to the garage for an oil-stained, exhaust fume-filled post-baseball hump session should be far more alarming than someone being dropped on his or her head on the way to the %26quot;monkey love barn.%26quot;
Add to that the worrisome factor of you calling sex a %26quot;duty%26quot; to be %26quot;carried out%26quot; like Missus WhatsHerDroppedA$s must soldier and grit it out and you%26#039;ve got yourself a Twin Cities nightmare.

What types of flowers like to grow in mostly shady areas?
I have a spot that gets morning sun and the rest of the day is shady. I want to plant flowers there. I have a couple hostas and some lillies that are doing well. What else can I plant here?
What types of flowers like to grow in mostly shady areas?
I have full shade on the back of my house. I have planted different hostas, ferns, heucheras, brunera, fern leaf bleeding heart and standard bleeding heart and for annuals i planted inpatiens.
All these plants do very well and look beautiful no matter what time of the growing season.
The fern leaf bleeding heart blooms all summer..pretty pink dangling flowers. The standard bleeding heart flowers for about 4 weeks, after that it just continues to grow...it does not die back.
Reply:I have a totally shaded area and have lots of sucess with impatiens and huecheras. I like planting the white impatiens in shade, the white really pops out. Lamium also does well in shade and spreads really nicely. Also try some ferns. Japanese painted ferns have really nice color in them and don%26#039;t get too huge. Bleeding Hearts also like the shade, however they do die back in the summer so you are left with a hole to fill.

Should I send flowers?
My oldest daughter%26#039;s biological father (she%26#039;s been adopted by my husband) has two other children by 2 other mothers: a boy, and a girl.
Well, had..
We are pretty close to the other girl and her mother- she and I didn%26#039;t used to get along, but we became friends later on for the sake of our daughters- we wanted them to have each other- even if their %26quot;daddy%26quot; wasn%26#039;t going to be a part of their lives. The little boy and his mother we never really knew- they live in another state- but we have both talked to her a couple times and there was no bad blood or anything.
Well, the little boy passed away- he was 6. Our daughters never met him- nor did we- and we haven%26#039;t really spoken to his mother in a long time. His funeral is on Thursday, and the other mother and I were talking today about sending flowers or a card with a donation in it. We know our ex won%26#039;t be there because he never cared about any of his kids, but we want to send it from our daughters- since he was their brother. Cont%26#039;d
Should I send flowers?
Well you can think of it this way. When people hear on the news that a child has died and that there is a charity that is collecting cards for the family, perfect strangers will write cards to the child%26#039;s parents.
I don%26#039;t think the mother would be offended in any way. But perhaps you should keep the card simple, just a %26quot;sorry for your loss,%26quot; or something like that, and of course, the little kids%26#039; signatures.
Reply:Call the funeral home and ask if there is any special plans for memorials such as donations to an organization or charity. If not, then send flowers to the home with his sisters names inside the card and the words, From you sisters, with their names.
Reply:Send flowers. It would be the right thing to do.
Reply:You and the other Mother might consider making a donation to an organization, the one most closely representing the reason the litle boy died. Make the donation in Honor of %26quot;name of the child%26quot; and have the card sent with the donation from you and your daughters and have the thank you card to be sent to the boys mother. The Mother should recieve a card then from the charitable organization telling her they have recieved a donation in honor of %26quot;her boys name%26quot; from %26quot;You and your daughters names%26quot;. This card would take a while to get to her giving her time to have started her grieving and when she is not so overwhelmed with the immediate rush of people who will be with her and supportive of her but will dwindle with time.
What ever you decide I don%26#039;t think you can err on the side of remembering and letting some one know you know they are in pain and you care.....
I just read your last addendum, by all means it is ok to leave out the word sisters, she will know and not anyone else needs to.
Reply:I would send flowers, it will let them know you%26#039;ve been thinking about them,
Reply:I think you should definitely send flowers... any thoughts are appreciated in tough times.

