I want to float candles and flowers for my centerpieces. Does anyone know what kinds of flowers work well? These are the ones I%26#039;m thinking of...
Asiatic Lilies
Asters
Chrysanthemums
Dahlias
Experiences? Thoughts?
What kind of flowers float well with tea light candles?
go with white Asiatic lilies
very pristine and elegant looking
they will hold up well in any temperature
they are made for water so you don%26#039;t run the risk of them being ruined if the table gets jostled, etc.
perfect for a wedding
and congratulations on your marriage by the way
best of luck

Reply:Any flower that has a wide base and is flat at the base. For example roses won%26#039;t do, Daises and Magnolias,Maple Leaves sprayed with glitter etc will.
Even fake water lilies work well to.
Reply:roses or daisies i like all kinds of flowers..good luck on choosing
Reply:like what secret agt said, anything with wide base will work. lily will sure work but maybe you can try with orchids as i think orchids are exotic
Reply:Gerberas are perfect!
Reply:With the suggestions you give, I%26#039;m thinking you are planning a fall wedding....how about sunflowers, or orchids? Maybe even gerbera daisies.
If you are thinking chrysanthemums why not look in to the %26#039;football%26#039; mums that are bigger and can be sprayed with clear adhesive and clear/silver/gold glitter that will pick up the glow from the tea lights and sparkle a little.
For something unusual, have a grouping of flowers %26#039;handtied%26#039; and cut flat across the bottom. Put them in a flat container (maybe a square dish?) with shallow water, not enough that they will %26#039;float%26#039; but enough that you can still float the tea lights. The play of light and shadow on the flowers as the lights move will be awesome...maybe add some clear glitter to the stems too. Make sure that they are cut long enough to avoid the flame and that the florist uses a non-flammable wrap to avoid an ugly situation.
Reply:Those flowers would be beautiful, especially if you are going for alot of color! A couple of other flowers I have seen floating with candles are water lilies and magnolias.
Why not go to a local florist and buy a sample of each of the flowers you like, and see what they look like? It wouldn%26#039;t have to be fancy, just to see if they float how you want them too. Just think of it as sort of a test run!
Best of luck to you!
Reply:Water lillies, magnolias.
Reply:maybe a mini rose or lilly. that would look good with the tea candle.

One area of my flower garden is shaded by huge tulip trees.Could someone reccomend some types of blooming flowers that would grow well beneath them.
What types of flowers do well in the shade of trees?
%26amp;^%26amp;^
impatiens, spigellia (indian pink), foxglove,spiderwort, columbine, lady slipper, turk%26#039;s cap hibiscus (very beautiful), green and gold, hellebore (lenten rose).
The should keep you busy for awhile my fellow gardening man.
Reply:impatins, geraniums, most ground cover, bleeding hearts, forget me nots, johnny jump ups, pansys, primrose, lilly of the valley, begonia, foxglove,
Reply:Impatiens are the best. Bloom constantly. They do require a lot of water.
Reply:Begonias and impatiens,however both need lots of moisture.You might try filling in with a few varieties of hosta.
Reply:Most begonias, impatience, some azalea will do fine in full shade. Africa violets will do well, but water only when any sun cannot hit leaves.
Reply:Many of these plants are available at home improvement/ nursery stores and nurseries...all are part to full shade.
Butterfly Bush
Bleeding Hearts
Fairy Lilies
Pink Sundrops
Viola
Lilly of the Valley
Hosta
Ferns
Cyclamen
Elephant Ears
Barrenwort
Have fun!!
Reply:They don%26#039;t bloom like you probably want, but Hostas do really good in the shade.
Reply:Bluebells and snowdrops
Reply:Hostas, heuchera%26#039;s (my personal favorite...they come in all foliage shades and have beautiful sprays of foliage), columbine, pulmonaria, hellebore, lady%26#039;s mantle (alchemilla), astilbe, primrose (another favorite)...actually they%26#039;re all my favorites...it%26#039;s what I have in my garden.
Reply:Begonias, azaleas (bush), hostas, dahlias.
Reply:Impatiens are a beautiful shade loving flower and it comes in many color also, you could use coleus, the leaves come in many colors

Insted of flowers as get well in hospital for my grandma (she just had a stroke)?
while vacationing in florida with family my nanny (grandmother) had a stroke and is in the hospital - i am very close with her and i miss her terribly and just want her back home and healthy!
i want to send her something to let her know i miss her so much and i wish her to get well soon!!! shes not a huge fan of flowers - what else can i send her and from where (website) can i do it from - if its flowers then fine - but suggest something else?
Insted of flowers as get well in hospital for my grandma (she just had a stroke)?
Im a grandma, and here are my suggestions....Is she able to see well? Hear well? Since you might not be able to be there in person, send her apicture of you, a small hand held recorder with headset, and a tape of you talking to her. Tell her about your favorite memories, and your need to make more memories with her. Read scriptures, or poetry , or inspirational messages to her. Hearing your voice and seeing your face will be a big help, give her the encouragement she needs to fight this battle, and win her way back. Let her know you are there for her, and then every so often, send a new tape.
Or if this just isnt your %26quot;style%26quot; why not a book, or music or just a photo collage of you??
.A grandmas biggest fear is not being remembered or loved, and needed. I wish you both the best...

