The Place I Once Call Home
Every once in a while, I find myself proudly reminiscing about Afao, which is a village in American Samoa that I once call home. The sparkling white sandy beach stretches from western side to the eastern side of the village. On the west side is an ugly rundown historical building, which used to be a school for girls, called Atauloma School. In the center of the village sits a small brick bus stop where the friendly kids play, and the overwhelming adults enjoy the view of the splendid blue ocean. The colorful gardens full of gorgeous tropical flowers in front of the clean houses fill the air with elegant scents. The shadows of the tall coconut trees dance as the cool wind passes through the leaves. The sound of the roaring waves and the rustling wind will break the dead silence in a quiet afternoon. Towards the east side is a gigantic mango tree where curious teenagers climb to get the ripe mangoes for snack. Inside the village you will find various tropical fruits such as papayas, passion fruits, coconuts, mangoes, and bananas. Unlike some of the neighboring villages, Afao still perform the true traditional values and exercise evening curfews. It is a fairly small village where everyone knows everyone. I will never forget Afao, the place I once called home.
Please edit my Descriptive Paragraph?
A couple changes/suggestions in brackets [ ] . Not sure what you mean by 'overwhelming adults' so I don't have a suggestion there. Sounds like a beautiful place.

What's your ideal wedding?
Mine is getting married by the ocean or somewhere tropical. Chairs on both side with tropical flowers leaves along the aisels. All the guests would have a "lay or whatever u call those hawaii necklace". It'll have my future husband and my name written on it.
Then for our rings, on his would be my name, and on mine would be his name, both with the date we got married. What would your ideal wedding be like?
What's your ideal wedding?
We are planning ours at the moment. We are thinking of a simple ceremony, were we arrive in horse %26amp; carriage (we have show carriage horses, so it's a love of ours). After the ceremony, I'd like to leave in a hot air balloon (something that lucky for us, is available locally), and we would be dropped down in a paddock somewhere close the the reception where we will have photographs taken. The reception will only be small - around 30 guests.....the focus will be on fine food, wine and music for the rest of the evening....and when we have had enough celebrating, we will be wisked away in a helicopter for the evening.....
Those are our thoughts this week anyway - they are forever changing!!! Lol

Reply:My ideal wedding for myself?
I'd love an outdoor wedding in late spring so the weather is still cool enough during midday that my guests won't roast to death. Have a morning ceremony with my closest friends and family there, no more than 30 people. The decorations would be simple, to compliment the green scenery. My wedding party would be dressed in sage, champagne, and ivory. No flowers but white orchids (the first flowers my boyfriend ever gave me) and the rest of the arrangements done in ivy.
I want my ceremony to sweet, simple, and filled with the love and humor that makes life with my loved one so great.
A light brunch followed with sparkling juice and fruity desserts, followed by an afternoon to chat with my family and relax before heading out to our honeymoon, be where it may. If I could, most everything would be organic and my favors would be donations to an environmental society.

Should I get another tattoo?
So.I was debating if I should get a small tattoo on my lower stomach by my bikini line so in the summer time I could show it off when wearing my bikini, I already have a small tropical flower on my lower back..and was thinking about maybe a small heart...for the next one...
what do u guys think? would that be attractive at all? or not?..
hmm
Should I get another tattoo?
the fact that you say you want to get a tattoo "so in the summer time you can show it off when wearing a bikini" is the absolute wrong reason to get a tattoo. also, you should keep your tattoos out of the sun as much as possible as the harmful UV rays break down the ink and destroy your tattoo.
so if you are wanting to get a tattoo to be cute and show it off i'll say, no. don't get one because it just validates the stereotype that girls thoughtlessly get ridiculous tattoos so guys will notice them while there are those of us who are constantly having to try to disprove the stereotype that you are helping to continue.
Reply:Hmm well i think that would be a good idea you should make it probably as small as a quarter though because otherwise it would just look bulky and tacky. BTW i love the idea of a tropical flower on your lower back sounds so cute!!!!!! Well anyways i hope my advice helped and that if you end up getting it I hope it looks amazing! :)
Reply:don get it for those reasons...cute, show off in the summer....a tattoo is a part of the person....not to impress others....
Reply:Well one thing I did think of was this...and yes, I have a tattoo...if you haven't had a baby yet, this area does stretch out significantly when you get pregnant - and you run the risk of distorting the tattoo if it's in that location in the future if you decide to have children.
Just a thought....
Reply:no more
Reply:nope... tatoos are un attractive
Reply:Tattoos are a form of expression. You are ALLOWED to step out of the 10 inch box that most people live in. I have two tattoos. One on my foot and one on my shoulderblade. They are in places that if i want to show people i can. Same with your tattoo It can only be seen if you want it to. I think getting a tattoo there is really cute. It will stretch a small amount in the future if you ever decide to get prego but who cares. Its your body so do what you want. I think tattoos are awesome so yes get another one.
Reply:Go for broke. Get Poseidon rising out of the sea with a dragon wrapped around him. On your back get the U.S.S. MISSOURI under way.
Reply:You shouldn't even have gotten the first one.
Reply:Well if you are still debating with yourself then definately wait.
Some very good points already made. I have never been one to like cute tattoos or get them for those reasons. My tattoos are such a part of me and my personality, planned and thought about for a long time before getting them. Make sure you get what you want for you and you alone :)
Reply:WHO CARES!!!???? IF YOU WANT IT, GET IT!!!! Any guy who won't like you because you have tattoos isn't worth your time, any dern way! Right or wrong? Have fun.
Reply:no
Reply:no cus they could get infected .
And if u have 1 then ur with it 4 life unless u want lazer sergary

