Is it weird to give a girl flowers you don't know well, but like, for Valentine's?

I want to give this girl flowers for Valentine%26#039;s day, but we never really talked, and don%26#039;t know each other well. We have seen each other in class, though, just don%26#039;t know if she%26#039;ll know who I am. Would this be weird or seem stalker-like?

Go right ahead. I think thats really sweet! Good luck!
Reply:No, i think that would be telling her you are interested its valetines day! lifes all about taking risks you dont live forever!! trust me..by the way i am a girl.
Reply:give her a rose and ask her out.. dont just send them to her mysteriously. and dont just leave them at her locker or something. You need to go and hand them to her, and say %26quot;hey would like you to get something to eat something?%26quot;
Reply:I think it would be a kind %26amp; flattering gesture as long as she hasn%26#039;t given you any impression prior that she would feel you were being intrusive or disrespecting her wishesI (i.e. if she%26#039;s mentioned she is involved w/ someone else or has made it clear she%26#039;s not interested). Don%26#039;t give her red roses though. Red roses represent love(for more of a serious type relationship,however tulips, carnations,lily%26#039;s any of those would be fine. Even a nice blend of a varity of fowers w/ different colors would be appropriate. Go for it.
Reply:awww!


i think that is cute go 4 it
Reply:Since you don%26#039;t know her very well it IS very freaky. If it was a close friend or GF it wouldn%26#039;t be weird though.
Reply:No way. This would be a GREAT way to let her know that you are interested in a super cute way that would catch her eye...but try to talk to her before v-day and introduce yourself or when the card for the flowers say from ___, she will be like, who the heck is that? Good luck!

Why do plants and flowers grown next to a well-head die so easily?

My friend%26#039;s yard supports plants and flowers very well. However, when planted near the well-head they die off like nothing.

Why do plants and flowers grown next to a well-head die so easily?
Probably because of the residues that are leached into the soil by the metals/coatings/oils on the metal casing. There is probably a reaction between the casing and the water and other minerals/acids in the soil that are not healthy for the plants.
Reply:If the well was recently drilled there is probably a high concentration of rock dust flushed out during the process. This would lack humus and a blend of soluble stuff found in the nearby soil.


the condition should improve over time or could be improved with a few bags of topsoil from the garden shop.





If you are talking about an oil well and not a water well, there could be a temperature problem as well as contamination. The temperature of the material from deep down is quite a bit warmer than the soil at the surface. The temperature of the soil near the well may just be too hot. The heat would also cause drying of the soil.
Reply:Even if there%26#039;s no leaching, the soil over the casing might not be deep enough to support a root system


.
Reply:not enough room for roots
Reply:If the well head has any copper material in it, it will kill everything that touches it. Also, you probably have a high concentration of heavy metal that is adverse for plant health.





You can solve this problem by putting a physical barrier between the well, to about a depth of 12-18 inches or so, and try planting again....

Reply:change it to another language with different symbols maybe
Reply:I want to know the answer as well.
Reply:OK, I think I understand what you%26#039;re asking.





The font you are using looks to be Arial. So you are getting hearts from opening character map (Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map) and copying the heart symbol, or copying it from another place.





Arial doesn%26#039;t have flowers. And even if you bought a font made up of flowers, your friends might not have that font, so it would look like garbage when sent to them.





Wingdings2 has a few characters that look a little like flowers. That;s about the best you can do.

What types of flowers do well in the shade?

I would like to plant some down my walk way outside... unfortunately, the sun only shines in that area for a short time during the day. Can you tell me some flowers that can still grow well in that area?

What types of flowers do well in the shade?
I%26#039;m in CNY, too(Oswego Co.). For small annual flowers that do fine in the shade I grow impatiens for constant color. They become really full in our summers here and They reseed really well and fill in why perennials are between bloom. I also mix in small dahlias, but they do better with more light.





For perennials I have hosta, toadlilies, Chinese lantern, lily of the valley, Arum Italicum, Jack-in-the-pulpit, Naked lady lily, several types of ferns, lady%26#039;s mantle, primroses, Solomon%26#039;s seal and a few others. These all do good in our climate and in the shade, but they don%26#039;t supply constant color and some tend to be a bit large so might not be what you are looking for.





