My lilac bush is rather tall about 8 feet, with lots of green leaves. Not too many flowers. Most are at the top. the flowers are finished blooming and green seeds are forming where they were. Is it too late to do any thing now? if not, what should i do? Is dead heading taking just the part that flowered or more of that stem?
How do i prune or trim my lilac bush?
You're supposed to 'dead head' the flower once it's gone brown.
I have a white lilac which is nearly 80 years old and so tall, about 20 feet, that I can't get to the top.
I stopped 'dead heading' several years ago, and now I get more flowers than I did before !
You can prune by cutting it back in the autumn (fall), cutting the branch just above a bud, and with a downward diagonal cut, like this /, so the rain doesn't soak into the cut.
Reply:I've read that the best time to prune a lilac is after the blooms are gone. Trim the small suckers and shoots, and leave the large branches. Lilacs are hardy - I just dug up and moved one that was at least as tall as yours, and it barely even noticed. I'm told that you can prune a full third of the plant, and it'll come back bigger and thicker than ever next year.

Iam growing strawberry plants?
the edges are all dark brown at the leaves. the flower part is also dark brown any help
Iam growing strawberry plants?
Hi
Remove any dead leaves, lift plants and re-pot in six inch plants using new potting compost and place in a greenhouse or cold frame, if successful re-plant any runners (new growth) to increase your stock, dont over water.
Ray.
Reply:they are dying there may be grub worms or not enough water and feed
Reply:Could be a manganese deficiency in your soil. I would get a soil test kit, if you really want to know the answer, or add some liquid fertilizer containing manganese (and other nutrients).

Passion Flower and it's religious connection?
I'm not sure if this is the right section to ask this, but I know that the flower, Passiflora or the Passion Flower, has a story involving a religious connection in that the parts of the flower is connected to people, saints, events, in the bible, for example, it has 10 outer leaves - 10 for the 10 commandments and each part of the flower has some connection like that. I have searched the Internet but cannot find anything about it, can anyone help. Many thanks.
Passion Flower and it's religious connection?
Leaf symbolises the spear
Five anthers for five wounds
The tendrils for the whip cords
Column of the ovary the upright of the cross
The stamens the hammers
Three styles for three nails
Threads inside flower for crown of thorns
The calyx the glory
The white tint purity
The blue tint Heaven
The flower opens for 3 days for the years of His ministry or the days in the tomb.
Reply:~~~ MM ,,, I believe that it was named by Spanish Explorers who settled in Tropical areas of the Pacific Ocean %26amp; Brazil who noticed that the Passion Fruit Blossom resembles what could be the "Crown of Thorns", and some numerical correlations to match their Symbolism, which was worn by their messiah, in his walk to his crucifixion. ~ Namaste`

Does the wild edelweiss flower that grows high in the Swiss Alps have thorns?
I am not refering to the garden variety edelweiss or the American version of the edelweiss plant. I am specifically refering to the wild edelweiss that grows only in some parts of the Swiss Alps at an altitude of 2,000 to 2,900. The Genus and Species name is: Leontopodium alpinum. I would like to know if this plant has thorns on the stem. I don't think you can really answer this question unless you have actually been to the Swiss alps and have seen an actual flower. I spoke to several Swiss residents and most said they have never seen one in their lifetime. By thorns I do not necessarily mean thorns as in rose thorns. I was told by some Swiss people that you can get pricked if you try to touch them. They diddn't know the English word for "thorns" and I would just like to know more about this really famous and beautiful flower. I don't think they were refering to it being illegal to pick the flower because we discussed that separately. I believe they were refering to actual thorns.
Does the wild edelweiss flower that grows high in the Swiss Alps have thorns?
My mom has one of these blossoms preserved in a glass pendant -- it had been plucked from the Alps and given to her as a gift when she was younger (my family is from Germany originally). While it is "furry", I see no indication of thorns, and she has never mentioned any to me (she also picked them herself when younger -- she is 87 now). But in doing some on-line research to substantiate this, I found THIS disturbing tidbit of information:
"The latest research, however, initially in a book dating from 1910, but ony recently recovered, indicates that Edelweiss, the flower, was actually imported from Asia sometime within the past centuries. What a travisty of justice for virually the national symbol of Austria and the Alps!"

Reply:No. I have seen one in Austria and not just on a coin ;)
Reply:it is not at all pricky, it is in fact fluffy, soft.
it can however be mistaken for some species of thistle (Cirsium) when it doesnt have flowers. these are thorny. this can be my guessxplanation for the confusion
the plant is not much common/widespread, therefore if you go to the mountains for a trip, you probably won t see one. but they are grown in gardens commonly, either obtained from nurseries or pillaged from the wild.
no difference between the cultivated and wild plants

How to deadhead a potted hydrangea (macrophylla)?
I have a store-bought macrophylla hydrangea (which I love!) and most of the blooms have died as summer is winding down. I've read that I am supposed to deadhead the spent blooms, but I'm not sure where exactly to cut. If I cut under a pair or two of leaves below the flowering part, won't I be left with a bunch of cut stems on my plant? Will they ever grow from those stems again or should I just cut the stems completely from the bottom? But then I wouldn't be left with much of a plant at all! There are a few new stems that haven't flowered yet this year but still, that isn't much if that's all that's left. I am new to growing hydrangeas and would appreciate any help anyone has to offer. Thanks!
How to deadhead a potted hydrangea (macrophylla)?
Dead flowerheads of mophead hydrangeas can be removed after flowering, but it is better to leave them on the plant over winter as they will provide some frost protection for the rather tender growth buds below them. Instead, remove the dead flowerheads in early spring, cutting back to the first strong, healthy pair of buds lower down the stem. You will know the buds I am shore,
If there is any frost damage in spring, prune back damaged shoots to just above the first undamaged pair of buds on live, healthy wood. Also remove any weak, straggly stems.
Reply:Yes, you would be left with a bunch of stems. But this would happen to one that is planted outdoors, too. I have a florist friend who says these potted plants may not grow outside.
Once you cut the stems, keep watering like always. Make sure you fertilize every other week, and give it part sun/part shade. Don't give it hot, afternoon sun. Good luck!
Reply:You don't need to deadhead a hydrangea. You can leave the flowers on -- they look very nice when dried. I did nothing to my hydrangea last year and this year it has more blooms than ever... My hydrangea is not potted, and it's probably approx. 20 years old, but I don't think it makes a difference. Just leave the stems, flowers, etc. If you deadhead the hydrangea you will be missing 1/2 of it's charm.

