ok guys.. so I have the dress, the shoes, the purse, but I'mstuck on the makeup... my dress in aqua and short and fun and my purse,shoes,and wrap are all orange.. I'm also putting a tropical (fake) orange flower in my hair.. but I'm not sure which colors to do on my eyes and lips... I have bright green eyes and blonde hair.. I'll be tan (hopefully) by prom and i have subtle lips.. I need advice on if I should do myeyes aqua or orange or neither and which color i should do on my lips... i was thinkning a nice nudish orange with some gloss but any advice would be great.. thanks guys!
Which colors should I wear for prom makeup?
Personally, I think that you should use as little makeup as possible. But, a nice glittery gold eyeshadow would bring out your eyes. Don't overdo it though! Keep it nice and subtle. Your outfit seems to be very fun and tropical like, so I would suggest a nice light pink for the lips. Not necessarily pale, but not hot pink either. Balance it out for yourself. Also don't tan too much.
Hope I've helped.
Reply:go with a soft aqua on the eyes...not bright and line slightly darker. go for lots of black mascara. If your eyelashes are short you may opt to use a few fake eyelashes. Go for the the invidual lashes, they look more natural... a soft blush and nudish to slightly tinted lip gloss. This will make your eyes pop which will be good for prom........Have fun and take lots of pictures
Reply:green eyeshadow(aqua, sorry) and like u said, nude orange lipgloss. the eyeshadow should make ur eyes come out, and the nude is supposed to bring ur tan out, as well...i think, lol
Reply:well aqua and orange are kinda to tropicalish lol but thats
unique!! for your eyes i think u should wear pretty glitter .
Reply:do a nuetral color like tans or brwn cuz u already have alot of color going on and as for like color any kind of tinted gloss should be fine
Reply:wow....that's a grip load of colors....i think you should just go natural. ..... let the true beauty come out.
Reply:Im not sure if aqua and orange are a good combination..
Reply:well...you should put orange because orange goes better with tan.trust me i know

Does anyone know the name of this flower?
When I was a little girl, we had a plant that grew little almond-shaped white/light yellow flower buds. I would pluck one of the closed buds and put it behind my ear. It would give off the best scent... it smelled like banana popsicles. :) I would love to add this plant to my tropical yard, but I do not know the name of the plant. Your help would be greatly appeciated! Thank you in advance!
Does anyone know the name of this flower?
It could possibly be a 'Michelia Figo' common name banana shrub.It's from the magnolia family.It's nice to have plants from your childhood.I'm collecting a few at the moment too so I hope this is helpful.The site I've provided shows a picture so it'll be easy to judge.

Describe the scene out your bedroom window, from your grade school years.?
Mine was in Hawaii. We were on a Marine Corps base there, so my window looked out at a small mountian to the east. There were some fantastic sunrises.
I had a plumeria tree right out side my window, so that wonderful smell of blossoming tropical flowers was always in my room.
Describe the scene out your bedroom window, from your grade school years.?
my grade school looked out over the Niagara River and you could see Canada clearer than our lawn on the American side, if you were on the 3rd or 4th floor.
my bedroom window looks out to the house next door's wall.
Reply:wow that sounds amazing! I could see out into our back yard, the street which runs along it, into the neighbor's yard, a few houses near by,a little bit of a park across the way, and people strolling around... ^_^ And that's what I still see.
Reply:I could see the green house roof, the fort in my backyard and into my neighbor's window. ;)
Reply:Our backyard had a wooden fence, lots of trees and two small hills.
Reply:another house
Reply:When I was a kid, I could see the house next door (it was a little mobile, my dad owned it and rented it out) and then a really nice little view of the train tracks, which ran on a bridge across my road, and always the sunrise. It doesn't sound like an interesting view, but to me it was the whole world. My favorite time back then was always winter, when the whole place would be covered with snow and the trees would be bare of leaves. I also learned about how the earth moves by looking out my window, because it faced directly east. It was...just home :)
Reply:A house that was the worst blue color, funny its still that same color. Then right there outside my window was the neighbor's dogs house. That dog was so mean, really, he was a German shepherd, used to jump the fence and chase me. One time someone leaned on the fence and he jumped up and took a chunk out of the guys arm for no reason. I used to hear him bark at night and still remember having nightmares he's jump right thru my window and attacking me. Needless to say, I've never really liked German shepherds since.

