determine the parent phenotypes of two progeny (F1) that came from the same parental cross (P1). Both progeny have white flowers. Rank the following pairs of potential parents in the order of increasing likelihood that they produced the progeny:
(i) pink snapdragon X pink snapdragon;
(ii) red snapdragon X white snapdragon;
(iii) pink snapdragon X white snapdragon.
b.) Repeat what you did in (a) for the following progeny: two white, one pink and two red flowers.
Really need help with part B of this question please look at it??
A) = ii) i) iii)
i) odds of white 1:4
ii) odds of white 0:4
iii) odds of white 2:4
B) = i)
im not sure how to rank them because the answer must be a cross between 2 pink flowers because a red and white cross cannot produce and white and a pink and white cross cannot produce any red flowers. So the only possibility that could produce two white, one pink and two red is a pink, pink cross.

Does Your Cat Strugle When You Need To Give It A Tablet??? Read On!?
How To Give Your Cat A Pill
Grasp cat firmly in your arms. Cradle its head on your elbow, just as if you were giving a baby a bottle.
Coo confidently, "That's a nice kitty". Drop the pill in its mouth.
Retrieve cat from top of lamp %26amp; pill from under sofa.
Follow the same procedure as in 1, but hold cats front paws down with left hand
%26amp; back paws down with elbow of right arm. Poke pill into its mouth with right forefinger.
Retrieve cat from under bed. Get new pill from bottle (resist impulse to get new cat).
Again proceed as in 1 except when you have cat firmly cradled in bottle feeding position, sit on edge of chair, fold your torso over cat, bring your right hand over your left elbow, open cats mouth by lifting the upper jaw %26amp; pop pill in quickly! Since your head is down by your knees, you won't be able to see what you are doing. That's just as well.
Leave cat hanging on drapes. Leave pill in your hair.
If you're a woman, have a good cry. If you're a man, have a good cry.
Now pull yourself together. Who's the boss here anyway? Retrieve cat %26amp; pill. Assuming position 1, say sternly, "Who's the boss here anyway?" Open cats mouth, take pill %26amp; ..... oops!
This isn't working, is it? Collapse %26amp; think. Aha! Those flashing slashing claws are causing the chaos her, aren't they?
Crawl to the linen closet licking your wounds. Drag back a large beach towel. Spread the towel on the floor.
Retrieve cat from kitchen counter %26amp; pill from potted plant.
Spread cat on towel near one end with its head over long edge.
Flatten cats front %26amp; back legs over its stomach (resist impluse to flatten cat).
Roll cat in towel. Work fast; time and tabbies wait for now man - or woman!
Resume position 1. Rotate left hand to cat's head. Press its mouth at the jaw hinges like opening the petals of a snapdragon.
Drop it into cats mouth %26amp; poke gently. Voila! its done.
Vacuum up loose fur (the cat's). Apply bandages to wounds (yours).
Take two aspirins %26amp; lie down.

My Poor Tall Snapdragons!?
They have grown 2.5 feet tall since March and were looking superb. But now they are wilting one by one. I undug one to see the roots. They were white and not slimy - not rotted from overwatering. I live in GA. It is 85 degrees here already but their soil is very well prepared, soft and absorbs water well, but yet has good drainage. The wilted plants are still green with buds but just hang down. Couldn't find any insects or mice. All the affected plants are on the west side on the garden. All the good ones are on the east side! Very mysterious!
My Poor Tall Snapdragons!?
The west sun might be too hot for them. Test by shading one in the hot afternoon and see it it perks up. Our west sun is a real killer here in our zone.