Poted lemon tree blossoms but flowers and some unfolded buds crumble so I don't have desirable lemon fruits
I got this tree last September, it had some defoliation and rest of leaves were with holes, I fed it and did watering every other 5 days, then was good improvement and in March a lot of germs arrived, part of them became beautiful flowers, part crumbled unfolded. I tried pollination by soft brush bun flowers also crumbled. What can I do to have lemons?
Poted lemon tree blossoms but flowers and some unfolded buds crumble so I don't have desirable lemon fruits
From:
http://www.plantea.com/lemon-tree-indoor...
SOIL: Like most houseplants, citrus prefer a slightly acid, all-purpose mix, which you can get by using a peat-moss based growing mix. (Remember, you get what you pay for, so don't go for the cheap products.)
TEMPERATURE: Lemon trees thrive in a normal temperature range of 70 degrees during day to 55 degrees at night. TIP: Though the plants are evergreen they will go into dormancy and stop growing below 54 degrees F.)
LIGHT: Set your lemon tree in full sun from a southern exposure. Trees need lots of light. If that's not possible, supplement the light by installing 40-watt fluorescent shop lights above the plants -- especially important in the winter, when they need 12 hours of light.
MOISTURE: You'll need to keep the soil evenly moist and since most interiors are quite dry, mist your plant often -- daily if you can. Give your lemon tree a shower occasionally. (They loved to be wiped down gently with a sponge, like the one at right.)
POLLINATION: When you grow plants indoors, bees and insects can’t pollinate them. So you need to use a paintbrush or cotton swab to rub pollen within the flower. Sometimes they will produce fruit without doing this, but it's a good idea to increase your chances!
Reply:You need a male and female tree.
Had them for years. Ponderosa Lemons.

Where can i buy Datura Flowers/ Angels trumpet Flowers in the uk?
Hi, every one! I'm getting married in september. As part of the flower arangments we want some Angels trumpet flowers. Dont know where we can get them. they can be found in europe but are classed as a troppical flower.
Where can i buy Datura Flowers/ Angels trumpet Flowers in the uk?
some species can be raised from seed, (try Chiltern seeds or Ebay as sources) but if you are marrying in September then that's not enough time, so you need to buy plants ready grown. Most big garden centres stock Datura and Brugmansia (looks a lot like Datura); try Dobbies if there's one near you, or just B%26amp;Q or Homebase. Ebay might also be worth trying.
Bear in mind that Datura is one of the most toxic plants on the planet: i'm sure nobody is going to eat them but getting the sap on your skin (as when holding a bouquet) can allow the toxins to enter your system. Also, if you get the sap on your fingers then rub your eyes you may end up with pupils that are dilated for 3-5 DAYS! (this is due to the large amounts of hyoscine and atropine in datura).
Reply:Don't know where you can get a plant but I bought some seeds from Thompson and Morgan last year, planted them in the spring and they are doing really well.

Also, if you get the sap on your fingers then rub your eyes you may end up with pupils that are dilated for 3-5 DAYS! (this is due to the large amounts of hyoscine and atropine in datura).
Reply:Don't know where you can get a plant but I bought some seeds from Thompson and Morgan last year, planted them in the spring and they are doing really well.

Which high end designer has shoes with flower-shaped soles? Possibly Italian?
I bought the cutest pair of pink shoes some years ago. I can't remember the name of the designer but my memory tells me it was probably an Italian designer. I bought them from Saks, but they don't seem to carry them anymore.
The soles of the shoes at the ball of the feet were flower-shaped and cushiony. The top part of the shoe seemed to be made of vinyl/plastic. The insoles were soft (suede?) and also cushiony.
I'd appreciate any help!!!!!!!!

Moschino
They are Italian, sold at Saks and flowers are their signature. They also use a lot of vinyl.

How do the male part of a flower gets to the female part?
Through pollination. The wind, bees, and other insects carry over pollen from one flower to the other, thus pollinating it.
How do the male part of a flower gets to the female part?
have you heard off bees and butterflies. if you haven't you need to do some research
Reply:The above answer is correct; however, I think you were looking for a more detailed answer. Once the grain of pollen is in close proximity to the ova, it forms a long tube (called a pollen tube) that ultimately joins with the ova. The haploid pollen nucleus travels down the pollen tube to the ova. Voila! Fertilization.

Help,half of my tuberous beautiful flower was broken off in the wind. Can I restart the broken off part.?
NO. Tubers are just that....tuberous plants which means they sprout from the tubers that form the flower that sprouts.
Wind has been known to do damage to flowers, so unless you can find some type of way to secure them from the wind like in cages or something to support them and keep them standing, expect natures way of handeling things that are not so unexpected when gardening. Have faith, others will come up. Enjoy!

Is Campanula (bell flower) poisonous?
Everytime i let my rabbit out in the garden, he immediatly runs over to the Campanula flower and bites large parts of the stem. Is the flower safe for my rabbit to eat or is it poisonous?
Is Campanula (bell flower) poisonous?
I don't find any information that says that campanula is toxic to rabbits. Some types are used herbally by humans. Also, animals are usually pretty smart about what they should or should not eat. Here's a link to a site that you may find useful in raising your rabbit:

What Flowers have both male & female parts?
my husband (a science teacher) needs to disect flowers that have both parts but I don't know which to get!
What Flowers have both male %26amp; female parts?
Most flowers at a florist will have both parts. I have found that a lilly is a good plant for the classroom, because it has such large reproductive parts (stamens and pistil) and it's easy to dissect.
I think a good rule is to stay away from any flower that has numerous petals - often these flowers will lack the appropriate number male parts due to selection for the showy petals.
Reply:I have found that with my kids, carnations work best --they have both parts and they are cheap! Your grab the carnation at the base of the flowe (sepals) and pull apart. You can then see the ovary (female) and the pistils (male). I usually can get local florists to donate older flowers that they cannot sell. They work great for 7th grade labs.
Good luck

