Regarding Flower the Skunk in the Disney movie Bambi, does he come across as gay to anyone else?

Of course, I didn't notice it when I watched it as a child, but watching that movie now with my kids, it sure seems like he's a little on the effeminate side.
Regarding Flower the Skunk in the Disney movie Bambi, does he come across as gay to anyone else?
No, he's shy. There's a huge difference there.
Reply:why does it matter?
Reply:No, I think they were just showing how shy he was and how happy he was to have a friend, because he was a skunk after all - probably not a lot of critters wanted to get too close.





I can see how you would get that idea, but you have to remember the times this movie was made in. If you were to translate the characters into present times then Flower was gay, Thumper was a bully and the stag was a loser deadbeat dad - what kind of movie would that be for kids? I'm pretty sure that wasn't the intention with those characters.
Reply:this is a child's movie and they don't notice anything other than a cute skunk - so what is your opinion of Peter Pan and his lost boys??? just enjoy the movies don't pass your problems on to your children
Reply:No....I don't think so but then, I don't think that way about Disney movies....I guess I just become a kid all over again! haha.
Reply:noooooo.... ITRY NOT TO PUT SEXUAL LABEL ON FICTIONAL ANIMATIONS








get real, stop being shallow.
Reply:No he does not come across as gay just shy. If your remember in the end of the movie he finds a girl skunk and goes off with her.

Similairly people in this world - be it poets, artistes or the common man have always given importance to beauty. Hence, who doesn't want attention? Thus every girl wants to flaunt what she does/doesnt have... am not saying its justified. Am just telling you that they have a reason.

Which flower means something special to you?

Roses . . .





All though I am allergic to them they carry special meaning to me because my grandmother loved them. She had rose bushes at every corner of her house. Several in other areas of her yard as well. She had a well formed arbor of roses she called Mr. Lincoln's across her walkway to the front door.





She even had this row of white rose bushes along her driveway that nearly broke my 10 yr old back to plant for her. We planted them to resemble a rose garden she saw in a magazine. Anyone else would have been disappointed when they started blooming pink one year because there were red roses nearby and the bees cross pollenated them. Not my grandmother she got excited every season to see what "shade" they'd be this year.





One of her favorite activities was to go out and prune them. She's also pluck off new buds early so she'd get a fuller crop of roses. She's get a beautiful glow from the sun each summer from tending to her flowers.





If she ever got pricked by the thorns on her rose bushes she'd smile and say "Kissed by a rose."





I sure do miss her!! Thanks for letting me share my memories of her.

In the wild it's grown in sandy locations or beach environments and is a perennial in zone 10, but is grown as an annual in most of the United States. It's a great plant for hot, dry weather.

What flower is called Johnny-Jump-Ups ???
Johnny Jump Ups are a popular viola. They are called "old fashioned" favorites. These perennials are often grown as an annual, especially in northern parts of the country.





Johnny Jump Ups are native to Spain and the Pyrennes Mountains. Easy to grow, you may find them growing in the wild in fields, and along the road.





Small plants produce a wealth of dainty, fragrant blooms. Johnny Jump Up blooms are a combination of bright yellow and deep purple. They bloom early in the season.





Johnny Jump Up are popular, easy, and fun to grow. Fill an area or entire bed with Johnny Jump Up for a striking effect! They also are great in windowsills and containers.
Reply:It's a type of violet.

What flower is best to put on a grave?
I know many people say carnations, but i think it's tacky. I would go with tulips. They're beautiful, and not as cliche as roses.
Reply:I usually choose one that the person liked. It shows how much I knew the person, it shows my connection to that person, it's symbolic of the good memories tied to that person, and I am remembering a part of their life in the form of their likes (and sometimes dislikes; ie - my grandma disliked roses but loved sunflowers).





