Gift for more then a friend?
There is a girl, she and I have been wonderful friends for years, and I've always wished she was something more. Now we finally are.. sort of. We don't know what to call it yet, and she is on the other side of the country. We aren't exactly dating... but we aren't exactly not either. I've been wanting to send her a gift for a while.. I've been known to randomly ship off a box of cookies just to say "thinking of you" to my friends... but now I want to send her something special. At first I was going to send her a web cam because she wanted one anyways and then I could see her, but she doesn't want me to buy it for her (she can accept gifts, but not people buying her things she needs... I love that about her)
I'm tempted to send a box of chocolate covered strawberries... we were just talking about how we both love them. I wanted some sort of flower/fruit gift basket maybe that can have them and pomegranate, maybe even plums (all things we've talked about, she'd know it wasn't just some stock gift basket and it was made just for her. I also don't want to come on too strong... but this is things I would have sent her as just a friend, aswell. What would be a good gift, and do you know anywhere specific to order from? She lives in Las Vegas if that helps any.
Gift for more then a friend?
depends what you want to say. i would just be plain old fashioned and say it with roses.
Reply:Well, they say a picture is worth a million words! So, if you know some of her hobbies or passions you could surprise her with a nice little portrait made from a photo depicting exactly what or whom she likes. This can be done at http://www.paintyourlife.com for a reasonable fee and according to your specifications!
The same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. If you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, you can take a look at their 'stock on sale'. Visit http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.c...
Reply:Depending on what you can spend, I'd probably go buy some pralines, (sorry, Texas boy here,) in the stuff they use to line easter baskets, put a phone card on top of the pralines, and sandwich the card in place by placing a small stuffed animal on the phone card and using that pink wrap to sort of hold everything together before you pack it for shipping.
Best of luck,
D
Reply:Ya' want to do something really different . Buy her a dream catcher and send it to her .... it can catch all of her bad dreams at night and she will only have good dreams ...
Reply:I think flowers, chocolates and cards are cliched.
I was in a similar situation, and I wanted to do something different. so I sent my friend an entire book with photos of the two of us and places we had been to. She was really touched :)
check it out.. I think it would be perfect.

I’m an Asian living around other types of Asians, so I get a mix of stuff... I am Japanese with some Hmong descendent. And just remember, if I respect America’s taste, please respect mine. But now is the time for you to tell ur honest opinion. Speak it out! Thanks for sharing your true thoughts~
Do you think what I eat is weird?
I really like these foods . I am Japanese and I eat with Chinese friends, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Koreans too. I make my own special kim chee. My neighbor is good for fish sauce. My Mom's specialty is rice dishes, shrimp, scallops, and sushi. My sister is great in Thai cooking and India dishes. I wish I could eat with you sometime! Tonight we are having some Green Tea Cookies and Red Bean Ice Cream. I wish you could have some too! Best of luck to you!!
Reply:To me it sounds very disgusting but if that is what you like then enjoy it I can't tell you what you like just like you can't tell me what I like I have Cambodian friends and they eat some weird things but I don't judge them on/for it. It is up to you what you eat not me.......
Reply:man you should try fear factor you will rock at eating stuff,man i dont think a pig wold eat rotten eggs,i understand stuad and raw fish but rottens eggs!?
Reply:no i dont think its wierd i eat some of those stuff and people get really grossed out for some reason...i'm chinese and i LOVE dried squid=]
Reply:i only read 1/4 of your list, and yes, it's weird ^_^
Reply:Well, you are what you eat....do you have 8 arms?
Reply:to each their own..... lol
Reply:Wow. It sounds weird but most of it sounds pretty good.
Reply:In all honesty, most of it sounds really good. I really enjoy bean sprout soup, Korean BBQ tofu, and ginger. Actually, I am drinking green tea right now actually..
The few things that doesn't sound good to me is the Kim Chi (I've had it before, and NO THANKS), the fish heads (it's weird for me to eat anything when I can see its face) spoiled milk and spoiled egg.. that sounds like something you could get sick on, and I don't like to eat anything rotten..
But, I'm sure there are many things you would think I eat is weird.. have a great day!
Reply:Well to be honest I wouldn't eat about 85% of the things you named but I don't think it's weird, I just think we have different taste in foods.
Reply:Just sounds East Asian to me. I'd prolly skip over the rotten egg and spoiled milk (not liking cottage cheese). Oh, and the octopus; too rubbery! I was raised Southern on frog leggs, pig brains, and alligator sausage so I can't really tell anyone how gross their food is. I had a coworker from Burma and her food always smelled cajun to me. She told me I was a weird American. I tend to get that alot.
Reply:no rotten anything for me, no eyes,no bad milk, no raw meat of any kind for me. I watch at times a show where a man travels to many places and eats many strange things. Even though I myself wouldn't. I admire him. At one time he ate these sort of rotten eggs with like a small chicken with beak and all. I wouldn't. But admire the way he is able to do these strange things without flinching.
Reply:some of it, but not all.
Reply:I think it's weird that you took the time to list all of that...
Reply:thats not so bad... if you like it it does'nt matter what any one else thinks!!
i luv the food on your list i also eat lots of sticky rice with mango, and botan rice candy...and other stuff too...but im asian!!
i kinda have to admit rotten eggs R kinda gross! but if u like it!!
Reply:Looks like a lot of stuff my parents been feeding me...lol
Any idiots who are repulsed by this are just ignorant of people's culture.
Reply:It should not matter what we think, as long as you like what you eat.
I like some of them myself and some of them I have never heard of.
Reply:Yummy! :^ )
Reply:To make an intentional pun , de gustibus nihil disputandem (Latin: don't queston differerent folks' tastes). Or, in plain English, different strokes for different folks. Enjoy.
Reply:Not weird at all its just different from what we normally eat in America. In Mexico people eat weird stuff too.
Reply:Good for you.... you are one healthy person... I wouldn't be able to stomach half the stuff on your list...
Reply:Yea some of it's a little weird.
Reply:I cant even read ur list its making me feel sick.
Reply:I like some of the stuff you eat like, Shrimp snacks, Tempura, Curry Noodles, Tea, Rice Noodles and Salmon but I don't think I would like Fish heads and skin.
Reply:Thats interesting....I hope you eat pickles
Reply:Its not weird just interesting
Reply:The only thing I found was Pickled Plums, never Had them but everything else O.K.!!!!
Reply:You talk in circles -
besides, why do you need to know what other people think of your eats?
You haven't cared until now...with all respect of course.
Reply:just a little weird but I woud eat it, plus I do eat raw eggs and they are good, so is squid and sea food!
Reply:Do you think it's weird? It sounds to me like you feel weird and are uncomfortable and angry about it. You want us to prove you wrong, or else let you feel vindicated by our ignorance.
Pick your battles. Your food sounds healthy and fine.