How can i make my flower bouquet last longer?
some leaves are drying out but for the most part it is still soft
How can i make my flower bouquet last longer?
You can make it longer by removing the deadend leaves, trimming the bottom of the stems, changing the water frequently(daily or every other day) and by adding the flower food that comes with the flowers or by adding a little sugar to the water.
Reply:Fresh water daily, recutting the stems just a bit to remove bacteria clogs....assuming they flowers are not in foam.
Floral preservatives help slow the bacteria formation...you get a few more days. Keep the flowers out of sunlight and in cooler locations.
No aspirin or copper pennies in the water, that doesn't work. A bit of Chlorox does.....tiny bit as does 7-up or Sprite.
Reply:Take daily showers LOL
Reply:Place the flowers in a clean vase. Dirty and dusty vases are often filled with bacteria. These bacteria can cause the flowers to quickly wilt and die.
Remove the leaves on the stem. If the leaves are submerged in the water in the vase, they will die and cause the flowers in the bouquet to rot.
Give the flowers the food provided by the florist. Most fresh flowers come with a small packet of fresh cut flower food. You need to place the food in the vase every three days.
Change the water often. Stale water can cause flowers to not last. Replace the water in the vase at least every three to four days.
Keep the flowers in a cool room. The fresh flowers should not be in direct sun or placed near a heating source. This causes the water in the vase to evaporate quickly.
Reply:Cut about an inch off each stem. Be sure to pull off any leaves that will be below water level. Add one packet of that flower saver stuff (free at florist shops) to the vase, then add water.
Do this every 2 or 3 days to keep them fresh longer.

I am in zone 6-- MA I am looking for perennial plants that flower from Spring till Fall?
Need plants for full to part sun. Looking for non-stop blooming perennial plants.
I am in zone 6-- MA I am looking for perennial plants that flower from Spring till Fall?
perennial plants usually flower in cycles and not all summer, most gardeners supplement their gardens with annuals to have continuos color in the summer. Some plants that will give you long blooming time are: coneflower, hollyhock,daylilies,bee balms,garden phlox,delphiniums,poppies,sweet woodruff,lupins,campanulas,lavatera,salv...
for late fall, rudbeckias,japanese anemones,asters,perennial sunflowers,sedums,snakeroot.
These are just a few that would keep your garden going through the seasons.
Reply:Roses (floribunda type) have a fairly long bloom period, as well as Coreopsis. Your best bet, if you really want to get into it, is to plant flowering plants that are staggerd. Such as, start off with (bulbs) Tulips and Daffodils. Then as early June approaches you are ready for Peonies and Poppies. Next Echinacea, Roses, Columbine take over. (This July period alot of stuff blooms.) Later insummer you can trust Lillies, Hollyhocks and Daisies. Go to www.parkseed.com. Beautiful selection, good prices and grows or replaced for free! Good luck!
Reply:There are NO perennial plants that bloom Spring till Fall.... The longest blooming plant that I know is Rubeckia...
Reply:Unfortunately, no such critter. Most perennials bloom for about one month. Some are longer. The longest blooming one I can think of is Echinacea, the purple cone flower. The bloom season is around two months. Same with Thunbergia, the black eyed susan and some other sunflower types. They all bloom from July to September. Day Lillies, the Stella D'Oro type bloom from June - September, but pretty sparsely. They are not as pretty as the other daylillies that bloom in July.
Reply:There are no plants that stay in bloom continuously for more than a few weeks at a time. You'll need to design a sequential bloom plan.
Sequential bloom is where you plant a variety of different plants, each of which bloom at different times. Look for plants that stay in bloom longer than two weeks - that will cut down on the number of plants you need.
Find plants that bloom in each month, Spring to Fall, and stagger the plantings so that you don't end up with bunches of color in one corner of your garden at any given time.
Good luck! This is one of the hardest things to learn in gardening - the big design for continuous, sequential bloom.

Roll up some newspaper or cut 12" sections of old hose, or rolled corrugated cardboard and place them at the base of your sun flowers. During the day time the earwigs will seek shelter in these items and you can collect them at dusk and dump the earwigs into a pail of soapy water. Continue to do this daily until you no longer find earwigs.

It is allegedly powdered glass that rips open the worm's underside as it crosses. Our tree has been spared every year since, except I didn't get the tree powdered in time this year and it's now barren.
Never fear. The leaves WILL return.

Flower structure and fertilisation
Flowers are the organs of sexual reproduction in plants. They have the following important structures:
sepals - protect the unopened flower bud
petals - may be brightly coloured to attract insects
stamens - the male parts of the flower consisting of the anther held up on the filament
anthers - produce male sex cells (pollen grains).
stigma - the top of the female part of the flower which
collects pollen grains
ovary - produces the female sex cells (ovules)
nectaries - produce sugary nectar which attracts insects

What is the difference in "wild" and "domesticated" types of garlic?
I have only wild garlic in my garden and the flowering parts are beautiful. Also, is wild garlic prolific?

My tomato plants were doing great...I have about 15 tomatoes on 2 plants, but now the flowers are falling off.
The flowers bloom and then shrink and then fall off, the entire last part of the stem turns yellow instead of green and falls off taking the dead flower with it. When I pull out the flower part, I can see the tiny tomato...but it never grows any bigger than the size of an earring stud. Also, it seems as though the tomatoes that I do have on the plant are taking forever to turn red and I am starting to wonder if they are ever going to ripen fully. I am dying to eat one, but they are just not turning red...I also wanted to wait to eat any fried green ones until I had a fresh red one. I am using a fish emulsion fertalizer and an aphid spray (prob with red and black aphids) and I think I have a minor fungus (leaves at the base turning yellow, but think it is due to the extra humid conditions we have had this month...should clear up when it stops raining.)