When can I start planting flowers?
I live in Ohio around the columbus area. I want to get some plants and flowers going this year. i was wondering when I should start planting. What does well in this area of the world. Maybe you can tell me yor favorite flowers or shrubs and when to .
When can I start planting flowers?
If your hardiness zone is 5-after April 15th
If your hardiness zone is 6- after April 1st (These dates are for outside) Columbus falls into both categories.
Reply:I%26#039;m in NW Ohio and have lots of success with Iris, Daylilies, Hosta, and Ornamental Grasses. Feel free to check out my website: http://www.gardening-quick-n-easy.com/ea...
My favorites are the Daylilies ... so much variety in the flower colors, shapes and plant sizes. I%26#039;ve got over 40 of them planted in the yard now and plan to add more each year that I have (or can make) room for them.
Up here, our last frost dates can be anywhere between May 1 to May 31. I usually watch accuweather.com beginning the 15th and check the 15 day forecast to find out roughly when I can start putting the new plants in the ground.
Let me know if you need more info or ideas ...

How do you keep dogs out of the flowers in your yard?
I planted some flowers around a tree in my backyard and my two dogs haven%26#039;t touched them. So, I planted around another tree that was next to my deck. Well it seems that they walk through these flowers! I haven%26#039;t put mulch down yet. Any way to keep the dogs out and away from my newly planted flowers?
How do you keep dogs out of the flowers in your yard?
Get a small decorative fence and put it around the flowers. also when choosing mulch do not get cocoa chips. If your dogs eat these they will get very sick! It is made from the same tree that they make chocolate from and your dog can get the same poisoning as them eating chocolate ok.
Find a all natural mulch with no dyes or coloring. I prefer cedar my self mainly because the dogs really dont like the smell and tend to leave it alone. It not only good looking but it also keeps many bugs away too!
Reply:You welcome! Report It
Reply:Boundaries work. Planting through chicken wire will prevent dogs digging and from squirrels from digging up bulbs.
Telling the dog no, but you can%26#039;t be there all the time.
I%26#039;ve heard to not plant Yucca because the thorns are too big but to plant something with smaller thorns. Not sure if I like that advice.
I%26#039;ve heard to put pine cones in the mulch so it%26#039;s uncomfortable to walk on and yes, there are loads of dog repellents out there.
Reply:Put a couple of yucca cactus branches in your flower garden. Once they step on them they will not return.
Reply:My husband and I had this with our Weim.
He loves to dig in my mulch around my Japanese Maple.
We went to Home Depot and got a few sections of that white plastic decorative fencing.
He started to enter the area after we put the fencing in, but we got him out of there and now the boundary is physical. He doesn%26#039;t go in there much now.
Just make sure that the flowers you planted in there aren%26#039;t harmful to dogs.
I have some Lilies that I planted years ago that keep popping up in the spring. He loves to mess with them, but Lilies are harmful to dogs, so I have to be vigilant about keeping him away from them.

