I can be like a rose and a venus fly trap.
What flower or plant do you think best represents your personality?
forget me not.the more you take care of it the more it gives continous flowers.
Reply:There is a wild flower here in Central Cali that I particularly love. When I see I feel a lot of happiness and love. It puts a smile on my face for sure. I don't think that it has been named, but I am sure it is apart of a family. I couldn't tell you the name of family if my life depended on it.

Should flower and vegetable gardens to only be watered in the morning or late afternoon?
Is this just a myth or can you water at any time of the day?
Should flower and vegetable gardens to only be watered in the morning or late afternoon?
you should water in the morning and late afternoon if the weather is really hot .otherwise morning is fine .dont water at the hottest part of the day as this will burn your roots and your plants . good luck .
Reply:During the summer watering in the early morning and evening is always a good idea. It guarantees that the plants/lawn get a more thorough watering because there will be less evaporation due to the cooler temps....
Reply:watering at night makes them more likely to get diseased. Water in the morning.
Reply:If it is really hot out then water your plants down to keep them cool. but watering your garden in the evening can invite mold and fungus to grow over night. plants like to be watered early in the morning, mainly just soaking the soil will do fine. If you water when there is dew on the ground then your plants will do great.
Reply:The reasoning behind not watering other times is this: during early afternoon the sun's rays are at their peak and you lose water to evaporation. Also the droplets on the leaves can act as a magnifier and burn the leaves if its getting direct sun at the time. Night watering supposedly makes plants more susceptible to fungal problems because dampness and darkness = fungus. Also this is said to encourage slugs and other night nibblers. That being said, I try to water in the morning but if I forget, I do water in the evening, just a little lighter. I also try to keep water off the leaves and just get the roots. I've never had any problems. I think its harder on the plants to be thirsty a whole additional day than to get an occasional evening sprinkle! I'm in Missouri in zone 6, your conditions might be different, of course.
Hope it helps!
Reply:Betty, the early morning is the best time. The late afternoon is the worst. In the morning the plants have a chance to take up the water so it's available to them in the hot afternoon sun. It takes a while for the plants to "drink", so the water applied in the afternoon is not available to the plants when they need it most. Be sure you are putting the water on the plants roots only, not watering over-head. Getting the plants leaves wet, especially in the afternoon, allows the water beads to act as a magnifying glass, burning the leaves. Don't water the plants in the evening, either, then the water creates opportunities for fungus to start.
Do you water with a hose? The easy way to do this is to turn the hose on so low it only drips, then put it under a plant for a hour or two, then move it. If you need to water daily, turn the hose on faster, and let it sit in one spot for shorter times. Another solution is to get the black hoses with Lazar holes in them that act as a drip system. Do you have a drip system already in place? This is the best way to water your plants. Set your timer for 5 minutes at 5 a.m., for 10 minutes at 6 a.m., and for 15 minutes at 7a.m. If you have more questions, you may email me through my profile.
Reply:Yes, only in the mornings and evenings. If you water during the middle of the day when it's usually the hottest and sunniest, quite a bit of the water will evaporate before actually hitting the plant and the water that actually gets into the ground will dry out fairly fast due to the sun and heat.
Never water after dark though because it's increases the chances of root rot.
Reply:Best if you water in the morning, like before 10. It gives them chance to absorb water before the noon/afternoon heat arrives.affiliate reviews

What flower did the queen have in the portrait by rolf harris?
Hi there,
here's his website which shows the portrait. There is no "flower" that can be identified in the portrait. If you are referring to the vase in the background, it's WAYYYY too vague for anyone to define a flower in that.

Dried flower favourite(7). - - a - i - -?
I dry the Yarrow I grow. Other good dried flowers are strawflower and statice. And I have some cool looking seedheads from my Echinacea.
Dried flower favourite(7). - - a - i - -?
No dried flowers in my home. They do not look good, collect dust, colors fade, and they are dead.
Reply:Hydrangeas. Dry them hanging upside down in a cool airy spot, or put individual stems into small bottles with water in them. Set them in a cool area. After a couple of days, hang them to dry.
They last forever!
Reply:cone flowers, look great in the garden, comes in different colors, and dry very easy!, you can dry the buds or the open flower. There also good for crafts!
you may also want to try chinese lanterns, after they turn bright oarnge/red, cut the stems and remove the leaves, these look nice when there mixed with cone flowersskin disease

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.
Reply:eh... no comment. ...people dig disney movies so I'm not voicing my opinion.make up