Help with editing?
im 14, and i just had a very basic assignment to write a SHORT descriptive 3 paragraph descriptive writing. im a little stuck on how i should end it, and also do u have any editing ideas?
The moment that I stepped off of the airplane I was happily overwhelmed by the humid air, and the stunning tropical flowers. As we drove to our vacation cottage I could hardly noticed the huge resorts and the countless tourists. I was coming to the realization that I defiantly wasn’t in Alaska, but a place far more captivating.
I spent practically all of my time at the beach trying to absorb the sunlight, which I hadn’t done much of living in Alaska. When resting at the beach with my toes in the sand, I loved how content, warm, and free my mind felt. The sky was mostly cloudless, except when the mystic island decided to surprise us with a heavy rain. Within minutes of a downpour everything would become luscious and green again, and vibrant rainbows would appear in every valley.

This is a really good essay for a 14 year old. Below I have an updated version for you that has been edited. I changed very little of the context of the story...mainly grammatical corrections.
The moment that I stepped off the plane; I was giddy, happily overwhelmed by the humid air and stunning tropical flowers. As we drove to our vacation cottage, I hardly noticed the towering resorts and the sea of faceless tourists. I began to realize that I was no longer in Alaska, but a place far more vibrant.
I spent every waking moment on the beach bathed in a shower of sunlight. I had not done much of this while living in Alaska. While resting on the beach with my toes covered in sand, I loved how content, warm and free my mind felt. The sky was a cloudless blue, except when the mystic island decided to surprise me with a heavy rain. Within minutes, everything would become luscious and green again. Like magic, these vibrant rainbows would appear in every valley. I had finally found my little paradise.
I put that last sentence on your essay to cap your second paragraph. I think the essay sets a great mood. You give the reader a sense of joy and pleasure b/c that's what the scene and mood evokes. Something that could really make an impact on the reader is if you use your last paragraph to turn the mood completely around. Everything so far has been nice and bubbly and joyous and pleasant (like a fantasy world). With your last paragrah, you should bring the reader back to reality. For example, while you're lying there content and in bliss, all of a sudden -boink- a beach ball smacks you in the head. You look up and see your pesky little brother with a malicious grin on his face. And you realize that this vacation isn't going to be any different from the other vacation you've taken b/c as always your brother has spoiled the mood. (or it could be your little sister, cousin, whatever). I think you know where I'm going with this. And keep writing. It was really good.
Reply:An Island so exotic and vibrant. I could just free yourself in amongst it. I could bask in the sun kissed salty beach forever. Not a flaw to be found. Every spot of the islang is so unique. It was beautiful. It was____.
i dont know what island it was so fill in the blank :] good luck!!
Reply:I think it is good but did a few changes in the second paragraph what do you think? I spent practically all of my time bathing in the warm rays of sun at the beach, trying to absorb the sunlight and develop a beautiful golden tan, which I was unable to do back home in the freezing cold of Alaska. When resting at the beach with my toes curled underneath the soft grains of sand, I loved how content, and free my mind felt.
The sky was mostly clear with maybe one or two fluffy white clouds in the distance, suddenly the mystic island decided to surprise us with a heavy yet still humid type of rain,rapidly it all happened and what seemed like forever lasted minutes.happy were the songs of the birds nearby,as they enjoyed the vibrant rainbows that glowed above in the tall trees it was beautiful!
Reply:A couple of suggestions:
The moment that I stepped off of the airplane I was happily [remove happily] overwhelmed by the humid air, [remove the comma] and the stunning tropical flowers. As we drove to our vacation cottage I could [remove could] hardly noticed the huge resorts and the countless tourists. I was coming to the realization that I defiantly [I think you mean "definitely"] wasn’t in Alaska, but a place far more captivating.

Maybe your third paragraph could describe your emotions at how you felt having to leave paradise (assuming you have).
Reply:First some editing remarks:
In the first paragraph, you have a couple issues with commas: "The moment that I stepped off of the airplane I was happily overwhelmed by the humid air and the stunning tropical flowers." [No comma before 'and' because you are 'overwhelmed' by both the air and the flowers - those are equal. You might want to put one after 'airplane,' however, so that there's a pause in the sentence.] Your second sentence has a grammar problem that you can fix pretty easily; just take out 'could' so that it says "...I hardly noticed..." Also, think about putting that sentence together with the next one (join them with a semi-colon) so that we know /why/ you 'hardly noticed' everything around you; you could leave it as is, which would suggest that the 'humid air' and 'tropical flowers' are the cause. Third sentence - 'defiantly' should be 'definitely' and you probably want to say "I definitely wasn't in Alaska anymore" - adding that word would tell readers immediately why you're contrasting Alaska with the place that you're talking about and give some background with very little effort.
The first sentence of the second paragraph is kind of awkward because of the combination of clauses at the end of the sentence. Try rewording it after the comma ("...sunlight,..."), perhaps: "a novelty after living in Alaska," "a rare occurrence for a native of Alaska," "a particular treat for someone coming from Alaska," or "since we see so little of the sun in Alaska." Mix and match. (Keep in mind that you might not need the comma depending on what kind of wording you use, or a semicolon might be better - read it out loud to yourself and see what kind of pause you need and where.) In the third sentence, I would suggest a couple minor changes, for example, you might want to say "except when the weather on the mystic island" so that the weather is causing the rain, not the island, and also "surprise us with heavy rain" - take out the 'a' which suggests that it only happened once, even though the next sentence makes it sound as if it happened multiple times. Otherwise, those sentences look good.
For a final paragraph you can go a few different directions (or a combination): talk about what you liked most, talk about being back wherever you are and what you miss most, talk about the trip back (or at least up to boarding the airplane home - if you ended with boarding the airplane, it would make a kind of frame for your piece, beginning and ending more or less the same way), or talk about what you want to do if/when you go back. Feel free to do something else, of course, but I hope this gives you some ideas.