Wedding colors and then appropriate flowers?
I have plenty of time to plan, we aren%26#039;t getting married until spring of 2009, but unlike most girls...I have not pondered on wedding colors. I have NO IDEA what the colors are going to be. He doesn%26#039;t want pink, light purple, or yellow. I was thinking teal, dark blue, and a really royal purple. Do those go well together for a spring wedding? But then what about flowers? What kind of flowers would go best with those colors?
Wedding colors and then appropriate flowers?
I%26#039;m not sure about any of those colors together. Why not choose one and accent it with something lighter and softer. I did royal purple with antique gold. I%26#039;m not big on matchy flowers, like red dresses with red flowers, seems like too much. I went with pink and cream roses, with cymbidium (spelling?) orchids. I was a little worried that it wouldn%26#039;t looked organized but it did, it was beautiful!
This link will help give you some color ideas.
http://www.specialtybios.com/colors.html
By the way, my wedding was early spring. I worried about the colors being too dark, but I loved the way it turned out.
Reply:We did a black and white wedding. I know it sounds weird, but my brides maid had black dresses, that were very nice, and could be worn again for a formal event. That way you could use any colors. We used red and white flowers(roses), and we also used silver. It is your day so take your time and try different ideas. Congrats!
Reply:In my opinion, the colors you chose should coincide with the season you are marrying in.
For your wedding, it will be in the spring, so you have a nice range of spring colors to choose from. I have always liked teal as a choice of color, or perhaps a royal blue. Lavenders, if not too light, are also nice. You can also mix a purple (or medium colored lavender) with a hint of navy blue. I feel that a straight navy blue color on a bridesmaid dress on film or digital will appear close to the color of black, and will lack detail.
The florist you choose will actually go over the choice of flowers available for that season, and weather conditions. It will depend on whether your wedding is indoors or not. Certain flowers wilt faster than others. I have always been fond of tulips, and they are quite sturdy, and in some states available in the spring. Of course roses for the bride are beautiful and come in an array of colors to match the colors of your wedding. With all flowers, keep them out of the direct hot sun!
I was a professional wedding photographer for many years. The lighter the colors, to be honest with you, the lighter they appear on film (or digital), because they appear washed out. If some of the girls in your wedding party have light skin, the very light colors will often wash out their faces. Try to pick colors that you really like, and also feel will look good on the girls. Then you can get cumber buns and/or vests for the guys%26#039; tuxedos to match the color scheme.
Congratulations and enjoy your engagement and wedding!
Reply:i am getting married in july 08. my colors are cornflower blue (if you look on davids bridal website) which is a bright pretty blue. my flowers are going to be blue, green and purple hydrangeas with accents of white roses and calla lilys. maybe something like this could work for you. good luck
Reply:Go to anyplace that sells bouquets and compare. Walmart, flea markets, Meijers, etc. would have a great selection. Compare and then you%26#039;ll have an idea from their selections. You can buy bushes for $1.00 each or less. Then when you decide, take them to your florist for them to match.
Reply:If you have no idea what color you want...that%26#039;s perfect. Really, it allows for so much flexibility. Gather up all the bridesmaids and find a color that looks good on all of them. Pick a handful of colors, and let them vote on it or ideally come to a consensus. Then you have your color.
When you have your color, go to the florist and say %26quot;What flowers come in this color?%26quot; It%26#039;s good to be as flexible with the florist as possible. So many women approach the florist with an exact idea of flowers and colors, and that%26#039;s what they get. But then they miss out on the creative ideas that the florist has and never even consider beautiful flowers that they haven%26#039;t even heard of.
Reply:I%26#039;d say mix dark and light- I think purple and yellow are very nice together, and totally spring appropriate (think tulips)
Reply:I like your idea for colours, but that%26#039;s pretty dark for a spring wedding. At least one major colour should be bright. Move up your wedding date, girl!!! Don%26#039;t do all this planning so soon.
Reply:Spring colors would do better if they were pastels, but it%26#039;s whatever you want!
A florist would be able to give you the honest opinions on the flowers.
Reply:the dark blue and royal purple are very wintery to me. Teal sounds kind of nice for a spring wedding though!!! I know he said no yellow, but man, that would look great with teal.... hmm....
some other options are celedon (a soft, airy light green-- gorgeeous color). it%26#039;s very springy and somewhat masculine... actually, the color of the green box surrounding this text on Yahoo Answers is sort of celedon! bright orange would look good with it, of course yellow again.... and a chocolate brown.
actually, our weddings in 17 days, and our colors are chocolate brown and sage green. were throwing in accents of yellow here and there, but it feels very earthy, and not too frou-frou. our flwoers are white and green-- the star-gazer lilly, bells of ireland, and white stock
as for flowers..... orange ones are easy to find. teal, not easy!