I'm going to a Memorial Service for my friend's mom who passed away?
My friend's mom just died a week or 2 ago from cancer, and I'm attending the memorial service for her. I personally only met her once, but I'm good friends with her son.
I'm going with one of my friends and his family, who knew her very well, so I'm guessing that they are going to bring flowers or something.
I'm almost 14. I'm wearing a black pencil skirt, and a black cropped suit-jacket thing, with a dark plum colored tank top underneath, with black flats.
So, should I bring anything? Is what I'm wearing acceptable? What would be considered too flashy? How should I act?
Thanks.
I'm going to a Memorial Service for my friend's mom who passed away?
I think your outfit sounds fine unless it's actually a lot sexier than it seems...low cut top for example. Knee length is fine as well. If you are concerned and have something looser, go with that just to be safe.
Nobody will expect you to bring anything but you may if you wish. Keep it simple and not too bright.
As far as behaviour...quiet and demure is best if in doubt but feel free to take your lead from the family you are attending with.
All that being said...I've noticed that funerals are not the black affairs they used to be. Family often prefer to remember their loved one joyfully and with bright colours.
It might be wise to ask your friends what they are wearing just to confirm your dark choice.
You seem sensible and reasonable...I'm sure you'll know how to behave when you get there.
I've very sorry for your friend's loss.
Reply:What you are wearing sounds just right, and your mere presence is all you need to bring. You just "greet" the immediate family members and say you're so sorry about their "Mom", "wife", etc.
Reply:i am sorry to hear about your friends mom. what you are going to wear seems nice(just make sure its not too tight. that would be a bit inappropriate) and maybe making a small charitable donation to the American cancer society ( your parents might be willing to help you with that) in her name would be a nice gesture. when i was in the 9th grade my friends mom and my grandmother died of breast cancer and every year i raise money for the race for the cure.
Reply:Your outfit sounds tasteful and lovely. Sounds appropriate for a woman your age. Don't worry about flowers, the custom is to have an arrangement sent to the place of the memorial service ahead of time so bringing them could be awkward.
You're going for your friend, not his mom. So worry about him. His mother's problems are over.
As to how to act, don't draw attention to yourself. It's about the family, not about whether anyone thinks you're "acting" right. Don't insist on sitting with your friend unless invited to, don't cry loudly and hug on him unless he does first, don't draw attention to yourself in any way.
Don't you have a mother and/or father to tell you this sort of stuff?
Reply:The thing to keep in mind is that funerals are for the living, not the dead. Thus, I think it is great you will be there for your friend at this emotional time.
I'm not a fashion expert, but your attire seems appropriate for someone your age. In general, the acceptable dress code for funerals in our society is to dress in black, or dark colors as a sign of respect. After all, the service is meant to honor the deceased person, not have everyone stare at you in your red sequin dress, instead.
Also, how you conduct yourself during the service is equally (if not more) important. Express how you truly feel (if you don't know what to say, then say "I don't know what to say" and offer a hug, instead). It's best to be on your best behavior since the relatives of the deceased person are already upset enough. You seem concerned enough about doing the right thing at the memorial service that I think you'll do just fine.
A token gift is usually appreciated at a memorial service. Many people give flowers or potted plants. These may or may not be appreciated later (flowers wilt, potted plants need care). A condolence card with a short handwritten message inside may be the best thing for you in this situation. I like the suggest by another person that you make a charitable contribution to the American Cancer Society. This is a great idea.
Another idea is to suggest to your friend that you'd like to plant a tree in his mother's honor at a later date. Trees have spiritual significance in many faiths as symbols of life (this life or the afterlife). Additionally they're good for the environment, and can serve as a living memory for your friend that may last his whole life as well.
Reply:Your outfit seems fine, and you are not required to bring anything, except for a sincere desire to support your friend in his time of need. It would be comforting for your friend to know that you remember something nice about his mother, so try to think back to the one time you met her, and the impression she made on you. Perhaps you noticed how lovely she was, or how kindly she spoke to you, or even that she offered you some delicious little treat. Sharing a fond memory is usually the best comfort one can offer. Remember that "Memorial" means "To Remember". Conversations should not touch on subjects that would be disrespecful to her or her memory. If you feel like you should say something to your friend, express your regret that you did not have the opportunity to know her better, and encourage your friend to share some things about her that he loved best.
You'll be fine.
I'm going with one of my friends and his family, who knew her very well, so I'm guessing that they are going to bring flowers or something.
I'm almost 14. I'm wearing a black pencil skirt, and a black cropped suit-jacket thing, with a dark plum colored tank top underneath, with black flats.
So, should I bring anything? Is what I'm wearing acceptable? What would be considered too flashy? How should I act?
Thanks.
I'm going to a Memorial Service for my friend's mom who passed away?
I think your outfit sounds fine unless it's actually a lot sexier than it seems...low cut top for example. Knee length is fine as well. If you are concerned and have something looser, go with that just to be safe.
Nobody will expect you to bring anything but you may if you wish. Keep it simple and not too bright.
As far as behaviour...quiet and demure is best if in doubt but feel free to take your lead from the family you are attending with.
All that being said...I've noticed that funerals are not the black affairs they used to be. Family often prefer to remember their loved one joyfully and with bright colours.

Seeds of doubt, Do you like these?
From old readers digest
If you eat a toadstool and don`t die, it`s a mushroom
A prune is a plum that hasn`t taken care of itself
Seaweed is something you don`t want your neighbours to do when they look in your garden
A perennial is a flower that continues to live after it dies.
Do you know any more of these?

Yellow & purple wedding colors?
I have decided on a very fun wedding color scheme: yellow %26amp; plum. Here is an idea of the colors:
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4/Nik...
"Royalty" is my underlying theme. (I thought purple and yellow reminded me of a royalty type thing). But my question is, what flowers do you suggest for my colors? Nothing pale yellow or light purple please. I really like bright colors. I haven't seen any flowers I really like yet, except for calla lillies.
Also, what is your opinion on this wedding dress? It has CZ's on it (kinda of keeps up with the royalty theme with the 'diamonds' right?). My mama thinks it is 'slutty looking' cause its form-fitting.
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4/Nik...
Opinions? Advice?
Yellow %26amp; purple wedding colors?
How about purple irises? You can get them with yellow too:
http://www.proflowers.com/iris-flowers-I...
I agree with the ballgown-type dress, but it is your wedding, so choose whatever you feel like royalty in ;)
Reply:To feel more like royalty, you may want to consider more of a ballgown type wedding dress.

Love a girl that works at wal-mart in kimball,TN. and can't even talk when I get around her;WHY?
Met a girl when I first moved here;we were best friends till she got a divorce;I took her some flowers and gave her hug%26amp;kiss then when she went in her house to put them in water, I got scared plum goofy and left. WHY?
Love a girl that works at wal-mart in kimball,TN. and can't even talk when I get around her;WHY?
Did you think you couldn't live up to her expectations? Did you think "if she knew the real me, she would be disappointed?" Why don't you give her a chance to decide for herself what her feelings for you are? Try to make things easy for yourself. You started out fine by taking the flowers to her, giving her a hug and kiss......why didn't you stay around? It has something to do with low self-esteem, I think. You probably have a lot more going for yourself than you give yourself credit for.
Reply:You are probably scare to be rejected, but hey take it easy just relax and be yourself.
Reply:Maybe your not ready to take things to the next level. or maybe your just shy. Have you been making all the moves thus far, cauz if you have it sounds like your scared to see what kind of move she'll make. if you have made all the moves thus far i think your scared to see if she feels the same way. Try starting things out slow, let go of the kissing an just stick with the hugging an hanging out. Then when the time is right you guys will kiss an you will be able to be around her without being nervous or shy.