To me, it's similar to bringing over a bouquet of flowers to give to someone as a gift. When you give a gift, you take the other person's likes and interests to heart.
Reply:Anything that has sentimental meaning for you...
Reply:The best flower is the one that means something to you. Cemeteries exist as a place for the living to remember those who have passed. Therefore, pick something that means something to you. Something that brings you happiness.





If you are planting, it is good to choose something that doesn't need daily maintenance and exists in the native climate. That is even more important where you may not be able to tend to the plantings for extended periods of time.





To maintain some order with respect to what shows up on graves and crypts, most burial parks have requirements about grave plantings and mausoleum decorations. Obviously, choose within these guidelines, which vary widely depending on the cemetery.

Any flower represent nurse?

I don't think there's a flower that "represents" nursing, but a


Geranium means "comfort", and a Peony means "healing."





Then I found this:


Lily of The Valley





A tribute to the Student Nurses was written by Paul Lawrence Dunbar after he was a patient at Miami Valley Hospital.





Sweetest of the flowers a-blooming


In the fragrant vernal days


Is the Lily of the Valley


With its soft retiring ways.





Well you chose this humble blossom


As the Nurse's emblem flower,


Who grows more like her ideal


Every day and every hour.





Like the Lily of The Valley


In her honesty and worth


Ah, she blooms in truth and virture


In the quiet nooks of earth.





Tho' she stands erect in honor


When the heart of mankind bleeds,


She still hides her own deserving


In the beauty of her deeds.





In the silence of the darkness


Where no eye may see or know,


There her footsteps shod with mercy,


And fleet kindness come and go.





Not amid the sounds of plaudits,


Nor before the garish days,


Does she shed her soul's sweet perfume,


Does she take her gentle way.





But alike her ideal flower


With its honey-laden breath


Still her heart blooms forth its beauty


In the valley shades of death.





from: http://www.nursesareangels.com/MVH_anniv...





Is the Lily of the Valley the flower that represents nurses? I don't know, but this is a great poem for anyone in the profession.

This flower's name is from the Greek word for star?
Aster
Reply:aster
Reply:Aster (syn. Diplopappus Cass.) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus once contained nearly 600 species in Eurasia and North America, but after morphologic and molecular research on the genus during the 1990's, it was decided that the North American species are better treated in a series of other genera. After this split there are roughly 180 species within the genus, all but one being confined to Eurasia. The name Aster comes from the Ancient Greek word astron, meaning "star", arriving through the Latin word astrum with the same meaning, referring to the shape of the flower head. Many species and a variety of hybrids and varieties are popular as garden plants because of their attractive and colourful flowers. Aster species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera which feed on Aster. Asters can grow in all hardiness zones.

Evolutionists: Flower or bee, where is the evidence or can you admit it is all speculation?

I read the great sorce on coevolution that was suggested. In it it said,"The HYPOTHETICAL coevolution of pollination and angiosperms.." It listed many great species DESIGNED specifically for each other too.
Evolutionists: Flower or bee, where is the evidence or can you admit it is all speculation?
Early gymnosperms and angiosperms were wind-pollinated.





Like modern gymnosperms, the ovule exuded droplets of sap to catch pollen grains.


Insects (beetles) on the plant found this protein/sugar mix and used it as food.





Insects became dependent on this food source and started carrying pollen from plant to plant.





Beetle-pollination must have been more efficient than wind for some species, so there was natural selection for plants that attracted insects.


Next to occur would have been the evolution of nectaries, nectar-secreting structures, to lure the pollinators.





Development of white or brightly-colored, conspicuous flowers to draw attention to the nectar and/or other food sources would also have occurred.





The carpel (female reproductive structure) was originally leaf-shaped. It became folded on itself to enclose and protect the ovule from being eaten by the pollinators (hence Angiosperms). Plants with protected ovules would have been selected over ones with ovules that got eaten.


By the beginning of the Cenozoic Era (65 mya), the first bees, wasps, butterflies, and moths had evolved. The significance in this is that these are insects for which flowers are often the only source of nutrition for the adults.