Reply:An Island so exotic and vibrant. I could just free yourself in amongst it. I could bask in the sun kissed salty beach forever. Not a flaw to be found. Every spot of the islang is so unique. It was beautiful. It was____.
i dont know what island it was so fill in the blank :] good luck!!
Reply:I think it is good but did a few changes in the second paragraph what do you think? I spent practically all of my time bathing in the warm rays of sun at the beach, trying to absorb the sunlight and develop a beautiful golden tan, which I was unable to do back home in the freezing cold of Alaska. When resting at the beach with my toes curled underneath the soft grains of sand, I loved how content, and free my mind felt.
The sky was mostly clear with maybe one or two fluffy white clouds in the distance, suddenly the mystic island decided to surprise us with a heavy yet still humid type of rain,rapidly it all happened and what seemed like forever lasted minutes.happy were the songs of the birds nearby,as they enjoyed the vibrant rainbows that glowed above in the tall trees it was beautiful!
Reply:A couple of suggestions:
The moment that I stepped off of the airplane I was happily [remove happily] overwhelmed by the humid air, [remove the comma] and the stunning tropical flowers. As we drove to our vacation cottage I could [remove could] hardly noticed the huge resorts and the countless tourists. I was coming to the realization that I defiantly [I think you mean "definitely"] wasn’t in Alaska, but a place far more captivating.
I spent practically all of my time at the beach trying to absorb the sunlight, which I hadn’t done much of living in Alaska. When resting at the beach with my toes in the sand, I loved how content, warm, and free my mind felt. The sky was mostly cloudless, except when the mystic island decided to surprise us with a heavy rain. Within minutes of a downpour everything would become luscious and green again, and vibrant rainbows would appear in every valley.
Maybe your third paragraph could describe your emotions at how you felt having to leave paradise (assuming you have).
Reply:First some editing remarks:
In the first paragraph, you have a couple issues with commas: "The moment that I stepped off of the airplane I was happily overwhelmed by the humid air and the stunning tropical flowers." [No comma before 'and' because you are 'overwhelmed' by both the air and the flowers - those are equal. You might want to put one after 'airplane,' however, so that there's a pause in the sentence.] Your second sentence has a grammar problem that you can fix pretty easily; just take out 'could' so that it says "...I hardly noticed..." Also, think about putting that sentence together with the next one (join them with a semi-colon) so that we know /why/ you 'hardly noticed' everything around you; you could leave it as is, which would suggest that the 'humid air' and 'tropical flowers' are the cause. Third sentence - 'defiantly' should be 'definitely' and you probably want to say "I definitely wasn't in Alaska anymore" - adding that word would tell readers immediately why you're contrasting Alaska with the place that you're talking about and give some background with very little effort.
The first sentence of the second paragraph is kind of awkward because of the combination of clauses at the end of the sentence. Try rewording it after the comma ("...sunlight,..."), perhaps: "a novelty after living in Alaska," "a rare occurrence for a native of Alaska," "a particular treat for someone coming from Alaska," or "since we see so little of the sun in Alaska." Mix and match. (Keep in mind that you might not need the comma depending on what kind of wording you use, or a semicolon might be better - read it out loud to yourself and see what kind of pause you need and where.) In the third sentence, I would suggest a couple minor changes, for example, you might want to say "except when the weather on the mystic island" so that the weather is causing the rain, not the island, and also "surprise us with heavy rain" - take out the 'a' which suggests that it only happened once, even though the next sentence makes it sound as if it happened multiple times. Otherwise, those sentences look good.
For a final paragraph you can go a few different directions (or a combination): talk about what you liked most, talk about being back wherever you are and what you miss most, talk about the trip back (or at least up to boarding the airplane home - if you ended with boarding the airplane, it would make a kind of frame for your piece, beginning and ending more or less the same way), or talk about what you want to do if/when you go back. Feel free to do something else, of course, but I hope this gives you some ideas.
Uncluttering and redecorating my bedroom?
i have a high up bed a full.
with a dark hot pink with light pink tropical flowers and these tropical light orange, yellow and ivory leafs comming off of the flower.
i have this canopy: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product....
a mini plasma on my wall. a normal closet. two medium sized windows. a big dresser and mirror. a big jelery box thing. and a night stand. and wodden floors.
its a small room.
but my room is veryyyy cluttered with clothes and junk. its not decorate. not cute and my own. i still want to decorate it after i unclutter it. but i dont wanna make it look cluttered!

im 15 yrs old and a girl btw. :]
Uncluttering and redecorating my bedroom?
try to reorganize your closet so that you can store stuff in there. also, get the under the bed storge bins too. you can also get cool shelve bins for the walls.
Reply:get those plastic boxes that keep almost everything in them...
or go here.. http://www.spacesavers.com/
Reply:First of all your bed is beautiful and a dream!! It sounds like you have plenty of storage space -- you just haven't organized it and used it to the best possible space for you. Secondly you need motivation to keep things cleaned up once you declutter.
Let's start by trying to declutter...absolutely everything that is not a family heirloom that you haven't used in the last six months HAS GOT TO GO!!! Any clothes that you haven't worn in the last 4 months except for specialty items like ski boots, etc should be donated NOW. It will make a real difference to someone else's life and the small bit you would receive from a resale shop won't make that big of a difference in yours.
Next, look around you -- at your shelves and walls -- is your artwork outdated? or is it just not you? get rid of it.
Empty space CAN be a good thing if it is carefully planned. I prefer my counters to be totally clear in the kitchen. It just makes the room (which is extremely small) look much bigger and brighter.
I can remember how my mother had knick-knacks all over the place, how long it took to dust them all and to remove them and dust the surface they sat upon.
I admire the fact that you realize at such a young age that clutter can be quite uncomfortable.
Reply:Get rid of what you don't need, but then we all have those things we love so invest in wall shelves and baskets that fit. You can put your favorite things in each deep basket. The plastic lidded bins that fit under the bed are an excellent idea.