Rank the following pairs of potential parents in the order of increasing likelihood that they produced the pro
Snapdragons are angiosperms (flowering plants) that exhibit incomplete dominance in the inheritance of flower color. Your colleague collected progeny from several snapdragon crosses. Then she threw out the parents… along with her lab notebook. As a result, she has no record of which parental crosses gave rise to which sets of progeny.
a.) She asks you to determine the parent phenotypes of two progeny (F1) that came from the same parental cross (P1). Both progeny have white flowers. Rank the following pairs of potential parents in the order of increasing likelihood that they produced the progeny:
(i) pink snapdragon X pink snapdragon;
(ii) red snapdragon X white snapdragon;
(iii) pink snapdragon X white snapdragon.
b.) Repeat what you did in (a) for the following progeny: two white, one pink and two red flowers.
For both (a) and (b), explain your reasoning for each ranking in words and by drawing Punnett Squares.
Rank the following pairs of potential parents in the order of increasing likelihood that they produced the pro
A key point in answering is to understand incomplete dominance: the phenotype of the offspring is intermediate between the parental phenotypes (it appears the parental types "blended", rather than the offspring showing only the phenotype of the dominant allele.) So which parental types in the example have MORE white in them, and therefore would be MORE likely to produce white offspring? Another hint: in order to be red, the plant must have only the dominant R alleles.

If white snapdragon flowers are incompletely dominant to red snapdragon flowers, then the result of fertilization between 2 pink flowers would be
a. 3/4 red and 1/4 white offspring
b. half white and half red offspring.
c. 1:2:1 phenotype and genotype ratio
d. 3/4 white and 1/4 red offspring
e. all pink flowers
Biology homework plz help?
just form a table where R represents the red dominant gene and r the other recessive one and then multiply them(think of the --- as blank spaces, i had to put them there for the letters to be in the right places):
------R ------r
R---RR-----rR
r ----rR------rr
Therefore 1 red, 2 pink and 1 white so the answer should be (c) 1:2:1 phenotype and genotype ratio
a. 3/4 red and 1/4 white offspring
b. half white and half red offspring.
c. 1:2:1 phenotype and genotype ratio
d. 3/4 white and 1/4 red offspring

Tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r). The heteroz?
Tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r). The heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color. A dwarf, red snapdragon is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers. What are the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individuals?
a. ttRr-dwarf and pink
b. ttrr--dwarf and white
c. TtRr--tall and red
d. TtRr--tall and pink
e. TTRR--tall and red
Tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r). The heteroz?
The answer is D.
Crossing -- dwarf red flower x homozygous tall white flower
Genotype -- (ttRR) x (TTrr)
Genotype segregation -- (t) (t) (R) (R) x (T) (T) (r) (r)

DIY Reception Centerpieces - Can I do it?
After receiving such expensive quotes from florists I think I am going to attempt to do them on my own, but need an opinion. Our wedding is in the evening in October. Our colors are chocolate brown with sage green accents.
For the main centerpiece, 28 inch square glass vase filled with pears. Coming out of the top I will have branches and orange snapdragons (see pic for snapdragon).
http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa284...
http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa284...
I will also have two smaller arrangements on each table that will be small glass cubes filled with natural stones. They will have 3 roses (orange, champagne and red) and a bunch of berries (Hypercium).
What do you think? Does that work? Any suggestions?
THANKS!
DIY Reception Centerpieces - Can I do it?
i would not do so many arragements id do the smaller one on certin tables an tall ones on others but not all together unless you plan to have oblong tables i say leave it with the 28 inch vase with pears and branches with some crystals draped off of it and 4 or 5 snapdradon sprigged out of it keep it simple and if you want to bring it down to a nice glow then add candles around and dont do the rocks in them
Reply:That sounds great, just give yourself lots of time and recruit the bridesmaids or family to help you out!
Reply:Sounds good to me.
Reply:These ideas sound lovely! Good luck with them.
Reply:I think it sounds pretty. Don't get too much on each table. Less is better than too much. My daughter was married in October and we used small pumpkins and ivy.
Reply:Sounds like a beautiful idea you have. I am sure you can do it, just be careful not to put too much pressure on yourself. You don't mention how many tables you need to prepare or how much help you have. The best advice I have for you is to do as much as possible in advance.
The roses and hypercium are hardy as long as you keep them in a cool enviornment. And, obviously, the pears will be fine. While snap dragons are gorgeous, they are quite fragile and may not hold up long enough to be able to work with them in advance. As you probably know, they are also not in season in October, so you may be looking at a big expense there, if they are available at all, unless you are attempting to grow your own (which can be difficult to count on with success and timing of blooming.)
You may want to consider mums, mini-roses, orange sunflowers, or gerberas. They are all hardy and readily available in the fall.
I also suggest doing a trial run well in advance of your wedding. This will give you the opportunity to make sure that your vision plays out they way you hope and you can see how long it takes to put each centerpiece together so you know how much time to alot to complete each one.
Best wishes %26amp; Congratulations!
PS: You don't mention if you are able to have candles - some venues don't allow open flame. If this is the case, you can still add some light to your arrangments, take a peek at some floral lytes (some can even go in the water) - http://www.floralaccentlights.com/... or even battery operated candles http://www.100candles.com/battery_candle...
Both are available many places, I just included the links so you can see what I am talking about.