From this point on, certain plant and insect species have had a profound influence on one another’s evolution. A flower that attracted specific pollinators on a regular basis had an advantage (less wasted pollen) over flowers that attracted “promiscuous” pollinators. It is also an advantage for the pollinator to have its own “private” food source because there is, thus, less competition. The varied shapes, colors, and odors of flowers allowed sensory recognition by pollinators and excluded unwanted, indiscriminate pollinators.








Today, over 65% of Angiosperms are insect-pollinated and 20% of insects, at least at some stage, depend on flowers for their food.





Check out the excellent link for more info.
Reply:The co-evolution of pollination and angiosperms is a theory based on evolution. All the science suggests it is true. Some forms of co-evolution have even been observed and studied.





Within evolution, there are many theories as to why specific types of species became the way they are. All these theories are based on scientific study, data, experimentation, etc. None of this science suggests in any way that there was something "designing" species.
Reply:Evolution is fact. The theory regards the mechanisms behind the fact.





Creationism is not a theory, it's not even science. It has no evidence.





You should also be aware, that if evolutionary theory were ever overturned, it would be done so via a scientifi theory that better explains the evidence (rather unlikely).





Pointing out well-known gaps in evolutionary chains in no way demonstrates "God did it".
Reply:You've become trapped by words, but I suppose that's understandable for a literalist. What has captured you is known as teleology and I'll let you read about that on your own:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleology





Your other point - hypothetical and speculation - is entirely true. The theory of evolution moves incrementally from speculation and hypothesis to concrete knowledge. It's not a complete theory but it is a well-established theory. No evolutionary biologist will admit we know it all - science is always a work in progress - but since Darwin's day, evolution has had more than a century of support from every aspect of science. To effectively argue evolution (for or against) you're going to need more than a "great source on coevolution," I'd suggest an advanced degree in one of the life sciences.
Reply:Huh?





Evolution isn't just speculation. There are predictions. Those predictions are tested, and found to be true.





Sorry, but we all know that design is just Creationism dressed up. And we all know that modern Creationist are felons, like Kent Hovind.





So if you want to go on your soapbox and say "Yes, I proudly embrace the same sense of honesty that tax frauds like Kent Hovind do", then go ahead. It'll make life easier for everyone else to know which side is honest, and which side is criminal.
Reply:There is lots of evidence of evolution, and the fact of the matter is that while it's referred to as a theory, the difference is that there is NO evidence of intelligent design. Which theory would you have us lean towards, then: a theory with solid evidence to back it up, or a notion that some magical being created us all and which has no evidence supporting it?

The Beautiful Passion Flower





Advantages easy to grow, beautful flowers and leaves


Disadvantages slugs and snails like to munch on them !


I have had my own house for about 2 years now and have only a very small garden with limited space for growing plants. I was bought the Passion Flower by my parents who assured me it was very easy to grow, as I don't have a very good track record with keeping plants alive. This is mainly because I refuse to use slug and snail pellets etc as I think it's cruel.





Anyway, back on topic, here I will be reviewing the beautiful Passion Flower.





The Passion Flower


As I already said, the Passion Flower is very easy to grow, both in conservatories as well as in the garden. This plant originates from the tropical rain forest regions of South America. The ripe Passion Flower has a very distinctive aroma not found in any other flower. The Passion Flower is a climbing plant and the vines which climb are also very pretty with lovely shaped leaves (the leaves are a similar shape to cannabis leaves). The leaves are a dark green color and once the plant has begun to climb, the leaves are very close together and make up the majority of the plant. The Passion Flower itself is very beautiful, it's purple, yellow and white in color and can measure 2-3 inches across. Flowers bloom from June to August and for the rest of the year you are left with the leaves which can die and fall off during the winter months, leaving you with just the vines but these all grow back come spring.