Please help me with essay..have to finish it in one hour????
It tells the story of four dissimilar women in post-World War I England who leave damp and rainy London to go on a holiday to a secluded coastal villa in Italy (Portofino). Two housewives, who belong to the same church but have never spoken, become acquainted. Each in her own way is suffering through an empty marriage and faces the prospect of a lonely and almost isolated middle age. After seeing a newspaper ad for a villa for rent on the Italian Riviera, the women set about finding two other ladies to share expenses. Joined by a beautiful young socialite and an elderly dowager, the four find rejuvenation in the tranquil beauty of their surroundings.
Much like the film this book by Elizabeth Von Arnim inspired, there is something peaceful here on these pages. This is a gentle novel about the gradual internal changes brought about by the beauty of our surroundings. It is a book that reads itself as much as it is read, the author writing with the flow of the character's thoughts and feelings as their hearts are changed by the surprise of beauty.
An ad to rent a castle in San Salvatore on the Italian Riviera will prompt two only slightly acquainted British women named Rose and Lottie to inexplically leave their husbands behind for a summer that will change their lives and their marriages forever.
Joining Rose and Lottie for this holiday is Mrs. Fisher, an older woman living in the past, and Lady Caroline Dester, a grey-eyed society beauty tired of being gawked at like a majestic statue, not allowed to be human. Diverse in nature and temperment, not to mention background, they interact uneasily together until the flowers and the sea bring about a change in their souls.
Surrounded by fig and olive trees, plum blossoms and Tamarisk daphnes, and the scents of fortune's yellow rose and blooming acacia, the women slowly find their roles at this castle by the sea and in doing so find themselves as well. New insights will prompt Rose and Lottie to send for their husbands. Lady Caroline, or 'Scrap' as she is known, will find love in spite of her wish to be alone and her great beauty. Mrs. Fisher will form a friendship with Lottie and her husband and discover a renewed zest for creativity in this heaven by the sea.
This is a novel about life and love, told gently through the emotions of these women, as the surprise of beauty and the warmth of being suddenly admired and seen as beautiful, when they had not been before, changes their simple lives, which were not so simple at all. You will definitely enjoy this novel if you enjoyed the lovely film it inspired.
A peaceful yet breathtaking portrait of love is painted by the author in a pleasing and gentle manner readers will fall in love with. A beautiful read on paper, or listened to unabridged with Nadia May reading. This is a book that refreshes the soul and calms the spirit. It is about love restored and love discovered, along the wistaria covered steps leading down to the sea.
Help please…I have to finish an essay by tonight…the essay question is…..show how small changes in an individual’s life or routine can influence changes in one’s outlook, mood or personality. Using evidence from the film support this statement..Basically the women completely let their minds slipp…and immerse themselves into the beauty of their surroundings…and a small change like this really changes their outlook, mood and personalities.
The four rent San Salvatore together, and immediately begin to change. Lotty loses her nervous demeanor, and becomes a self confident, mature woman. Rose blossoms when she realizes that she does possess beauty, and wins back the love of her formerly indifferent husband. Margaret thaws out and begins to smile and relax, even conversing with the other tenants, living in the present instead of the dusty past. And Caroline re-opens her heart to love and friendship by recognizing the emptiness of her life before she left for Italy.
So please help me with my essay as much as you can…give me ideas on how small changes in an individuals life or routine can influence changes in one’s outlook, mood or personality…also, try to relate this statement to the above information I gave you. Thanks….. I have to finish this in an hour…so please help me as much as you can THANKS

Help! I pruned my fruit trees, just like I do bushes, and now people are telling me I may have killed them!?
I just gained the responsibility of over 25 fruit trees. I was so excited to own so many different kinds... cherry, apple, plum, and, well... I don't even know what they all are!
I've pruned bushes a lot, and I love it, so I knew they needed pruning badly (they've been neglected for over five years) and I just got started as soon as I could... now I'm worried that I may have destroyed them.
I didn't know that there was any special kind of technique until I'd done several and someone asked me if I'd had any experience with fruit trees and it occurred to me that I'd better look into it.
I'm now feeling both ignorant AND stupid and I need some lengthy answers here, folks.
Not only did I do all of the necessary pruning in one shot, I also did it when they were flowering.
I have yet to find a website that tells me what to do to minimize the disaster now that I've already blew it, you know? Anyone have tons of experience with fruit trees? I need help!

Summer pruning produces different results from dormant pruning and can be used in the pome trees. Here are some sites to look over.

Help please…I have to finish an essay by tonight…the essay question is…..show how small changes in an individual’s life or routine can influence changes in one’s outlook, mood or personality.

Please help with essay..have to finish it on one hour???
the whole circle of her character was finally complete, the small seemingly meaningless act of an acquaintance had bridged the space between her religion, her family the education the books the gardens and the poetry, now it all came together and she looked out over land that on the train had seemed raw and broken and saw now all the colors and shades blending beautifully. .
It tells the story of four dissimilar women in post-World War I England who leave damp and rainy London to go on a holiday to a secluded coastal villa in Italy (Portofino). Two housewives, who belong to the same church but have never spoken, become acquainted. Each in her own way is suffering through an empty marriage and faces the prospect of a lonely and almost isolated middle age. After seeing a newspaper ad for a villa for rent on the Italian Riviera, the women set about finding two other ladies to share expenses. Joined by a beautiful young socialite and an elderly dowager, the four find rejuvenation in the tranquil beauty of their surroundings.
Much like the film this book by Elizabeth Von Arnim inspired, there is something peaceful here on these pages. This is a gentle novel about the gradual internal changes brought about by the beauty of our surroundings. It is a book that reads itself as much as it is read, the author writing with the flow of the character's thoughts and feelings as their hearts are changed by the surprise of beauty.
An ad to rent a castle in San Salvatore on the Italian Riviera will prompt two only slightly acquainted British women named Rose and Lottie to inexplically leave their husbands behind for a summer that will change their lives and their marriages forever.
Joining Rose and Lottie for this holiday is Mrs. Fisher, an older woman living in the past, and Lady Caroline Dester, a grey-eyed society beauty tired of being gawked at like a majestic statue, not allowed to be human. Diverse in nature and temperment, not to mention background, they interact uneasily together until the flowers and the sea bring about a change in their souls.
Surrounded by fig and olive trees, plum blossoms and Tamarisk daphnes, and the scents of fortune's yellow rose and blooming acacia, the women slowly find their roles at this castle by the sea and in doing so find themselves as well. New insights will prompt Rose and Lottie to send for their husbands. Lady Caroline, or 'Scrap' as she is known, will find love in spite of her wish to be alone and her great beauty. Mrs. Fisher will form a friendship with Lottie and her husband and discover a renewed zest for creativity in this heaven by the sea.