Depending on what you are looking for you could do a mix of annuals and perennials. When winter finally gives up you can find tons of them at the Regional Market in Syracuse, or at a number of local nurseries. I love Hafner%26#039;s Greenhouses in Liverpool for their huge variety, good plants, and reasonable prices.
Reply:Hardy perennial flowers that do well in part shade to shade include:





Actaea spp. (Bugbane)


Alchemilla mollis (Lady’s Mantle)


Astilbe


Aquilegia (Columbine)


Begonia grandis (Hardy Begonia)


Bergenia (Pigsqueak)


Brunnera (Bugloss)


Dicentra (Bleeding Heart)


Epimedium (Bishop%26#039;s Hat)


Helleborus (Hellebore)


Hosta


Iris cristata (Crested Iris)


Lamium maculatum (Spotted Deadnettle)


Phlox divaricata (Woodland Phlox)


Primula (Primrose)


Pulmonaria (Leadwort)


Tiarella (Foam Flower)


Tricyrtis (Toad Lily)


Viola (Violet)


Annual flowers that do well in part shade to shade and bloom all summer include:





Impatiens


Begonia -- including tuberous, angel wing and fibrous rooted begonias


Nicotiana (Flowering Tobacco)


Torenia (Wishbone Flower)


Viola





(Take a look at these flowers and check thier water and soil needs to make sure the ones you choose match the area you are putting them in and your schedule too (alot of care,little care,drought tolerant and when and how long they bloom)
Reply:You are lucky, because there are many annuals that love your summer climate! See the link for the complete shade list with details about each:
Reply:The easiest and showiest are impatiens. They are annuals and come in loads of colors and hate the sun and spread beautifully. There are some spring perennials that do nicely in the shade too like astilbe and bleeding heart. If you want greenery, aloe plants, any kind of hostas and ferns are great.
Reply:Impatiens do very well in the shade and there are a variety of colors you can choose from. You don%26#039;t say what your climate is like, but if it%26#039;s dry or hot, they do have to be watered daily.
Reply:The best plants for the more heavily shaded areas to partially shaded are those found in the woods in their native habitat, such as evergreen groundcovers like Japanese spurge (Pachysandra terminalis) and Periwinkle, %26amp; other groundcovers such as wild Violets, bluebells, Lilies of the Valley, %26amp; Wild Ginger.

Variegated Solomon%26#039;s seal, Polygonatum odoratum %26#039;Variegatum%26#039; has foliage with an airbrushed variegation that is irresistible. It looks nice among densely textured Hostas and multistained Coral Bells (Heuchera), and their stature gives weight to finely dissected Bleeding Hearts (Dicentras) and ground-hugging Asarums. But the early spring flowers are far from subtle, particularly massed, when hundred of creamy bells march two by two along the leaves.

The Snowflake (Leucojum aestivum) %26#039;Gravetye Giant%26#039; is tolerant of moist soils and often referred to as %26quot;moisture loving,%26quot; but will grow in any type of soil, wet or dry, sand or clay, acid or alkaline. It will thrive in most light conditions %26amp; are commonly grown in dense shade as well.

%26quot;Partial shade%26quot; areas that receive three to six hours of sun a day gives you more options like: Meadow anemone (Anemone canadensis), Obedient plant (Physostegia virginiana), Goat%26#039;s beard (Aruncus dioicus), Astilbe (Astilbe sp.), Bergenia (Berginia cordifolia), Black Snakeroot (Cimifuga racemosa), Fringed bleeding heart (Dicentra eximia), Foxglove (Digitalis sp.), Leopard%26#039;s bane (Doronicum sp.), Hardy geranium (Geranium sp.), and Siberian iris (Iris sibirica).

