Yes, as well as the sight of flowers, and I pride myself on caring for my yard, especially my Lilacs, Dogwood, Magnolia, and Roses:) And I do it mostly because it brings joy to my Lil Sweety of whose smile lights up my life every time I present her with a bouquet of flowers:)
Does the scent of lilacs and wild flowers bring a smile to your face?
Not really, I'm not a smells person. The only smells that make me happy are my girlfriend and my stinky dog.

Reply:omg! I have a lilac planted by the kitchen door and I stick my nose in it every time I walk by..the scent of lilacs just does 'something' to me. I think I am smiling all over.

Poetic words that describe wild flowers?
The ones that readily come to my mind are:
Fast-fading VIOLETS Covered up in leaves,
hooded violets,
Many a flower is born to blush unseen in the deserted air,
Daffodils,
Circles of light
Poetic words that describe wild flowers?
The wildflower bends and sways,
And lends beauty to Summer days,
So colorful,they reach to the sky,
It's difficult to walk on by...
I must pick some for my vase,
And place it on a table with lace.
For from a simple wind-blown seed,
Comes nature's pure delight,indeed.
Reply:The burning of colours in the bed
Reply:a cocophony of colours
Reply:riot of colours
rainbow on earth
Reply:1) Fields of wild abandon.
2) A colourful carpet of leaf and flower.
3) Hills awash, in wild splendour.
4) A wild canvas of nature's best.
Reply:not sure if this suits but maybe something like " feral fragrant flora" play around with it and see. if we had the rest of the poem, might be better able to help.

In wild flowers if pig's snout gets its name from a pink bud....?
how did cow parsley come to get its name?
In wild flowers if pig's snout gets its name from a pink bud....?
from brown bud
Reply:The plant is grazed by cattle,and my goodness it stinks like cattle! Takes ones breath away...
Reply:It is in the parsley family, so that part is easy. Not sure why it is cow parsley, but here is one possibility. Some plants that humans don't particularly like--but are similar to something humans do like-- have an animal in the name. Fox grape and horse chestnut are examples. Goats eat cow parsley, but I don't know if cows do.

How can I kill off a perenial wild shrub?
I have a number of those horrible non flowering wild shrub type things that grow as tall as they like unless I cut them back each year.I need to get rid as secretly and effectively as possible.
How can I kill off a perenial wild shrub?
Salt will kill anything and everything.
Either drill holes in the base and spike or pack around the base.
Could take some time though but works everytime!

Reply:More than likely, you will need to get down to the roots, and dig them up. You may be able to cut them off at the ground, and pour stump killer all over the exposed roots.
Never use old oil, or gasoline on the ground! Remember, whatever goes into the ground will eventually make it's way into our water system. You dump it, you drink it!
Reply:get an old paint brush and paint a number of leaves with SBK, you may have to do it more than once. you could even cut off a few branches and paint the cut ends with it too
Reply:Oh, secretly.
I was going to suggest gasoline.
Reply:There are two ways. One, girdle the tree. Two, drill a small hole and inject a systemic plant killer (go ask at a nursery which chemical is best, I don't know.)
How to girdle the tree: Cut a line in the first layer of bark, all the way around the tree. I would suggest doing it far down, near the soil, so it's not noticable. Then go at least 1/2 inch down, or an inch is better, and cut another line in the first layer of bark, all the way around the tree. If the shrub/tree is thicker than your wrist, you might want to go a couple inches or more wide. Strip off the outer layer of bark. Cover the white underlayer with dirt so it's not so noticable. If the ring is near the ground, and it's possible, dump some leaves or whatever to cover. The tree will die within 4-6 months or so. Definately by next spring. I've done this to a number of trees and it works infallibly. I like this way best because it's pretty subtle, especially if you only do one or two a month, and spread it out. Plus, there's no nasty chemicals involved, and less evidence later.
To inject a systemic chemical: cut a round plug out of the first layer of bark, preferably somewhere pretty hidden, near to the roots. Make the plug bigger than the hole you will drill. Drill a hole, probably what, 1/2 inch around or so, all the way to the center of the bush. Angle the hole downwards so gravity takes the chemical to the heart. Use a funnel or basting syringe or something to get the chemical down the hole. Be careful!! Throw away the funnel %26amp; syringe afterward- you don't want anybody using it and getting killed!!! Seriously, you can't trust on cleaning it afterward!! Then plug up the hole with the plug, you can use glue to keep it in place even, it doesn't matter. This is a quicker, but less subtle, way to make the shrub/tree die.