What flowers grow well on the northside of a house?
I live in Oregon and just moved into a new house. I%26#039;m planning on planting some flowers in the yard but most of my options are for the north side of the house. Is anyone an expert on which flowers and ground cover will do well without receiving direct sunlight?
Thank you.
What flowers grow well on the northside of a house?
I had great results with
hosta, caladiums , wax leaf begonias, crystal palace lobelia
on the north side of my house
it stopped traffic
also try
azaleas, rhododendrons, taxus, boxwood ..for shrubs in that location.
Reply:Hostas are great for shady areas around your house! I concur with Fluffy the Wonderdog on that point...
Reply:Not knowing which side of Oregon you are in makes it a little harder. But the plants Native to the forest usually do best in low light and lots of moisture. Like huckleberrys, Erythronium, the %26#039;trout lily%26#039; and Rhododendrons and azaleas.
Impatiens and English lawn daisies did well for me, and there is alway the annual planting of tulips and other bulbs. Hostas, solomon%26#039;s seal, ...too long a list....
The native to redwood forest plants, like Viola sempervirens, and Oxalis, make a nice space.
Avoid the periwinkle. It gets really weedy and attracts the slugs and snails you will learn to hate.
Reply:Periwinkle makes a good low sun groundcover,
Reply:Coleus does well in low sunlight areas. So do impatiens and hostas, daylilies and astilbe.
Reply:cotoniaster darwinii for grownd cover and jasmin nuderflorium for winter flower.hope it helps.
Reply:Moss.
Reply:Many plants do their best with morning sun and afternoon shade. If you have areas that at least will be getting some light, even if indirect, you can still have flowering plants. Make sure you look up species AND cultivars when researching. Some cultivars will do much better without direct sun. Although you can have alot to choose from for foliage, you probably want flowering plants. There are some Hydrangea hybrids that prefer shade or indirect sun. Dave%26#039;sGarden.com is an excellent site for looking up Genus, species, and cultivar or hybrid. If you plant Periwinkle(Vinca Minor) you will have some flowers, but for full flowering of Vinca, you need sun. I looked it up and most Iris species will do well in partial shade as well, they have beautiful foliage when they are not blooming as well as ability to naturalize and spread.

What flowers grow well indoors @ during the winter?
Are there any flowers that grow well indoors? It%26#039;s difficult to grow them outside during the winter season, so I would like to plant flowers I can start out by growing indoors then when the weather gets better it will grow outside.
What flowers grow well indoors @ during the winter?
i would definely reccomend amarillys,they are big bulbs,they have beautiful flowers,and you can gro them inside in the winter from october to the end of april,in fact i have one in my house wich i planted a week ago and is staring to came out,they take from 6 to10 weeks to bloom,this is more like an indoor plant
Reply:vines are good indoor plants.i have several vines,cactus%26#039;s,african violets,and bamboo plants - ivy too. they all do well in doors.
Reply:most flowering plants need more light than you can get indoors without special grow lights. violets will but I find them picky about water, temp..ect. vines or foliage are a better bet for indoors
Reply:I keep my geraniums blooming all year round they are outside all summer and come in the house in the fall I allso have coleus but when they start blooming I take the buds off (when the plant starts blooming the plant thinks it is the end of it%26#039;s season so after it starts blooming it will die) so I enjoy the plant for the great colors.

Good flowers that live well in a pot?
To start off, I live in Minnesota. Today we had a beautiful day, it was atleast 75 degrees and sunny. But anyway, I wanted to plant some sort flower in a fairly large pot to keep in my room. I can give it sunlight (my room faces the sun and it is always sunny!). So what are some pretty flowers that live well in these conditions?
Good flowers that live well in a pot?
I have a goldfish plant that blooms almost constantly in the sun. African violets bloom almost continuously, but I wouldn%26#039;t put them in a large pot. Gerbera daisies are pretty and will probably last a couple of months.
Reply:Geraniums do well both indoors and out. Just be sure to remove any dead flowers before they go to seed.
Reply:African violets.
It is difficult to grow outdoor plants indoors. I have tried it and they just don%26#039;t seem to get enough sun.
And yes, it is a beautiful day and we should be out enjoying it. Not sitting at a computer. This could be the last day of summer without mosquitoes here in Minnesota.
Reply:Angel wing Begonia loves bright light is easy to grow and can with good care live over 20 years.Sounds like you have the right conditions for this plant,they can get large but can be pinched back any time and bloom almost continuously.They do take a short rest in winter.Come in reds,pinks and white blooms.
Reply:hi, marguerit and pink rose are very beautiful andromantic and sprightly flowers.