Reply:Cinderella,
I would totaly go for SPRING COLORS. You want to make your wedding beautiful and memorable. Those colors you chose are not the right colors for a spring wedding. You should make it fresh and lively. Her are some suggestions.
Colors :
1) Light sage just like the color that appears on the border of the %26quot;what%26#039;s your answer%26quot; page here on yahoo.You know, when you%26#039;re gonna answer someone%26#039;s question.
2) White, of course ( if you don%26#039;t like white you can go with a Bone color Pearl) But soemthing%26#039;s gotta be white
3) Beige or Tan
For flowers I say go with cream roses and white tulips or an arrangement of gardenias and tulips. It depends on the flowers you like.
Make your wedding subtle light and airy. Trust me Less is more. If you want to consult a florist and live in the LA Area. I can contact you with my brother In - Law%26#039;s Floral Shop.
He has great prices and BTW he did my wedding. It was awsome! He also has decoration servicesand is very good with colors. He can do the whole thing.
My e-mail:alh725@yahoo.com
COngrats! and Good Luck!
Reply:Spring weddings call for lighter colors. Having teal and maybe the royal purple accents would be appropriate, but dark blue is too much...not to mention terribly hard to find flowers for!! If he is against pink, light purple, and yellow, you can do something like seafoam green, periwinkle, or even a deep salmon or russet orange.
As far as flowers, the EASIEST thing to do is to go to your local craft store (like a Hobby Lobby or Michael%26#039;s), and take a look at their silk flowers. They will have the names of the flowers on them, and you have plenty of time to find out what is in season...and that%26#039;s VERY important. I had my heart set on using a special kind of orchids in my bouquet, only to find that they were out of season, and would have cost hundreds of dollars for one stem.
Another thing that you may want to consider is to use a florist%26#039;s assistant to do your flowers. They are just as good as most florists, and will do the job for half-price.
Whatever you choose, congratulations and good luck!!

Another thing that you may want to consider is to use a florist%26#039;s assistant to do your flowers. They are just as good as most florists, and will do the job for half-price.
Whatever you choose, congratulations and good luck!!

Who gets flowers?
I%26#039;ve got to start interviewing florists soon, and I%26#039;m trying to make a list of the flowers I%26#039;ll need for our wedding. I%26#039;ve got the centerpieces and the bouquets down, but I%26#039;m not sure who all is supposed to get a boutineer or corsage. Obviously the groomsmen get boutineers and the mothers get corsages, but who else? I want to have an accurate count so I can figure out my floral budget. Thanks! Oh, and what other arranged bouquets will I need as well? I know I%26#039;ll need a couple of arrangements for the altar, but what else?
Who gets flowers?
Okay!! Other than your bouquet and the centerpieces on the dinner tables, make sure you have other tables counted as well- if you are doing anything for the buffet table (if you are having one), gift table (ditto), guest book table, etc.
A few arrangements at the altar are nice, also decide if you want to have anything at the end of the pews and if so, are they going to be floral?
Dont%26#039;d forget flower petals - for the flower girls (if theyre allowed to drop them), as well as possibly having guests throw them on you (instead of rice, etc.), and possibly decorating tables with them.
For boutonnieres, corsages, and bouquets, you have obviously the bride and groom, then the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and then mothers and fathers. Some people also choose to honor grandparents with corsages/boutonnieres, or any other guests you want to distinguish, such as godparents. It is also very nice to have anyone who is doing something for you in the ceremony, like reading or singing, to have one.
Also decide on if you want flowers or some other topper on your cake.
Oh and if your flower girls arent or cant drop petals, make sure you have something for them - a mini-bouquet or a pomander ball, or something.
And decide if you are planning to throw the bouquet-you may want a smaller, less expensive %26quot;tossing%26quot; bouquet instead of using your real one if you want to keep/preserve your own.
All of this is optional-you can stick to the bare bones (wedding party and parents) or flesh it out the the rest of this, but there shouldnt be anything I didnt put on the list that is usually done. Don%26#039;t forget if you want to save money or do things a little differently, you can use silk flowers instead of real ones, you can choose what types of flowers you use-different ones cost A LOT differently, you can have bridesmaids carry candles or flower girls ring bells, etc. You can also get bouquets and boutonnieres made out of swarovski crystals which are really pretty, or you could do non-floral centerpieces (like floating candles, etc). Just some ideas; good luck!!!