You could get some of those organizer things that go in your closet from Target.
They also have bookshelves.
And you can get really cute baskets to store different things in.
I have a shelf in my room.
It really helps keep my room organized.
I hope that this helped you.
Reply:I would suggest going through all your stuff and maybe get rid of some of it, stuff you dont use anymore, or dont realy need ,or maybe you have just grown out of it and donate it that could take care of the clutter. As far as making the room look bigger accent with alot of white it brightens it up to make it look bigger and maybe put some stuff in totes and slide them under your bed thats what i do with all my shoes.

Another bouquet question...please help!?
I am having a beach wedding in Kauai and I cannot find a pic of the bouquet I have in mind. I have to use yellow roses in it b/c they were my fiance's mothers favorite flower and she has passed away. I will be wearing a coral colored sash with my dress, so coral and yellow have to be in the bouquet and I was thinking a dark pink too. I want to include tropical flowers and was thinking of a red ginger flower to incorporate native flowers and the dark pink. Below is a link to a picture of the colors I was thinking about for my bouquet as well as a picture of a red ginger flower b/c most people don't know what one is. If anyone can find a bouquet using these colors and those flowers or similar, will you please post the link???

Reply:I was in Hawaii in August and I'm here to tell you, there is no Aloha there. The people in Hawaii are not very nice, the place reminds me alot of NJ only with red ginger flowers growing everywhere. So, I'm not surprised you aren't getting any help. I think the only way you're going to get any help is to go through your hotel concierge. If you aren't staying in one of the high end hotels, try calling the Four Seasons concierge and ask them to recommend a florist. Personally I'm not sure that ginger flowers and roses would look right together. I think something coral colored with ginger flowers would look good and I think something coarl colored with yellow flowers would look good. I'm not so sure about all 3 together. You should be able to get one ginger flower somewhere in Ohio. Try calling some florists and see if they have any or could get you one. Then you can put all 3 things together. Good luck with your search.

What tree (wild) has jagged leaves grouped in threes?
I have a flower bed in front of my house and this tree has grown just out of no where, almost from underneath the house. It looks kind of tropical, but the leaves look like they might be poisonous. Could it possibly be poison oak or something like that? The leaves are grouped in 3's and they are jagged.
What tree (wild) has jagged leaves grouped in threes?
Check the pics of Box Elder at the link. Box Elder usually has leaves divided into 5 parts but juveniles might only have them in 3s.
Reply:Souds like a box elder tree but can't be sure without more info.
Reply:well, first you want to be sure that it's a tree. Poison Ivy, especially when young, can throw up woody shoots a foot or so high. Other possibilities can include a compound-leaved maple relative called Box-Elder, or Blackberry or Raspberry varieties (but they'll have thorns on the stem, of course). If it's growing like a tree, then I'd be inclined to go with Box-Elder (although where you live might have something to say about that). Look for green shoots and branches. If you're not sure whether it's poison ivy, pick off a leaf cluster using a plastic bag or such and take it to an agricultural agent or a landscaper or such to look at. Most people who spend a lot of time in the outdoors (including Boy Scouts, hunters and field biologists) know how to tell poison ivy.

Noticed in the grocery shop that there's cereals now with johnny depp on them for Pirates. Buy some and stuff.
Dave Barry also has a book "So you want to be a Pirate". check it out for more ideas as well and have fuN!
How about a scavenger hunt game thing?
Really cool idea btw, since i'ts so close to Halloween, I'm sure you can get more Pirate type ideas from a halloween themed store as well. Happy birthday!
Reply:Cute ideas - I would make a sheet cake and decorate it like a treasure chest - and used all sorts of candies as the jewels on top.
Also - fish net is really cheap and would be cute as table cloth and also to drape over things. Shells as serving dishes would be cute. You could make a virgin rum drink - using a tropical fruit flavored mixer and instead of adding rum - add rum extract (buy in the baking section of grocery store) - they make great drinks!
I would buy some cheap material and tear it up to make sashes or head wraps for everyone to wear. Eye patches - make them out of black craft foam and stapled stretchy cord. Toy pirate swords would be fun. Set up a wooden plank to see who will walk the plank.
Also WalMart sells a pirates of the carribean dice game - like they played in the movie - it comes with four gnarly looking dice cups and skeletal looking dice. It would be fun to play. Chocolate coins for betting would be fun too.
You can get pirate hooks - like 12 for 5.00 from Oriental trading company - go on line to get a catelog or order! Happy birtyday!

