i have a spider plant, chia pet plant, and poinsettias. are any of these poison?
What houseplants are harmful if eaten by a cat?
I know poinsetta's are. Here's a good list:
http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/protec...
Reply:The biggest ones are poinsettias and lilies. I've known people who have lost cats to both of them.
Reply:The ASPCA has a site with poisonous plants and it will show what part of the plant is poisonous.
http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pag...
It is in Alphabetical order.
Reply:Poinsettas....
pretty much every thing that would be harmful to you to eat.
Make sure they never eat chocolate. Also, if they eat enough dog food it will make them go blind! don't feed them dog food.

NEED HELP WITH A GREENHOUSE/ HORTICULTURE PROJECT! WHAT KIND OF PLANTS CAN I SELL DURING THe FALL?!?!?
I'm a junior agriculture major and in one of my upper level classes we have to create a year-long greenhouse crop schedule. I am having some trouble coming up with enough plants to fill my greenhouse for my fall sales. Currently I have Kale, Pansys, and Poinsettias. I am going to add some herbs but I still need a lot more! We can't use mums either. Any ideas? Only answers from people who know what they are talking about please!

Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumbergera truncate) blooms in November.

Reply:Chrysanthemum. But, Chrysanthemum is a short day plant so, if you plan to produce cut flower, you should supply long days condition to obtain long peduncle ( for placing the vase).

Why are there so many questions on here about the dangers of Holly to dogs?
I saw that there are a lot of questions about the dangers of Holly, but aren't there more dangers to dogs than that? I understand that the holidays are coming up, but don't you think holiday chocolate, poinsettias, and even many holiday nuts would be more dangerous to dogs?
Why does everyone worry about Holly?

No your right but I know many people who do bring Holly into their homes for the Holidays. Mistletoe is also a very dangerous plant to have around too. As well as the ones you have mentioned already. It is never to soon to start to warn people about anything that can harm their dogs during the holidays.
Reply:If I am not mistaken, I believe that the little red berries of the holly bush are considered poisonous. Also, take a look at the barbs on the holly leaf, if you think it would hurt your mouth to chew on it...it would be the same for a dog.
Reply:Because Holly is a troll and everyone knows that trolls eat dogs
Reply:maybe they can find lots of info on the other things, but not sure about holly
who knows...
now i know too!
Reply:cuz Chuck Norris sad to worry!
Reply:Jeez...I was unaware! If I HAD Holly near me, I would STOMP it!! Just get some big boots and kick the crap out of it and get it out of here!!!!!!!!!
It is good that there is a forum that can alert us to these dangers!!
Thank God, I think I am Holly free!!!!!!
Reply:There are so many things that are dangerous to dogs during the Holiday. You can never be too careful!
Reply:Because Holly is deadly... besides, its noxious, spreading, and a general pain in the posterior. If more people knew the dangers of Holly, there would be far fewer backyards infested with the stuff and endangering the lives of dogs.
Reply:I have seen tons of posts about this. I saw on Wikipedia that holly is toxic. You can check for yourself.
Reply:So true. There are so many things that are not good for them. Holly berries are poisonous to humans too!
Reply:Because many folks know the dangers of chocolate, but as you noted, with the holidays coming up, most folks don't know about the dangers of this prickish shrub.
Reply:I agree with Chihuahua Mama . There are people on here that did not like her at all. I know who the people are but I will not name them. They know who they are and they have not stopped writing about her at all. I didn't know her but she was not treated nicely at all on Yahoo Answers.
Reply:my name's Holly, I am in no way shape or form a danger to anyone's dog, including my own, fear not fellow yahooers, for I, Holly shall not harm your dog, do however keep the evergreen variety of my name away from your four legged friends.
Love Holly
Reply:We all worry because all dogs should be kept safe from Holly and all backyards free of it.
Reply:i have never seen a question on here about Holly and dogs except for this one.
Reply:It may be that people are asking questions about the plant holly being toxic to dogs because there have been reports of other 'previously unknown substances' that are toxic and cause either 'kidney failure' or 'liver failure' or death in dogs ... particularly the sweetener Xylitol. You may see more questions about holly because there is more than one 'thing' to holly at Christmas ... the leaves (including their pokey points) and the berries. Actually, both are toxic to dogs, but the berries are 'worse' because the leaves do 'poke' and dogs tend not to eat them, but they will pick up fallen berries from the floor or ground. It's not just DOGS that get sick and even die from Holly and other toxics, though ... cats get sick from many of the same things, and even HEDGEHOGS. I have a hedgehog and she is my 'baby' and I would be totally heartbroken if anything happened to her because I was 'remiss' about finding out and helping her avoid what could kill her. You are correct ... chocolate and nuts are bad for dogs and cats, and so are grapes. Poinsettia is NOT toxic to animals, though, and they very RARELY even take a 'taste' because it's 'bitter' and they spit it right out. There is one other thing that many people 'add' when the weather turns cold though ... ANTIFREEZE that you put into your car is very 'tasty' to animals, and it KILLS THEM ... so if you see any 'purple fluid' they could lick up, CLEAN IT UP and SANITIZE the place thoroughly so the dogs and cats in your neighborhood may have a Merry Christmas too!
Reply:The answers obvious... They don't know why holly is harmfull to dogs. Why else would they need to ask?
Reply:You're right, 'tis the season for lots of dangers to pets. I think it's great that people are taking the time to get the word out early.
Chocolate, poinsettias, and holly are EQUALLY dangerous. People seem to know about chocolate and poinsettias, however, and not know of the dangers of holly.
Holly is not only toxic to pets, but especially dangerous for children.

