FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersYou need to go to the Flower District. It is on Fannin and San Jacinto streets between Binz and Wheeler streets. Basically between the Medical Center and Midtown.





Coming from the Med Center head north on San Jacinto (you will find this street near Park Plaza Hospital and the Light Rail Station). You will start seeing Flower Shop within a few blocks.





Coming from Midtown head south on Fannin Street. You will come to an intersection where the Light Rail will cross in front of you and the Freeway is above you. After this intersection you will see the flower shops.





If you take the Light Rail get off at the either the Wheeler Station and start walking south or the Museum of Fine Arts Station and start walking north. Be careful at the Wheeler Station that area is a gathering area for the homeless.yahoo finance

Should I send flowers (and a couple other questions)?

I just went on a second date with this woman on Satuday night. It consisted of dinner at a really nice restaurant and a movie we both enjoyed. She was talkative and enthusiastic, and I believe she really enjoyed our evening as much as I did. We did not talk at all the next day; I made a point of not calling, so as to avoid sounding overeager. Also, I did not go for a goodnight kiss, even though it was our second date. Your thoughts?





Anyway, all that being said, I%26#039;ve been struck with the bright idea of sending her flowers tomorrow. She works late, which means she wouldn%26#039;t be home in time for a delivery, so I wanna take the gamble and send them to her workplace. It%26#039;ll be a simple arrangement, like a bouquet - I figure a dozen red roses would be too bold a statement.





Yea or nay?

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersFirst, If you werent comfortable kissing her yet, then you did the right thing, kiss her when you fell you are ready.





Second, flowers seem like a good idea, most women will like flowers any time =). Good luck!
Reply:what a sweetie :)





take your time and do what feels right.


send flowers no woman will reject flowers.


yea for sure


good luck
Reply:yes. we women love flowers and getting them sent to her work gives you all the more brownie points. not calling was good. we don%26#039;t like clingy, but no kiss on the second date. a peck would%26#039;vr suited. at any rate, you sound like a keeper. i am sure she is swept off of her feet. keep up the good dating habit.
Reply:Yes BUT not the red roses, they represent love, you know %26quot;I love you%26quot; love... unless if that%26#039;s how you feel
Reply:yeah! Send the flowers but make sure you have a note attached telling her you enjoyed the date and you would love a third date and call her with further detail
Reply:I would and just put on the card something like I enjoyed our date how about another soon? That way you are thanking her for the date and asking for another without sounding to eager!
Reply:Aw, you sound like a sweet guy. Lucky girl. I would be flattered if someone sent me flowers at work. I would try something a little less bold than the dozen roses though. Save that for later on in the relationiship ;) Keep it simple. Good luck :)
Reply:Never push somebody - because you are already blind.


Some people needs more time to make their mind. You want give all the candy in the world to her. But be realistic what she really knows about you. Gun shut viva love - do you want give her the flowers every week to the rest of your life.??
Reply:A bouquet sounds good....but not red roses though, it%26#039;ll look like you%26#039;re trying too hard....go for something small and subtle but that%26#039;ll leave an impact.....maybe four lovely lilies tied together with a nice satin ribbon (this is just a suggestion, by the way).....whichever flowers you choose, she%26#039;ll be grateful of the fact that you took the intiative to show that you appreciate her....good luck:)
Reply:I would wait on the flowers. But call her!! Dont forget Sweetest day is Saturday. Ask her out fot Fri or Sat...see what is best for her.


If you want to friend flowers ...do it for Sweetest Day. Dont do red roses yet...go for pink and white.
Reply:Wow what a lucky lady to hv found u, go for it, but put ur phone nomber on the card, if shes really interested she will call u, at the very least to say thanks, then go from there, if no call well u no where u stand. good Luck.
Reply:no, bring her flowers on a date,this is more appropriate,than sending them to work,you send to work,when you know her better.
Reply:good job not kissing on the second date,you should just let the feelings flow.yes you should send her flowers and it should say something like this_just wanted to let you know that i was thinking of you, and have a great day.!


I hope you have a great relationship with this girl.





p.s.- go with white daises and on the card include- well you go on a third date with me.-make it a fun date. you need to teach her something on the date- that way ya%26#039;ll can get close.


EX. go make something together.
Reply:She wouldn%26#039;t have gone on a second date with you if she wasn%26#039;t interested. She%26#039;s probably going to be confused when she receives the flowers, because you haven%26#039;t called her, which is a far more attentive thing to do with a woman you%26#039;re interested in. Call her, and hope it%26#039;s not too late, because by not following up with a phone call to say how much you enjoyed her company the previous evening, you%26#039;re sending mixed messages with a flower arrangement. I know she%26#039;s probably thinking %26#039;why didn%26#039;t he call?%26#039;. Call her immediately and ask her out on a third date. This time, follow up with a phone call the next day.
Reply:i think it%26#039;s really sweet. shows you are thinking about her.
Reply:No , you will look like a needy wuss , man really hows sending flowers going to create attraction it wont work. Period . Youl look like a dork whoes trying to impress her . Belive me yor acting too despirate she will ignore you if you keep it up .
Reply:I think that sending her flowers at work would be fine. She would like it if others knew she was considered special. But you are right about the roses, Red roses mean love and seriousness. Send her yellow roses or some other types of flowers that make a statement. Leave a simple note with them, like, I was just thinking of you today, and wanted to let you know I had a great time the other night. And I hope we can have more, give me a call. That way you are not overly eager and your letting her decide what she wants to do.
Reply:yea
Reply:I think that%26#039;s a great! I would love if my boyfriend would have done that! I think you are definitely right about not going with the full blown dozen of red roses...save that for later, further into the relationship. I also agree with what someone mentioned before me about sending a card with the flowers telling her that you had fun and ask her if she%26#039;s up for another date. By what you said she does sound pretty interested, so I don%26#039;t believe your making a mistake by sending the flowers and the card (if you%26#039;re going to do it). Good luck and I hope she loves it as much as a lot of us girls would!.
Reply:I think that would be lovely, especially if you send a simple little arrangment with a short note or something like that. I agree with you about the roses - that might be a bit much, but otherwise I think that%26#039;s very thoughtful.