Reply:I think that will look great and be fairly easy. I suggest using some Hanging Amaranthus in the tall arrangments to give a little more movement. It comes in a great green color .
The small arrangments sound great as well. Make sure you wash your stones very well so they dont contaiminate the water, it can kill your flowers pretty quickly.
Reply:My wedding day is in September. We want to make this 5 hours (ceremony + reception) as simple as possible. To us, the most important thing is to have good food and good entertainment. Everything else can be simplified.
My center piece will be 16" tall silk flower in a glass bowl filled with colored stones. We are doing it ourselves. And it can be done. To do fresh flowers yourselves will be difficult. Because you can not do it too early, and you need lots of rest before the big day. Consider silk flower if you like.

Dying snapdragons?
So we planted snapdragons at the start of summer vacation. Unfortunately, that same night we got a hard rain, and most of our snapdragons seemed to limp and wilt (they can't even stand up straight), and they haven't gotten any better. Now the ones that kind of made it through the rain are losing their blooms, as well. I would really like them to be healthy again, but I don't know what to do! I've been watering them everyday. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for your help.
Dying snapdragons?
first...stop watering. You said the heavy rainfall was the cause of their suffering. Why are you trying to drown them. they don't like soggy feet.
Reply:The only true maintenance needed with snapdragons would be cutting the plants back and watering deeply in the summer heat after flowers fade. Often this will cause another flush of blooms in the fall. Many gardeners, however, prefer to leave one or two flower stalks to ripen and self-sow seedlings for the next year.

4. A true-breeding red snapdragon was crossed to a true-breeding white snapdragon. The F1 progeny were red. When F1*F1 matings were made, the following F2 progeny were observed:
1850 red
670 pink
831 white
Total: 3351
What are the appropriate parental, F1, and F2 genotypes in order to explain the above results?
(b) What phenotypic ratio would be expected from a testcross of an F1 snapdragon?
(c) Suppose the white phenotype is now lethal. What phenotypic ratio would be expected from a cross between F1 individuals?
Please help me understand this question. More important than the answer.

Reply:What you are dealing with here is imcomplete dominance. Instead of two alleles, one dominant and one recessive, as in regular Mendelian genetics, neither red nor white alleles dominate. However, I do not agree with what your teacher told you happened in the F1 generation. If you crossed purebred red (RR) with purebred white (WW), you should get 100% pink (RW). Then in the F2 generation, you should get a ratio of 1:2:1 (Red:Pink:White). That is not the ratio your teacher gave you. In b), the testcross of RW x WW should give you a 1:1 ratio (pink to white). In c), if the white phenotype is now lethal, you should get 1/3 red to 2/3 pink.
Maybe you should ask your teacher to clarify the question.

Flower or weeds?
so i planted some flower seeds in my front yard, zinnia, snapdragon, moonflower, and a california poppy, all at the same time its been two week now, and im curious, how do i know which is the flower and which is the weeds??
Flower or weeds?
Let them grow up together for a little while until you can tell what is a definite weed and what is a definite little flower. If you pull the weeds (or what you think are weeds) up now you could inadvertently pull up flowers and even disturbing the soil around young seedlings can disturb their roots and kill them off. Just like the parable of the wheat and the chaff in Matthew 13:24-30. :)
Reply:Here's a great site for you to go to that has photos of the seedlings of manual plants.
Also don't be scared by the words
monocots means one vein direction like a grass plant or palm tree
dicot means viens that go in mutiple directions like a tree branch.
California poppies have leaves that look like silver ferns and are a bluish green color.
If you see a plant in the yard else where and not in your garden it's a weed. Also weeds grow faster than flower seeds in general.
Reply:On the back of the seed packets there should be a diagram of the seedlings leaf pattern and a days to germination time frame. Use these to guide you as they are spot on for me .
Reply:All a weed is is a plant out of place. If you like it, call it a flower. :-)
Reply:Well, not one of your seeds will be over one inch tall yet, so pick everything that is taller than that!