Is it o.k. to get rid of wild poppies in your yard? any law against it?
I believe that you have the right to do what you want to in your own yard and can legally do what you want to to enhance the looks of your yard . I was told by a friend that they were told about a law against touching some wild flowers such as the poppy. can someone enlighten me?
Is it o.k. to get rid of wild poppies in your yard? any law against it?
If I am not mistaken then poppies are protected in California. They are the state flower too. It is illegal to pull poppies on public land, however, your property is yours, therefore if you want them out, pull them out, spray them, move them, whatever, they are yours. But you are correct in that they are protected, at least in California! Understandably, if your not from California, then you are unaware of this law.
Reply:i believe you can do whatever you wish in your own yard- if it is a state flower, then it is protected from people pulling it up in the wild and planting it though. also, some plants can be on a noxious weed list and can't be planted in some states. i've never heard of any flower police ;) so you should be fine. make your garden your own! happy gardening.
Reply:never heard of no such law in my life.do what you want on your own land.unless your going to add an adition then you need a building permit.but taking out poppies no law against that.
Reply:They are in no way endangered, and can be weedy, so feel free to get rid of them.

“To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower ” - What does this sentence mean?
Could you explain this sentence, which is said by a great philosopher and author?
“To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower ” - What does this sentence mean?
Hello Paresh, that 'sentence' is from "Auguries of Innocence" by William Blake. "Auguries of Innocence" is one long poem mostly about the moralistic contradictions of human nature, and its eventual judgement by the Powers of Good. By "moralistic contradictions," I mean human nature's irrationality and its resultant evils/sins. What stands out from the rest of the poem is this famous opening stanza:
To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.
After reading these lines, your attention gets hooked. In fact, this stanza is the tone-setter for the whole poem, and understanding it is also crucial to understanding the whole poem. David Pinching of Bibliomania.com gives an excellent analysis of the whole poem. I give part of his analysis below :
"There is a contemplative tone set up at the start of the poem in the famous lines:
"To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour."
Here, Blake seems to be setting up the basic theme of the poem: of a nature visible in every thing, the microcosm expressing the macrocosm totally (i.e. the smaller thing demonstrating, even proving the greater thing). It is a positive image, too, in the immediate reference to Heaven and the image of the wild flower. This tone does not last. He continues, ........."
--------------------------------------...
My own simple interpretation to these opening lines is : There's wisdom to be learned in the smallest of things, and their truths are as eternal as the Heavens. I put it as simple as that.

Reply:Not sure about the carniverous variety, but we had them all over the woods in the backyard when I was growing up in the MidWest. At that time, they were protected. They look like a little stick man figure enveloped by a beautiful green leaf. I always used to love to see them pop up in the spring. Don't pick them! I think they are endangered.

We live in California and have already planted most things. All are doing well, even though the nights go down to 41. The sun is the key, and we are getting 65 right now during the day, with the sun on all of the growing areas.\

A biology project over wild flowers?
ok i have this biology project do soon and its over finding 40 wildflowers...i jave only found 13 so far and i can not find anymore around here where i live if u know where i could get some please let me know
A biology project over wild flowers?
Ah - that's tricky; it's pretty early in the year for many flowers to be in blossom (at least here in the northern hemisphere). However, you may be able to finesse this one by remembering that not all flowers are big, showy constructs on stalks, like tulips or etc. Trees and shrubs also produce flowers, although they're small and fairly inconspicuous. If you stretch the definition of "wildflower", you may be able to find your 40 types in time. Good luck!

When is the best time to transplant perenials? I have several different flowers, but the majority are lillys.?
I have several different varieties of lillys as well as some black eyed susans and some wild flowers. I want to plant them elsewhere and dont want to ruin them by transplanting them at the wrong time
When is the best time to transplant perenials? I have several different flowers, but the majority are lillys.?
Fall is a great time to transplant perennials. Most perennials are transplanted in the spring as growth starts. If you can, it's recommended to "wait until the plants have flowered and then cut back by half just prior to moving. If plants are moved out of season, they may need to be shaded for several days to allow them to recover." http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/perennials/...
Wait until the Lilies have dried up. Then you can dig up their bulbs %26amp; easily replant them.
Container grown plants can be transplanted any time. Plant in the cool of the evening or when it's cloudy. Make sure they get enough water so they don't get stressed-out while getting established.Here's more info:

Do wild daisy seeds need stratification before planting?
If you live in this part of the world the below link will help you.
I personally just let them self seed as they would in nature.
Some things need to go thru the dormant period of winter. Like conifer trees.

