Pooja Lapasia asked:
Gifting flowers is like gifting a part of the beautiful nature. Flowers are the most feasible option to gift anyone. They suit any kind of occasion be it a wedding, birthday, anniversary or even a funeral. You can let the flowers speak for you and give out the messages you intend to give. Each flower is symbolic and you can attach lot of meanings to it. Choosing a good flower delivery service is very important as you can avail host of offerings and make you gift unique.
Flowers are seasonal like the ones found in summers. This is the time when weddings take place and you can gift them the bright seasonal flowers. The wild flowers grow at particular time of the year and are also found in certain places. Each flower has a particular emotion attached to it. You can build up your own set of emotions and can send them across.
Popular flowers like roses and lilies are widely favored and are always in vogue. Gifting bright sunflowers is also great for cheering up someone. You can attach your own meaning to a flower. If you send across a personalized note with the bunch of flowers it will mean a lot to the person.
The limited longevity of the flowers is a problem, except for few flowers like orchid which have an extensive shelf life. Even care should be taken while handling the flowers. You should take care that no damage is done to the flowers or the bouquet. Flowers cannot be hoarded well before an occasion thus limiting the convenience of carrying and storing them.

Hello. I have sandy soil, live in Michigan, zone 5. The area I want flowers in is about 6×10. The area gets full sun all day and most sun after 2pm. House faces west, the flowers are to be in the front of the house. What flowers are really easy to start with, and what combinations should I use. Any really good websites anyone knows of could help too.

Buy A Flowering Tree For Fall Planting
Filed Under Gardening | Leave a Comment
Patrick Malcolm asked:
A flowering tree is best planted for spring blooming in the fall when dormant, however, container flowering trees can be planted any season, but preferably fall and winter is best. Gardeners can buy many colors of flowering trees: red, white, yellow, peach, pink, plum, lavender, blue, and apricot. You can buy a flowering tree that can bloom during any season: fall flowering, winter flowering, and spring flowering when most trees bloom, and then, summer flowering. The weather is a determining factor in tree flowering; some trees require chilling, yet other flowering trees require hot, humid temperatures. The flowering dogwood tree, Cornus florida, blooms in Florida in March, but it can flower in Tennessee in April, largely because of the temperature differences. A flowering apricot tree, Prunus mume, can bloom in Georgia in January, but in Illinois, the flowering is delayed until April or May, depending on the large temperature difference. Flowering cherry trees bloom in red, pink, and white colors, and some varieties bloom over a period of one to two months.
Flowering crape myrtle (crepe myrtle) trees have been hybridized to flower in spectacular colors of red, pink, white, lavender, and purple during the summer and fall. Some crape myrtle flowering trees will rebloom and others flower over a period of 90 days.
Flowering crabapple trees bloom mainly in the spring in flower colors of white, red, peach, plum, and apricot. Not only are the large blooms fragrant on the flowering crabapple tree, but plum red fruit grows for wildlife during the fall. The fruit of the flowering crabapple tree can be made into crabapple jam or crabapple jelly.
Flowering cherry trees are native (Prunus caroliniana) to the U.S., and the beautiful Japanese Kwanzan and Yoshino, flowering cherry, hybrid trees blossom in Washington, D.C. During the Spring as an exciting American National Treasure. Civic pageants are held to celebrate Spring festivals at the Nation’s Capitol, Washington, D.C. at Macon, Ga., and other cities and are scheduled to begin with the blossoming of the Japanese, flowering cherry tree. Grafted flowering, crabapple trees bloom with fully red, white or pink flowers very early in the Spring. Flowering dogwood trees bloom to announce the arrival of spring in colors of red, white or pink. Flowering plum trees are fragrant and white in native or grafted forms, developed as Japanese hybrid cultivars.
Flowering pear trees are fully covered with white, one-inch flowers as grafted hybrids developed by scientists to grow in Northern and Southern gardens. Fall and Winter flowering trees, such as camellia, cassia and apricot, bloom in seasons where color and fragrance are rare. Flowering peach trees are available to buy in colors of red, white, pink and peppermint.