Best to keep holly far far away from your home.
Reply:chuhuahua mama, I have to respectfully disagree with you. Holly is poisonous. Please dont take the chance and keep it away from your pets and children.
Reply:I think there have been a few dogs lately that have gotten horribly sick from holly. I believe that's why the big uproar all of a sudden. Look when people found out about the Xylitol in gum, and that chocolate was bad, grapes and everything else. People talked about that and asked about it for weeks. The new problem on the list is holly. I think most people just want others to be aware of the problems, many people don't have any idea what kind of problems holly can cause their pets.
I asked about pumpkins, given that hollowe'en is coming up. apparently pumpkin isn't a problem. holly, is a huge problem.
Like Thanksgiving, and turkey bones, everyone should be aware that turkey skin shouldn't be given to dogs, turkey bones are bad. Following Thanksgiving is Christmas, and the huge danger is holly.. Do NOT give holly to your friends this year. A good friend would not share holly with friends.
Plus i think it was on the Oprah show, so everyone is going to be talking about holly dangers now.
Reply:There is a war going on against a fellow Yahooer named Holly. A certain group is using their own code to slander Holly. Their posts seem to be about the plant but if you know the history of what is going on and read the posts made by certain members, then you will see they are talking about a person, not a plant. A lot of the unknowing people such as the one who started this thread obviously are innocent and have no part in the war being waged against Holly.
To my Ginger Kids, I am not saying the plant is not poisonous. I am stating that the majority of the postings lately and the reason for these postings have been directed against a person and have nothing to do with the holly plant. Yes, the holly plant is poisonous.
Of course all the thumbs down come from all the holly and chihuahua mama haters.

Question of Etiquette and Social Manners?
Is it correct or acceptable to personally deliver flowers, for example Poinsettias (Christmas season flowers), to a woman at her workplace/ office? Should I call her first before dropping or I could surprisingly stop by and say Hi briefly?
Question of Etiquette and Social Manners?
The only time this would not be acceptable would be if she worked for the CIA or something. Everyone would understand the sentiment. Pointetta's are not very romantic, more seasonal, is that your intent?
Reply:It depends on how well you know her. If you've known her a short time, it's best to let the florist do it, so as not to get her to think you're some kind of stalker.
If you know her well, do it yourself, and take her to lunch.
Reply:It depends. What type of job does she have? it completely depends on the work environment. Do you think her boss would be okay with it? Sometimes certain employers find it to be interrupting of the office environment.
Reply:Most women do not appreciate being visited unexpectedly, be it at home or work, by a boyfriend, even for such a sweet gesture. If you haven't known her for long, opt for a delivery by the florist with a short message on a nice card. If you have known her for a very long time and wouldn't mind if she dropped in on you, it's probably okay. But make sure her boss won't get mad that she's spending work time chatting with you, and that your visit won't disrupt any professional image she's trying to maintain. To be safe: Go for a delivery.
Reply:It is acceptable to deliver flowers personally, but it is not always the best option. If you know the individual well and are sure they will be well-received then by all means do so. If the individual in question is less well-known to you they might feel "confronted" or obliged to thank you excessively for the gift. This can make them feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.
In any case, certain workplaces have policies regarding personal visits so it is wise to check in advance.
Reply:yes i believe it is acceptable to deliver flowers to someone you know or are trying to get to know them better
Reply:Let's put it this way...if you want to make an impression...have them sent, she will think "how nice of him", but really, it all depends on the time frame of the relationship and other factors involved.
Reply:Uh, it is socially acceptable to have it professionally delivered. To do it yourself would force her to thank you in front of her co-workers (awkward) It is best to let someone deliver it, (be it a friend or leave it at the front desk where she is no where near) with a card so she may gush and admire them, then call to thank you. Trust me on this one.
Reply:too awkward for personal delivery
Have them delivered proffesionally.
Reply:I would and have brought her flowers to the office and she loved it.
Reply:NO, get delivery to do it.
Reply:It is ok to drop by as long as her work does not have a rule against it. Just be sure to keep it as brief of an interruption as you can.

Decorating for christmas?
my mom said that i could decorate the front porch of my house for Christmas if i came up with plans for it so can you give me some and tell me if these ideas are ok?
1. put real or fake poinsettias in hanging pots and hang them in between the posts of the railing
2. wrap garland lights around the posts along the bottom of the railing
3. hang wreaths in the 2 windows on the wall that my porch is in front of
4. hang 1 large lighted wreath with a ribbon swag over my garage
please i need help with more ideas and I'm not sure if the ideas above are any good so any input is appreciated
thank you so much
Decorating for christmas?
Those are great ideas!! You have a knack for decorating. I can't think of anything else but if you come up with something I'm sure it will be just as good. Your front porch will look very classic and traditional. Your mom picked the right person for the job!
Reply:That sounds good...remember that over crowding can ruin what was otherwise supposed to be nice....Maybe some fake frost on the windows.
Reply:Your ideas are wonderful. Fake poinsettias are much more practical for the outside than real ones. Lighted wreaths and garland are wonderful, I use them. just make sure that the lights are all the same color, like clear or multi color. No blinking lights, makes it look cheesy..... Happy Holidays!!!!
Reply:sounds nice! Why not put lights in hedges? And if you have a small tree, put baubles on the branches.