What are other great centerpieces for my coffee table? Pls help. :)?

Reply:Fresh flowers? Or wood items, something with a really nice interesting grain to it. Or maybe a few really beautiful books.
Reply:A really neat bowl maybe with some seashells. Candles are always a good idea. Get different sizes and put them on a glass bowl maybe filled with different colored flat marble like stones.
Reply:Buy a brown metal basket from Pier 1 Fill it with potpourri the dark kind I have more compliments from that
Reply:i found that decorating a flat mirror with pretty figurines maybe a doily and a small candle in a sconce is very attractive. and a great conversation piece as well.
Reply:try some kind of bamboo, like a bamboo candle holder since you like candles but are bored with plain candles, or try growing bamboo in a shallow decorative planter,and there are some palm trees that can be put in small planters and look very nice in a living room.
Reply:Hmm...a piece of driftwood maybe...a bowl full of candy (my idea of a good centerpiece), a parrot, a statue, a fish tank, food, a little cactus, balloons, a stick, a giant sculpture made of dishes piled on top of eachother...I dunno.
Reply:How about a really cool carved bowl with dried fruit (or fresh fruit) in it.
Reply:a pewter fish or something made out of pewter that will compliment the room.
Reply:water fall,fish bowl lots of color, we use conk shells we brought back from bahammas
Reply:This is the new stuff!! Self-sustaining water plants, the come in sealed glass capsules.They're great, inexpensive and never need any care. P.S. Not lava lamps!!!! a Fa- Sui mirror for faith, hope and prosperity.
Reply:Why not a little zen garden..Get a dish (kind of flat though), put some sand in it. Throw in some river rocks and there you have a zen garden.
Reply:Turn it into a beach getaway. get one of those nice sand filled rock gardens two cute small bonsai trees a barbie sized hammock and have a beach party on your coffee table. You could turn those candles into tiki torches.
Reply:buy a piece of glass that will fit the top of your table and place family photos or pictures of tropical fish under glass.

Help! My daughter's bridal shower is at my house tomorrow outside and it.s supposed to rain,.It's decorated in
it's decorated in hawaiian luau theme. there will be 24 people on my back patio with all the beatiful tropical flowers we planed and decorated, lots of food. etc, WHAT WILL I DO THE HOUSE ISN'T BIG ENOUGH
Help! My daughter's bridal shower is at my house tomorrow outside and it.s supposed to rain,.It's decorated in
Suggestions:
1) look up party rental places in your area and call them now...maybe they have suggestions or patio umbrellas you can borrow
2) buy patio umbrellas- check out BBQ/outdoor equipment places and Home Depot or Lowe's.
Reply:well you should always have a back up plan when planning something outside in case of rain. you could look in to renting one of those big party tents to cover your deck. or maybe just have it outside and if it starts raining move everyone inside to stand for a few minutes and wait and hopefully the rain will stop.
Reply:How about the garage?! Seriously if cleaning out isn't too difficult...you could open the garage door and sort of still be outside...hopefully some of those tropical flowers are in planters...if not, pick up some of those when you get the umbrellas (a great idea). Perhaps at least the food part could go in the garage? Depending on your house/garage layout it might work in a pinch.
Reply:If it rains, squeeze them inside. People will be forgiving as obviously you can't control the weather, and unless you live in a trailer or a 1 room house, 24 people can fit. Get creative if you have to move furniture into one of the bedrooms or whatnot. You'll be fine; have fun :)
Reply:You might be surprised at how accomidating your house may be! Also, you can string up a tarp, or move it to the garage even. Hopefully you have great weather, though!
Reply:How can you plan an outdoor anything without a backup plan? You're screwed, you can try calling rental companies for last minute tents.
Reply:You could buy a HUGE tent thing... you know like with the top of it... you can get them really cheaply at walmart!!! :-) gl
Reply:Just be confident

In the center of the table you could have a large glass fish bowl with sand and seashells in it. OR smaller glass fishbowls with beta fish in them. The "place cards" could be sand dollars with the guests name on it. You could use bamboo place mats.