Sounds to me like you have blossom drop. It can be caused by too much fertilizer amongst other things. Stop fertilizing and killing the bugs on your plants and let nature take it's course.
As for riping tomatoes, depending on the variety, it could take a month and a half before your tomatoes are red and ripe.
Here is a little info about blossom drop:

Reply:You might be over watering it; that could be the cause of the stems turning yellow. It takes time for the fruit to develop. And it depends on what kind of tomato plant you have. If it is a cherry tomato plant the fruit is not going to get very big. And for the fungus; try using a fungicide. And keep the weeds, grass, and bottom leaves clear off the plants. You need to let the plants have plenty of air circulation %26amp; sunlight to help clear up the fungus which trives on moister and darkness.
Reply:PLEASE do not eat anything from those plants..Very possible they are diseased.,.
Reply:Sadly it could be just too wet. Blight affects tomatoes as well as potatoes, and I lost an entire - and promising - crop of tomatoes to blight a couple of years ago. I hope for your sake it isn't that.

When i feed my guinea pig dandilions should i take the flower off?
Well i know i can feed them dandilions i just don't know what part to feed them :S
When i feed my guinea pig dandilions should i take the flower off?
The roots and the leaves are ok for the animal but the flower should be taken off.
Also, FYI, a number of plants are poisonous to guinea pigs, including bracken, bryony, buttercup, charlock, deadly nightshade, foxglove, hellebore, hemlock, lily of the valley, mayweed, monkshood, privet, ragwort, rhubarb, speedwell, toadflax and wild celery.Additionally, any plant which grows from a bulb (e.g., tulip and onion) is normally considered poisonous (wikipedia.org)
Another useless factoid that you may find interesting is that all except for rhubarb are poisonous to humans as well.
If you still have doubts, please telephone the vet or a pet store. They will be more than happy to assist you with your inquiry.
Reply:why don't you look it up and find out which part if bad for them if any
Reply:I allow the pigs to eat the leaves, stem, %26amp; flower. I cut off the roots.
Make sure the dandelion has not been exposed to car fumes (side of the road), pesticides, or fertilizers.
Reply:just the leafs
Reply:No the flower is the best part for them, just make sure the dandilions havent been treated with anything, It will make them sick and they could possibly die.
Reply:em, i think.
Reply:I do the same thing with all six of my guinea pigs. Some guinea pigs will eat the flowers others won't. It's fine for them to eat them as long as weed killer hasn't been sprayed on the dandelions.

Passion Flower and it's religious connection?
I'm not sure if this is the right section to ask this, but I know that the flower, Passiflora or the Passion Flower, has a story involving a religious connection in that the parts of the flower is connected to people, saints, events, in the bible, for example, it has 10 outer leaves - 10 for the 10 commandments and each part of the flower has some connection like that. I have searched the Internet but cannot find anything about it, can anyone help. Many thanks.
Passion Flower and it's religious connection?
From Scott Cunninghams Encyclopedea of Magical Herbs:
Passion Flower
(Passiflora incarnata) G
Folk Names: Grandilla, Maracoc, Maypops, Passion Vine
Gender: Feminine
Planet: Venus
Element: water
Powers: Peace, Sleep, Friendship
Magical Uses: Contrary to its name, the passion flower is placed in the house to calm problems and troubles, and to bring peace. Carried, it attracts firends and great popularity. Placed below the pillow it aids in sleep.
Reply:According to legend, the Passion Flower's petals relate to the Apostles, the cornea to the Crown of Thorns, the five anthers to the Five Wounds and the three stigmas to the three nails.

I put a small flower bed against my neighbors house and my yard is sloped. Will it flood?
It is flush against the house in a zero lot line neighborhood. It is below the brick (almost up to the part where the concrete and brick meet, but not that high). I assume this is the foundation and was told it would be O.K., but i do not want it to seep through and flood her home. Will rain water that is in the bed (if the bed is soaked and there really isn't a lot of drainage) be able to seep into her home/walls?
I put a small flower bed against my neighbors house and my yard is sloped. Will it flood?
The addition of the flower bed, in my opinion, should not bring any more water than was there previously, unless it was all concrete before, and I doubt it would bring enough to cause flooding. Depending on the construction materials and the depth of the soil, if you have added this, there could be a bit of humidity. But that much added soil would also bring an element of insulation. You could have lined the bed with plastic and left drainage holes on the outer edges. Just my opinion and I prefer a flower bed to concrete any day. :-)

What did progressivism flower in the first two decades of th 20 century?
A bunch of things:
1: Mass communications were born. Newspapers in particular. It let the spread of ideas accelerate.
2: Leaders. The right people were in the right places. Muckrakers like Turbell and Lewis. Politicans like LaFollette and TR Roosevelt.
3: General revulsion at the Gilded Age. Sure, some folks got rich, but not on their own. They did it on the backs of others. And the others got sick of it.

Are there parts of the body that hurt when tattooed more than other parts?
I'm an old woman of 46, and just 5 days ago finally got a tatoo I've been wanting.- a chain of flowers around my ankle. The only pain that i've experienced that is similiar to this was labor pains. Seriously, Is it that i'm a wuss, or does everyone experience pain, but just get used to it. Damn I wouldn't even let him put color into the petals. OUCH!
Are there parts of the body that hurt when tattooed more than other parts?
Everyone's tolerance of pain is different. From what I've heard from others, its more painful to get a tattoo in an area of the body that does not have much body fat covering it or has lots of nerve endings.
Reply:My most painful tattoo ever is actually on the back of my right shoulder. It incorporates barbed wire into the design, and due to lack of foresight and a perceived need to 'balance' my other tattoos when getting this newer one, it ended up right over the shoulder blade. I've long known that tats over bone hurt more, but for some odd reason, it never occured to me that barbed wire would have to be gone over multiple times and would therefore hurt a hell of a lot more.
Well, suffice to say I ended up nipping on a bottle of Absolut and leaning my head on a nearby tattooed dude while my artist finished my tat. (So THAT'S why he's doing the barbed wire last! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!) He doesn't usually allow such things, but it was also the first time he'd seen a lil tear come to my eye and nearly smear my eyeliner. And he's inked me 11 times now, so he knows I'm not a bleeder.
In short, yes, some places do hurt more than others. If you have skinny ankles, that is a fairly bony area and it's going to hurt more. You also have to take into account the design, however. If it's something that will have to be gone over multiple times, (chains, barbed wire, solid pieces) you're just hitting already injured skin and of course that's going to hurt. Take an ibuprofen before you go in if it's that bad for you, and get some numbing cream to give yourself a bit of a head start, so to speak. Might make it earlier for you to finally go get that color! Psychologically if not physically.
Personally, I prefer to keep the pain. It's part of the ritual for me. It's only been that one time that I needed 'help' with the pain. The rest of my tats - no problem whatsoever. Painful? A bit. But nothing I couldn't handle fairly easily.