Uses


The Passion Flower is actually more than just a beautiful flower. The Passion Flower is edible, the fruits and flowers can be eaten raw or cooked in jams and jellies and young leaves can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable or in salads.





The Passion Flower also had medicinal properties. It has been reported that it can help with the following problems:





Anxiety


Passion flower has a tranquilizing effect, including mild sedative and anti-anxiety effects. In studies conducted since the 1930's, it has been found to be different than that of most sedative drugs (sleeping pills), thus making it a non-addictive herb to promote relaxation.





Insomnia:


The sedative effect of Passion flower has also made it popular for treating a variety of ailments, including nervousness and insomnia. Research had indicated that passion flower has a complex activity on the body's central nervous system, which is responsible for its overall tranquilizing effects. Also, it apparently has an excellent effect on smooth muscles within the body, including the digestive system which helped promote good digestion.





How To Grow The Passion Flower


Passion Flowers are easy to grow but can sometimes be difficult to keep alive during the winter months because their roots can rot if they are consistently cold and wet - although I have never had a problem with this. In the wild, the Passion Flower would grow where the ground is very well drained therefore you should try to plant your Passion Flower in a well drained area of soil.





I was bought a young passion flower rather than attempting to grow it from seeds. I planted it in a well drained area, and checked it regularly to see if the snails and slugs had been munching on it. I protected the plant while it was small and covered it with a 2 liter lemonade bottle until the plant began to mature and begin to climb.





Looking After The Passion Flower


I find that the Passion Flower takes very little looking after. Obviously during the summer, when the soil is dry, it will need watering. The Passion Flower thrives on lots of water (which is very convenient considering the British weather!). The leaves of this plant are fairly large and can loose large amounts of water whilst the plant is growing so you will need to ensure that during the hottest summer months you water it regularly, preferable on a daily basis but to be honest, during the summer months, I did forget to water it a few times and it didn't die on me! During the winter you will probably have to water it as little as once a week, probably less depending on how much rainfall we have.





If you wish for your Passion Flower to grow very quickly (for example, to fill a particular space) then you can always feed it any of the plant feed on the market and it will take this quite greedily and will make the plant grow very quickly.





As already mentioned, the Passion Flower is a climbing plant. The only other maintenance that I can think of it that you may need to adjust the vines as it grows. For example, I have my Passion Flower growing along the fence and quite often new shoots decide they want to try and grow over my neighbor's fence so I have to untangle them and place them in a place that I want them to grow. I find new shoots on my plant quite often and found that it was very easy to get this plant to fill the space I wanted it to.





The vines have 'feelers' growing from them and this has got to be my favorite part of the plant. The 'feelers' grab hold of anything they can and held to support the plant as it grows. The 'feelers' sort of curl themselves over and over again and if they don't find anything to grab hold of, then they just curl round themselves. I love this part of the plant as I think it adds real character.





Pruning


Once your plant has reached the size you want it to, you will need to keep it pruned to ensure that it does not take over your garden (and other peoples) as it will do if it is just left. You should prune your plant in spring time when the growth of the plant starts again. You should remove older shoots and any dead sections of the plant and trim back any that have grown further than you wanted them to.





Summary: An easy to grow, beautiful plant
Reply:They like to be planted in the sun, make sure that you water them every day, and you can even plant them in the ground and then repot them in the fall.
Reply:Grow it where it can have full support for its massive vines, such as a trellis or arbor, feed it on occasion. protect from damaging winds and make sure its in a sunny location and don't allow its soil to dry out. If growing it in a pot, make sure its no less than 18" in diameter.
Reply:one of my favorite plants! It is hardy in my climate so we have many different kinds. I grew them when i lived in Virginia under florecents in the winter. The only problem i ever had was spider mites. Neem will take care of that just be sure to spray after lights out or they will burn. Passiflora incarnata is a varietey that is hardy to zone 6. if planted in a protected area it can survive intense frosts.genealogy mormon

Can anykind of ground be made into a flower bed?