Daily Bark *30* Tuesday?
Hi Dog Pals! Lovely Tuesday over here!
Here is Yesterdays DB its still open: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
I wanted to discuss in this daily Bark about Christmas Tree's.
Some of you may not of put them up now maybe later. I got mine up last saturday. Usually my dogs play with the christmas tree and the ornaments on it thinking they are toys so how do you keep your dog from going bezerk on the Christmas tree? Or does your dog simply ignore it and has no business to do with it what's so ever?
*Be sure to put your poinsettias out of reach of your pets*
Daily Bark *30* Tuesday?
My 3 pretty much ignore the tree. The only thing they ever do is occasionally come away with tinsel stuck to them from wagging too close to the tree.
One of my cats years ago liked playing with the ornaments. I'd find ornaments all over the floor in the morning. I had one small, red ball that I started hanging very low on the tree which was his to play with. As long as he could play with that one, he left everything else alone. Pretty clever for a cat!!
Reply:Thanks Ana...good point about the poinsettias. My dogs aren't interested in my Christmas tree at all. It's almost like they have no clue I changed the furniture around and now there's a huge tree in the living room! Ahh...they are so simple!
Reply:Hey AnaBell! We usually get and put our tree (real) up 2 weeks or so before Christmas. I dont have a dog at the time. But the last christmas's (spelling? lol) i had with my dog (choco. lab) she kind of ignored the tree she would sniff it a few times and leave it alone. =]
Reply:my oldest Lab is 4 and she has always left the tree alone but we have had to find and re-wrap presents. This year with her boys being 4 months old and having 2 of them to watch over, we have decide since the kids are older teens and young adults. that we are going to set a little tree on our dining room table with the presents underneath. this way everything is up high and the boys will have no chance of playing with the tree or opening presents before it is time.
I am really excited about watching the 2 boys on christmas morning, I really hope they open their presents. my 4 year old is so cute when she tears hers apart. She just had her birthday 3 days ago and tore her presents open and the 2 boys just kind of sat and watched her until they realized she had toys in all that paper.
Reply:Last year was Luca's first Christmas and believe it or not he totally ignored the Christmas tree. If we saw that he was starting to veer towards it we'd make a big deal about him getting close to it, yelling no and what not. He learned quick that it's just an area that he's not allowed to go. We'll see if he remembers this year. =)
Reply:Good morning Anabell. Every year we buy a tree the day after Thanksgiving. We have the tree setup downstair because the ceiling is higher. The dogs usually go check out the tree when it comes in. After the tree is setup, they are not allowed to go downstairs because they like to drink the tree water and chew the lights. I put up the baby gate so they cannog go downstair. Since the dogs run around the house, we don't buy poinsettias or holly.
P.S. Where are these thumb downs coming from?
Reply:my dog used to be terrible with the christmas tree but last year we trained sammy to stay away from the tree. whenever he went near it we told him no and we went and got him and eventually he got the idea that, that isnt something to be meddled with so he leaves it alone except when he wants to lay under the tree and sleep. which he does pretty often. but he doesnt meddle with it at all. chase just never messed with it so with him it takes no training.
Reply:My tree isn't up yet. I will probably put it up the 1st week of December.
My cat likes to sleep under the tree and bat the ornaments and makes them fall off.
Last year he knocked an ornament off and my dog got ahold of it. It was a glass ball and the dog chewed it all up he had glass in his mouth and swallowed some of it. He was alrighty luckily.
I am more worried about them gettin a hold of the electrical wires though.
Luckily my tree is an artificial pre-lit tree and the cord is all the way near the top so my dogs can't get to the cord and I put my tree ontop of a wooden box so it is harder for them to reach the ornmaents and other things.
My dogs will try to get the ornaments off and play with them though too.. So I don't put anything near the bottom anymore.
I heard with the real trees that dogs shouldn't get near them because of the pine getting into the treestand it can be toxic. So that is a real danger. I won't do real trees anymore. Plus there is no pine needles to clean up after or anything like that.
Oh I never use tinsel on my tree either. That is a hazard as well.
Reply:We don't put up a Christmas tree.. 2 intact male Dobermans, and a tree in the house.. It just is a bad idea..
Reply:My dogs are mildly curious the first day it goes up. One thing I am careful with is the ornaments, no ornaments on the lower branches. I've had years that they have helped themselves to what ever looks interesting. My cat is the one who would be nibbling on the poinsettias. HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Reply:Sydney is always kind of amazed by the presence of a tree INSIDE- even though we don't get real ones. She doesn't have anything to do with it though. This is our first Christmas with Louie though, so we don't know how he'll be with it. I don't want to have to put a gate around it, so I hope he doesn't treat it how I expect him to- as a big toy that's there for him to have his way with. Needless to say- we won't have any ornaments on the bottom portion of the tree that he can reach.
Reply:our dogs never mess with the tree...or any plant for that matter...