Reply:You%26#039;d be just as married if you had no flowers at all, so the answer is %26quot;anyone you%26#039;d to whom you%26#039;d care to make a gift of flowers.%26quot; Generally the bride has some sort of bouquet (to later throw) and the groom has some sort of buttonhole blossom. Everything beyond that is really just icing on the cake. If your florist tries to tell you otherwise, tell your florist that Miss Manners says and that he/she is just trying to pad the bill.
Reply:Some brides include the grandparents as well. I think it%26#039;s a nice gesture.
Good luck
Reply:We did-
Great Aunt (because my grandmothers are passed), his 5 sisters who are not in the wedding, sister%26#039;s husband not in the wedding, fathers, mothers and the groomsmen and bridesmaids and of coarse us.
Extra- Church flowers- talk to the church about what you need.
Reply:The fathers should get boutineers as well. Otherwise, I think you%26#039;ve got it covered.
Reply:Fathers of the bride and groom should get boutonnieres.
You may want to give boutonnieres and corsages to the grandparents of the bride and groom.
If you or your groom-to-be have godparents you may want to consider giving them boutonnieres and corsages too.
Reply:the florist knows.
Reply:Your bridesmaids, groomsman, the groom and the bride. Then the parents get one, perhaps the grandparents. Don%26#039;t worry about anyone else.
As far as decorative flowers, I suggest ditching anything that isn%26#039;t for your reception tables. Flowers are by far one of the biggest wedding rip offs. They cost a lot of money and die. Depending on your church/ceremony site, you may not need additional decor. BTW, I used ProFlowers.com, and they were great.
Reply:The flower girl needs petals. Get a buttonhole for the ring bearer. And the bridesmaids get bouquets.
Reply:A lot of the time bridesmaids get flowers as well. and any other who are in the wedding party like sisters brothers in laws and so forth you really need to know who is going to be part of the ceremony and what not cause they should have flowers and yes your grandparents should have one as well nieces and nephew don%26#039;t really need then only if they are old enough to have one or ware one
you should also find pictures of flowers and arrangements that you like so you can show the florist what you would like to have
hope this helps and good luck

Will sending flowers can affect her job?
my g.f is a waitress and she is not feeling well i am thinking sending her flowers at work to appriciate how hard working she is but i dont know if i should because she is working in a restaurant. i dont want her to get embarrass or something akward like that. or even worse get fired. lol. i odnt know her manager that much so.. what should i do??
Will sending flowers can affect her job?
I%26#039;m sure she won%26#039;t get fired. She%26#039;ll most likely love the flowers. I don%26#039;t recommend 1800 flowers or any wire service. Your best bet is to walk into a flower shop.
Reply:do not sent anything coz being a waitress is always bz....might turn out bad.Cheers
Reply:Meet her and give her the flowers yourself. It%26#039;ll mean more to her than getting them at work when her mind has to be on her job.
Reply:I don%26#039;t know why a manager would get annoyed about someone getting flowers but your gf may be embarassed. There is a tiny chance that the flowers may not go down well with the boss. If you are really concerned maybe have them sent to the house or meet her after work with flowers instead, that way you have no issue and have the same effect. :o)
Reply:Why do get the feeling that you might be checking up on her..
To me it%26#039;s like you do not trust her or trying to spy if she is having an affair at work or something...
Or either I%26#039;m lying about you and just love her madly.. well if that%26#039;s the case... There is nothing wrong with admiring/spoiling your babe time en again... So sending her gifts at work wont be a problem at all.. In fact send her a whole bunch...(xxxx)

WHAT COLOUR FLOWERS???
I am getting married in Sept 08 and I am going to hold RED hybrid lilies as my flowers (like oriential or tiger lilies.
My bridesmaid are going to be in a long strapless black dress with a claret (deep red) sash that ties and hangs down the front.
Would it look okay if they held white oriential lilies or should they hold the red as well???
PLEASE HELP!!!
WHAT COLOUR FLOWERS???
I prefer white. Then your flowers will stand out in pictures more and their flowers will definately pop against their black dresses, the white will definately look gorgeous!
Reply:Actually, if you added some white lilies to your bouquet, it would make it stand out much better than the bridesmaids. If they have all white, your exquisite red lilies will be washed out in the photos. Give them a few white and you a fistful arrangement of both.
Reply:I guess a blend of red and white, provided that the red is not the same deep red tone or hue as that of the sash.
Reply:I say let them hold either all white or all white with maybe one red lily. It%26#039;s always nice to see the different boquets ... you don%26#039;t want to match your bridesmaids ... be different.
Reply:I think the white would be great, the red may clash with the sash!
Reply:I would incorporate both, but if you don%26#039;t like that idea go with the white ones!
Reply:White would be nice, with a few of the red interspersed.
Reply:I like white. They will look striking against the dark dresses.
Reply:I like White! Congrats!
Reply:White with a dash of violet would look nice, too.