I have an area behind my house that has some dirt over top of concrete. If I dump plenty of dirt and plenty of fertilizer on top of the concrete, can that area become a suitable place to grow flowers?
Can anykind of ground be made into a flower bed?
You didn't say if this was dirt over a concrete slab or fill dirt over concrete rubble. In either case the answer is yes.





In the case of the dirt over slab it depends how deep the slab is. You would be best using raised beds to increase the soil depth.





If it is fill dirt over rubble, the best answer may still be raised beds. It all depends on how much rubble there is in the soil, the size of the rubble and the amount of work you want to put into the project.





We have several pages on our website dealing with soil improvement and raised beds at-

Good Luck and Happy Gardening!
Reply:Perhaps, but it certainly not ideal growing conditions. If the concrete is broken up into small chunks, you could remove it bit by bit. I had lots of about 1 foot square pieces of concrete buried in my flower beds when I moved into my house (no idea why!) and I snuck them in with my garbage at the curb every week for a few months until it was all gone.
Reply:It is possible. I would say use flowers that are native to your area or whatever you like to have.
Reply:For the most part yes, just some might take more work than others. The best is ground with a decent level of nitrogen and that has loose moist soil. However these days soils you can buy at home depot or fertilizers work pretty well. Make sure to read the directions though, you don't want to poison your flower bed either. Try to just loosen up the earth in the area you want to use, get all the roots and weeds out of the area. I'd also water the soil the night before you plan on planting in the area. If you use the pre-grown flowers its better if the soil around the plant is similar in moisture and consistency to where you're planting it. Also talk to people at lowes or home depot- they always know everything about everything.
Reply:yes you can. There is a no-dig way of gardening that uses layers of straw, newspapers etc that is placed on croncrete within a built-in surrounds. Also You could use polyurethene (spelling?) white boxes. The kind that fruiterers get their fruit from the markets. The boxes are filled with potting mix and then the flowers. You would have to make sure you keep up the watering if you don't have regular rain.





good luck
Reply:it depends on how well you develop that area, you should plan this area so that the plots and plants planted are arranged to have plenty of sunshine and not just "dumped" in the said area, your area should also have proper drainage, so that the area will not be water logged and learn which plant is best suitable for your area's climate and soil condition.White Teeth

Orchids will bloom all year round inside the home, providing you are able to mimic it's natural growing conditions.

I live on the Gulf Coast. I have Encore Azaleas in my yard and while they don't bloom continuously, they do bloom several times a year and last for a long time. They also do not lose their leaves, so are a pretty shrub even when not blooming. You need to check out a good privately owned nursery where you live for advice. They usually have plants that are acclimated for your area.

Plant/Flower help! 10 points!?

1) the pressure of driving water up through a plant is created where?


2) does cohesion or adhesion try to pull water up a tube?


3) How does the size of a tube effect the height at which water ascends?


4) A pot of wet soil will remain wetter long if there is or isn't a plant in it. Explain.
Plant/Flower help! 10 points!?
a) Root pressure drives water up





b) Cohesion (water molecules "stick" to each other and pull each other up)





c) Water will ascend higher in a tube with smaller diameter because of adhesion. Adhesion is where water molecules stick to the container they are in - in this case the tube. A smaller tube means more of the water molecule will adhere and so they can rise higher.





d) It will remain wetter longer if there isn't a plant in it. Evaporation of water from the soil surface area will be the same both ways, but when there is a plant in the pot, transpiration will also occur where water will be pulled from the soil into the plant and then evaporate from the leaves.make up

Germanating flower seeds?

hI, Ive bought some summer plant seeds and says ive to germinate them for 14 days. I have put them in separate small pots and put them on the sunny window sill.


What I would like to know is, do I keep them watered and I have them in a good place. \There are not any instructions on the packets I bought.


Your advise would be appreciated. Also are bulbs faster growing?