My question is should I have more lilac color in mine and the girls have more white in there bouquets? For us having lilac and silver should I also go with different color lilac, plum and purples in the bouquets or just use lilac?
Thanks in advance.

Reply:It doesnt matter who has more color.. just make sure yours is a little bit different than the rest. (Mine was just Bigger than the others, and had more detail!!)
Reply:I find that having an assortment of colors in a bouquet gives it character and is more natural. Flowers in nature aren't always uniform in color.
The bouquet I like best for the bride is the one with the most purple in it. I assume the bridesmaids are wearing lilac dresses, so the bouquet with the most white would look best for them. It's a nice contrast
Reply:My friend had her wedding with the same colors, they used silk flowers as well. They had white, the lilac purple and a darker purple for the flower colors, and the main color of the wedding was the lilac purple. I think if the girls are wearing purple you should have a little more white in their flowers, and more purple in yours since I am assuming you are wearing a white dress, this will help compliment the dresses rather than the flowers seeming like they are blending in to them too much. It's also always a nice touch to through a different shade of your main color in the flowers just to make the flowers "pop" a little more.
Reply:what i'm doing is im having a cascading bouquet with red and white roses...
the girls will be having a white bouquet with one red rose in the middle..
hope this helps! :) it all depends on how your comfortable doing it but this is just how I did mine.

I have a bush/tree that has red leaves, anyone know what it is?
It's one of the earliest plant/tree/bush that blooms every spring. When it buds out in spring, the leaves start out sort of pink, then turn to an extremely bright red, then eventually to a deep red or puple. It has thorny, hard branches that sprawl like a misquite tree. It produces a berry about the size of a grape that is about the same color as the tree. Birds won't even eat them, so I don't imagine they are edible. It is pretty old and about 8 or 10 feet tall, probably the same diameter. Beautiful tree and would like to know what it is to research transplanting. There are small ones that come up every year around it. I'm sure that it makes some sort of flower because it makes a fruit, but I never notice the flowers, so I don't think it is a Chinese plum tree. They make a white flower as far as I know and I would have noticed that.

Can any1 tell me how d u like my new poem?
after 'the death of autumn' i v tried 2 write another 1 about spring n i v tried my best 2 write in rhyme even though i like free verse. i m a frustrated writer actually n a hard core keatsian.do give honest comments.take care all
THE DANCE OF SPRING
The floral treasury is abundant again,
As the sun sobs no more,
Dying poppies, ghostly orange leaves
Seem forgotten tales of yore.
Spring’s sensuous smiles lure all the birds,
They celebrate the festive bower
Buzzing madly among the trees
The bees are working together.
Spring’s whispers confiding in the fruits
The juicy secrets to hide
Timid apples, cherries, plums and berries,
All fruits swell up with pride.
Spring’s sylph dances with dainty feet
Her steps make flowers grow more
Autumn’s sickly reign seems over again
Its rule threatens no more.
Can any1 tell me how d u like my new poem?
I live in the tropics where we do not experience spring but I like your poem as it makes spring come alive to me.It is a beautiful vivid description of the freshness and new life that spring brings. It makes me feel happy and wish i were there to see its beauty. Keep up with your gd writing.
Reply:they were really good and i definatly like the third to last part.
Reply:I like to a point, the bridge between wording is sloppy in places, well written though, easy to read, good work.
Reply:good job
Reply:I would say it is quite nice, but the rhythm doesn't really flow if you read it aloud. However, why is spring after autumn? Spring ---%26gt; summer ---%26gt; autumn ---%26gt; winter. Unless you're talking about a country with only 3 seasons.
Umm...The bees are working together. This line doesn't really follow the tense of the rest of the poem. It should be The bees work together. You notice the pattern in the rest of the poem? There's no is or are in front of verbs, it's all just the verbs itself.
I like the use of the first word being Spring's in each stanza other than the first one. :)

Is it okay if your husband calls other women personal names or am I just being paranoid?
I am uncomfortable with my husband calling other woman names like flower and petal to me its not right as I would not do it for me only my husband will have that priveledge, I guess it also has to do with the trust issues that have arisen again after he lied about something concerning his ex-girlfriend, did'nt expect it to happen after we got married,and after I worked so hard to put the past behind me and regain my trust in him. well other people call me names like love or babe or sugar but I don't do the same, I believe that you can still be nice minus the pet naming calling, just to add to it the woman that calls him sugar plum happens to be a flirtatious thing, I just think he should'nt be encouraging her, as much as he claims its nothing really,it could lead to something which I just could'nt deal with, cos I know how certain woman can be, it really depends on who you use personal names with i guess.Well for me it has always been about him. So am I just being paranoid?
Is it okay if your husband calls other women personal names or am I just being paranoid?
im the same i dont like my partner callin women names like honey or luv,i think it should be a personal thing and i only should be called them names,and some of the women he calls them names are flirtatious too,it annoys me and my blood boils,while some people might think its no harm,i hate it.your not bein paranoid,i feel the same.................x
Reply:I don't think you are being paranoid, it natural to feel a bit jealous. I wouldn't like it if my husband called any other woman honey or sweetheart, they are names for me only.
Actually, he usually calls most other women Doris!!
Reply:Sounds like your husband is a flirt. Respect is earned and given. Its never taken or forced. If he respects you tell him your loosing what respect you have for him. This might just make him consider his actions and treat you with the respect you deserve.
Reply:Your still worried about the past and you havent regained trust in him. The little pet names are a bit much if he loves you he would stop.
Reply:If this is really upsetting you, then he should respect your feelings %26amp; stop doing it. It's a small thing, but would give you peace of mind - so explain that to him. Then ask him nicely if he'll stop doing it. If he doesn't, you know there's a big problem, because then it's not just about him calling other women pet names, it's then about that he doesn't care how you feel in the situation.
Am I making sense? It's very longwinded, but anyway, good luck with this!
Reply:no i dont think what hes doin is ok..if my husband even thought that i would prob. have a cow..i would just tell him that it makes you mad and theres no reason for him to talk to them like that..i think thats just very disrespectful of him and if he gets upset with you after you tell him how you feel then that could be serious he should respect how it makes you feel ya know..
Reply:yes its ok
Reply:Not sure thats hard to say.I guess if it was me and a girl was calling my man names,I would confront her also and tell her there is no need for it.I wouldnt deal with it.And talk to him about it tell him it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Reply:I understand what you are saying. Did he just start doing this or has he always done it but now it just bothers you? As for him not encouraging that flirtatious thing, I'd agree with that too. Because an affair usually starts as "oh it's nothing". I don't want to freak you out by saying that but it's mostly true. I don't know what went on with his ex girlfriend and I'm not saying you are wrong either but go back over the incident and see if maybe your insecurities did help kick that into over drive. I don't know what he did and he my have been out of line but check your own motives first.
He sounds like he's willing to work on things so maybe some counseling is in order. Because he's your husband and it is, to a certain degree, his responsibility to help you through this. But don't sit and stew in things, move on from the pet name thing for now.
Just let things be for a while before you talk to him again, and try not to hold a grudge or punish him in some way. Like withholding sex, or something. Good Luck.

