I have 2 plants, I'm not even sure they are Calla Lilies. They have huge leaves, and big white flowers with a long orange yellow center. The leaves are turning brown now, and the blooms are gone. Am I supposed to cut them back?
Anyone know how to care for Calla Lilies?
We have the white Calla Lillies. Once the flower has died off cut the flower stem right down . Keep the yellow seed part ( inside lillie), wear protective gloves and spread the yellow seeds around your garden they keep the cats away. Once they have all flowered and died off, cut everything right down to the ground.Leaves etc.
Reply:cut the old flowers off. Seeds develop in the old flower. You may want to let it do that just to see how it works. Its pretty neat.

Is this what they look like? Make sure they have lots of water and sun. Mine have the spotted leaves. I just love that!
I had them for 2 years and I just loved those pretty spotted leaves. It did bloom twice this year in its new spot.
They have bulbs and in there is plenty of energy. If the whole plants looks like its in trouble, I would cut it all back and let it regrow.
You will have to dig up the bulbs in the fall if you live in a wintry area like New England and store it in your cool basement with your other semitropical bulbs.
Some callas can stand the winter I am told, but I don't take the chance with mine.
I wonder though are you talking about Cannas? I don't remember any of them coming in White. Just red and yellow and orange.
I love them too. I got lots. Just Wikipedia them and you will know how to take care of them. Basically the same as Callas. They love water and sun. The more, the better. Callas are one plant that would thrive on overwaterings.
Reply:They must be kept very moist at all times!
2. You can let them grow outdoors, in spring and summer, but they must be kept wet!
3. Bring them indoors in fall and winter!
Good luck!

Reply:Most orchids bloom only one time a year ~ they are usually not dead after they bloom ~ just napping. Indeed there are very few indoor plants (or outdoors for that matter) that will stay in bloom for more than a few months out of the year.
Anthuriums can grow quite well indoors and will continue to bloom if given a bit of monthly fertilizer. Spathyphyllums (peace lillies) are also wonderful indoor plants with lovely white flowers and they require very little bright light.
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a wonderful bloomer ~ flowers last 2-3 months and then they should be cutback given a bit of a resting period ~ they start forming blooms again in about a month. They do need some sunshine though.
Most flowering plants really do much better outdoors. Having good air circulation ~ an open window nearby can make a very big difference. If your doors %26amp; windows are locked %26amp; closed up most of the time ~ you will probably have difficulty getting any houseplants to bloom.

What is this hosta looking plant?
I love the flower on this plant and am trying to figure out what it is. I thought it was a hosta as the leaves look identical. But I don't believe that is what it is. The flowers spike out like a hosta but have a much thicker stem. The one I have has a white flower and is extremely fragrant. They have an oblong flower when closed that opens up to a funnel shaped flower. My hostas finished flowering many weeks ago here in Connecticut and these plants have just flowered now. I'd love to get more of these but don't know what they are! Any ideas?

sounds like peace lily but I think they're just houseplants except for tropical regions....

Is it wrong to wear a white sundress (with pink accents) to a wedding shower?
Hi, I'm going to a wedding shower held at the bride's house and I have a white strapless sundress with pink embroidered flowers and a pink sash/tie. Is in inapropriate to wear a mostly white dress to the shower? or does this only apply to the wedding? The invitation didn't mention anything about attire.

Why are my red crape myrtles blooming white?
These are "Dynamite" crape myrtles that have bloomed a beautiful red the past 2 years. This year they're blooming white. What nutrient is missing or is it just the heat?
I live in Texas and we've had 5 straight days of 100 degree heat with no end in sight and of course we're in a drought. I've watered them and my roses (instead of the lawn);I don't care about grass but I really don't want to lose my flowers. HELP!
Why are my red crape myrtles blooming white?
Crape myrtles thrive in intense summer sun and are extremely tolerant of very dry conditions, but cannot survive winter temperatures much farther north than Arkansas. Like most summer blooming shrubs, produce their flowers on new growth. So, if pruning is to be done, it should be completed in the early spring before new growth begins.
http://www.cherylsgardenparty.com/2005/B...
Crape myrtles do not require much fertilizer. They are also adaptable to a fairly wide soil pH range, from 5.0 to 6.5. A soil test provides the best standard for determining the amount of fertilizer that is needed and whether the pH is at the appropriate level for your plants. However, one pound of actual nitrogen per thousand square feet of bed area is usually adequate to support new growth in an established tree. Be aware that over fertilization can reduce cold hardiness.