Thanks
Germanating flower seeds?
Keep the soil damp but not wet, you could put each pot in a clear plastic bag to cut down drying but look at them every day and when they have sprouted take off the bag. You will then need to keep a close eye to make sure they don't dry out.


When the seedlings are about one to one and a half inches high you will need to gently loosen the compost and transplant them into their own pots or several into a bigger pot to give them space to develop. Keep them in bright light BUT NOT SUN. When they are several inches high and look stronger, say in three or four weeks then plant them carefully in the garden and make sure they are watered regularly until they have settled in 7 - 10 days. Bulbs don't grow any faster but they last from year to year. Overall bulb plants are easier to look after but the range is limited.
Reply:It helps if you can put some clear plastic bags over them to keep the moisture in.
Reply:I like to put them in a clear bag until they germinate but make sure you check them daily and don't let it get too hot. You may need to have a peephole .


Keep the soil damp but not wet.


As soon as you see any green remove the bag.





A sunny window is a good place but once you start to get true leaves ( the first pair that you see are called cotyledons and are just "helper" leaves) then it does help to rotate the pots aboout a quarter every day or so to ensure they get sun from all sides and don't start leaning to the window to get more sun.


Also depending on how many seeds you put in each pot yo may have to be ruthless and thin the pot out to allow well spaced seedlings to grow. If they are too crowded they will not thrive.





Welcome to the wonderful world of gardening
Reply:yes, keep them in a sunny nice place(like you said on your window sill) and always keep them watered. dont over water them though. but dont give them to less water just inbetween! no problems!
Reply:don't water them unless they need it but they should be ok for a few weeks to much water gives them damp rot prick them out when the second leaf is about 1 inch
Reply:you need to keep the soil moist
Reply:keep the compost damp but not wet
Reply:All seeds need to be covered at twice the depth of the seed size.Did you do that?No cover,no growth,too deep cover,no growth.You need less water than you might imagine,the seed will germinate with even a hint of moisture,once germinated then water a bit more.Remove from sunny spot after germination,place in a cool,but light environment,otherwise they will grow too quick and get leggy.

Reply:Geraniums. They are pretty sturdy flowers. It depends on your climate, though. I live in California on the coast where they thrive all year long. I prefer the "rose scented" variety.

Reply:I remember at our home in New Jersey, we planted Daffodils outdoors one spring and they continued to bloom years after. Most outdoor flowers that are planted from bulbs continue to bloom each year. Gladiolas are another pretty bulb flower.
Reply:I don't know if you live in the cold north or the warm south such as southern California or Florida, but most flowers do not live year round unless you live in a warm climate. Flowers that come back each year are called perennials. The list is too long to type here as there are thousands of them. Send for free gardening catalogs and each flower will give its description and as to whether it is a perennial. Here are a couple:

What do you think of flowers?which flower do you like best and why?

I never met a flower I didn't like, only some that didn't smell so good!


I love the smell of gardenias, peonies and some irises.


I appreciate the beauty and the benefits of the dandelion. Most people want to kill them.


Check this out:Dandelions can be beneficial to a garden ecosystem as well as to human health. Dandelions attract beneficial ladybugs and provide early spring pollen for their food.(1,2) In a study done at the University of Wisconsin, experimental plots with dandelions had more ladybugs than dandelion free plots, and fewer pest aphids, a favorite food of the ladybugs.(2) Dandelions long roots aerate the soil and enable the plant to accumulate minerals,(3) which are added to the soil when the plant dies. uncooked dandelion leaves contains 280 percent of an adult's daily requirement of beta carotene as well as more than half the requirement of vitamin C. Dandelions are also rich in vitamin A.(4, 5)


Dandelions are also used as herbal remedies. The white sap from the stem and root is used as a topical remedy for warts. The whole plant is used as a diuretic and liver stimulant.(6)