Reply:Once trust has been violated, if the person is truly, truly, truly remorseful the violator will do whatever is necessary to regain it. If the perpetrator is continuing the behavior which led to the cheating, lying, etc., the old saying is replayed in your head, once a cheater always a cheater. That is resonated in your mind along with his actions.
So, no you are not being paranoid, hubby is not doing all he can to regain your trust and seems to not really care as long as his ego is being stroked by these flirtatious hos and biatches. If it bothers you, regardless, whether its innocent blah blah, your hubby should stop it. He is disrespecting you, otherwise.

Which would you rather?
your lungs are full your fingers are limbered up, which would you rather play on your clarinet, Chassidic, Israeli Hora. Staccato, Waltz of The Flowers or perhaps the Sugar Plum Fairy?

Sorry, I'd pull out my old dogeared copy of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto instead. :-)

Sugar Plum Fairy definitely. Why hesitate to learn to play such a widely recognized piece.
Then Waltz of the Flowers
And for the expert player: Flight of the Bumblebee!

What to put with dress?
Ok, so I have a gorgeous dress for my summer ball - empire line, paisley, plum with gold threads running through it. It's quite hippyish. I can't decide what shoes or hair to go with it. I'm thinking hair: go with the hippy theme - flowers and plaits, but shoes? Can't really wear flats, but don't want to wear anything to high either. Any ideas, anybody?
What to put with dress?
Wedges! There are some rally cool beaded ones and today's styles don't look clumpy at all... I don't know if your hair is long or short, but if it is shoulder length or longer I would go for nice soft waves.. maybe put a flower in the side or a nice sparkly clip that matches the colours in your outfit. But don't overdo it with plaits and flowers and all kinds, it'll be too much, your dress sounds quite extravagant so I'd just keep it simple.
Reply:Whatever brings out the definition in your legs.
Reply:wear hair long and loose and no shoes or maybe some wedged espedrills then they dont have to be too high but arnt flat
Reply:Wear your hair long this is the hippy style and it will look really nice....Your shoes thats alittle harder....Did you think about going to a shoe store and asking their opinion,their suppose to know there stuff....It couldn't hurt....

Reply:Why don't you try a wedge shoe.. something strappy perhaps. The beauty is that you can get wedges at any height and it goes w/ the hippy thing.
Reply:Flip Flops
Reply:A shoe that is quite cute and might go with the style is something along the lines of a ballet slipper. I think it would loook cute with your dress, you can find them in so many colors andstyles. You can find ones that lace up your leg, kinda sexy, you can find ones with flowers and other decorations, or you can even spice up some plain ones with decorations that match your dress. It's not EXACTLY the hippy style, but I think it would go together. You can tie in the whole outfit by doing your hair along the same theme as your shoes. I'm not sure where you live, but check on the internet where you can buy these shoes. They're pretty popular in Europe right now and iI haven't been to North America in a while, so not sure if you can find them there, though I would imagine that you can.
If you don't like this idea, or can't find them, just try finding a shoe that you like and spice it up yourself. Then you'll be sure that no one else has the same shoe and you can be proud to know that you did it! And it will look great with your hair, dress, everything. Most of all, have a great time!!!*
Good Luck!
Reply:oooo
hippie theme - probably ballet slippers, though there are shoes with a small heel (called a kitten heel) if you want a little bit of height.
Reply:platforms and a g string to under the dress for comfort and your hair get hair extensions
Reply:If you're short, platforms will be a good choice. It'll add height to your frame and matches the hippy theme.
If you're tall, you may want to go for wedges or 2 other options: something with plum or gold crochet on it or something really strappy.
Reply:A cute pair of plain flip-flops should be fine or you can go all out hippie: bare feet!!!
Reply:I would suggest wedges with the laces that tie around the legs and ankles

Reply:Why don't you try a wedge shoe.. something strappy perhaps. The beauty is that you can get wedges at any height and it goes w/ the hippy thing.
Reply:Flip Flops
Reply:A shoe that is quite cute and might go with the style is something along the lines of a ballet slipper. I think it would loook cute with your dress, you can find them in so many colors andstyles. You can find ones that lace up your leg, kinda sexy, you can find ones with flowers and other decorations, or you can even spice up some plain ones with decorations that match your dress. It's not EXACTLY the hippy style, but I think it would go together. You can tie in the whole outfit by doing your hair along the same theme as your shoes. I'm not sure where you live, but check on the internet where you can buy these shoes. They're pretty popular in Europe right now and iI haven't been to North America in a while, so not sure if you can find them there, though I would imagine that you can.
If you don't like this idea, or can't find them, just try finding a shoe that you like and spice it up yourself. Then you'll be sure that no one else has the same shoe and you can be proud to know that you did it! And it will look great with your hair, dress, everything. Most of all, have a great time!!!*
Good Luck!
Reply:oooo
hippie theme - probably ballet slippers, though there are shoes with a small heel (called a kitten heel) if you want a little bit of height.
Reply:platforms and a g string to under the dress for comfort and your hair get hair extensions
Reply:If you're short, platforms will be a good choice. It'll add height to your frame and matches the hippy theme.
If you're tall, you may want to go for wedges or 2 other options: something with plum or gold crochet on it or something really strappy.
Reply:A cute pair of plain flip-flops should be fine or you can go all out hippie: bare feet!!!
Reply:I would suggest wedges with the laces that tie around the legs and ankles