Of course, getting stabbed with many needles countless times is very painful. Yes.
Well, let's go over this...
tattoos hurt everyone. Everyone feels it different. it hurts some people terribly, and some people barely feel it. It depends on your pain tolerance, the artist's skill, and the location.
Most painful areas are ares over bone, thin skin, really naturally sensetive skin, mucus membrane areas, areas with lots of nerve endings, and lots of fat...
(examples...some of the most painful places are, and not limited to: Face, eyelids, fingers, toes, genital areas, tongue, inner lip, tops of feet, palms of hands, upper inner arms, chest, neck, throat, ankles, shins, over the spine,and thighs....etc)
Um, Get used to it...It dosen't last that long(unless it's big)...or find ways to get the focus off of the pain. I'd get it colored.... If you also put alot of thought into the pain, freak yourself out, worry, work yourself up....it's bound to be bad..worse...
See,
I usually meditate when I get tattooed. but my body modification is spiritually connected with me, that's how I get through it.

and---how bad do you want it? you have to finish or it is going to look really bad with no color.

Reply:The reason it hurt so bad because of the place you put it at. I personally have a tattoo on the top of my foot and that was the most pain I have ever been through, but my tattoo artist just said that that is a very sensitive spot.

What part of the flower is the seeds developed?
It's been a while since I've taken bio, but I think it's actually called an ovary or an ovum.... something along those lines. After a flower is fertilized, the seeds develop in the ovum, which starts to swell up, and the petals fall off. This is technically how we get fruit from apple and orange trees, for example.
What part of the flower is the seeds developed?
depends on the flower for example the sunflower its the centre of the flower and you get lots of black seeds.. some are in pods from the flower once it dies it really depends on the flower but usually the flower head once its died or the centre of the flower when its in bloom
Reply:usually after the flower has bloomed, the petals fall off and walla..there are the seeds...
Reply:In the ovary after pollination has occurred.
Reply:In the middle of the bud.

What part of anthophyte flower becomes the fruit?
Williamsonia is a fossil genus of Bennettitales, an extinct group of seed plants in the anthophyte clade. The plants looked a bit like a cycad, with slender trunks up to two meters tall topped with a crown of leaves.
The genus is used for fossil cones containing ovules, from which seeds would have later developed. The cones are round and include up to 50 seeds packed in among the cone scales.

Mine is browning and dying. All the "flower" parts have wilted and died.

Reply:Peace lilies don't flower continually. They will develop flowers which last for a couple of months, then go for many months before they develop more flowers.
I suggest that you remove the dead flowers, cut out the dead leaves, re-pot in a larger pot with some fresh potting soil, keep it watered but not soaked, keep it on a light but not brightly sunny window sill, and be patient while you wait for new flowers.
Reply:I have one that was given to me nearly three years ago. I've kept it in my bathroom, which has one small window, the entire time. I give the plant a shower once or twice a week, when the soil is dry. Mine isn't even under the window. It's in the opposite corner of the bathroom. I repot it annually in a slightly larger pot with fresh soil. These plants do not flower continuously, as stated above. The plant should never be put in direct sunlight. That's why you see lots of these in interior landscaping, such as shopping malls with skylighting, etc. They don't like or need much light. Cut off all the dead stuff, put it in a new pot, with new soil and keep it indoors.

How to prepare soil for gardening shrubs in a flower bed?
I recently purchased some organic compost not realizing that it was inorganic compost that I really wanted. So when I got home I mixed the organic compost I had just purchased with the inorganic compost i had layed out a week before. So my question was, what will happen when these two types of compost are mixed? Is my soil ruined because of this careless mistake or can I still salvage my soil? The reason I started with the inorganic compost was because I live in the Southwestern part of Texas where the soil is clay like and I was advised to use the inorganic type to soften the soil. Any suggestions out there or any similar issues any one has encountered?
How to prepare soil for gardening shrubs in a flower bed?
Any type of soil can be improved with the addition of organic matter, unless you are one of the few who have perfect soil. The organic will rot and add water retaining humus to your soil, the inorganic will not rot and serve to help aerate. If you have clay soil, you NEED to add organic matter, period. Sand also helps as a cheap inorganic. One question.....compost is rotting ORGANIC material. I have never heard of inorganic COMPOST.
Reply:This won't harm your soil, though it wouldn't allow it to be certified as organic, if you were a farmer/grower etc.
As time continues, the organic matter will continue to improve your soil still further, and you can add more as a mulch. It really pays to improve the soil as much as you can before planting, as once planted, you will have limited opportunity to really get below root level again! You'll need the help of worms to do that:though they'll love organic matter added to the soil surface, and take it downwards.
Dig and prepare the holes as well as you can - add bone-meal if possible, another organic fertilizer, before planting.
Reply:i don't think the mixing of compost will do harm. but a tip for compost is dig up the soil first. douse it with water. put a thick layer of dried grass clippings on top of the dug up patch. water that to. put dead leaves on top of that. put things that are organic from there on out. (bad fruit, melon skin, orange rine, etc.) and make sure to cover it with a fresh layer of dried leaves from then one. leave it for a few weeks. your soil show be warm moist, nutritious, and good for plants by the end. I did this and I also live in texas.. and it was during the winter too :D.
Reply:I've never heard about using inorganic over organic. I do know that if you are planting a shrub or tree the roots are bound to go deep and encounter your natural soil anyway. I suggest that when you dig the hole for your shrubs that you mix the better soil with your natural soil about half and half so that the roots will be more inclined to grow out into the soil instead of trying to stay within the better soil and becoming sort of root bound making the plant weak. be sure to dig the hole twice as big as the rootball. As for flowers-If you feel that the soil is still to hard try adding a little sand to it or leaves from your yard that have turned brown-try mulching the leaves down with a lawnmower first to make the pieces smaller.Something else you might try adding to your soil is cotton bur compost-you can also use this as a mulch-it will help the soil by also adding nutrients as it breaks down further.