I put up the baby gate so they cannog go downstair. Since the dogs run around the house, we don't buy poinsettias or holly.
P.S. Where are these thumb downs coming from?
Reply:my dog used to be terrible with the christmas tree but last year we trained sammy to stay away from the tree. whenever he went near it we told him no and we went and got him and eventually he got the idea that, that isnt something to be meddled with so he leaves it alone except when he wants to lay under the tree and sleep. which he does pretty often. but he doesnt meddle with it at all. chase just never messed with it so with him it takes no training.
Reply:My tree isn't up yet. I will probably put it up the 1st week of December.
My cat likes to sleep under the tree and bat the ornaments and makes them fall off.
Last year he knocked an ornament off and my dog got ahold of it. It was a glass ball and the dog chewed it all up he had glass in his mouth and swallowed some of it. He was alrighty luckily.
I am more worried about them gettin a hold of the electrical wires though.
Luckily my tree is an artificial pre-lit tree and the cord is all the way near the top so my dogs can't get to the cord and I put my tree ontop of a wooden box so it is harder for them to reach the ornmaents and other things.
My dogs will try to get the ornaments off and play with them though too.. So I don't put anything near the bottom anymore.
I heard with the real trees that dogs shouldn't get near them because of the pine getting into the treestand it can be toxic. So that is a real danger. I won't do real trees anymore. Plus there is no pine needles to clean up after or anything like that.
Oh I never use tinsel on my tree either. That is a hazard as well.
Reply:We don't put up a Christmas tree.. 2 intact male Dobermans, and a tree in the house.. It just is a bad idea..
Reply:My dogs are mildly curious the first day it goes up. One thing I am careful with is the ornaments, no ornaments on the lower branches. I've had years that they have helped themselves to what ever looks interesting. My cat is the one who would be nibbling on the poinsettias. HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Reply:Sydney is always kind of amazed by the presence of a tree INSIDE- even though we don't get real ones. She doesn't have anything to do with it though. This is our first Christmas with Louie though, so we don't know how he'll be with it. I don't want to have to put a gate around it, so I hope he doesn't treat it how I expect him to- as a big toy that's there for him to have his way with. Needless to say- we won't have any ornaments on the bottom portion of the tree that he can reach.
Reply:our dogs never mess with the tree...or any plant for that matter...
What's the best type of food to give to a Pointsettia?
We want our poinsettias to be red by Christmas.
What's the best type of food to give to a Pointsettia?
Miracle Grow usually works on just about all plants. I'd give that a try.
Reply:If it is a left over from last year good luck. It has to have been in a dark place for months. If you just bought one an even fertilizer with a low first number such as a 5-5-5 will be best.

Favors/place cards?
I am trying to stick to a budget, but still want things nice. My wedding is in December, and so I picked dark green and white for my colors.
I am thinking about combining the placecards/favors. My idea was to purchase small white poinsettias (I have a family member who will be getting the for me wholesale), and print out the place cards at home. I would use those clear card holders florists use to put the place cards in the flowers. Everyone will take their plant to the table with them.
I will have large white candles in the center of the table (The table cloths are dark green), and I thought that the flowers would be a nice way to make the tables prettier without spending a fortune on fancy centerpieces, and then everyone could take the plant with them.
What do you think?
Favors/place cards?
It sounds lovely, as long as they aren't too big, or you aren't expecting guests to place them in the center to act as a centerpiece.
Since not everyone is probably going to want a plant, you could perhaps donate the extras to a nursing home or a womens shelter.
(My wedding is in January, and I am planning on having pointettias, too! I wasn't sure if it was a good idea...I'm glad someone else is doing that!)
Reply:I think it's a good idea, but only as long as the flowers don't get to be too big in the middle of the table. (And as long as they're the right height so that the candles don't light the flowers on fire!) It's one thing for the table to look pretty and another for it to be a big garden that forces the plates off the table and keeps everyone from seeing the person across from them.
If you can avoid that, I think it's a perfect idea!
Reply:I think it's a great idea. The colors sound great for a December wedding.
The only issues I'd have is are the candles going to be lit around the plants? Because it could be a fire hazard... or will many kids be there? It could get knocked over and spread dirty all over the table.
So basically, keep the lit candles apart from the plant and make sure the tables are sturdy so they don't get knocked over. :-)
Best Wishes!
Reply:they sound ok, I am not a huge fan of favors in general, i think you can save money by leaving them out altogether. Not everyone will take their plant home
Reply:I think it sounds really pretty. I would love to see poinsettias used at a wedding!
Just one idea, you could also cluster them in the middle of the table so they ARE the actual centrepiece. If the candles are in the middle, the flowers are going to end up to the sides of their plates.
Reply:It sounds like it will be very pretty, just make sure there is enough room on the table for each person's plant along with the dishes, glasses, etc. People like to have space during the reception meal. Good luck to you, please wish me some too, I'm still trying to plan my reception for August!!!
Reply:It sounds beautiful.. Just make sure that the plants aren't so large or that you have a fairly large table.. if you have a large plant at every place setting then the guests may not be able to see each other to be able to talk with the other guests at their table.. Just a thought. :o) Good luck!
Reply:I think it would be very pretty, as long as you really will be saving money. I think there are many cheaper ways. But if you want them to double as centerpieces and favors, that's a great options. You may want to have the plant already sitting at the places when the guests arrive at the reception. Otherwise, guests may not place the plants to where they function as a centerpiece.
Reply:I think that's a great idea. But the plants should already be placed at the tables since that's the point behind having place cards, so your guests know where they are seated.
But I like the idea a lot. I'm not entirely crazy about the clear plastic floral picks though. What about attaching the card to a nicer flat stick (in between two pieces of cardstock) and tying a color coordinated ribbon around the base of the stick?
Also, I was thinking instead of poinsettia's, you could use a different type of winter hardy potted flower. It's just that it seems a little too Christmas Holiday to me. Just because it falls in December doesn't mean you need poinsettias. There are plenty of beautiful Winter themes.
Reply:i think its a pretty idea and very economical as you pointed out the poinsettias will be pretty up the table beautifully and it solves the favour issue. also with their being white they won't be associated quite so much with Christmas as if you chose red ones!
but i do agree with anna about having the flowers at the tables already with the place cards, otherwise you may have folks placing the flowers willy-nilly and it won't be as perfect as you want it!
have you checked with your venue about candles? more and more places are vetoing the use of real candles due to fire hazards and insurance issues! perhaps flameless candles?
all in all i think your idea is a stroke of genius and your man is getting a pretty darn smart wife! happy wedding sweetie!
Reply:It is perfect. You are being economical, thrifty and still staying within your theme. BRAVO!
Make sure there will be enough room on the tables for the 6-10 plants + everything else.
Good Luck and Happy Planning!
Reply:i think that sounds great. Props to you for not using the ever boring Hershey kisses as a favor! I like the idea of getting a poinsetta at Christmas! very nice!