Painting my living room?
ok I know this is mostly just a case of opinion, but any ideas would be great!!! my living room in long and sorta narrow sorry I don't have the excact measurements,, right now it's a very boring off white, (military housing if that helps any) my funiture is flora with navy blue base,, the flowers are gold, maroon, and some greens not much. I want to do the walls in a similure gold, but one wall accented with the marron color kinda a plum,, but I am not sure which wall to paint the darker color? we usually have the house set up, so they enterainment center is at the far end on one of the short walls? would that be the best wall for the darker paint?? that's what I am thinking,, also,, should I leave the trim the off while or would that be a good place to put like another accent color like green?
Thanks
Painting my living room?
The great thing about decorating....as far as I am concerned is that I think rules are made to be broken. I painted my living room RED last year and alot of my friends said..."NO!!!!! don't do it but I did it anyway....and they all loved it. So I think that creativity is what you need to incorporate here because if you have a feeling about a color or a certain look than go with it....the worst thing that can happen is that you might have to repaint a wall...but you will learn by your mistakes. And you just might learn that you are very talented in the the field of interior decoration.
Reply:Behind the couch use the lighter color. Behind the entertainment system, use the darker. I was also thinking of like a lighter green also.
Reply:red
Reply:how about brown?
Reply:Do what you want, it's your house. Whatever color you want, go for it.
Reply:Use the darker color on one short wall and on the trim. Go get color samples at a paint store and make sure the colors you have in mind will work together.
Reply:I would go with a nice soft yellow gold......then use the hot colors like plum, reds to maroon for accent colors.....always leave the woodwork white...also the ceiling....leave white. You can find accents in throw blankets, pics on the wall, pillows, etc. Try to get at least 3 patterns in a room ..ex. furniture is flora......add a small check somewhere......stripes or simple simple plaid....
Reply:IF YOUR ENTERTAINMENT CENTER IS LARGE OR TALL, DO NOT MAKE THAT THE FOCAL WALL. yOU WONT BE ABLE TO SEE IT. i WOULD SUGGEST YOU PAINT THE WALL BEHIND YOUR COUCH.
Reply:get to the local Home Depot get some color samples also try painting a four inch border at the top of the wall near the ceiling with the other color that you paint the entertainment center wall color
good luck
Reply:The smaller wall is best for a darker shade as it makes the room smaller to the eye..I would use a 3 rd color on the trim such a brown shade..since that will coordinate with the maroon %26amp; gold your using..

Need your ideas PLEASE!!?
Hi, i am in need of some fresh and different ideas to finish my garden. I hope you can understand my explanation of what i have done so far...My garden is 26ft x 19ft, From the back door there is a semi-circle which is 11ft wide x 6ft, then surrounding that is a larger semi-circle which is 19ft wide x 10ft. Both semi-circles are edged in charcoal pavers and filled with plum slate (20mm in small, 40mm in large). At the bottom end there is a shed and kids play area which covers 19ft wide x 7ft. The problem is the middle area, about 19ft x 9ft. I don't want a lawn, i want something interesting and different with a dark feeling, i'm using mostly white flowering plants. Also it needs to be quite cheap and fairly easy. In the play area i've got bark but the dog keeps eating it. The soil is clay, very hard to dig. Please help i've had 8 weeks of thinking due to broken foot and all i come up with is a headache. Thanks in advance. Any ideas welcome.
Need your ideas PLEASE!!?
In California nurseries, anyway, you can get all kinds of ground covers that work in a wide variety of soils. I had one area next to my house (about a 20 ft X 2 ft strip) that was left over from a room addition there. The soil was very clayey (yes that's a word) in some places and nearly solid decomposed granite in others. I ended up getting this creeping ground cover with dark green oval leaves (about 1-1/2 inches long) that puts out little pink clover-like flowers. It stays low to the ground and grows like a weed.
But, I did have to amend the soil first. For clay soils, you need to get a bag of gypsum powder (sold at home improvement stores), sprinkle it on top of the soil, and water it in with a fine spray so it doesn't wash away. Repeat this every week or so for about a month. You'll be shocked and amazed at how easily that clay soil breaks up.
You may also consider putting in rock garden plants. These are succulents that spread out and stay low. Since they are succulents, they don't require much water, and they can take full sun to partial shade. They also produce a variety of really cool little flowers in various shapes and colors, depending on the type of plant you get.

Reply:i liked the secret garden idea, but why not go a bit further, you dont mention climate but presuming your not in the north of scotland what about a tropical / jungle theme.I'm thinking bamboos for height and sound, maybe the big gunnera plants if you have a damp area and then underplant with ferns and hostas. One or two big plants can really work. Also the jungle theme can be long lasting and it will give height and interest from april right through to october and then you'll need to take care and protect anything tender. your clay soil just needs loads of well rotted manure. whenever I plant anything in my heavy clay put a handful or gravel at the bottom of the planting hole.
The other thing is the white garden theme is very difficult to pull off on a domestic scale, i've tried, it can seem a little bland. why not try to play with the leaf colour and texture of your plants? this can make a bit impact, and be fairly low maintenance with planning. check out jpparker online they have great plants. Also buy small plants now and grow on for a year if you have space it can save you loads. Good luck i hope it turns out just the way you want!

Rose Family
About 70 genera of the rose family are cultivated for food, ornament, flowers, timber, or other uses. Although worldwide in distribution, the family is most abundant in north temperate regions and contains many of the most important fruit trees grown in temperate areas. These include apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry, apricot, almond, nectarine, prune, loquat, and quince. The rambling, usually thorny raspberry, blackberry, and dewberry, or loganberry, are members of a genus of the rose family that also includes the common bramble. The strawberry is also a member of the family. In addition the family contains many important ornamentals: chokeberry, cinquefoil, hawthorn, shadbush, cotoneaster, firethorn, flowering cherry, flowering quince, and mountain ash.

I have a wedding coming up and i need help with flowers!?
I have a wedding coming up in July and my colors are Cream, Plum and Hunter Green! I'm having a hard time with flowers do i stick with roses? Do they have plum and cream roses? Any ideas pics or links to good websites would be much appreciated! Thanks so much!
I have a wedding coming up and i need help with flowers!?
There are beautifu lcream colored roses out there..talk to your florist and see what they can get in..is it a more purple plum or reddish..what color are the dresses. Lizzianthus is also great in boquets..it's caled the poor mans rose and comes in pink, white and purple.you get several on a stem so their a good value for the $$. Your best bet is to go into the florist and talk to them and see picts of actual flowers.
Reply:I don't know your budget, but I love your colours. Those are the ones I have chosen for my entire house. What I would do is : for all arrangements, have the florist use cream coloured/plum coloured ribbon, hunter green foliage, and a flower which will add contrast, thus giving some depth to the colour scheme .....
Reply:Roses come in almost all colors, tho the cream colored ones will be more yellowish.

Pecan trees in my backyard?
Someone gifted me 2 stuart pecan seedlings (about 1+ foot long) I don't know much about these but have heard I need a huge area. I have some garden space (about 1500sqft) where I already have a few fruit trees, veg garden and flower garden. How good are these trees cohabiting with other trees like apple, apricot, plum, citrus, and pommegranate.
Thanks,
Pecan trees in my backyard?
Hello,, You will need a pretty large area. Stuarts make a fairly large tree when full grown. I have stuarts and paper shell pecans, in my grove. I also have apple, pears and plum. They all do just fine together. And I know you didn't ask,, but when you get ready to fertilize,, go by the shade they put off,, spread your fertilizer around where the shade from the trees ends. Good luck with your pecans.

Chinese Flowers of Honor?
Why do the chinese like plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum?
Chinese Flowers of Honor?
They are symbols in their culture. I have included sites that explain some of the symbols. Hope this helps.
Bamboo is one of the four favorite plants along with Chinese plum, orchid and chrysanthemum, the so-called Four Men of Honor (Si4 Jun1 Zi3) by the Chinese. The characters of the four plants are highly admired by the Chinese people so they want to be just like the four plants.