If you can say this isn't one of the best flowers and plants in your yard then I guess I'm nut's
What do you think of flowers?which flower do you like best and why?
I adore flowers, especially sun flowers, they remind me of the sun. Warm, bright and soothing. To me you can't get any better than that. I'm a nature girl, I believe in letting the fairies tend to my gardens, they haven't let me down for 15 years. First thing and most important is believing. Second is to sprinkle your garden with ginger (lightly), place a bowl of milk or wine in your garden and some cake, ask the fairies to tend your garden for you, to keep it safe. Also it helps to build a fairy house for them to dwell. ( All natural materials). Another very important thing, if you or someone else wants to pick a flower or trim a tree, ask the plant first and say why. Example: I want to bring your beauty inside my home or I need to trim your branches so you stay healthy. A good movie to watch is

Reply:Sunflower seeds are high in calories and should therefore be eaten in limited quantities. If you eat two tablespoons of sunflower seeds a day, you will double your vitamin E intake which is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. Sunflower seeds also provide antioxidant defence against cancer as well as against cataracts.





The hulls are primarily fiber. Eating a lot of the hulls could conceivably cause one to become impacted. If not chewed properly, the sharp pieces of shell could possibly puncture or attach to the linings of the esophagus or digestive tract. However, the NSA office has not received any reports that would confirm either of these concerns.fitness

Back flower remedy?

Back flower remedy?
this site will answer a lot of your questions It's probably better to seek advice from a Bach Flower remedy therapist in the first instance to ascertain the best remedy for you rather than buy a handful from a shelf and be unsure as to which of them is helping and which isn't of any use to you. http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSI...

Can flower bulbs last more than one year?

My wife has a number of gladiola bulbs that she could not plant last summer because of our move.


Will they still be plantable this summer?


She is also wondering about cosmos seeds which are left over from 2 years ago. She also has some other annual seeds left over. We would appreciate any advice.
Can flower bulbs last more than one year?
Yes I have used older seeds and bulbs. they may not all sprout, but most should.
Reply:Yes bulbs and seeds will last for as long as you take care of them. My grandmother used to keep her bulbs in the cellar until she was ready to plant them. Back in her day friends would share bulbs so that they would all have nice flower gardens.
Reply:The bulbs are pretty hardy and should keep well. Not sure about those particular seeds. I would expect the same though, unless they have been exposed to high heat or extreme cold.
Reply:The only way to find out for sure is to plant both of them. The glads may bloom this year and cosmos seem to last forever.

Germanating flower seeds?

hI, Ive bought some summer plant seeds and says ive to germinate them for 14 days. I have put them in separate small pots and put them on the sunny window sill.


What I would like to know is, do I keep them watered and I have them in a good place. \There are not any instructions on the packets I bought.


Your advise would be appreciated. Also are bulbs faster growing?


Thanks
Germanating flower seeds?
Keep the soil damp but not wet, you could put each pot in a clear plastic bag to cut down drying but look at them every day and when they have sprouted take off the bag. You will then need to keep a close eye to make sure they don't dry out.


When the seedlings are about one to one and a half inches high you will need to gently loosen the compost and transplant them into their own pots or several into a bigger pot to give them space to develop. Keep them in bright light BUT NOT SUN. When they are several inches high and look stronger, say in three or four weeks then plant them carefully in the garden and make sure they are watered regularly until they have settled in 7 - 10 days. Bulbs don't grow any faster but they last from year to year. Overall bulb plants are easier to look after but the range is limited.
Reply:It helps if you can put some clear plastic bags over them to keep the moisture in.
Reply:I like to put them in a clear bag until they germinate but make sure you check them daily and don't let it get too hot. You may need to have a peephole .


Keep the soil damp but not wet.


As soon as you see any green remove the bag.





A sunny window is a good place but once you start to get true leaves ( the first pair that you see are called cotyledons and are just "helper" leaves) then it does help to rotate the pots aboout a quarter every day or so to ensure they get sun from all sides and don't start leaning to the window to get more sun.