Genetics! pls help! thank you very much?
in snapdragons, if red-flowered plants are pollinated by white-flowered plants, the offspring have pink flowers. Draw a Punnett swuare to show (a)result of crossing red-flowered and white-flowered plants and (b)then allowing their offspring to self-pollinate. what are the phenotype ratios in each case?
pls help.. i don't understand this question...
thank u
Genetics! pls help! thank you very much?
Assume there is one gene for flower color:
R is the red allele
r is the white allele
RR is red
Rr is pink
rr is white
Crossing red(RR) and white(rr) flowers
.....R......R
r...Rr.....Rr
r...Rr.....Rr
All pink flowers
--------------------------------------...
The cross of two pink (Rr) flowers:
.....R.......r
R..RR...Rr
r...Rr.....rr
This gives a red:pink:white ratio of 1:2:1.
Reply:thanks for answering my question.. im sorry i wasn't able to pick a best answer coz i didn't have much time to decide.. but i was able to read your answer and use it... thanks a lot! Report It
Reply:It's an example of incomplete dominance (if you don't know that already, look it up and study some more).
R=Red
r=White
For this phenotypic ratio, I am using RR:Rr:rr, because it is incomplete dominance, as opposed to RR and Rr:rr, with a regular example
r r
R Rr Rr
R Rr Rr
It says that that all of this generation, known as F1(F for Filial), that all of the offspring will be pink, the phenotypic ration is 0:4:0

pls help.. i don't understand this question...
thank u
Genetics! pls help! thank you very much?
Assume there is one gene for flower color:
R is the red allele
r is the white allele
RR is red
Rr is pink
rr is white
Crossing red(RR) and white(rr) flowers
.....R......R
r...Rr.....Rr
r...Rr.....Rr
All pink flowers
--------------------------------------...
The cross of two pink (Rr) flowers:
.....R.......r
R..RR...Rr
r...Rr.....rr
This gives a red:pink:white ratio of 1:2:1.
Reply:thanks for answering my question.. im sorry i wasn't able to pick a best answer coz i didn't have much time to decide.. but i was able to read your answer and use it... thanks a lot! Report It
Reply:It's an example of incomplete dominance (if you don't know that already, look it up and study some more).
R=Red
r=White
For this phenotypic ratio, I am using RR:Rr:rr, because it is incomplete dominance, as opposed to RR and Rr:rr, with a regular example
r r
R Rr Rr
R Rr Rr
It says that that all of this generation, known as F1(F for Filial), that all of the offspring will be pink, the phenotypic ration is 0:4:0
When allowed to self-pollinate, this Punnett square occurs,
R r
R RR Rr
r Rr rr
In this generation, known as F2, the phenotypic ratio is 1:2:1.

Flower mites?
I have these tiny yellow bugs that are infesting my snapdragons and petunias. What are they and how can I get rid of them without killing my flowers?
Flower mites?
I also suggest getting a spray bottle. If at all possible one with a pump, to put some pressure behind the water. Mix up some soapy water (dawn dish water liquid), and spray liberally over all plants. Do this atleast once to twice a week and see if it diminishes the infestation. Also you can buy lady bugs to release onto your plants. They eat aphids and mites. and really keep the population of the aphids way down. You can order ladybugs on line from a garden center.
Reply:if u get a loupe (magnifying glass) and look at them... aphids will have two little exhaust pipe looking things and mites will still be kinda hard to see with a magnifier...
i take a squirt of dawn dish detergent and put it in a spray bottle and spray the plant on both sides of the leaves and seems to keep them in control
this works by suffocating them
Reply:Not sure but migh be aphids. Are they chewing holes or just sucking the nutrients? There are a number of things such as Eight that will work on either chewing or sucking bugs. You can get an insecticile in powder form ora liquid spray. Check with your local garden center--not home depot or wall mart garden centers.