Remember, Dynamite is a new cultivar that originated as a hybrid from another species.

Reply:Your crape myrtle is a tree-form crape that can reach 20'. These commonly try to revert to the original state. Just cut off the branch that's white %26amp; keep pruning to a minimum--any basal shoots can be trimmed while young, and any dead stuff is OK to cut--but other than occasional shaping your trees do not need pruning.
Also, your crape is well-established by now--stop watering it! These are very drought-hardy and need only 2 inches per month in the worst heat.
Reply:Don't have a clue, but something is going on. Saw a crepe myrtle the other day with both colors on it. It is usually red only (have admired it for 10 years). Other people have also written asking the same question about other types of flowers. I also live in Texas. Yes, it's hot. But is always hot here in summer. Sure hope someone has an answer. This is curious.
Reply:Maybe the ph of your soil has changed. We have some flowering shrubs that determine their color on the acidity of the soil. Maybe crepe myrtles do that too.
Reply:maybe the drought?
Reply:it's having an identity crisis. may it thought you needed a change. plants seem to adapt to their enviroment. that's probably what yours is doing. don't worry as long as it looks healthy. i think watering it is a good idea though. don't want to fry it in the heat. good luck with it.
Reply:I Believe it has to do with the acid and alkaline levels Iin the soil. Just like with Hydrangeas. Test your soil to see what levels you have. Your local nursery can help with a solution. In the mean time, enjoy the beatiful white blooms.
Reply:could be they get cross polinated too or nutrients missing give them some mirical grow and some water in the evenings i live in texas too and the heat is wilting everything, so i water my plants in the late evening
Reply:Probably has to do with the alkalinity of your soil.

Does anyone know of a website that I can look at all the different types of flowers?
I am planning a wedding in another state. Before I travel up there to check out florists I would like to have in mind a rough image of what I want, i.e. type and color of flowers. Is there a website that I can see all the different types of flowers and different colors they come in? I already know I want a hand tied round bouquet but the type is stumping me....I'm think very natural with white, ivory, and green.

What is a floweret? Can it be used to mean "small flower"?
I would like to find a classy-sounding phrase that means "small white flowers." Could I say "white flowerets"? In looking online, it sounds like "flowerets" is usually used to refer to little tiny flowers that make up a larger flower, such as a head of broccoli. But can "flowerets" also be used to refer to little flowers found in fields? If not, what's a better word? Thanks!
What is a floweret? Can it be used to mean "small flower"?
The tiny flowers that make up larger flowers (like daisies) are usually known as florets. When "flowerets" is used for broccoli it usually means one of the small, stalked units of the head ... if you let the head flower, that unit would be a bunch of flowers, not a single small one.
Not sure that I can think of a "classy-sounding" term for small white flowers.

What is your opinion and why on which color scheme for flowers should we use for a black and white wedding?
We are using roses and the bridesmaids dresses are black with a white sash. Should we use red roses for their bouquets or white? And for me the bride what color of roses should I have?
What is your opinion and why on which color scheme for flowers should we use for a black and white wedding?
Those are my colors as well and I am carrying all red roses. Mostly because I think white roses against the white or ivory dress get lost, but also because it always looks off to me. Since my girls are in black dresses they are carrying the white roses and white stephanotis with crystals in the middle of them. I just don't like the white bouquets against the white dresses, and I want to say because they don't match but it's more than that. I just can't explain it better. The red against your beautiful dress will pop and it is so classic. I have just seen too many white bouquets that look funny against the white dress, but that's just my opinion. Red roses, cliche or not, will be timeless, so don't let anyone tell you differently.
SO in my opinion white for the girls and red for you. It will be beautiful.

Reply:I just attended a wedding that used the colors black, white, and red. It was lovely.
All the flowers were red roses . . . with the exception of the flowers used on the arch. The arch (where the couple was wed) was decorated with tulle, white flowers, and greenery.
The men wore red rose bouts. The girls carried red roses. It looked awesome against their black dresses. The bride also carried a hand-tied bouquet of red roses . . . but her bouquet was larger.
I vote for red. It will be lovely.
Reply:I think it would be nice to have the bridal party carry all red roses. Then you can carry red roses, but with hints of stephanosis in it - like this one.