There are several different ways to give this pretreatment. 1. Seeds can be stored in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag with damp sand, be careful the sand does not contain weed seeds.
2. Seeds can be planted in seed flats, moistened, covered with plastic to prevent drying and placed in refrigerator.
3. Seeds can be planted in seed flats, placed outside in partial shade and covered with screen wire (window screen) to keep out small animals and help breakup large raindrops that could splash seeds out of the flat. Seeds germinate at their normal time in the spring.
4. Seeds can be planted outside in fall/winter in a prepared flower bed or field and let nature do the job of providing the cool moist stratification.
I prefer planting in seed flats covered with screen and placed outside. Seeds will germinate in the spring and are transplanted to small individual pots when they have two true leaves and later into the flowerbed when large enough to mulch around. This is more work than planting directly in the bed but often gives better results. When perennial seeds are planted directly in a flower bed it is often very hard to distinguish between small flower seedlings and the weeds you will want to remove. Starting seeds in flats will also give the option of mulching around individual plants as they are transplanted into the garden.

It sounds like it needs cutting back. This will thicken the bush and should produce flowers next year,

- Have a nice walk in the country and look for wild flowers.
- Create a friendship and try to identify the wild flowers in the human's soul.
It depends on what you are looking for.

What flowers do rabbits NOT LIKE? What type of flowers can I plant that wild rabbits will not eat?
Rabbits or insects don't like Marigolds!
What flowers do rabbits NOT LIKE? What type of flowers can I plant that wild rabbits will not eat?
I agree with marigolds. I also have sunflowers, dahlias, wild flowers that have been safe from rabbits. They have killed my tomatoes and broccoli this year.
Reply:Is garlic a flower?
Reply:We plant marigolds along the edge of our garden to keep the rabbits at bay. Learned this from my grandpa.
Reply:Not to freak you out but I have seen rabbits jump up and snag moths out of the air. They seem to relish this treat so I guess their tastes have expanded past alfalfa. I keep a special area of unmowed grass/clover/carrots (they love to eat the tops so I could never harvest the carrot part) away from the garden and I have had fewer flowers munched. The rabbits got to be such regulars in this area that a couple were munched my a coyote. I buried the remains in the garden--compost for next years' plants I guess. Yarrow seems to be the fave of the local bunnies.

How can i cross pollinate 2 different flowers?
I would just plant them close together.I have a large rose bush that has pink blooms and red blooms as a result of putting them together.IT'S UNUSUAL AND BEAUTIFUL.It's only one plant now and I have no idea how it happened.

How do you cross-breed flowers on animal crossing wild world for DS???
put three red roses together in a triangle after about a week there will be a black rose (note: i've never done this, only my friend has). try other flowers too
How do you cross-breed flowers on animal crossing wild world for DS???
Cross-breed flowers? I don't think such a feat is possible. I'd try having a massive garden, but I've never heard of such a thing. You might have more luck asking on the Animal Crossing Community web sight.

My best experience has been late March/April.
The Superstition Mountains ijn Arizona explode into a kaleidoscope of color. The otherwise barren desert turns into an "OZ".
I've had to seriously remind myself to watch my feet when hiking off the trail there, because the flowers are SO beautiful :)

Reply:I live in Tucson and we are looking forward to this Spring's offering as it should be good this year given that we have had a very good rainy season from the summer rains and into December so far. If the next quarter year keeps up the rain momentum, the wild color should be tops this Spring. As you know, the different species come on at different times as the the weather begins to warm from early March into June. What is the peak will depend upon what where and what.

Does the wild form of marijuana in WV have little yellow flowers?
I saw a plant growing almost everywhere when I visited WV recently, that looks like mj, with pointed multiple leaves like the mj I've seen before, but these have little yellow flowers, which did not have much, if any potent, resiny smell typical of culitvated mj flowers. Is this the right plant? if it is, there is nothing for the gov't to worry about. No one would want to smoke it.