Do snails eat violas or snapdragons?
Title says it all :)
Do snails eat violas or snapdragons?
Snails and their cousin the slugs will eat any plant that has green smooth leaves. They avoid leaves that are hairy or are rough textured. They also avoid ferny fine leaves.
They eat violia species that have smooth leaves and not the hairy leaves ones. They hate snapdragons because they are hairy and small.
Reply:Yes. They will eat anything that isn't moving and doesn't have spines.
Reply:Both, they eat almost anything that's a plant

Can anyone tell me the name of this disney movie?
I am trying to discover the name of this movie and if I can get it on video. It's kind of from around the 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' era, except it has a kind of Tom Thumb theme. There's this little miniature guy that has adventures with I think two full sized children and their grandfather. There is one part where the tom thumb character has all of these fairies lined up and he's picking one to be his wife. All of the fairies have flower names and he picks Violet, and there ends up being a huge fight about it because the fairy king wants him to marry one named Snapdragon. Does anyone remember this movie? I used to love it when I was a kid.

Snapdragons????
Do they have to be in direct sunlight part of the time the whole time or not in the sun at all.
Snapdragons????
Snapdragons do best in full sun, but can tolerate partial shade.
Reply:Snapdragons can take full sun but will grow in parcel shade.So some of the time.
Reply:when they are just seeds or seedlings make sure they get about 8 hours of light each day.
it'd be best if they got most sunlight afterwards but they can tolerate light shade

Snapdragons exhibit incomplete dominance.?
Snapdragons exhibit incomplete dominance. If two F1 hybrids from the same parental cross both exhibited white flowers, which of the following crosses is most likely to be the parents: (A) pink snapdragon X pink snapdragon; (B) red snapdragon X white snapdragon; OR (C) pink snapdragon X white snapdragon. Explain your answer clearly and be sure to address each of the options separately (HINT: Use Punnett Squares!).
Snapdragons exhibit incomplete dominance.?
The answer would be (C)
As u can see, the snapdragon exhibits incomplete dominance. Neither the colour red nor white is dominant. When crossed, u get a pink snapdragon.
Lets take the alphabet r for red and w for white
(A) rw x rw
You would get the genotype and phenotype ratio of 1 : 2 : 1 to represent red : pink : white
(B) rr x ww
All offsprings would be pink in colour
(C) Rw x ww
You would get the genotype and phenotype ratio of 2 : 2 to represent pink : white
(C) would most likely be the parents as there is a 50-50 chance in getting either a pink or white offspring

Help me pick some flowers...?
My garden next year will be mostly pinks and blues with some yellows sprinked in. I will include any other plants I like also. Here is what I have now:
Dahlia
Lambs Ear
Carribean Crush Verbascum (If I can find it.)
Snapdragon
Hyacinth (Blue, Purple, Pink)
Gladiolus (Pink)
Narcissi (butter cup with white petals/pink center.)
Ranunculus
Freesia
and solid pink dianthus.
What are some other similar flowers that I could use?

Reply:Try Seashell Cosmos(light and dark pinks) and if you want a perennial, go for a Lilac tree, it will balance out the color scheme. Zinnias are good for height, they grow to 2-4ft in height, and work well for backgrounds.