Then you could have your bouquet wrapped in red ribbon and the bridesmaids can have theirs wrapped in white ribbon - or vice versa.
I hope that this helps! Good luck ?
Reply:add some color ...I'm guess their gowns are solid black and the sash is solid white... give them red and white flowers.. your bouquet should be...red,pink,white ( mostly red and white)...red..is bold..and the pink add's softness drawing away from all the black. so defiantly give them colored flowers but of course not as elaborate as the bride!!! good look on your wedding! :)
Reply:Instead of red, how about bright pink? It's in the same color family, so it would look just as good as red (and in my opinion, better!) You can always do roses, or if you want to be less traditional, I think tulips would look great.
Reply:White would be good if you dont want to accent with color however I've always seen black and white weddings done with red roses.
Reply:bridesmaids should carrey red.. and you should have a bouquet with red and white
Reply:Use something fun and punchy like fuschia or lime green or bright purple. Red's so cliche...
What is your opinion and why on which color scheme for flowers should we use for a black and white wedding?
Those are my colors as well and I am carrying all red roses. Mostly because I think white roses against the white or ivory dress get lost, but also because it always looks off to me. Since my girls are in black dresses they are carrying the white roses and white stephanotis with crystals in the middle of them. I just don't like the white bouquets against the white dresses, and I want to say because they don't match but it's more than that. I just can't explain it better. The red against your beautiful dress will pop and it is so classic. I have just seen too many white bouquets that look funny against the white dress, but that's just my opinion. Red roses, cliche or not, will be timeless, so don't let anyone tell you differently.

Can anyone give me a good comprehensive website so as I can Identify a species of tree?
I have a tree with simple rounded leaves which are downy on the upper side. It bears no friut or berries but does have white flowers about 1 in in diameter. The flowers consists of 5 petals and are highly fragrant and together form a star shape. They have long white stamens with red tips. The flower buds are a semi-open fat umbrella shape and dark pink in colour with the white flower wrapped up inside and resembling a pearl. The flower/bud clusters resemble a chandalier in appearance. Blooming August - September. The tree itself is about 12-15ft high and about 8ft wide at its widest point. The growing habit ( shape ) of the tree is similar to that of the Lilac. I have inherited this tree with my new house in the UK but the tree not nessasarily be native to the UK. Any help

Follow it through step by step, and hopefully it will help identify your tree.

Does anyone know the name of a painting with a man in a yellow suit holding a flower?
I don't know the artists name. The background is a swirl with several patterns (including a star pattern). The man has a goatee, is skiny, has a walking stick, black top hat, and black gloves in one hand, and a white flower in the other hand like he's giving it to someone.

Everbearing strawberry plants?
I planted some everbearing strawberry plants in hanging pot. The leaves are really large, and green. I noticed a few white flowers on my plants this morning. Are they supposed to look loke that? This is my first time planting strawberries so I don't know much about them. Also, how many strawberries will the average plant produce?
Everbearing strawberry plants?
Yes strawberry plants produce white flowers...
The quantity of strawberries will depend on soil condition, food the plants are given, watering, etc....but i would guess each plant probably could produce at least a couple dozen per growing season....mine have so far...
Reply:Well the plants are supposed to have flower, that's how the fruits develop. I just planted some this year and I had flowers, but now I don't.....
Reply:the flowers still need do pollinate to produce fruit you do have them outside?

What is your all time favourite item of clothing and why?
I have a favourite dress which I have had for years and it should really go to that great charity shop in the sky, but I have so many happy memories of times when I have worn it that I am reluctant to part with it. (It is cotton, knee length, floaty, and is black with white flowers on it and is so comfy to wear).

Reply:At the moment my pair of Diesel jeans are my faves. Why? Well, my boyfriend knows someone who works for Diesel and can get big discounts so he took me shopping. I was so excited. Then I found the jeans didn't go up to my size. I was very close crying in the shop. Afterwards I did cry and my boyfriend was wonderful and said I was beautiful and that they're stupid for not making my size. Which helped a lot but still, the experience didn't do much for my self esteem.
Cut to present, about a year later. It wasn't only because of the above but it probably was the final straw. I've lost nearly 10kg and about a dress size a half. I own a beautiful pair of Diesel jeans and they are fitting perfectly. Of course they are my favourites!
P.s. I do still think they should go up to larger sizes. Curvy girls can look great in well-designed denim.

