Why does my rose plant have a white film substance on it’s leaves and flowers?

Posted by admin on February 8th, 2010 and filed under rose flowers | 4 Comments »

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

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

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

local flowers in PETERBOROUGH ONTARIO in September for a wedding?

Posted by admin on February 8th, 2010 and filed under wedding flowers | 3 Comments »

I want to know what flowers are LOCAL (to Peterborough, Ontario CANADA), plentiful and in season in September?
I am getting married September 6, 2008, and I’d love to have hydrangeas for our wedding flowers, but if that isnt in season, I don’t want to ship in flowers— I want to use in season and local if at all possible… thanks!

I would say roses in your colors would be nice hope this helps.

how do you wire and tape silk flowers to put in a boquet?

Posted by admin on February 8th, 2010 and filed under silk flowers | 2 Comments »

i am familiar with wiring and taping fresh flowers for wedding boquets but not sure its the same with silk flowers

Since silk flowers already have wired stems, I guess you need to wire them to gain height or because the wires have come off. You have to buy thick florist wire and green florist tape. For added height, hold the wire tightly alongside the wire/stem of the flower, making sure there is enough of the new wire jutting out at the bottom. Holding the wires together, twirl the tape around both wires. As you twirl the tape, make sure to evenly cover the wires so they aren’t visible. Cut tape and press it down to secure it.If your silk flower has no wired stem, insert florist wire under the flower at the center. Bend it back into the flower in a hook to secure it. Then apply the tape as above.

Grass it taking over my flower bed, what can I do to get rid of it?

Posted by admin on February 8th, 2010 and filed under flower | 10 Comments »

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

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

I want to add some fresh flowers to a cake I made… how would I go about doing this? Do you have to wrap the stems in a food safe product? what is this product? or is this a bad idea all together?

Have you thought of making sugarpaste flowers. if not go to a Cake confectioners and buy them there.

What company should you trust your delivery of flowers, fruit, etc?

Posted by admin on February 8th, 2010 and filed under flowers delivery | 2 Comments »

If you picked edible arrangements, you are wrong. I called earlier today to have an arrangement delivered. They called my girlfriend to confirm and totally gave away the surprise. When I called to cancel the order, the owner did but promptly hung up on me before I could tell her my complaint. When I called back and asked for the corporate customer service number, she gave me a fake number. Use the little guy for whatever you can.

Are there florist who’ll deliver flowers with only having the recipients cell phone number?

Posted by admin on February 8th, 2010 and filed under deliver flowers | 1 Comment »


So…they’d have to call the cell phone to get the location of the person receiving the flowers?

If anyone called my cellphone with a ploy like that, I’d call the police immediately.

I don’t think so.