About the goodnight kiss, I think as long as both of you had a good time and it felt right, not going for a kiss is totally acceptable. If by chance she misinterpreted it for not being interested I%26#039;m sure the flowers will get the right message across, anyway!
Reply:Yes!! Go for it! She would absolutely love it!visual arts

Did you win?

Two old ladies were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress. One leaned over and said, %26quot;Life is so darn boring. We never have any fun anymore. For $5.00, I%26#039;d take my clothes off and streak through that stupid flower show!%26quot;








%26quot;You%26#039;re on!%26quot; said the other old lady, holding up a $5.00 bill.








The first fumbled her way out of her clothes and, completely naked, streaked through the front door of the flower show. Waiting outside, her friend soon heard a huge com-motion inside the hall, followed by loud applause. The naked lady burst out through the door surrounded by a cheering crowd.

Say
FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersI hear you describe petunia%26#039;s.


Lovely colours, cheap, strong, flower all summer long.


To help her a bit, get a wide, round, low pot with a water reservoir at the bottom - many plastic pots have this. The best kind will let the reservoir overflow if you overfill it.


Fill it up with soil and the plants - all she has to do is water it every so often. With the reservoir it%26#039;ll be good for a week at least.

Reply:Cactus? haha, just kidding.


I think mommyof2beautyqueens%26#039;s idea probably works. (;
Reply:Here%26#039;s something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:





Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two and family would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!





The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.





Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.





Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.





This is a really beautiful poem too!


Women have strengths that amaze us.


They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.


They smile when they want to scream.


They sing when they want to cry.


They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.


They fight for what they believe in.


They stand up for injustice.


They don%26#039;t take %26quot;no%26quot; for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.


They go without new shoes so their children can have them.


They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.


They love unconditionally.


They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.


They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.


They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.


They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.


Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.


They%26#039;ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.


The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!


Women do more than just give birth.


They bring joy and hope.


They give compassion and ideals.


They give moral support to their family and friends.


Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Artificial Flowers?

What is an easy/home made way to clean artificial flowers? These are the silk kind. They are in a small ceramic bowl and won%26#039;t come out. How can I clean them without messing up the arrangement?? any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Artificial Flowers?
Say
FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersThe salt idea works if you do not have a complicated arrangement. Otherwise, you will be finding salt around it and coming out of it for months to come. It gets caught in the blooms and is a nightmare later, but that is the only way to get the salt to totally clean the arrangement.





If it is only dusty, use canned air. You can get it at the computer stores and in the big box discounters. Blast the dust off and use the tube attachment to get into the blooms.





If it is really dirty and just blasting leaves a dirty residue on the flowers, use Silk Flower Cleaner, available for $1.99 at the craft stores (it is cheaper here than at the florists). A word of caution using the cleaner, however. Either put it in the sink when treating it or take it outside, surround it with plastic and then spray it or you will have a mess. I like to do mine outside when it is sunny and warm because it dries faster. That being said, you have to saturate the blooms and leaves until they are dripping and those drips are filthy. You stop spraying once the drips run clear. If you choose the sink method, you can hit it with a blow-dryer set on low to dry it faster.
Reply:Wash them with a moist cloth.
Reply:Pour salt over the whole container; into a bag then holding onto the container upside down in the bag, shake thoroughly, the salt should be very dirty when you are done.
Reply:There is a spray that you can get from any floral department at the grocery store. You just spray it on and that%26#039;s it. Just go and ask them for it.computer

My flowers are in shock?

I think my flowers (mostly tulips) are in shock. I had to dig up the whole garden yesterday in order to rid it of a bunch of weeds and clovers and to make the arrangement look more symmetric...but now they are laying flat and won%26#039;t stand straight.





I%26#039;ve given plenty of water and miracle grow to help them....but what else can I do to make them stand up tall again?
My flowers are in shock?
Say
FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersThis is typical, and is called transplant shock. Some plants handle transplanting much better than others; some will totally curl up and die. Ever try to transplant a poppy? Most bulb plants including tulips survive transplanting fine, however they very likely will not do anything this season.





Now that you’ve done this, fall would have been a better time to have done your thorough weeding job.
Reply:leave them alone ,and you might get lucky enough to have the bulbs absorb the plant growth ,and bloom next season. I%26#039;m only saying lucky ,because of the 20/20/20 fertilization that you gave them might rot the bulb .you see a bulb s food is the dying vegetation that it produces ,meaning that it is SELF feeding.
Reply:If the bulbs are showing you have no chance. Sound like you have desturbed the bulbs but there is%26#039;nt much else you can do,exept if they are new flowers then tie a cane to them.
Reply:I personally wouldn%26#039;t have done the miracle grow. If they are already in shock they aren%26#039;t going to need the extra stimulation. I would just conctinue to water and see what happens.
Reply:did you move the tulips??


your best bet is to leave them alone and don%26#039;t over water them either


and stay away from the miracle grow, I never use that stuff and my flowers and veggies do fine

My man had 18 roses delivered to my work - Now We're FIGHTING!?