What do I do with my nails??
My company Christmas party is this Saturday, and I've scheduled my regular nail appointment for that morning. I religiously go with the pink %26amp; white powder. I want to kick it up a notch for the party. I don't want to do any 'nail art' like painting poinsettias on them or something like that. My dress is a formal, floor length black dress with silver beaded straps. My sister in law said I should go with red powder on the tips instead of white. Would that be too gaudy? I was thinking of maybe using a clear glitter powder, so they're sparkly, but not overpowering. Any other suggestions????
What do I do with my nails??
Go with polishing them a glossy black like OPI Black Onyx
and I know you said no nail art but I tell you getting some little silver bells or snowflakes on the tips would really look cute, a perfect match for your overall attire. You should be able to find snowflakes in sticker form at least at Sally beauty supply and maybe even silver bells but you might have to paint them on but I do think that would look very great.
Reply:I like your Sister in laws idea and also yours,so either one would be fine.I like to get mine red with white snow flakes on top of my nails.
Reply:OPI makes a beautiful pealized white its not white its pearlized so don't think white-out look. this would be beautiful with black~
Reply:the glitter sounds really cute. i got that once and i loved it!! sooo cute!!!
Reply:The glitter sounds nice to me.
Reply:This fall and winter, dark is back in. black is very chic. Also, very dark reds and dark jewel tones. Check OPI's website for The Russian Collection. But at something like a Christmas party, you can get away with bright reds too. But ONLY on short, squared off nails! These colors on long nails would look gothic or gaudy. Short, pretty nails, with a chic color are very sexy.... and unless you're 14 or under, no glitter. :)
Reply:I would either go with a complete natural shade or go with a black on the tips to match your gown!

Winter wedding flowers - HELP!!!!?
I am getting married on December 1st at a candlelight service ... we are using a snowflake theme. Everything is coming together beautifully except the flowers... I am wearing an Ivory dress and my maid of honor is wearing a black chiffon dress and flowergirl ivory w/ black roses embrodered on it. Does anyone have any ideas for the flowers? I really don't want all light colored flowers or poinsettias HELP!!!
Winter wedding flowers - HELP!!!!?
Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
How beautiful!! A candlelight service....very romantic and elegant!
Have you gone to a florist to have a consultation or are you doing the floral arrangements yourself with silks? Personally, I LOVE real flowers....it doesn't need to be a huge arrangement.
My choices would be:
Bride: Red roses!! Very romantic
Maid of honor: Ivory colored roses --- which would look so nice against the black dress.
Flower Girl: Maybe a mixture of red and ivory roses? I love the kissing balls for flower girls to carry:
http://search.msn.com/images/results.asp...
Or, a simple basket of roses is beautiful also.
If you are using real flowers, go to a florist and look through their books. They can guide you and give you suggestions. They will also work within whatever budget you have.
Good luck!
Reply:Red roses would be nice (maybe with some silver accents). If you want to go with the winter theme, holly and ivy would also be pretty. Also, lillies or gerbera daisies are always nice.
Reply:Deep Red Roses accented with pine or cedar and sprigs of berries. The bouquets will stand out in pictures against yours and your bridesmaids gowns. If you want to break the red up even more at a few mini calla lily or baby's breath.
Reply:My daughter had a winter wedding, white dress, black BM's dresses, red roses. Berries added to bouquets. Sprigs of wispy evergreen in large alter pieces. Looked beautiful.
Reply:Deep red roses with cream roses would look beautiful with the ivory and black.
Reply:Contact a florist in your area,and find out what flowers are in season in the winter time. Discuss your colors, theme,and what you would like. Good luck.
Reply:ok... they seem to have the flower thing covered... this is my little two cents about how to make any flower you pick more wintery...
Find some LONG pine needles, and incorperate them into your bouquet. It adds height and texture, and can usually be picked outta somebodys back yard. It will take any flower you use and put that winter spin on it.
Just an idea.
Reply:go to http://www.blossomsweddingflowers.com/ for some information. Hope the site will help you
Reply:It's YOUR wedding so use whatever YOU think is beautiful. Too many brides get caught up in doing what is "in season" or "trendy"....it's YOUR day, the kind of flower doesnt matter as long as it makes you smile and look as beautiful as Im sure you are going to that day! Congrats!
Reply:Most all flowers are available year round now. Bouquet of Black Baccarra Roses( So dark red they look black) would work beautifully for you. A bouquet of Virginia roses(Creamy color) for the maid of honor. Flower girl can throw a mixture of these two color petals or carry a Tussie Mussie of the 2 mixed roses. If you don't want the Christmas look go with mixed flowers in all jewel tones. Makes for great beautiful pictures.
Reply:Go for a consultation with a respected florist. They can give you tons of good ideas.
Roses are always a classic choice, not matter the time of year. You can't use black roses to match the dresses (obviously), so choose another color theme for your florist to base the flowers on.