In Chinese cuisine: Would someone please tell me when you use Lychee Tea?
I love it either warm or iced, but how do Chinese people use it?
Other questions, please:
When do you drink plum wine? What do you serve with it?
When do you use kumquat ... candied or fresh??
Do you ever serve jam for toast the way we do here in the West?
What kind of fruit is it made of?
Do Chinese people have herb tea? (not ginsing....) but flower tea?
Thank you in advance
Peace %26amp; Love
In Chinese cuisine: Would someone please tell me when you use Lychee Tea?
I have never tasted Chinese Lychee Tea, but floral %26amp; fruit flavored tea are usually drank in summer. Lychee is believe to help those who has trouble relaxing or sleeping at night. Most floral tea are prepared in 70-80 degree water to preserve the scent. Rock candy (sugar crystals) is used instead of sugar.
Plum wine is Japanese or Korean. I remember a Korean brand that markets to women. They claim that the wine helps women reduce stress hormone. Some people like to drink a glass after bathing at night for relaxation.
Kumquat is a orange-like citric fruit. I know some people who pickle it with salt until it's brown. The juice is a remedy for sore throat. (doesn't work for me and taste terrible)
Not much jam until the west introduce to us. I think that's because we didn't have the need to preserve easily spoiled berries.
Chinese have all kinds of herb tea. Jasmine and Chrysanthemum tea are the most popular ones. Some use honey to sweeten it. Cold sweetened Chrysanthemum tea are sold in juicebox form.
Foral %26amp; fruit tea are often served in clear glass to display its beautiful colour. Also because it's not as hot. Other Chinese tea are almost never drank sweet.

As you can see, they are not completely green but have a purple tint. I was going to go with a Plum tree but I'm not completely sure and I also need the Scientific name. Plus, on some websites, they say that Plum trees grow flowers (which I dont remember ever seeing flowers on my tree).
What type of tree is this?
Prunus cerasifera
Purple Leaf plum I believe

Another question about wedding colors...?
Wedding colors seems to be the most popular question on here =)
Anyway, I was considering one of two color choices:
#1 lt.blue or aqua dresses w/deep plum flowers
OR
#2 lt.green (sage or moss) dresses w/bright blue %26amp; purple flowers.
While I Love the 1st choice because it is soo bright %26amp; eyecatching, I am afraid it may be tacky if done wrong.
My fiance prefers the 2nd choice.
When I was @the shop I bought my weddng dress at, the woman helping me warned me that although green is a popular color right now, many people don't look good in it ~ it brings out a lot of yellow in their skin. She said dk. green looks Ok on most people, but not the lighter shades.
Has anyone experienced this? Or have you chosed green b/c you like the color then regretted it when seeing in on your maids?
Another question about wedding colors...?
I think either color scheme would be very pretty.
Every color has shades that are harder for some people to wear than others. It's true that forest green is more flattering to more skin tones than sage...but if your bridesmaids look good in sage, then have them wear sage. Try it on them and see if it works or not.
Also, wonders can be done with skillful makeup. It won't change skintones, but careful highlighting can sometimes make a color that's otherwise marginal on a woman look fantastic.
Oh, and I don't see anything the least bit tacky about light blue with plum. In fact, I think it's a lovely combination. But if you're on the fence between two color schemes, and he has a strong definite opinion...then why not let him have his choice? After all, it's his wedding, too.
Reply:i like both moss green and blue, those are my colors! u will look great, good luck and god bless!
Reply:I think the first one sounds good - go with a very light blue with the deep plum. The great thing about plum is that it compliments alot of different colors.
Reply:I think the green %26amp; blue is the better option but the shop official was right with her warning. I suggest trying a site where you re create you entire look with your skin tone to get a preview of what to expect. Also talk to your brides maid and get their opinion ( the final choice is yours) as it nevers hurts to involve the people you have to subject to actually wearing the colours you choose.
Reply:I wanted to go with the Aqua as well. But I ended up in a lighter blue color. I think you would like that one better, but you may want to add some soft pink to the flowers to help bring out the color of the other flowers and the dresses. Take a look on the knot and david's bridal. THey have thoses colors on there and it will help you choose what you want.
Reply:Go to the Home Depot and pull out paint chips in the colors you are thinking about. Add things you already know like a gray chip for his suit. Decide with your HTB which ones you like best after seeing them in person.
You should do this anyway because having a set of "wedding chips" really comes in handy because you can take them shopping with you or give to vendors any time you want to color match or see if something looks good with the colors you've chosen.
I think you should go with #2 since thats what HTB likes...its his wedding too :) You could always put the ladies in purple and have blue and green flowers (some green orchids and hydrangeas are stunnning and very unique)
Reply:My maids wore a light green and looked very beautiful. All of the women guests came up to me and said they were the most beautiful bridesmaid dresses they had ever seen. I would go with a dark rose or mauve over blue and purple. Pinks, peaches and lavenders are the best with sage.

Do ornamental plums/cherries produce any fruit at all?
They are created by plant breeders to bloom beautifully in the spring, but I understand they don't produce fruit. So the flowers just shrivel up and that's it? Not even little, tiny fruit? That seems weird to me. If anyone has these trees, what have you seen?
Do ornamental plums/cherries produce any fruit at all?
They all produce fruit but it is either very small, or aborted before getting big enough to see. Even if the fruit were larger, it would be inedible.
Reply:No you will never receive edible fruits from ornamental trees.
Reply:Pretty blooms and lots of mess but I dearly love them anyway because they are the first of spring. :-)
Reply:no they will somtimes produce a small round thing that never develops into fruit but just falls off
Reply:Not that you would want to eat. That is why they are called ornamental. They are for show, not eating of their fruits. Some may have some very small thing you could call fruit but not normally.
Reply:I have seen some very small fruit on flowering crab trees, they are not edible. Our flowering Almond is very pretty in full bloom but no fruit.
These trees are grown for their looks, not for the fruit.

What am I doing wrong?
I bought a miniture plum tree in the spring, it's in a large pot on the patio. It flowered profusely and its produced 10 fruit, they are golf ball size and very hard, trouble is, they have started to drop off. I've been giving it a general feed and watering it regularly. Will the fruit ever be edible?
What am I doing wrong?
First of all, its too early in the year for ripe fruit, probably September or October will be right.
I don't know where you are but, hight above sea level and northern areas that have colder summers both effect ripening times.
Reply:Get some Miracle Grow Feed in the soil maybe 2-3 times per week...(check the directions on the back of the bottle)...Miracle Grow is miraculous.
I'd say within 2 weeks of using it, the fruit will be ready.
It sounds to me like the soil is just not producing enough vitamins and minerals for the fruit to go any further than what you say they are. I think the miracle grow with not only strengthen the limbs/branches/leaves and such, but it'll also strengthen the fruit itself so it can continue to grow instead of just fall off unripened.
Reply:yeah. the tree has to get bigger and stronger. I think you should feed it and water it just a little more. that might help. becouse the tree eats the water and just gives a little to the fruit i think...
Reply:Biggest potted tree problems (other than feed/water) is room. Make sure it has LOTS of room for the roots. Have sturdy 'flatbed' with sides built on strong wheels. Have the largest pot this tree will ever need on it with your tree in it.
Root room %26amp; time.