What kind of shampoo do you girls use?
does it smell good?
im looking for something like its fruity / tropical/ flower-ey? lol
What kind of shampoo do you girls use?
Garnier, definitely. And for my skin, I love Breezy Beach Wear's new line of real fruit bath bars! The Coco Nutty is to die for!
http://www.breezybeachwear.com
Reply:I use whatever is available. Mostly, I use whatever shampoo I, or my mother has collected from hotels or samples from the sites, a couple it with Garnier Fructis conditioner, that I got at Walgreens, free after rebate. However, I do use a Suave Professionals that I like well (shampoo and conditioner) and I like Dove, but it's expensive. (I'm using a bottle that I got awhile ago, on sale with double coupons for only $1; I have two bottles waiting after that.)
I guess I'm at an age/stage in my life where I don't care as much. I know what will usually look good (i.e., the Suave, the Dove and usually White Rain with the GF; I also have some GF shampoo/conditioner), and save those for when I do want to look good. However, I just use whatever is avaliable. If I don't like the way my hair looks, it goes into a ponytail.
Reply:I use Pantene Restoratives and it smells really good but anything from Pantene smells good!
Reply:Welllllll...my personal favorite is Pantene Pro-V formula. Ir's amazing to make your hair silky and thick. But if your looking for an absolutely to-die-for tropical smell I deffinitly reccomend Garnier Fructis. Truth is though, they're both quite expensive compared to suave and other brands.
Reply:i like suave. it just has a nice clean smell 2 it.
Reply:Pantene Pro V Smooth and Sleek, smells good 2!
Also Sunsilk for an better smell, but it doen'st work as good. use it once in a while. good luck and thanks for reading.
Reply:I usually go with biosilk (love it) and the products that go along with it. Its good if you use heat to style your hair.
I also use the new sunsilk. Its cheaper and work well against frizz.

They smell like what you want, plus great for the hair.
I also use TRESEMME which is amazing too, but it's not the tropical smell u want, but it's still yummy!!!
Reply:pantene ice shine smells o so delicious!!!.....lol, but it smells like a tropical drink or something. i don't use it because my hair needs deeper treatment cuz of dryness, but my mom bought it just to try it out and i can't stop smelling the stuff. just go to the store and open it and take a wiff. if u like it buy it. also aussie products smell really tropical and good too!

Forcing Tulip bulbs to bloom year after year in a non tulip zone?
I bought some Darwin tulip bulbs last October in Dallas, Tx and I brought them to my tropical country and I forced them to start blooming right in this month. I putted them in the fridge for 3 months and now I planted them in a big pot that can accomodate them well. 18 of 20 bulbs grew and already 4 are producing flowers.
I want know if I can keep doing this year after year, and what is the perfect way to make them bloom well and profusely? I want to know the total procedure in order to avoid any mistake. I heard that you have to leave all leaves until they get dry then you can take them from the soil and repeat the sequence.
Thanks to everybody!!

Forcing Tulip bulbs to bloom year after year in a non tulip zone?
I live in Australia and most people have to do what you did with tulips to grow them well here. If you leave them in the ground permanently they grow oddly, stunted and the flower stalk is a lot shorter.
After the chilling in the fridge (yes every year), which they need to duplicate the conditions in their natural environment, plant. When the bulbs start to emerge from the ground, use a good quality bulb food at the recommended rates. Remember the health of the plant during the growing period, effects the bulb, and the bulb stores energy for next year. A healthy plant this year ensures good flowering next year.
Do not remove the leaves, they are feeding the bulb, let them die down naturally
Reply:Yes you still will have to do the refrigerator thing. Your wife may tire of bulbs in the fridge for so much of the year!
Try the types of tulip that are labeled "perennial tulips", or a different type that are labeled "species tulips". They return better in warm climates. Some bulb suppliers note in their catalogs which species tulips are better adapted to warmer winters, and I would definitely recommend sticking with their advice if trying to produce nice tulips again and again.
Reply:You have to buy new bulbs every year. Once a bulb has been forced, it doesn't alway bloom the next year.

Help with purchacing wedding supplies!?
I am getting married in July and I would like to know where a good place is to buy wedding supplies. I want to save money, so my budget is tight. I would like to find a nice place to buy tropical flower arrangements and bouquets. Someone please help me, becuase I need to buy this stuff before it's too late! Thanks!
Help with purchacing wedding supplies!?
Ebay is a top choice of mine. I've found a lot of items them. Also, other top places are dollar stores, craft stores (i.e. Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michael's and Pat Catans). Try asking around on the Knot.com forums. People have used all different places to purchase items for the weddings. I know I have ordered from some places they suggested and had great results.
Places like Jo-Ann and Michael's always have 40%-50% off coupons in the newspaper and online. So that helps you save too. I bought over 100 artificial flowers for center pieces at Pat Catan's. I had to go to 2 or 3 stores to get all I needed, but at 65 cents and 75 cents a piece I am able to make some nice floral arrangements. At first I didn't want artificial flowers, but after seeing some of them and the prices of live floral arrangements, I changed my mind. There are a lot of artificial flowers that look real (but keep in mind, the more real they look, the higher price they can be.) The ones I am using look nice even though they were so cheap. I am putting them in silver julep cups which I got from a wholesale place.
Reply:Ebay was quite helpful to me when I was planning my wedding. Congratulations and best wishes.

Reply:If you have a Garden Ridge craft store nearby, go there. They have an entire section of crafts and accessories dedicated to weddings and they are really cost effective. It's a huge chain and should be easy to find on the internet.

I'm wondering what the name of a certain tropical tree is.?
The tree is used to attract butterflies and has long, bright pink, "finger-like" flowers.
I'm wondering what the name of a certain tropical tree is.?
Yep, could be the butterfly bush, or buddleia (Buddleia davidii). The flowers can also be blue, white or purple.
You often see it growing wild alongside railways or roads / wasteground. It came from China originally.