The organic will rot and add water retaining humus to your soil, the inorganic will not rot and serve to help aerate. If you have clay soil, you NEED to add organic matter, period. Sand also helps as a cheap inorganic. One question.....compost is rotting ORGANIC material. I have never heard of inorganic COMPOST.
Reply:This won't harm your soil, though it wouldn't allow it to be certified as organic, if you were a farmer/grower etc.
As time continues, the organic matter will continue to improve your soil still further, and you can add more as a mulch. It really pays to improve the soil as much as you can before planting, as once planted, you will have limited opportunity to really get below root level again! You'll need the help of worms to do that:though they'll love organic matter added to the soil surface, and take it downwards.
Dig and prepare the holes as well as you can - add bone-meal if possible, another organic fertilizer, before planting.
Reply:i don't think the mixing of compost will do harm. but a tip for compost is dig up the soil first. douse it with water. put a thick layer of dried grass clippings on top of the dug up patch. water that to. put dead leaves on top of that. put things that are organic from there on out. (bad fruit, melon skin, orange rine, etc.) and make sure to cover it with a fresh layer of dried leaves from then one. leave it for a few weeks. your soil show be warm moist, nutritious, and good for plants by the end. I did this and I also live in texas.. and it was during the winter too :D.
Reply:I've never heard about using inorganic over organic. I do know that if you are planting a shrub or tree the roots are bound to go deep and encounter your natural soil anyway. I suggest that when you dig the hole for your shrubs that you mix the better soil with your natural soil about half and half so that the roots will be more inclined to grow out into the soil instead of trying to stay within the better soil and becoming sort of root bound making the plant weak. be sure to dig the hole twice as big as the rootball. As for flowers-If you feel that the soil is still to hard try adding a little sand to it or leaves from your yard that have turned brown-try mulching the leaves down with a lawnmower first to make the pieces smaller.Something else you might try adding to your soil is cotton bur compost-you can also use this as a mulch-it will help the soil by also adding nutrients as it breaks down further.
How can I re-plant an olive tree branch in a flower pot?
Do I have to select a special part of the branch, shoot etc? How long should it take to grow roots?
How can I re-plant an olive tree branch in a flower pot?
It sounds like from your question you want to root a shoot and grow it indoors. To do this you need to cut off a few shoots that are first year growth with as little wood as possible. Take about 5 or 6 shoots just to make sure you get one that works.
Next get some rooting hormone (dust or gel will work) as long as it's the correct strength. I would recommend .08 active ingredient. Generic RooTone is .02 and wouldn't be strong enough. Your better Lawn and Garden Centers should have a variety of strengths. Too weak and it won't root--too strong and the end will callus (like plant scar tissue) instead of root.
Dip the bottom 1/2" into the gel or dust (if it's dust, snap the shoot with your finger to knock off excess dust) and then put it into individual pots filled with vermiculite or seeding mix. These two (especially vermiculite) are sterile to reduce your chance of disease.
Mist the leaves 2-4 times a day. The only way the plant can get water is through the leaves because it has no roots. The growth medium should be kept moist but not soggy. After a few weeks pull one out and see if it has any roots starting to form. Keep doing this until you see roots.
Once you have a good start to a root system start to put more water in the pot and mist the leaves less. You have to "teach" the roots to take up water. Once you are to the point where you're not misting the leaves and the roots are doing the job you can use a liquid fert like miraclegrow at half strength. Don't use it full strength until you are ready to repot it in actual potting soil. That's it. A lot of work but there are no shortcuts except to go buy one.
Reply:I've never tried to plant cuttings from an olive tree, but generally it is pretty simple. Just cut a small (about 2ft) branch that is healthy and stick it in your pot. Like any other plant, make sure to water it regularly, keep it at the proper temperature, give it plenty of sunlight, and fertilize it, with either a pellet type fertilizer or liquid plantfood such as miracle grow. It usually takes a while for it to establish a root system, probably about 1 or 2 months. During this time it does not grow much, because it uses all its energy making roots. Once it does this, it should start producing leaves and more woody growth.

What's the center part of a flower?
What is the name for it... like on a daisy, the circular yellow thingy.
What's the center part of a flower?
I would say the female parts. the pistal. Daisys yellow center is little flowers comprised into one. Its a compound flower
Reply:Actually, a daisy is a compound flower (family Asteraceae). Each petal around the center is a separate "ray" bloom and each of the little parts that make the center of the flower head is a "disc" bloom.
The pistil and the stamen (that the earlier answer references) are the female and male (respectively) reproductive organs, and in compound flowers, each bloom has one of each.
It is thought that compound flowers evolved (and of course, you have to believe in evolution to buy this - which I do) to give the insects that pollinate the flowers a place to land while transferring the pollen to them. It's fascinating! The aster family is the second largest known plant family on earth behind orchids.