What plants are bad for cats?
i moved recently into a house with a lot of plants. she got sick twice since we've been here and it seems to be plants because there is nothing else here that would harm her. to be specific, are there any cacti that are bad and are poinsettias bad?

Azalea Incoordination, trembling, collapse
Cactus Punctures skin, infection
Caladium Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shaking head, difficulty breathing
Creeping Charlie Vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, cramps
Easter Lily All parts can cause kidney failure
Dieffenbachia Affects central nervous system

The Pastor where I work is not compassionate at all & a perfectionist?
I've worked at churches before and the pastors there were compassionate, kind, understanding. But the one where I work now doesn't seem like she's cut out to be a pastor (it is her 2nd career). She is nitpicky (heaven forbid I miss a comma/period), I feel intimidated whenever she is around me, I have asked her if I could put my mother's name in the church bulletin %26amp; she replied no, my mother is not a member (my mom is in a nursing home with Dementia, I have asked her for prayer for myself (personal matter that I was going thru) %26amp; she wouldn't even do that - she told me I needed to see a therapist. The reason I gave in %26amp; wrote on here was I had the Easter Lily list all ready (I set it up the way it was done last year, and the way the Christmas Poinsettias were set up also) %26amp; she made me change the set up. It's Holy Week, I am pressured - I had caught up the Friday before Holy Week %26amp; now I'm behind again. To top it off, I can't quit - I need the benefits %26amp; wages - what should i do?
The Pastor where I work is not compassionate at all %26amp; a perfectionist?
I feel sorry for you. Sounds like she wasn't able to achieve what she wanted to in life and now she's taking it out on others around her.
One of the unfortunate truths in life is that when you have to stay around someone because you need them, you are at their mercy. If it were me, I would look diligently for another job and pray hard about it.
If there is a higher-up you can discuss this with, by all means do so. But be aware that could make the problem worse, if you complain about her and she finds out about it.
Maybe confront her in a very nice manner and flat out ask if she doesn't like you. Most people, when it is put right too them, will realize how foolish they are acting. It can be a good way to diffuse the situation if it is brought to light that she is being mean to you for no good reason.
Best of luck to you.
Reply:What can I say, she is a christian.
Look into Buddhism.
It is a far more compassionate thought system.
Love and blessings Don
Reply:It is clear (for many reasons) she is not meant to be a pastor.
Beyond the fact she is a she, (yes, God gave definite roles.) it should be OBVIOUS.
Reply:If this is your job, do as your boss expects. Ask questions as to how things should be done if you are unsure.
As for personal advice, go elsewhere. This is a job and you don't bring your personal life to work. Likewise you don't bring your work home with you.
You have options. You can always take your bosses attitude to their boss. Yes even pastors have bosses. You can start looking for another job. Or You can find a more compassionate church home and keep the job you have.
Reply:Why don't you blame God, that always works, Or maybe pray we know that one works. OOOORRRRRR hit him were it hurts and see if he has any.
Reply:I've been there before...!
There is only two answers if it is becoming more than you can handle. Remember God will not give you more than you can handle.
1. Step up~ don't be so meek that you can not confront with boldness the things that YOU know about someone, if it will ultimately further the kingdom of God. If she is a minister... keep in mind not one gift is better than the other. So that does not make you lower than her... you need to address things if they are hindering your ministry to work for the church.
YOU CAN INITIATE THIS BY:
asking if she's doing okay,
inviting her to go eat lunch,