Planters instead of garden this year...?
We are moving to a town house, it's so nice, so happy, the only thing is there is no space for a garden BUT we have this huge patio that I could have 2 big planters filled with flowers!
Can you please give me some tips as well as flower suggestions for the planters? I'm in NW Pennsylvania so no tropical flowers unfortunately. I love Impatients and marigolds, tho!
Planters instead of garden this year...?
Been there, done that and loved it! Soomething to be said for no yard maintainace, eh? I grew up in the country, so it was hard to give up the "country" state of mind. I went to the dollar store and bought two large square planters and an arched wire trellis. I put this on both sides of the entry to my courtyard and planted four small asparagus ferns in the corners and morning glory seeds in pink, fuschias and purples. If there's room in front of them, you could plant clumps of ornamental grasses. Then I put vinyl window boxes all around the perimeter of the patio and filled with phlox, impatiens, snapdragons, etc. (You can even get table-top tiki torches or candle holders to intersperse in them) A little bistro set and some pots of geraniums and I was set to go. It's not the size of the garden but the unexpected ways you can use the space you have. There are even wrought irons holders to mount on the wall to hold pots of trailing plants. Have fun...happy gardening!
Reply:There are some advantages to pots: easier to control soil, easier to deal with plants (less stooping over), fewer buggies.
Because you can control the nutrition and soli viability (and can replace soil), you can crowd plants closer together.
Consider plants that trail for the edges so they trail over the sides of the pot (like Wave petunias), and something tall for the center.
Reply:I started doing container gardening last year....a couple of things I learned along the way...make sure your container has drain holes..believe me it fills up with water, spoils and stinks to high heaven if you dont...I have also started putting a layer of rock in the bottom of my containers, so far working really well.
I have tried several different ways of planting the containers, but have found variety is the best. I would get something tall, like spike grass, then depending on whether you will have sun or shade you can choose your plants from there. Most of mine get sun at 6 hours a day, so I used sweet potatoe vine, because I like the trailing over the pot and the color, petunias, asparagus fern and geraniums in a couple of colors. Dont fill your pot up to much, allow a little room for the plants to grow and fill in. Also, remember, containers seem to require more frequent watering than what you are used to doing in your beds. I am in Oklahoma and during the heat of the summer (it gets over 100 here) last year I was watering before work and then late evening when I got home, everyday! I think the best way to tell is to simply stick your finger in the pot and see if it is dry!
I always go to online nuseries, read about plants that work well in my "zone" and make choices based on their suggestions. Honestly, I buy local, but use the online as a great information source.
There is also a great magazine out called "Backyard Living" you can probably find it online, but they always have great suggestions and lots of pictures. I say, just have fun! Pick the things you like and go for it!
Reply:if it is shady, impatients will work well. with a lot
of sun marigolds or begonias would be very pretty. good luck

How can i turn my hibiscus bush into a tree??
I'm new at gardening and I absolutely LOVE tropical plants. However, I live in NH so unfortunately we aren't blessed with these gorgeous plants/flowers. Anyways, I bought a hibiscus bush yesterday and when I was at the store i saw what appeared to be was of small hibiscus trees...My mother told me that you have to train your plant to grow that way. If so, how do I go about doing that?
Thanks!

How can i turn my hibiscus bush into a tree??
Tropical hibiscus plants are categorized into Bush (or shrub) forms and Tree (or Standard) forms.
You can train your hiciscus into a tree form, by cutting off all stems but one. Use a stake for training this stem, and prune off all side stems or shoots. You are aiming for getting the shoots to form a bushy top.
Since you live in NH, and don't get a long growing season, you'd be better off to purchase a tree form.
One last thought, hibiscus prefer sun, and tend to develop root rot if they are overwatered..provide good drainage for your plant. Mites can also be a problem..just hose off, or use an insecticidal soap to prevent infestations.
You can bring your plant indoors for the winter season, if it is a tropical vs. a "hardy" hibiscus.
Reply:There is a wide variety of hibiscus plants. Some are perennials that grow from the ground each year and die back each fall. These are the ones that have the huge gaudy tropical type flowers.
Others are bushes, like rose of Sharon. The latter can grow really large without much encouragement. You just need a few years of patience.
Make sure before you buy that whatever you grow can take your New England winters.
Reply:If it is tropical, you will need to bring it inside in the Fall and bring it back out in June. Tropical hibiscus cant live in New England outside. If you have a hardy hibiscus..well..that's a different story.