Making my own Artifical Bouquets?
I want to make my own artifical bouquets... But i want brilliant blues and teals.... can you die the artifical flowers? or is there any sites i can pick out my own one by one i prefeer tropical flowers hibiscus or roses .... help would be great thanx!
Making my own Artifical Bouquets?
Use a water-based floral spray paint on any flowers made of a porous fabric. Water-based floral paints are not toxic or flammable like regular spray paints, and they don't make the silk stiff, as many other paints do. If you are buying flowers specifically to paint them, look for the low-cost white petals rather than the more expensive colored ones.
Steps:
Shake the can of paint for one minute, then spray each flower lightly. If the color is too intense, spray the wet paint with water to dilute it.
Let each flower dry for 30 minutes, or use a hair dryer for faster results.
To add a second color to the edges of the petals, spray the paint into a pan or bowl, and dip the edges of the petals into it. To soften the color, spray the flower with water.
Reply:Most craft stores offer a wide variety of colorful silk flowers. It would save a lot of time on your wedding date, and the flowers won't wilt or die!

check out this place. they have great artificial flowers they will make for you and its not that expensive. they email you what your order looks like before they ship it so you know what your getting.
Reply:Google it you can find anything that way. You might also want to check with craft stores in your area even check with Wal-Mart, some of them have a large artificial flower selection. Also remember that if you don't see it in the store that does not mean that they can not order a special kind or color for you.

Let each flower dry for 30 minutes, or use a hair dryer for faster results.
To add a second color to the edges of the petals, spray the paint into a pan or bowl, and dip the edges of the petals into it. To soften the color, spray the flower with water.

I think some of them you have to buy more than one stem, but you'll probably need more than one anyways.
Reply:hobby lobby!! or try a craft store or even ebay. good luck and congrats!

check out this place. they have great artificial flowers they will make for you and its not that expensive. they email you what your order looks like before they ship it so you know what your getting.
Reply:Google it you can find anything that way. You might also want to check with craft stores in your area even check with Wal-Mart, some of them have a large artificial flower selection. Also remember that if you don't see it in the store that does not mean that they can not order a special kind or color for you.

Another poem of mine - any comment/critique?
I accidently posted this under the wrong category - it should have been here.
Creole
O Woman, I look at your beauty
Your skin..... of ebony color
Moist with sweat, glittering much
Like silk, like velvet
Is to my masters touch.
I look at your body
The forms of your figure
So perfect, so fine....
Down to your hips
I see you all bare
I gaze and I mumble.....
I see you don't mind
My ill restrained trembling
My wondrous stare.
I look at your face
Your fine curved lips
And murmur your name....
Like Mother-of-Pearl
Unreal seems the shine
That fathomless shimmer
In your eyes
In the light
Of the flickering flame.
To the music you dance
Small beads of sweat
pearl down your face
For - the rhythm so throbbing
Had quickened its pace
You turn in closes circles
My senses are captured....
Ever so flowing
Your body is swaying
Moving with uttermost grace.
You woman, beautiful woman
Proud as you are....
You still are eluding
So innocent, simple
The way you do smile
The ring of your giggles
Like music your name.....
You really don't care
You do not feel shame.
But your expressions, gestures
I feel are conveying
Sweet secrets you
They tell without words
What cannot be told......
Your heart, ageless and free
It has touched my soul
I see - it is prone
I know it gave something
For not anymore
I feel so alone.
That night I was happy
One with the music
The Earth - your beautiful song
The fragrance of tropical flowers
The rhythmical stomping of feet
The heavy moist air
Vibrating to the drummers
All powerful beat.
From far off lands I came to you
A restless mind in youthful vigor
Woman of mysterious nature
That other part of mine......
To seek adventure, leave behind
The boredom, dead end routines
The fancy heaps of useless glitter!
One principle in pride pursued
The precious freedom I do treasure
Confronted by desire, pleasure....
I wonder how.... again is waning?
To share there is a price to pay -
And so is there for failing
Your woman's inborn magic art
Again this time it has subdued
Has overcome my shield and guard.
For untold lifetimes I am learning....
That painful search before and after
When passions rise from glowing embers
Then light up bright and die-off burning
Thus leaving puffs of hazy smoke
The cloudy nature of this yearning
That sting of sweet intoxication
Which.... flashy burst of wisdom hint
In moments of rare revelation
Between those states of sweetened weakness
Are nothing but the bitter fruit
Of falsified indoctrination
Created life...... imagination.
I suffered, learned, enriched my soul
Received what I could find
I found you on the way my friend
On which there is no end in time
.... In search of peace of mind.
O woman - knowing and so sure
As long as we are different
In body, mind (and) what drapes the soul
Unless we both are one
Against your charm there is no cure!

What is this plant?
We moved into a new house and there are some bushes in our front yard that we can't figure out what they are. At first we thought they were rosebushes, but they are not. The wood and stems look like that of rose bushes, but there are no thorns. The leaves are a dark glossy green, they look a little like holly leaves, just smaller. We live in Utah, and the bushes are planted in full sun. Our neighbors said that when the people that lived here before put them in last year, that the bushes were beautiful, with tropical looking flowers, but that the day after they planted them the deer came and ate them at night. So now they look like a poodle's fur does with patches of leaves then bare stems and more patches of leaves. They haven't gotten any flowers yet. I don't know if the deer are still eating them and that is why they don't seem to be filling in or what. But if anyone has any idea what they could be please let me know. I have looked and haven't found anything. Thanks!

Buy and gun and kill those deer.

