Flowers

My rose plant has a white (looks like mold almost) on it’s leaves and flowers. It is spreading around the plant. It was just on one section of leaves, now it’s on almost the whole plant. flowers and all. Any suggestions on what it is and how to treat it?

Spt is correct, Powdery Mildew, brilliant as usual S! Spectracide 3 in 1 available at Lowz, HomeyD, Wallyworld

Do Not rinse it off. Powdery mildew is caused by too much humidity and not enough air flow.

For a winter wedding what would be some good flower choices? I like the idea of white roses and white poinsettas but what else could I use. Something different and unexpected would be great! Wedding colors are white, silver, and carolina blue (sky blue). I think our theme will be something like winter wonderland. Thanks for the advice!

This website:

http://www.weddingclipart.com/guide/flowers/wedding-flower-guide.html

lists wedding flowers by colors and even some specific flowers (ex: Calla Lily, Orchid, Tulip) … there’s even a Christmas flower page which might give you more ideas.

If you wanted to stay with the white flowers, gardenia is something a little different and unexpected. If you wanted to go for color though, maybe pink or yellow sweetheart roses to go with the white poinsettias and the silver and carolina blue.

ENJOY!

I have decided that real flowers are just waaaay too much money, so I am going to buy silk ones instead. I am disappointed by this, but that’s not the point… Anyway, Has anyone else bought fake flowers online? Where is a good site? I am going to buy them singly first to check the quality before I buy all of them. Any good sites? And also, any sites I should avoid?
If it bothers you so much that I am having fake flowers, would you be willing to give me $700? It will cost me $5 a flower if I get real ones!!!!!

Yes. I used afloral.com and they look really, really good! My cousin used silk gerberas from afloral at her wedding and they looked good. http://www.alforal.com

BTW: If you want, I can send you a link to the ones I have actual bought and have seen first hand as to what they look like.

Wait, that wasn’t a good link, I just tried it. Here: http://www.afloral.com/

Apparantly the home builder that I bought my house from did not put down some kind of weed or grass guard underneath the soil where my flowers and hedges are. Now grass is completelly taking over the bed. It looks terrible, I pull it often but it grows so fast I cant keep up with it. I heard using a grass/weed killer in your flower bed will kill your shrubs, hedges, and flowers too. Is there any help for me?

They make specially designed grass killer that won’t hurt your shrubs, hedges and flowers. Just look on the bottle and it should say if it is safe to use around other plants without killing them. They have them pretty much anywhere.

Hi!

I would like to incorporate some roses into my centerpieces but I would like them to be tiffany blue. Thats the trickiest part as its a very particular shade.

Has anyone done this and could you provide some advise?

I would appreciate any advise in painting fresh flowers in general though.

Thanks and blessings to all. May your life be filled with light, love and compromise.
Spray painting techniques and particular recommended trademarks are welcome but I’ve heard of dyes added to the water days before to attain some shades. Is this possible and with what products?

Heritage hobby spray paint

You can use it on flowers and it’s not the regular nasty stuff you get from the store- it actually had an elasticity to it which moves and breaths with the flowers!! NO fake shininess! NO crusting!!!

Edit: This woman spray painted flowers for a bride and even has a pic posted!

Thanks!

i m going to meet my fiancée in chennai. i m planning to stay in a hotel somewhere near to chennai central station. i m planning to celebrate our 1st anniversary of our relationship there. i would like to order a black forest cake with a bunch of rose flowers. can you’ll tell me which bakeries deliver the cakes directly to the hotel. i heard there is no monginis in chennai. any other quality bakery in chennai??. i want it to be delivered to the hotel directly.
thanks.

best will be to ask the hotel desk itself. Or if you are reaching the hotel earlier then tip the waiter or the desk and ask them the question.

Also, try cakes and more. Else I have once sent flowers and cake from US to a frnd on his wedding in India through indiaflowerplaza.

Their 5-star hotel cakes are really good and are from 5-star hotels only from this site though expensive.

i already checked on 1800 flowers so give me other ones plizz

I have used proflowers before, and they are great! I also really like the place below, they allow lots of customization to your order and have always been easy to deal with. Buying online is easy, cheaper than your local florist, and fast – good luck!

I want to order some flowers for valentines day
but i dont have a credit card, and cant borrow one
how can i order them, can i order the same ones that are on the internet in florists?

Yes, just locate an Interflora florist in your locality, walk into the shop, order the flowers and pay with cash.