Personally, I would address the issue by letting her know you have noticed she has been very busy and behind on things and see if there is anything you can do to help. Do this in a friendly character not as a secretary... ask for more responsibility so that things can get done... then establish a trust by praying for her or with her...
(this is why women shouldn't be pastors)
Reply:Look for another job. Not everyone in churches are right with God. It sounds like you got one of those people for a boss.
Reply:She sounds like she chose the wrong career. Personally I would never attend a church with a woman leader because I think I relate better to a man speaking. Anyway if she would have said those things to me, especially about my mother I would be pissed. I think that if you have any friends in the church you need to see how the general congregation feels about her and look into replacing her.
Reply:Anyone who would put a therapist above God should not be a pastor. I'm sorry you're being subjected to this woman. I understand your needs, but I would strongly suggest getting a new job. Good luck and God bless!
Reply:This ignorant "B" is just mean and "received her calling" in order to get her money for nothing.
There is no obligation for preachers to be kind, compassionate, or loving. Many, through out history, have been tyrants or supported by tyrants.
Sweetie, put your mother's name or whomever you want on the list and don't worry about this minor tyrant.
Reply:It sounds like you do not have a realistic view of a job. You are an employee and your supervisor has certain expectations. They are different from what was expected of you before. You will have to change to work with this new supervisor or find another job. If you don't like the atmosphere then you can start looking elsewhere for employment.
I agree that a pastor should be compassionate, and that this woman does not seem to understand what being a pastor is all about, but that has nothing to do with your job.
Step it up or you might just get fired. I'm sorry to have to say that, but it's the cold, hard truth.
Reply:I despair. I can get thousands of thumbs down for this opinion...
But you need to go find a more Bible-Based congregation of Believers.
"see a THERapist?" GOD is our therapist when we are a Christian.
Jesus is our therapy.
It would take too long to list reasons why I say go- but basically, you need to go find a real Spirit filled bunch of believers.
That Church has gone over into a "business" and merely an "organized religion". It needs real religion, real life.
Reply:Try telling them to err is human. Sounds like she hear the wrong call for drill Sargent.
The Pastor where I work is not compassionate at all %26amp; a perfectionist?
I feel sorry for you. Sounds like she wasn't able to achieve what she wanted to in life and now she's taking it out on others around her.
One of the unfortunate truths in life is that when you have to stay around someone because you need them, you are at their mercy. If it were me, I would look diligently for another job and pray hard about it.
If there is a higher-up you can discuss this with, by all means do so. But be aware that could make the problem worse, if you complain about her and she finds out about it.
Maybe confront her in a very nice manner and flat out ask if she doesn't like you. Most people, when it is put right too them, will realize how foolish they are acting. It can be a good way to diffuse the situation if it is brought to light that she is being mean to you for no good reason.
Best of luck to you.
Reply:What can I say, she is a christian.
Look into Buddhism.
It is a far more compassionate thought system.
Love and blessings Don
Reply:It is clear (for many reasons) she is not meant to be a pastor.
Beyond the fact she is a she, (yes, God gave definite roles.) it should be OBVIOUS.
Reply:If this is your job, do as your boss expects. Ask questions as to how things should be done if you are unsure.
As for personal advice, go elsewhere. This is a job and you don't bring your personal life to work. Likewise you don't bring your work home with you.
You have options. You can always take your bosses attitude to their boss. Yes even pastors have bosses. You can start looking for another job. Or You can find a more compassionate church home and keep the job you have.
Reply:Why don't you blame God, that always works, Or maybe pray we know that one works. OOOORRRRRR hit him were it hurts and see if he has any.
Reply:I've been there before...!
There is only two answers if it is becoming more than you can handle. Remember God will not give you more than you can handle.
1. Step up~ don't be so meek that you can not confront with boldness the things that YOU know about someone, if it will ultimately further the kingdom of God. If she is a minister... keep in mind not one gift is better than the other. So that does not make you lower than her... you need to address things if they are hindering your ministry to work for the church.
YOU CAN INITIATE THIS BY:
asking if she's doing okay,
inviting her to go eat lunch,
come in a little early or leave a little late a few times just to have an open ear.
2. Continue to be a humble servent to your master (boss).

What colors to use for a late November wedding?
I am getting married 11/29/08, which is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I am kind of stuck on which colors to use. The church will already have the Christmas wreaths up, but the poinsettias will not be there yet. I am not really wanting to do a Christmas theme, since it won't be December quite yet. I am not really liking the oranges and yellows for fall either. The dresses I am looking at for me are all ivory or champagne in color. I really want to have the bridesmaids dresses a dark color and was thinking red (like a dark crimson) or even a burgundy. Will this look too Christmasy? If so, what are some other good color combinations that I could choose. We are planning a late afternoon wedding and getting married in Dallas. The weather here cold be 70 and sunny or it could be cold in the 40s. Thanks for any suggestions!
What colors to use for a late November wedding?
I like a dark dark red or burgandy also. You could offset it with some dusty rose in the flowers or something to make it less christmasy.
Reply:I would stay away from the Fall and Christmas colors entirely. Have you seen the regal purple color that is out--it is kind of a violet blue--royal blue in some lights, dark purple in others. You could do creamy white and yellow flowers (think garden roses, dahlias, mums, yellow freesia), maybe accented with bittersweet or copper toned mums or touches of gold. I would do dressy fabrics like silk, taffeta, or brocade. Would be lovely with a diamond white or ivory wedding dress and that regal purple color looks great on almost everyone. Check out JCrew online to see the color--they will also send you a swatch of fabric at no charge.
Reply:dark lavender and dark greens are very pretty
Reply:It sounds like a winter wedding. Very rich strong colors and bold color schemes. That is very fitting for a winter wedding. I think Burgundy is a great color for the bridesmaids. I do not think your idea is too Christmas like.
Reply:try to look for autumn colors...like gold, brown, orange...champagne is actually good and so is burgundy...at least if you go for autumn colors its like a combination of christmas and thanksgiving altogether :)
congratulations in advanced!!! :D
Reply:I dont think it will be too Christmasy with the reds if they/you arent carrying christmasy flowers... And as long as you dont do apple red and stick to a burgundy or one with a little purple... then thats not christmasy at all...
Reply:Advice someone just gave me while I was concerned about colors for an outdooe wedding. You dont have to get anything to go with the green, any color that can be found in a flower will go with green. That being said If you dont like yellows and oranges dont go with them no law says a November wedding must have those colors. If you like red go for it but if you are afraid of a christmasy look lean toward one with a purple tone like burgandy, or even a purple with a red tone.
Reply:Try a very dark emerald green and ivory with pine cones as accent. Beautiful winter theme
Reply:forest green!
Reply:A dark burgundy dress will look fine but a dark cranberry or plum might be better because it will eliminate the Christmas look you want to avoid. Something like the color called "Berry" from Alfred Angelo would be nice.You could have them wear navy or dark blue and carry white flowers with some pink accents. That would be very wintery without being holiday inspired.
Reply:Chrimson and dark burgundy are christmas colors. Try like a dark hot pink with orange and black. Theres several flowers that go with this color theme and many things you can do to the wreaths to incorporate them.
Reply:Check out the fall colors like the colors of a tree a rusty orange/brown/yellow. A friend of mind have a fall wedding and the colors were very nice.