What materials do you like that are from the 1920's,1930's ,1940's,and 1950's?
I love the huge flowered prints...some for the recliners,and rugs, and other ideas....now they use them for purses...I think that they are very tropical looking and really beautiful! I only have small pieces of them, thru a grandparent..who passed away! But, I love 'em! I have a feeling that I must have lived another life in that time era, or something...because that stuff is really beautiful and classy to me! LOL!
What materials do you like that are from the 1920's,1930's ,1940's,and 1950's?
Almost anything to do with a kitchen from the 30's and 40's. I love egg-beaters with red wooden handles. Enamelware pots, colanders, cups, bowls and storage tins. I love Fiestaware too! Black and white tile kitchen floors. The boomerang design on kitchen tables and countertops. The 50's-style kitchen table with the metal edging around it and vinyl chairs (especially red!) Home-made curtains with a frilly edge on the windows. Salt and pepper shakers that look like hens and roosters. Glass milk bottles. Shiny chrome and brightly colored small appliances, like a Kitchenaid stand mixer.
Ahhh, a trip down memory lane in my grandmother's kitchen ~ Thank you!
Reply:From those eras, I especially enjoy old books. The oldest one I do own is from 1885. I also have several hand-painted with watercolors, post cards that could be pre-dated to the 20's or 30's. I have them in an album. My friend is 91 years old, and passed them down to me since he has no family. We also had an old collection of 78's and 45's, which were records made to play on old windup radios/stereos with the big horn at the end. My sister also has a very old Singer sewing machine with the kick pump on the bottom. I like antiques, but mostly books, magazines, and post cards. Oh, I forgot...In California, I went into this empty Victorian home by myself. I went to the basement. On the shelf I found an old San Francisco newspaper with the headlines: GOERRING CHEATS DEATH, with a photo of Herrman Goering after he had committed suicide in prison. It was dated in 1947.

Mixture for germinating seeds?
I live in a remote area (tropical) and am having trouble germinating some flower seeds. I have available a fairly good topsoil, sand, and a composted mix sold in bags.
What is the best proportion of these that will give me the best results?
Mixture for germinating seeds?
I don't think topsoil is good for germinating seeds cause it can cause fungus.
For germinating seeds, you will need 1/3 pearlite, 1/3 vermiculate, and 1/3 Peat Moss (Canadian Sphagnum)
Reply:This works well for most seeds,
1/4 corse sand, 1/4 peat moss, 1/4 vermiculite, 1/4 perlite.
also use a heating mat to provide even heating of the soil. keep the soil evenly moist, and give either sun light or artificial light as some seeds need light to germinate. also, some seeds don't need buried, check your seed packet, many flower seeds need sprinkled on the surface of the soil.
Reply:There are several things to consider about germinating seeds. First, NO FERTILIZER when you are trying to get them to germinate.
I go to a garden store and buy peat pellets which expand once wet. Peat retains moisture well, so it'll stay damp for a long time. The peat pellets come in containers that look like egg holders, and have a top that helps keep moisture and heat in.
You can also buy a gel that will help you get your plants started.
Last, read the seed package. It might be that your plants need warmer soil to germinate, in which case you'll need to buy a seedling heater or place your peat pellets on a radiator or hot water heater. Some plants actually need total darkness to germinate.
Hope that helps!
Reply:You can use the paper towel method. Wet a paper towel and ring it out so it is damp. place the seeds on the paper towel and fold it over them. Fold it enough to put in a sandwich size ziplock baggie. Check every couple of days until they sprout. Then plant in your favorite potting soil. Keep soil moist and your plant should be up in no time. Also check to see if the seeds need light to germinate. That may be your problem if you are covering them with soil. If they are suppose to be surface sown, they need light.

Just came back from Florida?
From NY area, I want to plant tropical-carribean, type flowers/greenery in my back yard. Any suggestions?
Just came back from Florida?
Hibiscus is always an option. There are the tropical versions that you will need to take inside in the winter and there is the perennial version, however, I'm not certain that it is hardy enough for a NY winter. It is hardy zones 5-10. Another options is to use potted palms and other plants that you can bring in for the winter.

Elephant ears and Caladium are very tropical as well.

Reply:hibiscus,bromelaids,xmas palms, all asst palms are great for the tropical feel,
Reply:Sptfyr's right on the money with hibiscus. We grow some zone 4 varieties here in SD, so your NY climate should be ok. Be sure to mulch them heavily in the wintertime, though. One hard freeze will kill them, zone 4 or not.
The only other options that occur to me are ferns. Everything else I can think of will need to be taken in come fall, and that fills a house up in a hurry.
Reply:There are many plants that do well as houseplants in New York that get to be monsters in Florida.
The most readily available is Pathos, a vine that if you let it run up a tree here has huge leaves, but with less light and a brandy sniffer will grow very well.
Another that you will see a lot in Malls is Ficus Bengemina, or rarely Natilla that also grow huge in tropics but make great bonsai up north.
I was given a banana tree that I thought was just badly treated as it was only a foot tall but ,as it is in the yard, apparently they don't get any bigger . I am not sure where you would find one.
There is a cactus Selenicereus grandiflorus (though Google seems not to hit exactly on mine) with stunning flowers but only one night a year that grows outside as far north as Houston so would only need to come in in the coldest weather and the flowers are spectacular, though only at the summer solstice at midnight..

Just came back from Florida?
Hibiscus is always an option. There are the tropical versions that you will need to take inside in the winter and there is the perennial version, however, I'm not certain that it is hardy enough for a NY winter. It is hardy zones 5-10. Another options is to use potted palms and other plants that you can bring in for the winter.