What are a couple of your favorite flowers?
There are so many beautiful ones out there. I love Snapdragons, daffodils, gut here in Arizona I was able to grow two night-blooming flowers.
One is the Night-blooming Cereus Cactus flower. It gives off a pungently sweet aroma, only blooms in the solstice of Summer, is spectacular and beautiful. It stays open for only one night, then bloses as the sun rises.
The other is the Moonflower. It also opens at night, for only one night, and gives off a very similar fragrance.
They are both white and gorgeous. :-)

Direct sow? And Wisteria Question?
What does it mean when somethings says that you can direct sow certain plants? I read you can do this with snapdragons, alyssum, pansies, phlox, and verbana. I've really been getting into gardening the past few years but I'm a still new to some of the terminology. My assumption is that you can just throw the seeds, and they will grow, but is it really that easy?
Also, on a separate note: I'm thinking of adding a pergola to our back deck, and over the side it is about 4 feet to the ground from the deck floor. I am thinking of having wisteria growing over the pergola, but I have two questions about wisteria: One, does it take several years for it to begin flowering? I'd like to see flowers at least the second year, so if so, any suggestions on other vines? I'm zone 6. And two, will it be possible to plant the wisteria in the ground on the side of the deck and have it reach all the way up to the top of the pergola? Thanks guys.
Direct sow? And Wisteria Question?
as far as direct sow, yes... rake out soil to loosen and seed...
for wisteria look for the variety wisteria macrostachya it bloom in 2 -3 years... and needs partial or full sun to flower... they grow to 40 -45 ft so yes, it will reach the top... in time... try morning glories and moonflowers in the mean time ;)

In snapdragons, the allele that produces tall stems is completely dominant to the allele for dwarf stems,?
while the allele that produces red flowers is only partially dominant to that of white flowers. Describe the phentype (height and flower color) of the F1 plants reulting from a cross between a homozygous tall, red flowerred plant and homozygous dwarf, white flowered plant.If one of these F1 plants self-pollinates, what will be the appearance and proportions of phenotype in the resulting F2 generation? Which one of these two phentypes will breed true?
In snapdragons, the allele that produces tall stems is completely dominant to the allele for dwarf stems,?
1. When a homozygous tall, red flowered plant and homozygous dwarf, white flowered plant mate, the resulting F1 plant is as follows:
F1= height (tall)
color (red)
This is due to the tall red dominant trait is paired with a recessive white dwarf.
2. If one of these F1 plants self-pollinates to create an F2, the outcome depends on the chromosomes carried creating several variations. A Punnett Square can be used to show that. You would have the following variations:
9 red, tall
3 red, dwarfs
3 white, tall
1 white, dwarf
or as a 9:3:3:1 ratio
3. The phenotype which will breed true is the F2, since F1’s created tall red plants, so those tall red plants would create different variations like the above 9:3:3:1 ratio, and you are bound to get a pure one.
Reply:So you've got a TTrr x ttww, which would produce Ttrw F1 generation. It would be tall and pink, since tall is dominant and color is miscible. If the Ttrw selfs, it will give 1 short white, 1 short red, 2 short pink, 3 tall red, 3 tall white, 6 tall pink. Only the tallness will breed true.
kung fu
In snapdragons, the allele that produces tall stems is completely dominant to the allele for dwarf stems,?
1. When a homozygous tall, red flowered plant and homozygous dwarf, white flowered plant mate, the resulting F1 plant is as follows:
F1= height (tall)
color (red)
This is due to the tall red dominant trait is paired with a recessive white dwarf.
2. If one of these F1 plants self-pollinates to create an F2, the outcome depends on the chromosomes carried creating several variations. A Punnett Square can be used to show that. You would have the following variations:
9 red, tall
3 red, dwarfs
3 white, tall
1 white, dwarf
or as a 9:3:3:1 ratio
3. The phenotype which will breed true is the F2, since F1’s created tall red plants, so those tall red plants would create different variations like the above 9:3:3:1 ratio, and you are bound to get a pure one.

