There is a spae between the fence and the concrete of the driveway that would be perfet for a nice flower or moss Bed, But i am not real sure what type of flowers would look best.
What flowers go best as border for a driveway?
petunias ( have to replant every year)
impatiens( have to replant)
asylum ( have to replant)
hastas are great.. they are green and leafy.. they can reproduce and you can splint therm and move them to other areas.. but don't get colorful flowers...
portulaca ( have to replace every year) but it covers ground great and the flowers look like little rose bushes.. the good thing about these are the flowers are all different colors on each plant...
it all also depends on the placing of your area.. is it full sun? most of the replacing plants,,, are very cheap if you go to like walmart and get a flat of them.. the other good thing is that if you don't like them at the end of the year the die of and you can put something else there next year...
you can also put in Shasta Daisey.. they come back and this year i found at K mart.. an African Daisey they are with and on the end all dark purple.. the are very pretty... they come back....
you can also put down Begonias.. they are kinda pricey but get nice in sized and are very pretty....
good luck and happy gardening!
Reply:alyssum.....will grow anywhere under any conditions and smells wonderful,usually in whites,pinks,and purple shades
Reply:Does your driveway area get full sun or shade? If it gets sun then I would go with some Creeping Phlox, or aka Phlox Carpet. It's a very fast spreading perennial (which means it will come back every year) and it's low and compact. You dont want anything tall boardering your drive. It comes in blue, red, pink, or white. It can grow in full sun to even partail shade. Here's a link with pictures of it and where you could buy some. http://springhillnursery.com/search.asp?...
But this site can be a bit pricey, Lowes and Home Depot normally sell Phlox at a little better price. Now if your drive is more on the really shady side, I would plant Vinca, Evergreen. It's also a fast growing perennial and it has blue flowers during the spring to early summer. After the blooms are gone, you still have the dark green foliage. It tolerates even the worst soils and it's good in the shade, part shade, to full sun. Here's a link to it. http://springhillnursery.com/product.asp...
Good luck and hoped this gave you some ideas.
Reply:Go to a garden store and ask to see some Wandering Flock. Only grows a few inches tall but is thick and colorful, comes back every year, it spreads but you can trim it. Very nice. Also I like Sweet Alyssium.
Reply:Hosta for shady are, Daylilies for sunny area.
Reply:hostas can fill in, only buy one though because they can be divided and multiply every year. You can divide them over and over again. Find someone who has some, they would probably be happy to split them.

Is it ok to send flowers to girlfriend at her new workplace?
Basically I've never sent flowers to my girlfriend before. We've been together about 6 months. She starts a new job next week and I'm thinking of sending her some flowers. Is it ok to send them to her new place of work do you think or is that too soon? She won't even know her colleagues or anything so I'm not so sure.
Also, I'm not 100% sure what flowers she likes because she has never really struck me as someone in to that sort of thing but then all girls like flowers right?
Should I send some and if so, how do I go about finding out what ones she likes? Are red roses a winner every time?
Cheers!
Is it ok to send flowers to girlfriend at her new workplace?
why send flowers where she works in the first place when you can as easily give them to her after work yourself?
aside from a guesture to everyone emplyed there, that shes "my" girlfriend I dont see another need for it, especially since you are already going out 6 months now.
also its a new job, you would want to avoid making it more stressful for her... i wouldnt.. but thats just my humble opinion.
Reply:go ahead with your plan...you can also send her a tulips,or blue rose...your a one heck of a guy..your girlfriend is very luck for having you...
Reply:hey! that would be sweet. try to ask her friends about what flowers your girlfriend adores. goodluck dude!
Reply:ohhh it would be sweet of u! but, do it after she adjusts the new environment...
Reply:i think its a wonderful idea maybe ring the boss and see if its ok. caution if she is not into flowers maybe hayfever is the reason and her mum should know both the answer to that as well as her favorite blossoms. good luck with the job for her too.
Reply:It is never inappropriate to send flowers to your girlfriend, especially as a congratulatory gift on her new job. As far as what kind of flowers - personalize them! Look up her name on one of those baby name sites and see if it matches to either a specific type of flower or a color - I got lucky with my current interest, as her first and middle name translate to "beautiful lily". If that doesn't work, then yes, red roses are a winner every time. Although P.S. - no, not all girls like flowers. I used to work with a girl who did not like the flowers I sent her anonymously, so make sure she would appreciate them before plunking down fifty bucks.
Reply:Aww, very sweet. Well i would talk to her friends and see what kind of flowers she likes. Then i would leave it a couple of weeks so she can get to no some people, then you should.

What is the value of flowers?
what can flower mean?what is the moral value of the flowers? in wich occasion can it offered?can it replace words?wich words?is giving flowers is more significance than telling words?what flowers can reflect and express?and how can help us?
What is the value of flowers?
well flowers are an action and the onld proverb says actuons speak loudewr then words - the type of flower can also speak volumes -
if a man picks her favorite flower he really listens to her if he buys the kind she is allergic to (after she told him of the allergy) - he is not buying them for her to make her happy - he is buying them because he thinks he has to (maybe he did something wrong) and he is putting little thought into what she really want (or likes or is allergic to)
Reply:I think the value of flowers means "Temporary"
It will die soon, but if you know how to use it Temporary means good.
For example. honey comes from flowers,
flowers to be used as gift to make up or to cheer people up and so on.

Appropriate flowers for an Indian lady?
Hi, the guy who has been making some costumes for me has a wife (Indian Lady) who is very poorly and I would like to take her some flowers when I collect my costumes, what sort would be correct, as I know in British culture that certain flowers have particular meanings, eg red roses (love) white roses (eternity) Lillies for funerals etc etc and if there are similar traditions in India I would not like to upset her by giving her something inappropriate. so any suggestions please.

I love those exotic orchids usually come in bright pink or white and look very tropical. They are origanally from asia i think
i have one it was £10 they last much longer than cut flowers
Hope she gets well soon !
( moth orchid is the common name if you google it you can look at a pic the flower is stunning !!

Reply:I love Tulips %26amp; Daisies
Reply:Yes I love flowers. My favorite is one called a four o'clock. This flower is in a tubular shape for most of the day when it's closed but then in the afternoon at around 4 p.m. every day (if you have a lot of the flowers formed already for that day) they will open up. The face of the flower is shaped like a little star and they have a nice sweet smell to them. These flowers stay open all night long until early in the a.m. like around 7 a.m.
Here's a site where you can not only see some pictures of them but also read about a special tribute project:

Heed the rules of FTD.
Flowers on or after the first few dates: too much too soon, and reeking of desperation.
Flowers anytime after we've had sex: welcome, romantic, and thoughtful.
--------------------------------------...

My flower garden has formed a gel like substance around the base of some of the flowers. What could it be?
It has rained for a couple days and now some of the flowers have formed a clear, gel-like substance around the base of them. They look like clumps of crushed ice-cubes at first sight. It's very strange! Any ideas what this could be?
My flower garden has formed a gel like substance around the base of some of the flowers. What could it be?
could be snails. sprinkle snail pellets around the ground. works like a charm. snails love to eat lots of different kinds of flowers. also could be clusters of eggs of some kind of insect. keep an eye on the flowers. if they dont come to any harm from the alien blob hurray for you. i would watch it just to see what came out of it.
Reply:you could have a fungus perhaps watering at wrong time of the day, best to water at night or early am especially in the summer
Reply:sounds a lot like moisture crytals or water retaining gel to me. if you didn't use them at time of planting, its possible they were already in the pots when purchased.
Reply:If you or your gardener used a water retaining gel it is very possible that this is what you see. Dig it into the soil it will help in drought situations.