Elephant ears and Caladium are very tropical as well.

Reply:hibiscus,bromelaids,xmas palms, all asst palms are great for the tropical feel,
Reply:Sptfyr's right on the money with hibiscus. We grow some zone 4 varieties here in SD, so your NY climate should be ok. Be sure to mulch them heavily in the wintertime, though. One hard freeze will kill them, zone 4 or not.

Name for my business - ideas?
I am starting a business selling hand painted canvases at local markets by local artists (Sunshine Coast Qld). However, I want to make a website as well and would like a catchy name. Most of the art will be of tropical flowers, plants, beach scenes etc. - the tropical lifestyle.
Any ideas??

How about "Picture This", or perhaps "Going Tropical", or "Topically Tropical", "Framed on Landscapes", or even "Tropically Framed", or any variation of the above. Hope this helps.

THX THX THX THX for the help you are giving me!!!!!!

Reply:a tank top and Capri's
OR
a sun dress
Reply:try some nice white Capri's (loose Capri's) and a white shirt or a bright summer like shirt (the shirt should be a tank top) ooooohhh and have fun at the party.
Reply:wear a skirt over the bottoms and wear a cami
Reply:Hey there! I would wear short shorts since it will probably be hot, or if you arent comfortable with those, wear white or jean bermuda shorts! Then, wear a simple tank top on top and flip flops. Don't dress like your going to the mall, cuz it's a little kids pool party, you know? Stick to da basics!
Good Luck!
Reply:since you cant buy anything today, just wear some shorts that are old but still look good and a t-shirt. nothing fancy. no ones gonna care so much about how you look.
Reply:Well, A few questions you should ask yourself is the budget and what exactly are you willing to spend. If you really want to look great I think you should check out your local Hollister store. maybe a short jean skirt which they have plenty of and a cute hollister cami/tank/ or polo whichever would be suitable for the weather or your budget. With this store you are sure to look trendy and cute and not like you tried too hard. If mini skirts aren't your style you could try a pair of shorts which hollister has plenty of!! In great colors as well.!!
Good Luck and have fun!!

Mixture for germinating seeds?
I live in a remote area (tropical) and am having trouble germinating some flower seeds. I have available a fairly good topsoil, sand, and a composted mix sold in bags.
What is the best proportion of these that will give me the best results?
Mixture for germinating seeds?
The sand has to be clean. No road salt in it.
The topsoil has to be dry, and fine, the sand also should be dry.
The composte should also be fine and dry.
Then try 1/2 topsoil 1/4 sand 1/4 compost.
Then, CAREFULLY add a little water. You want to dampent the mix without getting it wet, as in mud.
A much simpler solution would be to buy some Jiffy Mix at a garden store. Inexpensive, and works well for most things.
Reply:As you live in a tropical area it would be interesting to know what you are trying to germinate
Here in the UK we grow wallflowers out side, in South Africa they have to grow wallflowers in a shaded poly tunnel
Reply:Place a few layers of paper towels in a shallow bowl, place seeds on paper, then cover with a few more layers of paper towels Make sure to keep moist, and the seeds will germinate. Be very carefull when trying to plant in soil medium. I use small tweezers for this stage and have had very good luck.
Reply:what do you intend to grow.
Reply:OK, you'd be talking a starter mix. 50% Peat Moss, 25% Perlite and 25% Vermiculite. This is your basic mix which is good for acidic loving plants. If you need to sweeten the mix (less acidic), you'll need to add dolomite (agricultural lime), 1 tablespoon / 4 liter vol. (gallon). Using garden soil is not recommended until transplanting.

What would you think of a girl like this...?
Her skin is the color of heated sugar, carmalized with intense thought and expression. She goes through the room leaving a colorful smell of tropical flowers and fruits. Her hair smells of lemons as she turns her head looking at what the artistic world has got left to offer diffusing the atmosphere with the scent of citrus. Her body is curvy yet her waist is thin. She smiles in a dream like state as she picks up a book to read and sits by the window reflecting a glorious sunshine...

3/4 sleeve on right arm?
I am looking for a tattoo artist to draw up a design for my arm - 3/4 length sleeve, complete coverage, of tropical flowers and greens. I have a few other tattoos that were done my an x-manfriend/tattoo artist. I've never had to be concerned with finding an artist I trust. I'm looking for a talented artist and a fair price. My location: Milwaukee, WI. Any suggestions? Recommendations? Thanks.
3/4 sleeve on right arm?
I think clamshell has the locations covered ....I would look at each of them and ask lots of questions and be prepared to pay up front for design work done on paper (though some places will add this toward the cost of the actual tattoo if you decide to get it done) .....don't go with the lowest quote while pricing your sleeve....look for the best artist for you (you will know it when you see it)
good luck
Reply:I live in Waukegan Illinois, know where that is? Anyway, I don't know your area too good, but I know a few places around Kenosha that are good. This one place called Borderline is good. That is one I like. Get out your phonebook though, and look up some and ask around about the reputation of the artist.
Reply:try
www.bmezine.com
they show artists work.
Also find a yellow pages or directory and look a few up some should have their own websites.
Reply:finding a good and reputable artist is a lengthy but well worth while process. The best recommendation in my mind is word of mouth, do you know anyone who has work you admire that you could ask? i would look around, i would walk up to a complete stranger in the street and ask them if i saw work i liked, its happened to me, its a huge compliment and no one will mind you asking, if this fails, i would ask your ex manfriend, your friendship/relationship may be over but it shows you still respect his work, i hope this is of some help, good luck
