I love nice smell! I have loads of green plants in my home but would like to have ideas of something I can have on a regular basis inside that gives off a nice fragance. I do not have a clue as to what to buy and I would really like to know of something that would not require too much care. I can do the plants but do not have much of a green thumb. Thanks!

Anyone have any ideas on how to clean artificial plants, flowers?
I do have the real things in my home but in the bedroom I have several plants and/or flowers that really need a good dusting. I do not think I should put them under water. I would rather have the real plants all over the house but have to be careful of some because of my furkids. Thanks!

It is nice to see Avon fans on the postings. I would like to invite you to shop from home and receive your products directly at your door. I would love to be your rep. You can visit my website, order, pay via credit or debit and have direct shipping to your home. It's free to register and orders right now over $30 receive free shipping. No fuss. www.youravon.com/ndombrowski I've uploaded the brochures on the site. There are all kinds of tips and new and fun items. I read about your favorite fragrances. I've found a new favorite in Goddess. I got some for my daughter for Christmas. Smells so good. They have a new one out now called Christian Lacroix ROUGE, the color of passion. It comes in For Her and For Him. The new Patrick Dempsey UNSCRIPTED is a fave for the man in your life. Please visit. I'd be happy to see you there. If you're interested in earning some money of your own, it only takes $10 to be in business for yourself. Being an MT, I find it nice to have another avenue of earning and socializing. Have a great day.

I did put up an ad on the main board. I posted three today. I know how hard it is to be an MT alone and thought someone might be interested in extra work if not for buying. I have seen other like ads. Nothing phishy or fishy about my ads though, just wanted to clarify. Have a wonderful day.
You bet! Their poop is greasy and foul-smelling! Ugh..If the room can't

I hate when the docs say foul smelling diarrhea
when does diarrhea ever not smell foul??? I also hate when they say creamy white sputum - makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
I just like a nice-smelling, sexy guys' shampoo myself.

Purulent foul-smelling brown liquid was drained...

Flowers
I've had several close people die and frankly everyone bringing food is a good thought but we had to go to shelters to get rid of a lot of it.
Flowers for you!
Hi Hayseed!
I don't have your email address anymore, so I will send you to see flowers I chose for you! Have a great day! Hope this works.
Thank you for all your help in the past. I really appreciated it!