I am planting a flower garden from seed in Yucca Valley CA, what flowers grow best in that desert area?
I am moving to Yucca Valley in Jan(from Ohio) and want to be prepared to plant the seeds in early spring. I want flowers that will grow in the natural desert soil without adding topsoil and ones that wont need much watering after they are established. I have a lot of area to work with so I want to do areas with wildflowers and also regular flowers. Ive been doing tons of searches but surprisingly enough cannot find any one book or source for desert flowers, so am trying to figure it out by searching :
arid soil, sandy soil, zone 9, full sun etc and then trying to pick out ones common to all the lists. Unfortunately, while I have found a lsome useful information about wild flowers, I've found very little on *regular* flowers.. So if anyone has experience with flower gardening in the Mojave/desert any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much . Mykiel
I am planting a flower garden from seed in Yucca Valley CA, what flowers grow best in that desert area?
Hi Mykiel My grand father who lived in Phoenix loved his roses they loved the hot dry climate(no fungus, black spot or mildew) I always love wildflowers in the spring and with the record rain fall a couple years back flowers were blooming in Death Valley, now it's moved back to us the rain(I live in Seattle WA(Flooding everywhere)) want water come and take all you want right now. Sorry back to wild flowers with water they will grow through growing season to mid summer if having enough water (pray for rain)
Have you Looked at Sunset Western Garden Book.I've had a copy for twenty years on my second book now.
I would sow your wildflower seed as soon as you can because they do take root early even under snow to race above all the others for rites, I love wildflowers
Send me some pic of your achievements I'd love to see it Good Luck and the Gods be with you (I'm part American Indian) I have some succulents that would be interesting to try there one is from Russia and the other is a beautiful maroon with grayish tipped pads about the size of a dime, very pretty good Luck again Chris

Will snow kill my wild flower seeds?
I recently planted about 500,000 wild flower seeds on a hill side (about 5 days ago). I thought that winter was over but now the weather channel is predicting about 2-4 inches of snow (IN APRIL)...will this kill the seeds and stop them from germinating? I am in South Western PA if that helps. The temperatures are going to be in the high 30s low 40s for that day and like 2 days after but will be going back up to the 50s and 60s after that. Is there anything I can do to stop them from being destroyed if infact this little snow storm will kill the,?
Will snow kill my wild flower seeds?
If you planted them under the earth, then it will be ok i'm sure. the ground temp will save them.
Reply:wild flowers seed themselves on top of the ground each fall so survive the winter in whatever part of the country they naturally grow. If they are wild in your area of the country they should be just fine. In fact, snow often helps some plants to do better.
Reply:Mother nature has programed wild flowers to naturally re seed themselves. This means the flower seeds spend the winter out in the cold and sprout when conditions are right. They'll be fine.
It might be a different story if the seeds had sprouted ,as the tender shoots could freeze.
Reply:yes but normally grow back in spring plaints and seed have that re birthing cycle.
Reply:If they are under ground the snow should not hurt them,but if they are above the ground the snow will kill them.If it snows on them get the garden hose out and melt the snow off the flowers.

Flowers in North Carolina - Do Tiger Lilys grow wild by the side of the road? What flowers bloom in April?
Hi:
I live in South Carolina and Tiger Lilies do grow wild in North and South Carolina. They grow native in the upstate of South Carolina and also along roadside in the foothills and mountains of North Carolina. Around the Charlotte area there are highways with Tiger Lilies in full bloom in the summer.
Dianthus is an early bloomer. I will link you to the gallery of plant section of my website. There is a page on annual and perennial flowers.
There are also many flowering shrubs that would work well in North Carolina.
Azaleas
Indian Hawthorn
Loropetalum or Chinese Pizazz
Viburnums
These are just a few. I will link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other articles, tips or techniques that may be useful to you. Good luck to you and have a great day!

The most common of the flower referred to as tiger lilly is this one and they pretty well grow in wild form everywhere.... They are not however considered one of the wildflowers of North Carolina. They also come with different types of black spots but are still called tiger lillies.