Snapdragons? gardeners help!!?
I live in zone 9(you need to find your zone) where we grow snaps in the ground in October and have blooms from March on until the heat gets them!!!! I have 480 planted right now in the garden. One half are the 'Rocket' series (36-40" high) and the other half are the 'Liberty' series (18" tall)..there are many cultivars such as 'Sonata' (about the height of Liberty but not the great colors)...remember you want lots of deep reds and bronzes to mix with the regular mix to create a colorful look. They are heavy feeders but don't really care so much about the soil they are in. My soil has clay in it so I add gypsum to break up the clods. There are also lots of dwarfs (about 8-10 inches tall) 'Floral Carpet' is one that spreads a lot. if you need anymore help feel free to email me....
Reply:they come in many colors, most popular are pink and yellow, they get to be as tall as 3 foot and they are very hardy, they need to be planted about april andxwill bloom through the whole summer
Reply:The page below will get you started. Provides basic info except colors - but you can go to any online seed supplier for that.
Reply:Snapdragons are such a great flower. They are an annual but depending on where you plant them I have had plants last up to 5 years they come in a variety of colors my favorites are light pink and they are only about 8 inches tall, I have Burgundy,and bright yellow and they get about 12 to 15 inches tall,I also have white and yellow ones that get about 2 feet tall.Snapdragons come in many colors and grow many different heights.They are not a big spreader unless you plant a bunch in a group.They bloom constantly throughout the summer and into the fall.I dont think the soil matters because I have different types of soils throughout my yard and they do good anywhere - they are like a weed one they get established they go crazy! This is truly a great and easy plant to grow!GREAT QWESTION!
Reply:Calif. They are a summer blooming flower. Grow assorted heights. Short, 6 in. To tall maybe 2 feet. colors, red yellow orange , probably more that's what i remember. good loamy soil that drains. Love the way their little faces snap back from an open mouth when pinched.
Reply:All colors.
all year in the south and summer in the north
depends on cultivar as there are small and big
ditto for how tall

My hydrangea will not flower.- Master Gardener RSVP.?
I moved into a home where the hygrangea was already established. I live in zone 7b. The garden soil has been amended with organic compost down to 1 1/2 feet, and there is a 2" red cedar mulch covering. All the other flowers are doing quite well (snapdragons, white salvia, impatients, paeony bushes, and celosia). The hydrangea is quite healthy, but has not flowered in 2 years. I do not prune, since leaves produce on old wood. I fertilize 2x per year, but not the hydrangea. I removed a paeony bush 2 years ago, but I was careful not to disturb the hydrangea root system (although I cannot be 100% sure).
I have my Horticulture certificate and Master's liscence in Florida, but living in PA is totally foreign to me. Could someone please help?
My hydrangea will not flower.- Master Gardener RSVP.?
well we have a hydrangea that flowers all the time - its in semi sun position... i prune back slightly, and water every second day during summer. Its not in special soil. maybe your compost is too strong and doesnt agree with it, or its not in the right position. I use slow break down fertiliser pellets (called rapid raiser in australia not sure if u have that) occasionally maybe twice a year.Dont know if this helps or not.

This is the North Carolina website that might help you out. Hydrangea's are temperamental plants, but beautiful when they bloom. I've killed three so far! Endless Summer is the best for our area, but I'm in Zone 5. This sight tells what's best for your area. Good Luckl!
Reply:Many of the florist-sold, potted hydrangeas aren't flower bud hardy. This is because they bloom on last years growth, and the flower buds die during the winter. You'll love 'Endless Summer', it blooms on both old and new wood.
Reply:Mine flowered this is it's first year. I use miracle shake ans feed and Epsom's. I also water it either daily on hot days or every other day on cooler days. Mine is also in mostly sun and no special soil. My zone hardiness is 5 and I haven't had a problem.
In fact where I am at the soil is poor dry and crumbly.

I am looking for 2 games, hopefully online, that we used to play in school. Is there any online versions?
One was this game i we used to play in like 2nd or 3rd grade. It was called snapdragon. You had to click on the colors, and then click to where you wanted to fill in the color.
the second game was the game, where you had to eat flies, and jump from like 5 or 6 different lilly pads, and avoid enemies..i think..help?