You can%26#039;t go wrong with %26#039;King of Hearts%26#039; Bleeding Heart which blooms from late spring into fall. It will not go dormant in midsummer(like some other types) as long as the soil is kept moist. It looks great next to Hostas:

Good luck! Hope this helps.
Reply:Begonias
Reply:Orchids! -The Dendrobium emma white and Phalaenopsis cool breeze are good choices.





Contrary to popular belief that these plants need %26quot;full sun%26quot;, they actually do not; providing adequate humidity and diffused light for a minumum of 10 hours is key to success.


Another plus- flowers that lasts for weeks!





Another plant to consider would be the Clerodendrum (Bleeding heart vine) which needs a brightly lit spot away from direct sunlight.





Happy gardening!

What kind of flowers grow well in Arkansas???

Hi, I am doing a Girl Scout Silver Award Project and I am planting a garden for our Girl Scout Hut. I need to know what flowers grow well in Arkansas so I can make sure they live. So please help me if you can. Anything will help. Thank You!

What kind of flowers grow well in Arkansas???
This is going to sound like cheating but it%26#039;s true. I live in Arkansas and plant numerous annuals and perrenials each year. The only thing I%26#039;ve had problems with are those things not tolerant of the amount of heat they%26#039;ll get here. (Tulips are very hard as are the delicate flowers because of the heavy storms we get. They%26#039;ll break or get pummelled by heavy rain or winds. ) We%26#039;re in the SW part so we are in a drought. The mountainous areas will get more rain. To pick flowers for your area, just go to a local nursery or wal-mart. They%26#039;ll sell things indigenous to the area that will thrive.
Reply:Just about all flowers grow well here.


Good Luck

I don%26#039;t know what flowers grow well, but I know some good people to ask here in ft smith.

What type of flowers grow well with limited light?

The front of my house has two large trees provinding shade at least 90% of the day. I would like to do a small window box, and hope to grow flowers that do well in that environment

What type of flowers grow well with limited light?
Hosta would be too big for a small window box.


They would look awful.


Treat the window box with shade-tolerant anuals


as well as perennials.


Look at some of these excellent choices and mix them up


for a few seasons of color.


%26quot;forget-me-not%26quot;


%26quot;primrose%26quot;


%26quot;fuchsia%26quot;


%26quot;begonia%26quot;


and don%26#039;t forget %26quot;impatiens%26quot;


Good Luck!!
Reply:whoa- alot. Go to the Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet site and click on %26quot;Herbaceous Ornamentals for Shade.
Reply:Any of the Hoster family will enjoy the shade but you must not let the soil become dry. They have lovely foliage and quite a few varieties. Many of the ericaceous or peat loving shrubs such as Camelias, Rhodedendrons and Azaleas come in dwarf form and have beautiful flowers. Many flowers will grow out of direct sunlight although yhey may not thrive as well as those with more light. Go to a garden centre and look at the labels on the plants. Most will tell you what kind of environment they like.
Reply:You should first state what zone you live in. No sun or part sun? No sun, Hostas for sure, also columbine, pulminaria, some types of phlox, ferns do well with no/little sun. Go to a gardening center near where you live and ask. I always get help when I ask. All these are perenials and will come back every year and multiply so you can give them as gifts, but I prefer to garden in the ground. Oops, now I see you want them in a planter - the columbine have pretty assorted shaped flowers with many different colors. When the flowers seed, bend over and shake the dry pods and they will reseed. Don%26#039;t have to keep buying flowers.
Reply:NOT MARIJUANA!!! But bamboo and philodendron

"Get Well" Flowers a Good Idea?

Heyyo,





I%26#039;m seeing this girl off and on and she%26#039;s been really sick for the last few days.


We went out together last wednesday night, had a few gnight kisses and then...she dissappeared...one week later (today) I%26#039;m talking to her for a few mins and she%26#039;s as white as a ghost (although still stunningly beaut.)...would it be a crime to show up at her dorm room with some romantic fleures/flowers tommorow evening? We%26#039;re not a couple but we both like eachother...would she think I%26#039;m over the top (we don%26#039;t know eachother THAT well)...or would a %26quot;get well%26quot; email suffice?





Thanks Gals...and guys