As bracken is a native wild flower i cant pick it by law , but i cant find anywhere to buy it any idea's?
yes i know its carcogenic but i want it for composting (cellulose) to go mainly with grasslawns cuttings . i have pleanty of land but no bracken and my soil is ok. there is wild bracken growing within a mile of my house.
As bracken is a native wild flower i cant pick it by law , but i cant find anywhere to buy it any idea's?
Firstly, bracken is not a flower, it's a fern, an invasive one at that. It harbours mites that can cause lime disease, and yes, it is indeed carcinogenic. To add to its other charms, it tends to acidify any soil it is growing in and crowd out most other plants. In short, it's a nuisance.
Secondly, and most importantly, it is NOT illegal to pick bracken under (British) law. The Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981, states under Section 13 (1)(a) that it is an offence to "intentionally pick, uproot or destroy any wild plant on Schedule 8." Schedule 8 lists all the wild plants specifically protected from intentional picking, uprooting and destruction (see website listed below). Bracken is not on the list.
So go ahead and help yourself. Better yet, come around to my paddock and take the lot...
Reply:I take your point, but do a web search and see how many sites come up on controlling bracken, including DEFRA, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the RSPB, the Forestry Commission... I seriously doubt you will have any problem removing it. Report It
Reply:You may not be able to pick it - but surely you can transplant it? That's just bracken moving to a better area!
Reply:I had some at my last house, not sure where it came from originally but it spreads like wildfire, spores on the leaves.
Is it illegal to cut a couple of the stemmed leaves, or a few of the leaves?
I used to put the leaf into a paper bag, the spores collect in the bottom, could you try this?
Otherwise you had better just steal some as you clearly won't rest until you have that cellulose in your heap.
Reply:just steal it
Reply:loads of it on eston hills cleveland uk
Reply:i say call a govt office or dept of agriculture... ask them what is permissible.
Reply:Why do you want to complicate your life by using bracken will nothing else suffice like leaf mould....? Sorry but why would you want to use something that is carcogenic doesn't make any sense to me.
Reply:Hi
I don't know about it being a carcogen but what i can tell you is Bracken contains Cyanide within it's structure, that's one reason why animals won't touch it, so be careful if you handle it

Wild flowers on a trail or a bouquet in a vase?
wild flowers on a trail
Wild flowers on a trail or a bouquet in a vase?
What is your actual question? Wild flowers on a trail are natural, representing "found" beauty, not a product of human effort. In general, wild flowers are smaller, less varied, and less colorful than a bouquet of cut flowers. The cost of wild flowers is external at most, the person seeing them paying to be there, but not for the production of the beauty itself. Cut flowers are made, not found. The flowers themselves are grown commercially on a plantation, somewhere in the world, perhaps inflicting some damage to the environment, perhaps not, harvested by human labor, shipped by air at some expense and with some adverse environmental impact, to be assembled by a florist into a bouquet as their paid job, sold to somebody for money, given to some recipient for some purpose, ranging from simply experiencing the beauty to commemorating some emotion-charged occasion. Cut flowers have more emotional impact, more environmental impact, and more economic impact. Wild flowers on a trail are experienced by chance, a bouquet of flowers in a vase is experienced by design. Preferring one over the other is perhaps only a matter of taste, about which there is no right or wrong.

Wild flowers on a trail or a bouquet in a vase?
What is your actual question? Wild flowers on a trail are natural, representing "found" beauty, not a product of human effort. In general, wild flowers are smaller, less varied, and less colorful than a bouquet of cut flowers. The cost of wild flowers is external at most, the person seeing them paying to be there, but not for the production of the beauty itself. Cut flowers are made, not found.

I want to use fragrent wild flowers for my bouquets...?
Its an out door wedding, late April/ early May, in Arkansas, so what flowers hold up well in the 80+ heat?
I want to use fragrent wild flowers for my bouquets...?
Not many wild flowers are going to hold up in 80degree heat. I would try to use a more sturdy flower, such as a calla. If you are really dead set on wild flowers though, You need to get them from a florist or grow them yourself. It's illegal to go and just pick them from somewhere. Actually growing them yourself would be a good idea, since then you could pick them early on the day of your wedding.
Reply:Before you spend money on heavily scented flowers please make sure that the persons who have to carry them can stand the smell. Some people are allergic to smelly flowers and no one will be able to hear the vows over the sneezes.
Reply:Unfortunately, most wildflowers don't hold up well once plucked. The best flowers to hold up in that kind of heat are calla lilies and roses. You could get artificial flowers and spray them with your favorite perfume.