Also depending on how many seeds you put in each pot yo may have to be ruthless and thin the pot out to allow well spaced seedlings to grow. If they are too crowded they will not thrive.





Welcome to the wonderful world of gardening
Reply:yes, keep them in a sunny nice place(like you said on your window sill) and always keep them watered. dont over water them though. but dont give them to less water just inbetween! no problems!
Reply:don't water them unless they need it but they should be ok for a few weeks to much water gives them damp rot prick them out when the second leaf is about 1 inch
Reply:you need to keep the soil moist
Reply:keep the compost damp but not wet
Reply:All seeds need to be covered at twice the depth of the seed size.Did you do that?No cover,no growth,too deep cover,no growth.You need less water than you might imagine,the seed will germinate with even a hint of moisture,once germinated then water a bit more.Remove from sunny spot after germination,place in a cool,but light environment,otherwise they will grow too quick and get leggy.

How do I get rid of a Vinegar/Flower Smell?

Ok so I read on yahoo answers to use vinegar on cat urine to make the smell go away. So I sprayed it all over the carpet in my room (not sure where the dang cat peed) 30 min later I went up and sprinkled flowery baking soda stuff on the carpet and vacuumed...


Well now it smells like vinegar and flowers, it isnt very plesant. What can I get that will take away all the smell?





And does anyone have suggestions for future cleansing of cat urine, in carpet, in case it doesnt work, or he does it again

Which flower is more expensive roses or tulips?

I love both roses and tulips...I'm trying to decide on wedding bouquets and i want to know, which in your opinion is prettier and which one is least expensive?
Which flower is more expensive roses or tulips?
The prices of roses/tulips depend on their varieties, so I can't say which is cheaper. See the example pictures below.





Wholesale prices of roses range from less than a quarter / stem (short stem, small bloom, low petal count, common color) to more than a few dollars / stem (long stem, big bloom, high petal count, award-winning color).





The same is true for tulips; from less than a quarter / stem to more than a few bucks / stem at wholesale.





So obviously, a bridal bouquet made of, say, two dozen roses (or tulips) can be as "cheap" as $40 (cost + labor + profit) or can be more than a couple of hundred bucks.





For this reason, most of us (florists) want to know how much a bride wants to spend for a particular wedding flower. We then figure out what kind of varieties of roses/tulips we can use within the budget.
Reply:My favorite flower is tulips but my florist said they would be out of season during the summer. I used mostly roses and lillies and I think roses are pretty cheap anyway. You can always do a combination if one of them is too expensive.
Reply:It depends when your wedding is! If it's after mid May tulips will be out of season, so roses would be a lot less expensive.





Roses are always classic and create a nice formal look.
Reply:~~Roses ~~
Reply:i dont know
Reply:Tulips are cheaper and look nice
Reply:tulips are my favourite flower, however I personally have chosen roses. It depends on the time of year you are getting married. You should speak to your florist. Good luck
Reply:I'm not sure about the price of them but I am aware that tulips don't last very long when in a bouquet, due to the heat etc.





I had ivory roses in mine and they lasted all day and night :)
Reply:Roses defiantly.
Reply:It depends on the season and the color which is cheaper. You'd want to ask your florist about it.





I prefer roses, but that's just my taste!
Reply:def. roses
Reply:Roses of course, but i prefer tulips.
Reply:Roses are probably one of the most inexpensive wedding flowers; unless it's in February
Reply:I believe that tulips are cheaper as long as they are in season. I personally prefer tulips if it is a simpler wedding or an outdoor wedding. I always found roses to be so unoriginal, but that is just my personal taste. I have seen beautiful things done with both roses and tulips, so I think if you were going for something more elegant and ornate, pick roses... something simpler and casual, pick tulips.

Reply:Roses are more expensive. Tulips are nice but keep in mind, they can be so much more amazingly delicate than roses.