Looking for suggestions for a garden themed wedding...?
My fiance and I are going to get married in my grandfathers backyard, but I do not want a typical outdoor, barbecue type wedding. We are going to have a caterer, bartender, etc. I would like to got with a "Garden of Eden" theme and use dark red flowers, apples, plums, and other greens to create a sensual atmosphere. What else should I think about doing in order to keep a good mood? We plan on putting up lanterns, lots of candles, and fresh flowers. Any suggestions would help!
Looking for suggestions for a garden themed wedding...?
sounds like you have a lot of good ideas already! I'm also planning a garden reception, so I will be watching the answers you get :+)
good luck- it sounds beautiful
Reply:Lots of cool snakes. Can't wait to have you post pics of you and your groom in fig leaves! Just joshin'!!!
It would be nice to have a gazebo or arbour of some sort - maybe that can be rented. Otherwise, an archway or trellis with vines and flowers would really add to the atmosphere. Sounds like a lovely idea! Good luck.
Reply:One neat idea I've seen done uses apples to hold the table numbers. Print out cards with the numbers and adhere to a stick to place in the apple. It's a cute idea that certainly ties into your theme.
Reply:Garden of eden sounds great! You can go to your local home %26amp; garden store %26amp; pick up some topiaries, add some clear lights, that always looks elegant. If you'll be renting a tent, decorate the inside with chiffon %26amp; lights. Just be sure to keep the candles away from any falling leaves that may catch on fire. Lanterns can be used to light a walkway/pathway to the reception area. Tea lights are great. Look for long burning tea lights or votives. You can rent pillars %26amp; decorate with chiffon %26amp; lights, add a nice ivy %26amp; twig arrangement, it will give it a great garden feeling. Hope you get your garden of eden for your big day! :)

What is this tree?

What is this tree?
My guess is the Camphor Tree ( Cinnamomum camphora ).

Do passion flowers grow seeds?
Do passion flowers grow seeds as in the actual flower the stem on our flower have produced a green like plum which contain white seeds
Do passion flowers grow seeds?
The Green pod that you described as a plum is the seed pod--this will dry if left on the vine and will burst out letting new seeds into the ground for the next upcoming year--
We have some of these vines and really enjoy their blooms--
You can harvest these pods yourself and plant in a specific place once the pod dries split open to plant the seeds-
MAKE SURE YOU LET THEM DRY OUT FIRST__
Reply:leave the pod on another month and eat them saving one for the seed

Why, out of 15 plants, did I only get 2 pumpkins??
Hi, this was my first year growing pumpkins and it has not gone well! Despite many many flowers, I only have 2 pumpkins. There were at least 8 that got to the size of a plum before turning brown/ yellow and falling off. Why is this? They were watered through the hot june/ july and august was so wet I didnt need to water. I thought maybe more would appear september time, but no more to be seen. Where did I go wrong?
Why, out of 15 plants, did I only get 2 pumpkins??
Pollination. Pumkins will grow to about 2-3 inches and die if they weren't pollinated. Bees are the main pollinator. My neighbor thought he was being nice and sprayed a bug-repellant yard spray over the fence when he treated his yard. I didn't have bees on my pumpkins for 3 weeks.
If you're REALLY diligent, get a small paintbrush or pipecleaner and pull pollen out of the male flowers (long narrow stems) and then pollinate the female flowers (short round stems) by hand. It's a pain, but if you don't have bees - that's your only real sollution.
Reply:Further to the pollination - it's much easier just to break off the male flower and remove the petal, leaving just the stamen and go about fertilising the female flowers with it - the paintbrush thing is way too fiddly and as only female flowers turn into fruit - the male flowers are no loss.
Reply:Sounds like maybe a deficiency disease or fungal disease was causing them to die before they ripened. But your overall problem I believe was they did not get pollinated. Many of our pollinators like honeybees are in short supply because we've killed them off when we kill the mosquitoes. Next year try to pollinate them yourself or go to a L%26amp;G Center and get Blossom Set (it fakes the flower into thinking it's been pollinated and makes a fruit).
Reply:I had 50 squash plants out and I only got a few squash. we had a lack of rain earlier in the season. I don't use fertilizer either. I am going to put manure on this fall and hope for better next year.
Reply:give em beer, appranlty a pint a day makes em grow huge!
Reply:Pumkins given the room are massive plants, 1 plant if healthy will take up several m2, some peaple grow them on compost heaps and they love the over the top richness of that growing medium and the extra heat produced from the rotting matter. I have found that using chicken poo (bought from a nursery in usefull buckets) works a treat. you did the right thing keeping them moist as a dry spell will knock a plant back and the yeild will suffer. Good luck next year.
Reply:Too many flowers aren't necessarily a good thing. You should pick some of the flowers off. The plant will yield bigger and better pumpkins when it isn't trying share the nutrients. Also pumpkin plants are very large, maybe the plants are to close to one another.

I have a tree in my backyard that i was told is a plumless tree by my grandmother.?
In the early spring the tree grows really pretty pink flowers. All of a sudden last year it started growing little plums on it and this year the same that are not very big maybe a bit bigger then a grape. Is there such a think as a plumless tree? What type of tree is this
I have a tree in my backyard that i was told is a plumless tree by my grandmother.?
Oh! You have an ornamental plum. It is grown for the blossom and he bark color and things of that nature. That does not mean that it won't make plums if conditions are right, it just has not been bred to make eating plums so they will be small and probably not taste good. They will never compare to the ones in the store, but they are still little plums and wildlife would never know the difference.
Reply:Plumless is might be a word made up by her, or it could be a brand name.
That is to say, there are many trees in the plum/cherry/apricot/pear family that bloom sweetly and very early in the year for anything at all to bloom. Some are bred specially to be for earliness, their length of blooms and showiness and fragrance, and not for setting lots of fruit or tasty fruit. Somebody could have bred a flowering plum and called their particular hybrid 'Plumless'.
It's also possible, since plums grown from seed are variable, that it was grown from the pit of a tasty, fruit-bearing plum variety, but this particular tree simply isn't a spectacular scion of the tree it came from. (Or it could be taking a while to reach maturity, but if your grandmother has been watching it for years, probably not.) In that case, your grandmother is dead-on.
Not all flowering drupes have been completely convinced by hybridizers to quit producing fruit, and if a tree like this nevertheless has spectacular flowers, they get sold as flower-trees anyways. So if you have a beehive nearby, or the tree is just being happy, it will attempt to do it's fruit-tree-thing, and set small fruits. These typically don't really ripen, or if they do, they aren't all that tasty or big.
If you don't think they will get eatable, you can strengthen the tree by picking them off.