Any bouquet ideas for a winter wedding??
I know poinsettias are a very affordable options for that time of year, but I'm just not in love with them. Any flower suggestions?
And also, our colours are dark purple, chocolate brown, and ivory.
Thanks!!

I think that the gerbera daisies are a beautiful flower; they are also fairly affordable.
They have some beautiful calla lilies that come in a plum color, but they are more on the expensive side. Here is a picture of them...gorgeous flowers:

You could also try to find some deep purple tulips. Then you could pair them with the white gerbera daisies and wrap them in a brown ribbon. I think that would look nice together.
Reply:I had a winter wedding along time ago but I had white (fake) fur muffs for us girls to hold that had poinsettias, holly and ivy attached, mine just had more flowers.
Purple calla lillies, stephanotis and brown ribbon wrapping the stems?

Need title suggestions for a quilt design?
Hi, I have a new pattern coming out and I can't seem to name it. It's white poinsettias on a deep fushia/maroony background. I like my titles a little light and fun (other quilt patterns are called Feelin' Hot Hot Pink, Pansy for your Thoughts, Snowflake Sizzle for example) and for some reason cannot come up with something for this. If anyone has a suggestion, I would love it! Thank you!

Now to your question, not knowing what your quilt will look like, the only thing I can come up with is Dreaming of a White Christmas.
Can't wait to see what title you'll come up with - have your site bookmarked for updates.

Where are some good locations in San Diego to take family pictures for Christmas Cards?
We are looking for a great background for our family photo for our Christmas cards this year. We were thinking of poinsettias but I don't think the flower fields have poinsettias this year. Any good suggestions?
Where are some good locations in San Diego to take family pictures for Christmas Cards?
How about in front of your decorated home, inside your home, in front of a Christmas tree, near the waterfront or in front of a San Diego Landmark.

Does this horticulture dude like me?
I havent known him for a long time, I dont talk to him alot though. So, like, I randomly joined this horticulture club thing, while we were talking about trips for the club, he just goes off and says, "I'll take care of her." and casually wraps his arm around me, on the topic of the safety of trips and stuff. I have also seen him one time while I was leaving class for gym. his class was waay far away and he decided to walk and talk with me. Ever since that, he has been walking randomly into my classroom going to his locker when he doesnt really have to. But the most recent thing that happened today, I had my Poinsettias with me and I was just walking with him, his teacher goes, "Help her carry her Poinsettias! You are always a worthless piece of you-know-what." and then he decided to help carry my Poinsettias home. Just before he left to go his way home, he was like, "I would carry these home for you but I have alot of homework to do." Bad part is he smokes and drinks. help!
Does this horticulture dude like me?
If you don't like the fact that he drinks and smokes, then all the rest can be pretty much thrown out. He sounds young and immature. It's a nice little "learn what a relationship is like" little puppy-love situation, but doesn't sound too serious at all.
Reply:let's face it: if he really liked you, he would have carried them home with you. He might have been waiting for you to request him to help, but guys tend to grab the first opportunity to spend as much time with the people we like as we can. Check it out. It's #3 and #7 on the list.

Is the poinsettia a native or exotic plant to florida???
Flowers Native or exotic???????
Exotic.
Pointsettias are native to Mexico and Central America.
EDIT : I have no idea if it's used in medicines.

Can I ship a live potted plant using the US Postal Service?
I'd like to send a poinsettia to a faraway aunt for Christmas
Can I ship a live potted plant using the US Postal Service?
best thing to do is to contact a florist and have one delivered to her, FTD will do that. There is no shipping anything, you just pay for it and they contact their florist in where ever and it is delivered. Poinsettias are so fragile, they break so easily, that I would not even attempt to ship one. Besides it would cost more than the plant is worth.
Reply:Yes, but check where you are sending it for restrictions. California, Arizona and Florida are States that do not permit agricultural products to be shipped in. There are more also. I send plants and cuttings all over the U.S. except where not permitted.