How to make my room look blazin with DIY projects and creative ideas/how to deal with ugly walls and carpets?
The walls and carpet thing was not my fault. I knew what I wanted but my dad said that I might think it was stupid in about a year. The walls are beige and the floor is green, I have matching bedding- it's kind of a cabana thing going on, I even have a bamboo curtain for my window that i'm going to put up. How do I make my room awesome? I have a lot of different tastes, I kind of want a gothic looking canopy from Hot Topic and I kind of want these hanging light things that are white flowers that light up. I definitley will put pictures up and maybe I could do something to the floor to hide it? Please help, I dont have much money but a birthday coming up and I really want a room that says me better. Im an 18 year old girl.
How to make my room look blazin with DIY projects and creative ideas/how to deal with ugly walls and carpets?
The walls are easy, throw on some paint for starts.Then for som. diff. and cool try a wall of silky curtains behind the bed with some throw pillows. You can buy the fabric and get creative or buy off the shelf. What tends to work best for a personalized "decorated" look is the a lil this an a lil that techn. and just pull it all together. As for the carpet, have no fear momma Star is here. All you have to do is think of that floor as if it were a big ugly sweater. You wanna go goth or gurrly goth? All you have to do is find a color and dye it. Black would actually work well to really cover the green esp. if it's dark. It does work, trust me. It would help for you to scrap together some pics of things you just have to have and then work from there on color and other items. With your colors, to go for a cool dreamy effect i find it best to stick to a few blending shades. Like a deep modern(no baby shower!) pink- funky purple and smoky blue. Whatever your colors, just make sure they dont differ so widely that the room looks a jumble when your done. Good luck sweetheart, hope it helps.
Reply:Okay, you have the bamboo thing going on, so how about a grass-type mat for your floor. You can probably find one at a discount store, like maybe TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Target, Walmart, etc. Also check ebay.
The bamboo blind is easily decorated as well. You can make things stay on the blind by slipping things between the slats to hold them in place- I have metal iguanas and lizards, etc on mine in my salon.
If you don't have a headboard, you can buy awesome wooden bead curtains at Pier1. Hang them on the wall behind/above your bed.
Decorate away - and have fun.
Reply:To hide the carpet use black scatter rugs, add black picture frames and if at all possiable for your gothic theme black gauze curtins or any black curtins that are light weight. Use black light bulbs to create a mood when you just want to relax. Black medal canlesticks, accent pieces, curtin holds or furniture with black hardware. Paint can do wonders! You can find accents you like and paint them. If you can paint your furniture to match your gothic theme. Also don't forget the bedding if you can't get new bedding try hiding it by putting sheer curtins over it and accent pillows. It will look gothic then... for sheer curtins check the website below. Get them extra long if you want them to really flow or use as a bed covering. Measure across the bed and from head to foot. A scraf may work well for you. Try a metal headboard like a wall sculpure grill or even an old big picture frame painted black, staple some rice paper, fabric inside and hang it up on the wall. Or use more bamboo inside the frame, placemats work well for this.
Good luck!

What kind of flowers are these?
From your description, and without a good picture, I suspect that you are describing a species of Japanese cherry tree from the genus Prunus. Most ornimental Japanese cherry trees are from this genus and are quite beautiful while in bloom. Depending upon the species and/or variety, the petals may be white, pink, etc.