How do I start a Wild Flower Garden?
I want to be able to cut fresh flowers this summer, I just bought a house and was wondering what i would have to do to grow them, do i need a shady area or high sunlight? I am a gardening Novice that would love to make this my hobby.
How do I start a Wild Flower Garden?
Wild flowers grow in different areas of shade or sun depending on where they originated in the wild. Many wildflowers have specific needs regarding soil, light and moisture. In some cases, the conditions can be changed to create more favorable growing conditions, but in the long run, it is always easier to select wildflowers that are suited for the existing location. Planting flowers that are native to your area makes growing them easier, too.
http://www.enviro-explorers.com/wildflow...
http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC1...
Coneflowers, Black-eyed-Susans, Liatris, etc like a lot of sun.
The best plants for the more heavily shaded areas to partially shaded are those found in the woods in their native habitat, such as Violets, Bluebells, Lilies of the Valley, %26amp; Wild Ginger.

Here's how to plant a meadow of wildflowers:
http://www.life.ca/nl/43/flowers.html
I've just bought a wildflower seed combination pack called "North American Wildflowers" of native plants. It includes wildflower seed, fertilizer, %26amp; mulch in one package for less than $2. It says to "plant in the spring %26amp; to water daily until plants are established (4-6 weeks). Mow plants to 4" in the fall after the flowers have bloomed." The annuals will bloom the first year, but some perennials will not bloom until the second year.
I've also bought a pkg of 6 Lilly-of-the Valley (Convallaria) pips %26amp; a pkg of 12 Liatris bulbs ( tuberous corms). These I've planted in pots indoors now, but the Liatris will go in my sunniest spot outdoors, when I get a chance, %26amp; the Convallaria is eventually going under my trees.
You can plant some wildflower seeds soon %26amp; surprise yourself with what will grow from a small pack of seeds. Also, if you purchase %26amp; plant one blooming plant of several different varieties of wildflowers you'll find you'll have all the seeds you need in the fall. Many wildflower seeds are planted outdoors in the fall or spring. Some are planted indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost date. The back of the seed packs will give you this information.
Besides planting by bulbs %26amp; corms, Liatris, %26amp; many other bulbous wildflowers, can also be grown through seeds you've purchased (or collected once they have matured, in late summer to early fall), and sown into flats that can be left outdoors throughout winter and will germinate once the temperature and soil begins warming in the spring. These plants can also be allowed to self sow in open areas of the garden for a pleasant surprise later in the growing season once they begin blooming. The tuberous corms of older plants can also be dug up and divided in late winter while the plant is dormant.
Here's a list of some wildflowers %26amp; their moisture/sun/shade requirements:

Reply:Gardening stores sell wild flower seeds. The instructions for planting are on the bag. They can be planted about any where! Some people even plant them in the lawn in patches. They look great. If every one just had grass it would not be a very pretty place!!!We even plant some bright flowers in our garden, it adds a bit of color to it!!You can also plant wild flowers in hanging pots to add color. We use trelesus for cucumbers, and have morning glories growing with them!! The more variation you have the better your garden will look. People will comment on it too...I wish i could start now..Got to get rid of 2 ft of snow first!!!

Is there such a thing as wild roses?
Here in northern Michigan on the side of the roads I have seen some wild flowers that looks just like small rose bushes. They even have that same beautiful scent.
Is there such a thing as wild roses?
Yes there is they are also called running roses or rose vine, very pretty if you have some chicken wire to run them up and across would be beautiful with different colours
Reply:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...
Yes. The flowers that we see in nurseries are distant cousins of the wild rose. Back in the day there were no hybridizers and cross breeders. There were just the wild roses.
I have an amazing rose bush in my yard that came up on its' own. It is covered in tiny white blossoms in the springtime. They look like the blooms pictured only they grow en masse.
Reply:yes. see these pictures.
Reply:Absolutly! My parents backyard is, well used to be, all woods and there were tons of wild rose bushed back there. I loved going back there and just seeing all the different colors there were.

What are the best flowers to plant in the shade?see details?
It gets sunlight in the late afternoon, like 4 or 5. I don't care if its annual or perennials, but I would prefer something easy! I live in IL. I was thinking about just putting a bunch of wild flowers seeds down but I didn't know if they would grow there. Any suggestions?

