My theme is Chocolate, my colors so far are a dark espresso brown, Ivory, and Tan. Like the colors of chocolate. I’m having a hard time finding flowers to go with my theme. I was hoping to find a dark brown accent flower, with maybe some ivory calililys, or even hydrangia. Since I’m having such a hard time, I’ve been thiking of adding a little bit of color to the whole scheme, but that would totally defeat the whole chocolate idea, unless I did like a minty green or a sage. I’m completely stuck. Any ideas?

I’m interested in breeding flowers and plants and making hybrids and was just wondering what species of plants and flowers are good for this kind of hobby.

I’m looking for plants and flowers that have male and female and have varied colors, shapes and sizes etc. I want to grow many different ones and mix them and pick and chose the qualitys for the next generations.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

I want to decorate my home with real flowers that are able to be maintained indoors and will grow year round. Because we live in an apartment, I am not able to go outside and play with soil and such, but I really would like to get some flowers that I can keep indoors, grow, and maintain.

I know when it’s hotter out you need to water your plants and flowers more often, and I’ve heard that you shouldn’t water your flowers everyday, unless it’s hot out. But, my question is, how much water should I give my flowers. I have a variety of flowers in pots. I’ve heard you should water them until it starts to drip out from the bottom, is that true? Can you over water flowers?

I have a flower bed up against the back of my house and which is completely covered by the overhead deck. I want to plant some plants there, but don’t know which flowers grow best in very shaded areas? Also there is a large rabbit population in my neighborhood and would like to plant flowers that the rabbits wouldn’t be so eager to eat.

Thank you in advance.
If cat hair works, would dog hair do????

Itsmyopinion – haha what a smart@$$ remark – I like it, sounds like something I would say. ;-)
Wow!!!
Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming.

Dars3 asked:


I had them last year in my garden and I can’t remember what those flowers are called. I’ve also seen them with orange petals and purple centers. They kind of look like shasta daisies. The one thing I know for sure is that it’s not a cone flower.
they aren’t gerberas, cause they don’t come like that

I am beginning to make flower arrangements and need a safe way to store the flowers that aren’t yet in arrangements so they won’t get crushed. Some flowers will snap back but some won’t, I don’t want to find out if mine will or not as some of them are a little expensive. I currently have them loosley stored in stacked boxes inside a small walk-in closet. I would like a way I can store them upright where I can see them and not have them all smushed together. Thanks!