Unknown Plant With Fruit and Flowers Growing in Shade - Please Help Identify?
This plant/tree has been growing under my trampoline for a few months. At first all the fruit was green and there were no flowers. Now the fruit is turning yellow and there are tiny white flowers with yellow centers.
Some people have already suggested guava, kiwi, and coffee. I don't think it's any of those, though. Another person thought it may be in the moraceae family, but I don't think that's the case either. It seems too peppery and tropical.
It's most definitely not a Brazilian pepper tree. I've had many of those, and this is extremely different.
Here is a link to some pictures:

Unknown Plant With Fruit and Flowers Growing in Shade - Please Help Identify?
It's an Amatillo plant, it's a type of weed that grows in ppl's gardens. Please don't eat the fruit, it's poisonous.
Here's a pic of it:

Reply:Looks like guavea but i think i could be wrong. You can take a sample and a few pics into any lowes or plant nursery and they will beable to tell you what type of plant that is.
Reply:I know EXACTLY what that plant is.. I don't necessarily know what it's called in English.. but most people call it "Philippine Lime / Lemon"
Where I'm from we call it "CALAMANSI" We have tons of that in the Philippines and that's what our lemons our.. it's more tart than lemons here in US.
I'm already here in California.. and we also have that in our backyard..
the weird thing is that it turns yellow here as it grows.. but in the Philippines it stays green..
you could make it as a juice (if you're not too lazy to squeeze about 15 to 20 of those just to make a glass).. but you have to add water and sugar.. and lots of ice.. it's good to drink specially on hot summer days.. it's really refreshing..
In the Philippines we also use it to put in our meals. I would love to tell you what they are but you might not be familiar with them.
If you have Filipino friends or if you just know anybody from the Philippines.. show them that fruit and they will tell you the same thing that I just said.
k.. that should answer your question.. =)
Some people have already suggested guava, kiwi, and coffee. I don't think it's any of those, though. Another person thought it may be in the moraceae family, but I don't think that's the case either. It seems too peppery and tropical.
It's most definitely not a Brazilian pepper tree. I've had many of those, and this is extremely different.
Here is a link to some pictures:

Unknown Plant With Fruit and Flowers Growing in Shade - Please Help Identify?

Reply:Looks like guavea but i think i could be wrong. You can take a sample and a few pics into any lowes or plant nursery and they will beable to tell you what type of plant that is.
Reply:I know EXACTLY what that plant is.. I don't necessarily know what it's called in English.. but most people call it "Philippine Lime / Lemon"
Where I'm from we call it "CALAMANSI" We have tons of that in the Philippines and that's what our lemons our.. it's more tart than lemons here in US.
I'm already here in California.. and we also have that in our backyard..
the weird thing is that it turns yellow here as it grows.. but in the Philippines it stays green..