Hostas are a good choice and are perennials. Impatiens are good annuals for the shade.
Many wildflowers need sun for most of the day.

How do you dry flowers in a book?
i picked some wild flowers and stuck them in a book, because i want to glue them on a paper with like i love you for mothers day, will that work? and do you know of any websites that show you how it is done?
How do you dry flowers in a book?
hey there...
yes..it work..i do it to my beloved mother......and make a creative card to...very beautiful and nice........
try this to make ur own dry flower..
.....place a paper towel (or two) on top of a flat bottomed ceramic or glass plate, then place flower on toweling... add another paper towel (or 2) on top of that
.....place a second plate on top of your last paper towel
.... microwave for 15-30 seconds (high?)... check to see if they are dry.
........if not, re-microwave them at 15-30 second increments until they are dry (if paper towels become too damp, replace with dry ones)
(.....can also use blotter paper, but still use paper towel right next to flower)
...can microwave multiple flowers at one time if they aren't overlapped (but takes a bit longer, and some color may be lost)
...may be best to let flowers continue drying after microwaving for awhile (even overnight) to get rid of all moisture in thicker areas
Or flowers can be dried so they stay dimensional by using a drying agent around them with the microwave... .for a bit more info on doing that, check out this page:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/mixing_med...
(click on *Dried Nature*, then scroll down to the subcategory "Quick Drying Flowers"...)
Reply:If you've lready put them in a book, you're done. I hope you placed them flat in a normal appearance. Now all you do is apply white glue and glue them to the paper. A very soft paintbrush works well. And you have to make sure the entire surface of the flower is covered. Any area left unglued will snap off.

When is the best time to water flowers during a dry spell?
Temp. has been from 80 to 95. We have had no rain. I want my flowers to look their best because we are trying to sell the house. Should I keep them watered all day. or should i water at certain times. I have wild flowers, perinials.
When is the best time to water flowers during a dry spell?
Morning is the best time, If it is really hot out, then remove the hose nozzle and flood the ground around the plants in the day time to help the plants stay cool. as the water evaporates it will pull heat out of the ground and help to take the stress off the plants.
Reply:95 degrees would be considered a 'cooldown' for my area, but my flowers/plants wouldn't know the difference.
In the evening, soak the ground slowly by placing the hose (no nozzels) in line of the plants with the water barely on. After about a half hour or so, go back and re-water with the nozzel on the hose, about mediumn water pressure, to wash off any dust/dirt on the leaves/flowers.
Even with triple digit temps, this works great when done every 3 days; it keeps the deeper dirt near the roots moist at all times.
Reply:Put the sprinkler on them in the evening and water well.I would water every other day for best results....
Reply:Watter late in the afternoon or evening as the sun and heat
will evaporate the water faster in the day. Too little watter is
worse than no water. It causes the roots to come to the top
of the ground seeking water. Watter slow so the watter will
soak deep into the ground. One really good soaking a week
should do the job unless your soil is really sandy.
Hope that helps.
Reply:Before the sun rises or after the sun has set or is setting
Reply:early inthe morning say 5am
Reply:Early in the morning is probably the best time (right after sunrise) or at sunset.You sholudn't water when the sun is on the plants.Once or twice a day is plenty.I have always done it this way and have had great sucess.
Reply:early morning... the logic being that then they will have available, what they need , to get thru the heat of the day....doesn't do them much good to be stressed all day in heat and needing water and have to wait until you decide to go out and water around six pm..... stress, especially water stress is what makes plants, especially annuals, look ratty and weary......
watering after sundown leaves too much water at the surface, and ups the humidity... and that's a prime breeding ground for fungus and mildew and other plant disease...it's liable to get plants like lilac and beebalm, etc, but especially on lawns, it's not a good idea to water too late.....you want the lawn and plants, too, to have time to dry off before the sun goes down....
Reply:My grandma told me to water in the morning or the evening. It didn't matter which one as long as the sun wasn't beating down on them. If you water with the sun beating down on them she said that it would burn them up!
Reply:Water them in the Early AM. You can also buy some crystals that will absorb water and disperse the the water as needed. This will ensure that your flowers get the proper amount of water needed to flourish. Remember it is all about that first 5 seconds that a buyer makes a decision whether they like your home or if they dont. Good Luck!!! Foracleanhome.com
Reply:The best time to water your flowers is in the morning. If that's not possible later in the afternoon around the time one gets home from work is the 2nd best alternative. The key is to give the water time to evaporate so that it is not on the foliage during the evening hours. That's when you run into trouble with plants. I'm watering daily when the temperature gets above 85F and there's no rain. Most plants tend to stress at about that temperature. Well rooted perennials will should take it a little better than annuals, but if you're trying to have your yard look it's best, keep them well watered this time of year. Depending on the size of the plant, I will water a 10 - 30 count per plant. I live in Central Michigan, where it's hot and humid this time of year. This may be different where you are.
Hope this helps and good luck selling your house!