Last year I created a narrow flower bed. The soil is poor and shallow.?
Before the winter set in I covered it in horse manure which is not rotting down very well although I've tried to encourage birds into that part of the garden. Two questions: should I boost it with some compost and if so, what sort. I'll need to buy it in. Secondly, what should I grow on it until I decide what I finally want to put there. It's by a fence so I thought sweet peas might look nice.
Last year I created a narrow flower bed. The soil is poor and shallow.?
A good flower bed needs to be at least 1m (preferably as wide as possible) so that you can really improve conditions underground. A narrow bed of cultivated soil could create a 'channel' through which rainwater can flow and nutrients are washed away. Try to make the bed as wide as possible, turn in the horse manure as deep as possible (at least a spit) - the manure may be too fresh? It should be dark and crumbly and non-smelly if it's rotted down enough - either way the digging in will help. Throw in some chicken manure pellets or blood, fish and bone mix and as you turn the soil over assess what you have - clay, loam, sand? pan? any worms? and read-up or google what you find to research the best way to manage each soil type. Test the soil if you can and find out the PH so you can plant accordingly. Good luck with your bed - Seet Peas sound lovely! :-)
Reply:Compost certainly couldn't hurt. Here, I can buy composted very old cow manure for the price of topsoil. If you have a truck.....its pretty cheap. Sweet peas are great...but they poop out in the heat of the summer. For a perennial vine, try clematis. Other annual vines that will flower all summer are morning glory and thunbergia. Think about planting perennials in front of the vines. Without knowing where you live..it's tough to give advice. Think about Russian Sage, Shasta Daisy, Coreopsis, Monarda, Nepita, Rudbeckia (all bloom all summer).
Reply:You may not have to add more organic material because the manure should enrich the soil enough. If you want, add these:
- Spent mushroom compost (if you have a mushroom grower nearby they'll probably give it away for free)
- Bought compost
- Sand (sharp or fine) IF you have clay soil with poor drainage
- Lime IF you have an acidic soil pH
I would dig in your manure with your existing soil. Dig down about the depth of your shovel/spade head. At that time, dig in your compost and other additives too. Often people use a single dig system of digging out a trench and then filling that trench with the soil next to it to create another trench. The last trench gets filled with the first soil you dug out. Oh, and take a garden fork (big one) and poke the bottom of each trench to improve your drainage.
If you use a rotavator or rotatiller go over your bed once. If you go over your bed with a machine there is a danger you'll over till and loose your good soil/crumb structure. If you hand dig this isn't a danger.
Dig out your perennial weeds. Hoe off your annual weeds. If you have to, use gypsophate (Round Up) but wait a few weeks to plant to let the herbicide dissipate.
Sweet peas are excellent because they are a legume which has a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. They can grab nitrogen from the air and lock it into their roots. After they die they dig them in and you've just enriched the soil with nitrogen. They're brilliant and if you want, you could put out bamboo canes and grow them in the rest of your bed. I've seen them grown straight up canes or up tepees of canes. If you do that next season you'll have gorgeous soil.
Reply:You might get all vine and few bloom this year, but sweet peas are one of my favorites. Oh, there is a perennial form out there with no fragrance so check your specs, if it has a fragrance the seedsman will mention it in the description, also sweet peas like a fairly early sowing say 1 April in zone 5.
Reply:Day lilies make a nice border planting and the greenery still looks good after the flowers quit.
Reply:Don't use a LOT of manure. The PH in the soil should have a high amount of acid if your growing vegetables, but to much will burn your plants. You don't want to burn your plants. Get some topsoil and mixed in the horse manure.
Reply:you need to work the manure into the soil not just leave on top. i would put some brick/rock to border in front to hold more soil. then put in good top soil, humus. bassically just about any flower you like should grow.

How or where can I identify a unique flowered plant that was found growing wild in woods behind my home?
Has 2 big oval shaped green leaves at bottom of plant. A green stem approx.10-12" comes up out of this. At top of stem is the unusal looking pink flower. It droops down, kinda like a foxglove or lenden rose grows.Has 1-2 very small green leaves at its base. Flower part is shaped sorta like a cornucopia with a small opening buried right in its center. It is pink, with deeper pink, or even purplish distinct viens within the petal. Appears to be only made up of 1 petal that is folded in on itself. There are about 10-12 growing all in same area of deep woods. Some appear to be growing in a line of about 4-5. One other detail about the flower area; In between the actual flower and small green leaves' on both sides tucked up in there, appears to be a white berry, reminds me of a miseltoe berry. Can't locate anyone or any source who can definately tell me what this is. I have not ever seen a flower like this before, it is very different looking. I want to try and transplant a few to my yard.

Which part of the hibiscus flower is the seed?
As the flowers die, do not cut them off. The seed is at the base of each flower. The flower will fall off the stem and you will see a small green ball. These will grow bigger and turn black/brown with the seeds inside. At this point, the seeds have dried. You can now cut off the pods with the seeds inside.
(Be sure to soak them a couple of days before planting.)
During the seed making time, be sure to keep you hibiscus watered. It still needs plenty of water.
Which part of the hibiscus flower is the seed?
On hibiscus you are better off doing "hard cuttings" ...I lived in the Florida Keys 6 years and turned one hibiscus tree into 12..simply cut at an angle some of the fresher greener looking new growth on them, stalks about 8 to 10 inches long, dip them in "root stimulator" available at any garden center, wal mart, home depot etc.....Then plant them in the soil..straight to where you want to plant them...they will grow..pull the leaves off except top 2 or 3 sets on these cuttings....You can do a Water propogation as well if you like..heres a link on it

Can you plant a flower from a bouquet and cause more to grow?
I know it sounds stupid, but i was wondering if you planted roses, like just the bottow part where the stem is, more would grow. I am sure the answer is no, but hoping it is yes.
Can you plant a flower from a bouquet and cause more to grow?
It is not easy to do and it depends on a lot of factors. When you get roses in a bouquet they are normally cut too short to root. You need a stem with leaves on it, at least.
Rooting hardwood cuttings (which is what you are trying to do) needs practice and time. You will need rooting compound, peat, a pot, and a plastic bag. See the instructions on this web site.
Reply:You might root it but you will have to cut the flower off and put the stem into a jar of water. Put some foil over the top and suspend the stem in the foil if possible to keep the stem off of the bottom of the jar to allow the stem to grow. This would take some time but it very well could work. I don't take it that you have a woody stem but rooting it may be more effective in a pot of often-watered sand.
Reply:You can try a product called Root Tone; it is used to help enable a clipping to grow roots. Also, there is a product called Take Root, they both have the same purpose, and it appears that Rose growers have successfully used them.
Search for those products and you can get more specific info, or go to a local nursery and ask about them.
Reply:no. actually for some yes. it is not stupid becuase flowers such as hibiscus will grow back. as long as the hibiscus has a woody stem all you need to do it put it in water and wait for it to root.
Reply:nope

Reply:foot tattoos are great! i have one foot completely tattooed (not my toes or the bottom of the foot though).... make sure you take REALLY good care of it in healing-- because they get a lot of friction from socks and shoes, and the kind of skin on your feet, they often age pretty badly. Make sure you keep it moisturized and put sunscreen on it anytime you were sandals and it will hold up ok! Enjoy it!