Is it ok to get a guy flowers...?..?
My BF and I got into an argument last nite....we've been together for 5 years...and I send him these flowers but they are not like girly....they look very tropical/exotic....do you think he'll get embarassed once he gets them at work...?..he works with a bunch of guys...
thnx.
Is it ok to get a guy flowers...?..?
Of course. . . I've done it! You know your guy better than anyone so only you can guess if he'd be embarrassed. One thing for sure. . . the guys he works with would be envious. Good Luck!
Reply:Well, flowers do tend to emasculate a guy, and if he works with a bunch of other guys there's no doubt he'll be teased for them, it all resumes to how open-minded he is about it, if he's an easy going dude, he'll just laugh it off, but if he's kinda macho-like you'll probably get into another argument.
All in all, there's nothing wrong with sending him flowers.
Reply:that's really sweet, but I think he would definitely be embarrassed receiving them at work, especially working around other men....they will find someway of turning a thoughtful action into a mess...if you want to send him flowers have them sent to his home.
P.S. "manly" flowers...what do those look like?---I think bamboo is a safe alternative....it's not masculine or feminine and it will not die in a few days.
Reply:he probably wouldnt get embarrassed, it would just feel awkward... it wouldnt really hurt me socially if i got flowers as a present infront a bunch of my friends, but ide feel pretty stupid holding flowers... send him like a picture of you with a letter or something... that might be better and it might mean more.
Reply:If he is comfortable with himself he shouldn't get embarrassed. In fact, the other guys may be a bit jealous. I sent my husband a frilly balloon bouquet at work for his birthday. He loved it and enjoyed the torment from his crew. The guys are all married or have girlfriends so they understood. I think he will appreciate it.
Reply:aww thats cute but he might get embarrassed around his buddies, you know guys. try giving him one of his current favorite movies and his favorie beer, or cook him his favorite meal..the best way to get to a man is thru his stomache.
Good luck!
Reply:Oh he will hate you for it, on the outside. But if he is like me we/he should be deeply touched by the gesture and love you even more.
But he will catch hell at work.
Reply:YES. Don't do it! He'll get the piss taken out of him FOREVER. If my girlfriend did that to me I'd be even more pissed off. He'll get over it, we have broad shoulders.
Reply:I got flowers from a woman once. And although it might be a punch in the "gay card", it was a very nice gesture.
Reply:it depends on how masculine he thinks he is. his co-workers might make fun of him for it but if your bf got a sense of humor then he will think its sweet.
Reply:He'll hate the flowers but he'll love the thought. Go for it.
Reply:yeah he might get embarrassed if he receives them at work in front of his co-workers... but its a really sweet thing to do and he should appreciate it either way
Reply:uh i would say go to his house and give them to him or if you live with him make him dinner or somthing
Reply:personally i think its OK but if he is working with a bunch of guys you know they'll make fun of him. maybe you should just send them to his home address I'm sure he would appreciate that much more
Reply:@ work is not a good idea.
Reply:He may find it embarrassing yeah
really cute thing to do tho =D
star from me x
Reply:he'll love them. alot of guys like it when you give them flowers.
Reply:Definetly do not get him flowers. That would be so gayyy and embarassing.. Lol
Reply:depends how secure he is with his masculinity
Reply:No, I think that is very sweet!! He'll love them! : )
Reply:Depends on how his co-workers react. And if he's a confident person.
Reply:He'll be embarrassed but its all good... if he loves you he'll see past it for what you're trying to say
Reply:Yeah. As long as you explain to him why.
Reply:i dont think it really matters that much!

What are good colors for a summer wedding?
I am getting married June of 2008. My mom eloped so I thought I'd let her feel free to help me a little more then probably what she should for my wedding. I am going with a tropical theme because I want to use orchirds for my flowers. My mom thinks I should use the color lime green. Any suggestions on what could match with lime green?
What are good colors for a summer wedding?
I think lime green is a horrid wedding color. All the bridesmaids in lime green? Ick. Sorry, just IMHO.
Reply:I would say either go with tropical/ hawaiin colors or like easterish colors
Reply:actually white and lime go together... you could also go for pink. just make sure NO orange. that would not be a good color combo. brown would look nice... it's hard to tell w/o the exact shade of green, but make sure it's a sort of natural looking shade, not a garish skating rink sort of color. (my cousin just had her wedding with greens and browns and it looked really nice.) whatever you choose, make sure they look good together... clashing is bad for weddings.
Good luck! I hope you have an amazing wedding!
Reply:I am getting married in July and I am using chocolate brown and sky/river blue. I love it for an outside woodlawn wedding. Beats same old hotel white!
Reply:Go to a fabric store and look at tropical print fabrics that include lime green in the pattern. There should be a few to choose from. The fabric you pick will have more colors than just the green, so you can see what ones you really like.
You can also ask the people at the fabric store to help with colors that go well with lime green. Buy a bit of fabric to use when picking out the other items (napkins, flowers, invitations, etc).
Congratulations!
Reply:Green, blue, and yellow.
Reply:i would say: umm.....white, purple and pink, maybe green. any good colors like that.or yellow
Reply:orange and lime green are gorgeous together! Congrats!
Reply:pale pink, and orange, those are good colors to go with lime green, really any bright color would look good, bright purples, pinks, etc.
Reply:pink
Reply:White, pink. You can look at tropical flowers and see what nature has come up with. LIke leis and such. CONGRATS!