How long to wild plum trees bloom white flowers?
Fruit development period refers to the time between when the flower bud opens and the fruit is ripe. It is shorter during warmer growing periods and longer when the season is colder. It can be used as an indicator of when the fruit will be harvested (Table 2 ).
In my experience, it is only a matter of a couple of weeks, after which (if the tree is mature enough) it will begin to produce fruit.

Try laying a lifleike rubber snake near the plants, also there are plastic Owl statues that you can place nearby that might work as well, keep in mind though that an urban bunny may be hard up for decent greens, and don't be too hard on the little guys. Life is tough at the bottom of the food chain

Do Road Median Planting of Wild Flowers Harm the Bee Population?
We've all seen them. A few years ago as a measure to save money, States began to plant wild flowers in the median of roads. They provided the traveler something pretty to look at while sparing the State the obligation to mow the grass in the road median.
But Bees are also attracted to these same wild flowers, and to get the them a bee must travel across two lanes of highway traffic going to and from the source of pollen.
Just think about it! Millions of Bees are needlessly killed each year in collisions with car windshields or radiators.
Do you think this practice of planting wild flowers in the road median should stop? Do you think planting flowers is harming the bee population? Should tunnels be built to allow cars to travel through the tunnels or while bees fly safely overhead? Maybe bee hives should be kept in the medians as well?
What are your thoughts?
Do Road Median Planting of Wild Flowers Harm the Bee Population?
i`ve been stung by bees driving down the road. Those bees deserve everything they receive on the freeway
Reply:well unless every single bee was flying only 3 feet off the ground as most cars are that height to make best contact yes,
the flowers are doing more good than harm,leave the bloom'n things alone
Reply:So THAT'S where the bees are disappearing to.......
They are attracted by the wildflowers and then they.... hitch-hike their way to New Orleans?
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose?
Reply:No, it's got to be doing more good than harm. To kill the hive you've got to kill the queen, and worker bees only have a couple of good weeks in them anyway before they die. They're disposable.
Colony Collapse Disorder is a much bigger problem for bees than getting killed in traffic.
Not only that, bees tend to fly in transit about 10 to 12 feet up, and that's over most commuter traffic and high enough to get drafted up and over commercial vehicles. I drive charter buses, and I don't hit more than a few bees each trip.

We have a number of very tall(5ft+) wild flowers in my backyard. They look like dandelions. What are they?
This is N. Central Michigan
We have a number of very tall(5ft+) wild flowers in my backyard. They look like dandelions. What are they?
It's probably prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola) or sow thistle (Sonchus). If the flowers are very small, and the leaves lobed, it's probably lettuce; if the flowers are %26gt;1 inch across, likely sow thistle. I attached links to a lactuca and a sonchus for reference. Both are pretty global weedy species.

Should I plant the wild flower fire weed into my garden?
i'm thinking of making a wildflower garden, since i have so many wildflowers around here. some of the flowers i am going to put in are wild sweetpea, browneyed suzies, daisys, buttercups, and about 7 more that but i don't know there names. I'd like to put in fire weed, so how can i, and should i? i'm thinking of maybe not putting it in the flower bed, but instead putting it in the forest (i live in the rural). because i don't want it to take over. how do i transplant it?
Should I plant the wild flower fire weed into my garden?
also called Great Willow Herb, or Wickup, perennial wildflower, in the evening primrose family (Onagraceae), abundant on newly clear and burned areas. Its spikes of whitish to magenta flowers, which grow up to 1.5 m (5 feet) high, can be a spectacular sight on prairies of the temperate zone. Like those of many weedy plants, its seeds can lie dormant for many years, awaiting the warmth necessary for germination.