Why do hotels always use white towels
Why do you need our opinon anyway. Tattoos are a personal thing and should be done because you want them. Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one.
Enjoy your new tattoo.
What do you think about a flower or starish design on the top of my foot on the low part?
That sounds real cute! Let me just warn you, foot tattoos hurt a lot, I have one on each foot, and they were really painful!
Reply:that'd be cute maybe cherry blossoms with whatever color flower.

Reply:foot tattoos are great! i have one foot completely tattooed (not my toes or the bottom of the foot though).... make sure you take REALLY good care of it in healing-- because they get a lot of friction from socks and shoes, and the kind of skin on your feet, they often age pretty badly. Make sure you keep it moisturized and put sunscreen on it anytime you were sandals and it will hold up ok! Enjoy it!
Reply:Get whatever you like not what everyone else likes....c'mon your smarter than that
Reply:Depending on the design of the flower or star.
Reply:I think either one would look cool , go for it !
Reply:very cute...if i ever got a tattoo it would be on my foot
Reply:I like tattoos by the ankle a lot... if its something small like a flower or star thats kool... (tribal star or sun!)

In what part of a dicots flower are seeds produced?
thanks in advance
In what part of a dicots flower are seeds produced?
Seeds develop from fertilized ovules, which are housed inside the carpel.
Reply:Ovules.
Reply:The ovary. Seeds always develop from ovules inside the ovary. Different fruits often have different parts that you will eat (mesocarp, receptacle, etc.), but the seeds are made in the ovaries.

Not free, but Adobe Photoshop Elements is a good inexpensive one for you to try.
This effect is called selective color.

Which part of a flower does the pollen stick to?
Pollen is formed in the stamen. When the pollen is transported via the wind or an animal, the pollen that lands on the pistil of a flower will grow a pollen tube down the pistil.
Which part of a flower does the pollen stick to?
Stamen.
Reply:The sticky stigma.
Reply:the pistil is tubular=the stigma at top is where the pollen sticks,the style is the tube,and the ovary contains the ovules

Peace lily creates green flowers?
What am I doing wrong that the white flower parts of my peace lily turn green? Do I need to re-pot the plant and change the soil?
Peace lily creates green flowers?
It is very normal for a peace lily flower to eventually turn green. A seed pod forms during this process. It has nothing to do with too much light or too little light. Hydrangea flowers can do the same thing.
When the flowers turn green on a peace lily, they should be cut off to promote new flower bud growth.
Reply:What is happening with the Peace Lily is it is getting too much light. All parts of plants will produce chlorophyll for photosynthesis if the light hits it. This is what happens to potatoes if they grow too close to the surface and the light hits them. They start turning green. If cauliflower wasn't blanched the head would be green instead of white. Keep it out of the sun when it flowers and you should be all set

What are some good websites for silk floral supplies?
I want to make my own silk (artificial) flowers for hair clips. What are some good websites? Pre-made flowers are ok, but I'm looking for petals, leaves and other flower parts too. I am especially looking for black flower parts. I have tried search engines already, but have not found what I am looking for yet, I was hoping someone might know of some great obscure craft/floral websites.

Can grey water be used from (a) a dishwasher (b) a washing machine- on to veggie/flower garden.Is it safe?
I have 2 seperate pipes so I can re direct to diff parts of the garden-
Can grey water be used from (a) a dishwasher (b) a washing machine- on to veggie/flower garden.Is it safe?
Sheeze. I'm hesitating to answer this because you've already got answers all over the board. I spent 20 years in innovative on-site wastewater management design. Attended the American Society of Agricultural Engineers On-Site Wastewater Management Annual Conferences five of those years, and so on and so on and so on.
I'll waste the time typing this and tell you the water coming off the kitchen sink and dishwasher are nearer blackwater in their biological loading, than grey water. Put that into the sewer line or septic system.
The tub/shower and bathroom sink are legitimate grey water and worth using, though it's helpful to float off the soap in a grease trap before allowing it to run out wherever you plan to use it.
Reply:it is perfectly safe - I've done it before - the neat thing is any soap you use (which should be biodegradable) wards off pests...and the proteins from disjes and laundry help feed the soil. I would be careful to not launder any clothling soiled with oils or paints.
Reply:The detergents in the water will harm your plants. Set up a rain barrel for extra water for your gardens.
Reply:It is not recommended. Here's why; soap can raise the pH of the soil and increase salts, regardless of the type of soap. Vegetables to not do well in high salt soils or high pH soils, if at all, same with some flowers and trees.
In some states and or counties it is illegal to use your grey water. Do check with your city/county health department to find out if you can even use grey water first.
Reply:It seems safe enough, have a read through this though:
http://www.awa.asn.au/Content/Navigation...
Reply:For the most part, yes, provided you are not using chlorine bleach or a non-environmentally friendly soap. I use my gray washer water, and I use Oxy instead of bleach (much better for whitening, removing stains, and the environment) and enzyme cleaning tablets (no soap whatsoever). And, of course, assuming you are not washing clothes that have toxins on them (like work clothes might). A little soap isn't going to hurt, but too much can add toxins, hurt natural bacteria action in the soil, deposit nasty stuff in the soil, or damage the roots' ability to absorb water and nutrients. I have yet to find an EF soap for the dishwasher that actually does a good job, but if you want to set up a filtering system of a few layers of fiberfill and charcoal fiber or charcoal granules (similar to what's in a fish tank filter) this will do wonders for "cleaning" your cleaning water.
One thing to bear in mind, for optimum health, growth, and nutrint absorption, your plant should be watered in the morning before 10 AM (plants absorb water and nutrients during the day, grow at night), so you might want to think about a filtered holding tank.
Check first with your local Dept. of Environmental Protection, or Town Hall...some places do not allow you to drain gray water above ground (I know a couple of folks in Australia who were fined for doing it), and folks in the watershed areas around here aren't allowed to do it.
Reply:It doesn't seem logical that the harsh chemicals used in detergents combined with food residue and bacteria are healthful to plants.
Maybe you could try it on one specific plant for a period of time and observe the long-term effects...

The ones I have looked at are about 6' tall and that is good. However, I keep finding Hybiscus and they will not survive the winter. Can anyone tell me a type, or even a website that I can check out to find out anything that I can use?