About tropical rainforest plants?
Help on finding a flower that is very attractive to butterflies (especially because of their color) please tell me the name of the FLOWER not tree....also, can you tell me the dangers that might be happened to the plant (especially natural ones such as by animals or disasters, not caused litterally by us humans)
About tropical rainforest plants?
Why did you say "name of the FLOWER not tree" -- you do realize that all angiosperm trees produce flowers (and that the flower produced by the tree does not have a separate name)? Perhaps you meant herb or shrub...
To the poster talking about specificity of butterflies: it's not true that all butterflies pollinate only a single plant species. Granted, there are some amazing cases of specialized pollination in butterflies, but that is not universal.
Reply:Butterflies are very specific. They will only go for one plant so you decide which butterfly you like and get the right plant. For example, here in North Queensland we grow Euodea spp to attract Ulysses Blue butterflys.

What is the best pland for my garden?
I have a lot of little plants that look okay, but I need some fast growing, darker plants for the back of my garden to give the flowers in front a "foil" to make them stand out better.
I like tropical plants but don't know anything about them. My biggest issue is that one side of the garden is full sun all day every day and every season. The other side is always shaded.
Any suggestions?
What is the best pland for my garden?
for the back with full sun and since you like tropical try canna lilies or a vining plant like trump[et vine..crotons add a splash of colour as well
for the shade try tall ferns or hosta or even elephant ears
riding boots

Short Story (1) - The best answer gets ten points! I have the beginning, can you write the best ending?
As they looked over the landscape, the sun shone through the clouds, glistening through the mist on the mountain's foothills.
This place had over a thousand years of history. Even through the dense jungle they could see the ruins of ancient temples and rock carvings. Around them, the parrots were squwaking and the tropical flowers were beaded with morning dew.
Something was beckening them to venture deeper . . .
Short Story (1) - The best answer gets ten points! I have the beginning, can you write the best ending?
it wasn't a voice, it was the sensations felt by millions of pilgrims to the site, drawing them to their God. As they drew nearer, the sensations of peace deepened and the awe of the place grew tenfold. Gazing up at the majestic ruins, they sensed the magnitude of the culture and peoples that built it. As they wandered through the empty streets, they could hear the whispers of street vendors, of the carts being drawn and the animals bawling out their myriad of sounds. They kept feeling the draw and the presence of something unseen, urging them deeper within the ruins.
As they neared a building that was left virtually unscathed, they noticed the fine craftsmanship on the building and the magnitude of their emotions blossomed. They approached it with baited breath and entered with reverence. All around a central altar, benches circled the entire building. Above the altar was a simple cross and a few words in the ancient tongue, etched in the stone below.
After struggling with the translations, they discovered the meaning. It read simply, "All who seek peace, may find it here". All of a sudden, they were filled with a glorious peace, that filled their entire being, and they knew that they had found the ancient God the natives had worshiped, and their own.

Wreath of Flowers...I want to wear one as a headpiece?
We're having a destination wedding in St Thomas, followed a few months later by a reception locally, where I will also be wearing my gown (and headpiece). Because I will be wearing the floral wreath twice, I was thinking of making one using silk flowers. Is there a form you can buy for the basic wreath shape or how are they made? I wanted to use smaller flowers (daisy size, but a more tropical variety)

Go to a big fabric store - they have the forms. Get the flowers for it at Hobby Lobby or Michael's. http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displ...
Try the biggest local fabric store in town!
Reply:Just order one online. Go to TheHawaiian wedding shop.com I think they sell them there.
Reply:Your local florist should be able to help you out. My bridesmaids had these, and there was no form - the wreath was just shaped from the flowers being laid over each other progressively, and wired as it went along.
Reply:My step mother did the same thing and it looked great and very tropical. Try hobby lobby, the have expert floral designers who will let you pick out the flowers you want and they will design it for you. Very affordable for something that will be a keepsake the rest of your life. I am a wedding photographer and I use them to make boquets my brides use for their bridal portraits.
Have fun in St. Thomas, I am going there in 15 DAYS!
Reply:Sounds like we're in the same boat with not having ANYTHING close to us (Hobby Lobby and so forth), I have ebayed my wedding to death! Try looking on there for flowers (they usually give you a close up - but if they don't..click on the ask seller a question button and ask them to send a close up picture of the flower). Congrats on the up coming wedding and I wish you luck!

their heads can be taken off and sew onto a hairpiece or scarf

Reply:There's this wire thing, they use it in the ring skirts, you know the ones that are really puffy and when you sit down they just fly up. That's the material I've seen used for the flower wreaths.
Reply:Try researching using the word "renaissance" in the search. At renaissance faires, they sell nice wreaths of dried flowers.