Plants
Put a plant on it! If it is big, a large fern ought to do it!
Oh you're killin' me with those flowers!
Man, it's gonna be weeks before we even see a hint of green, as first we have to go through "mud season" up here. April showers usually follow March's snow melt and boy oh boy is it a mess! I do think my pussy willows are about to come into bud and that's always a treat :) Usually it starts really greening up in May, but no one dares go outside to confirm it because of the friggin' black flies!
 Ah, gotta love New England!
I planted flowers! Too bad we were supposed
to be buying grass seed. We completely forgot the grass seed, and bought impatiens and flowering ground covers and tall blue flowering plants and some purple accent plants. Got some dirt too, and got on the road and said GRASS SEED?!!
I got the impatiens in, moved a dwarf hydranga that has never flowerered where it it is, and a put in a few other flowers and it started sprinkling and getting dark, so I had to come inside.
It was fun playing in the dirt again. But it's grass we need to make our yard look better. It's just not as fun as FLOWERS! http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif
I have no clue as to what type the flowers are
just know they are a beautiful shade of purple, hopefully still are. I just brought some English ivy back from his home and plan on planting that in something containable because would not put outside to run. Also, get this, I will have flowers galore when I finish. I am going to get some of his purple iris when they lose their bloom (which is July or the next 2 months) but I have places to put those out at my home. Just wish I could bring 1 of his big ole magnolia trees home. By the way south Georgia but do not know my zone- have seen on a planting map before but just not sure right now. My hydrangea, by the way, has bloomed big at the bottom of the plant but last years limbs are just dead- is this what they normally do? I really babied this plant, put covers over it when had some early frost so have really tried with it.
Do you mean cut flowers to bring inside,
or do you want an inside plant that blooms?
I am an outside gardener myself. If it's outside flowers you are interested, where do you live or what is your zone?
Late summer flowers
Maine is probably in the same zone as Siberia, so these may not work for you in Indiana.
My garden is now finally in full bloom, though we have not had the heat like the rest of the country and every day starts with fog. It is a very pleasant 75 degrees here right now and sunny.
Perennials currently blooming: Tall phlox, Rose of Sharon, butterfly bush, day lilies, yellow roses. Asters are loaded with buds. I put my indoor plants out for the summer and my Christmas cactus is huge and in full bloom!
Annuals: Geraniums, pansies (they came back full force after 'resting' in late June/July), inpatients, cosmos, trailing licorice, sunflowers, petunias, Helio double-pinks, phlox.
I don't allow my husband to buy overpriced flowers...sm
that day. When we were engaged he made the mistake of ordering flowers and we'll just say it turned into quite an ordeal that before it was over with I ended up with 13 dozen roses and couldn't get them to stop sending them every day or 2 (he ordered 1 small arrangement without roses and it went crazy from there!).
We'll probably just grill some steaks and swap out small gifts, nothing extravagant.
Thank you - belated card and flowers to you :-) sm
I can't figure out why some people get treated well and others don't. I think maybe those of us who take care of others a lot are just taken for granted...I just don't know what it is. Thank you for caring!
all of those plants are pretty well known -
but how many flower arrangements have lillies - and I had never heard about that. So - no cut flowers either. Nope, he had never had any wet food in his entire life. The vet is still perplexed - we have done renal ultrasounds and blood work. His BUN and creatinines were off the charts. I frankly don't know how he is still alive at this point.
Me, too. My plastic plants die. nm

They don't seem to bother my plants
at all. They do, however, ravage my birdfeeders this time of year and throughout the winter. I used to wage war against them but I've softened in my old age. Now I figure they need to eat and survive too so I just let them be.
Fertilize the plants with him. (NM)

How do you clean artificial plants? (sm)
Seriously - the green ones (not flowers) how do you get the dust off of them? LOL
The problem is that these drapes have pastelly pattern of flowers - sm
which I think is a beautiful pattern and at the time I had them made I figured she would not outgrow the pattern, but apparently she has. Now I have these really expensive drapes that I don't want to give up, but she is upset because she does not want them anymore. I thought if I could "paint" them or dye them with some other pattern, we could keep them and she and I would both be happy....[sigh]
Dull leaves on my household plants
Ok, I give up. What can you use to make the leaves shiny, mayonnaise or baby oil or just what? Thanks
For really big plants, I put cotton socks on my hands and just rub

Can't give you any advice of keeping plants alive, I'm
lucky my children are still living. LOL!
Plants will attract gnats, as will ripe fruit.
If the gnats are congregated in one area, sticky bug cards will help catch them for you. Or you can kill them by spraying them directly with an ammonia-based cleaner like many glass-cleaning formulas.
Might be able to use fabric paint on some of the flowers and find a funky trim/border at a

You can grow tomato plants upside down from hanging pots, too.

Larege amount of horses at packing plants/feed lots
coincidentally happen to be TBs. They are a huge throw-away market. Once they are done racing, unless they are one of the incredibly lucky few to be adopted out to knowledgable homes for other careers or are of breeding quality, they usually don't wind up in too good of a place afterwards. I'm a nobody, and I've had 3 of these throw-aways land in my lap. Yes, there are some responsible owners/breeders who ensure these animals are taken care of for the rest of their days, racing career or not, then there are an awful lot of others who see them as the cash crops they are and nothing more.
Great shade plants are coleus, ferns, hostas, begonias

My plants died when husband still alive but after he died
surprisingly I grew lots of plants and still have them. My housekeeper says he was the devil and that is why the plants died. I was just as bad as you back then, killed artificial plants.