What Other Flowers Are....?
As hardy as day lilies and daffodils. I have lilies in a pot that I bought well before Halloween ( live in Alabama) did%26#039;t pay much attention to them in the winter. Now they are starting to sprout again. As for Daffodils, my Mom had some in her yard %26amp; the Gardener ran them over cutting grass... still they bloom.?. What other flowers are like that???????
What Other Flowers Are....?
You can leave the lilies in the pot or you can plant them outside, not where the gardener will mow.
Don%26#039;t let the gardener mow over your daffodils again, it is possible that they will bloom this year, it%26#039;s happened to me.
Iris, most all lilies, any other spring bulb-tulip, hyacinth,crocus, etc.
Reply:I live here in Detroit, but here is my list...
Hostas
Chinese Lanterns (they have been in my neighbors yard for over 75 years)
Leadwort - (plumbago) - it cameup from seed in my compost pile. My father mows over it everytime and its still there.
Miscanthus grass
Morning glories - I have been putting up the good fight to rip them out everytime I go out to weed. I keep losing.
I hope that gives you some inspirations - as a general rule of thumb, if I want something tough, I ask the fellas at the garden center what is native to here. I do real well with those (purple coneflower, black eyed susan, etc) but I think those need to freeze in order to flower.
Good Luck
Reply:Try Carolina Jasmine. Beautiful flowers and very hardy. They also grow prolifically.

Reply:I like dead nettle and sweet woodruff. Those are my favorites and they just can%26#039;t be killed, are perennial and they smell wonderful. Also try lemon thyme.
We have been in drought for 8 years and these are always beautiful and need very little attention. When everyone else%26#039;s flowers are looking dull and lifeless....these are pretty and enviable.
Good luck!

How long will my potted flowers from summer last?
I am a brand new gardner this year, and I potted several flowers (seed and blooming) this summer. I knew nothing about gardening, but my flowers have done pretty well this year and bloomed well. We live in Colorado Springs and I am curious as to how long I should expect them to live. It is already getting cold at night here, but I don%26#039;t know which ones, if any, I should bother bringing inside. I planted pansies, marigolds, petunias, geraniums, and several variations of daisies. Do any of these bloom again or are they pretty much a %26quot;one-time%26quot; kinda thing? And if they do bloom again, is it a decent regrowth or are you better off just calling it a loss and planting again next year? I also have herbs outside I dont know what to do with...sage, basil, chives, rosemary, oregano and thyme. Help! What should I do?
How long will my potted flowers from summer last?
All the flowers you mention are annuals, which mean they will only last through this season, so it is not worth bringing them inside - they may last a couple more weeks if the weather holds.
Here%26#039;s a link that will give you some tips for putting the garden to %26#039;bed%26#039; for the winter:
http://www.sheridannurseries.com/GardenS...
Reply:pansies, marigolds, petunias, geraniums, and some variations of daisies are annuals, they will last through one or two frosts. Pansies like cooler weather so they may last longer then your others. The marigolds may possibly reseed them selves mine always did.
Some of your herbs may come back on their own next year.
Next year you might want to consider using perennials so that they will come back the following year and all you will have to do them will be cover them at the end of the year. and It saves you money on not having to buy annuals each year.
You can also create yourself a small inside herb garden for your kitchen. Just plant your herbs in a pot and keep in front of a lighted window.
I planted annuals for many years in a row but with the prices of the annuals getting higher each year I finally decided i was throwing away money and plant all perennials now. Some times I will fill in with a few annuals just for a change of scenery.
Reply:PANSIES, MARIGOLDS, PETUNIAS, GERANIUMS, AND DAISIES ALL COME BACK NEXT YEAR SO, NOT TO FREAT. DIG UP YOUR HERBS AND POT THEM FOR INSIDE PLANTS UNTILL THE WHEATHER GETS WARM AGAIN, PLANT THEM BACK OUT SIDE AGAIN!