Any (sensible) ideas for a new colour for my bedroom walls?
I have a light beech-coloured laminate floor,
My curtains and storage boxes are dark brown,
I also have some seagrass baskets,
My bedcovers are black and white flowers
I currently have light blue walls because I was going for the surfery look with my floors too, but I have a lot of gothicy Victoriany burlesquey items like dressing table and mirrors.
I was thinking a deep purple, any other suggestions?
Any (sensible) ideas for a new colour for my bedroom walls?
I always say....yawn...but true... go with lighter neutrals and accessorise to bring in colour, you can't go wrong with that and when you get bored you don't need to redecorate, just change accessories!
Reply:You could paint 2 walls the deep purple you talked about %26amp; the other two a lighter shade t contrast the darkness.
Reply:I think that would be a great colour
Reply:have you thought of green there are many shades that will suit this type of room.green goes well with black/brown/beech
purple sounds ok but may be a bit dark
Reply:Try a taupe with a hint of purple/lavendar. It helps keep the walls a more neutral color so that you can decorate how you like.
Reply:right now there is alot of brown and pale blue combinations in fabric, but you could go yo a paler shade of mauve not really purple, as it would not look good ,
Reply:Hmm....how about 2 walls dark purple and the other two lilac
Reply:deep purple would be best as a complimentary color to a lighter shade of purple...with dark brown,black %26amp; white %26amp; lighter floor a lighter color on walls would work best..using darker color for trims,accents.
Reply:purple on one wall maybe sounds nice the curtains being brown though maybe replace them if you are going purple.
i am having a bedroom colour and bathroom dilemma at moment i want to change my chest of drawer to white and have a white bed its the colour for walls i don't know lol
Reply:please use same as you floor. it will be look like very better
Reply:Dark dark red would look lovely with the dark boxes and the light floor would keep the room from appearing too dark.
Reply:if you want to sell it in future use neutral colour like off-white.
otherwise deep purple is cool!
anything but simply red lol
Reply:A nice deep red would be nice and it would go well with your black and white bed covers AND your gothicky stuff too! (lots of candels would also look nice)
Hope you find something you like soon!
Reply:as i read your question i was going to say purple as thats my fave colour but then i read the rest of the comment and thats what you came up with. Maybe a deep lilac?
Reply:Deep purple is going to "shrink" your room, so unless it's quite large, I'd advise against it even though I get the look you're going for. (It'll also take 3 coats of paint to cover in the future.)
Consider a greyish lavender or a rich medium blue like Copen, or a very pinkish raspberry red. All can be dramatic with pale floor and Victorian furnishings, and go well enough with your curtains, boxes, and bed linens.
(I'd go with the grey-lavender, myself.)
Reply:i like mint green, cream and browns togehter, choosing is all part of the fun x
Reply:deep purple sounds nice, mayb have that colour on your main wall then a lighter colour purple on the other 3
Reply:try pale mushroom mine looks great
Reply:I think duck egg blue would suit your bedroom, it's a very calming colour.
Reply:purple's good, but yeah, don't do all the walls really dark, it will make the room seem smaller too. i was gonna say some natural shade of olive-y green, but with the Victoriana stuff i'd say a more classic shade maybe, but then again you'd have the same problem with the light if it was too dark a shade. Also if you do go for purple, a bluey lilac-y shade might be quite nice, unless that's not enough of a change?
Reply:lol I was reading and thinking to say blue... then I got to the part saying they were already blue!
Blue is nice, though a cold colour it is also a thought provoking colour.
Deep purple is nice but think about how much darker your room will be with it, is this what you're aiming for?
Don't get any kind of yellow! it makes people angry apparently hah.
I say blue even if you already have it ;p
(added - our is the purple colour of KAY L's hat.. it's nice and not too darkening)
Reply:The Victorians loved deep rich colours so choose one wall in a striking deep rich colour - deep magenta or a red velvet. the other walls stick to a rich cream with a hint of yellow in it to compliment the beech floor and your other accessories.
Reply:I would suggest something lighter...
Reply:A sage green would be really pretty! And the black and white with it would look stunning! Even the dressing tables would look fine with it.
Reply:You are requesting sensible answers and you are considering a deep purple!!! I would go the opposite with a pale color like light lavendar, pale celery grren, etc. Just my opinion.
Reply:pink would be nice i think
My curtains and storage boxes are dark brown,
I also have some seagrass baskets,
My bedcovers are black and white flowers
I currently have light blue walls because I was going for the surfery look with my floors too, but I have a lot of gothicy Victoriany burlesquey items like dressing table and mirrors.
I was thinking a deep purple, any other suggestions?
Any (sensible) ideas for a new colour for my bedroom walls?
I always say....yawn...but true... go with lighter neutrals and accessorise to bring in colour, you can't go wrong with that and when you get bored you don't need to redecorate, just change accessories!
Reply:You could paint 2 walls the deep purple you talked about %26amp; the other two a lighter shade t contrast the darkness.
Reply:I think that would be a great colour
Reply:have you thought of green there are many shades that will suit this type of room.green goes well with black/brown/beech
purple sounds ok but may be a bit dark
Reply:Try a taupe with a hint of purple/lavendar. It helps keep the walls a more neutral color so that you can decorate how you like.

Clover plant, how should I care for it?
I bought 2 shamrock or clover plants at the grocery store. And like most grocery store plants, they have no tags to indentify the type of clover or how to care for it. It has only 3 leaves per shamrock and it has white flowers. Can anyone tell me what sort clover this is and what sort of light conditions this plant prefers and does it like alot of water or not so much. Thanks!
Clover plant, how should I care for it?
It is not clover.
It's an oxalis.
Thery like direct or indirect sun, and they like to be dry between waterings. They will die off if kept wet.
They shed leaves all year round, then put out new leaves and flowers.
Periodically they will shed all leaves and look dead, then revive.
They do not like cold.
Reply:pls dont cover the plant as sunlight is necessary

What's the name of the white flower that zorro gave his daughter, Elena, when she was small?
It's the pretty little Matilija Poppy, native to California and Mexico. Here's more info with a picture of it.