Can someone please help me? I'm a beginner gardener and I have a few questions:?
I'm new to gardening, but I have a about 12 flower beds with a couple here and there flower pots and other things. I really like gardening/growing flowers and plants, I have a few questions: Oh, and I live in zone 5, Ontario Canada.
1: After my potted fuschia's flowers fall off, there is this green stub, that turns into a burgandy berry type thing, can I plant it
somewhere else, and will it grow? And how?
2: I planted some Fireweed wildflowers in the bush. How much will they spread and when? They are invasive.
3: I bought some seed packets of Stocks, Larkspur, and Snapdragon, but they are all perannuals. When should I grow them next year? They are annual right? Thats what it says on the packet. And someone told me they wouldn't bloom at all.
4: I bought bulbs of Gladiolis, Lillies, and about 4 other flowers all coming up in mid to late summer. When should I plant them next spring.
5: What is are some good wildflower seeds I can buy, and what flowers are in it?
Thanks so much!
Can someone please help me? I'm a beginner gardener and I have a few questions:?
Wow I live between Toronto and Ottawa...Im zone 5 too and mostly I checked stuff on-line or read the packet, I planted seeds I bought from the dollar store in my planters in May and they are all just starting to flower this week.Mind you we have had a cold spell lately. Want to plant a berry thing...do it and see what happens. My snapdragon usually comes up every year but I didnt get anything this year...if you already planted your lillies...leave them where they are, maybe it was that hot spring we had...but my lilies didnt last long. Ive had no luck with wildflower seeds. The best things I have planted have been given to me by co-workers when they have had to thin out their overly healthy plants they have given me some to plant. You know they will thrive in our climate and they are free!! Hostas that were given to me last year are beautiful this year. I also planted carnations last year...and didnt get any flowers...but this year I have carnations everywhere and they are gorgeous!! The plant I was most excited about this year was endless summer hydrengea...it grows great in Ontario and blooms from spring to late fall. Flowers look great cut in the house and apparently you can dry them too...I havent tried that yet...They start white...turning pinkish and then finally blue!! Loblaws has nice flowers and I found the prices are cheaper than the local nurseries in my town.
I love gardening too...but its trial and error sometimes I think...I usually given plants a year or two and if the spot is wrong then I move them. For instance, my endless summer hydrengea is great and the flowers are lovely...but I didnt plant them in morning sun and afternoon shade...I dont know what I was thinking...and I want to move it next year so I get an even bigger plant, because apparently it can be very big!!
Reply:1) Berry like thing is seed pod. You will get better flowering of the plant if you snip them off. If you allow them to mature, enlarge and dry out, you will find seeds inside. You can plant them but the plant may not resemble the mother plant. Fuschia are not hardy outdoors in Ontario, if you plant them you will need to treat them like a house plant.
2) Fireweed will spread slowly in shade, it really would rather grow in sun.
3) Stocks, Larkspur and Snapdragon are annuals in Ontario. You should start the seeds indoors next March/April and they will be ready for planting outdoors in late May.
4) Glads are tender in Ontario. You plant the tubers in late May, they flower and then you dig up the tubers in late Sept and store over the winter. Most (but not all) lilies are winter hardy and can be left in the garden. Need the name of the other bulbs to offer advice.
5) Best to buy wildflower seed as individual species, not as a mix, the commercial mixes are often disappointing. Buy from a native plant specialty grower as wildflowers have special germination requirements and the specialty growers will send specific instructions. See the links below for Wildflower Farm an Acorus Restoration, two southern ont native plant seed suppliers.

Can someone tell me about these flowers, all of them are stocks and tall. Help?
Here is a list of seeds I have:
-Larkspur
-Lupins
-Stocks (ten weeks dwarf)
-Penstemon
-Snapdragon
-Salvia
Will these seeds survive over the winter? On most of them the expiry date is December 2008, or December 2009. How do I care for them? When do I plant most of them in the spring, should I start in doors? Which are perannuals and which are annuals? I live in Ontario, Zone 5. What else? I also have 35 gladioli bulbs. I just planted them in a pot, they probably won't bloom this year, i just planted them because i have to take them out in october because they could die over winter outside. How do I care for these too? All these stocks are going to planted in a border, which will probably be pretty nice, and full. And one last thing, I have a perannial Aubeitia, it says I was supposed to plant it inside in April, but I can't do it next year because the expiry date is December 2007. Should I plant them now? Will the bloom next year? Thanks!
Can someone tell me about these flowers, all of them are stocks and tall. Help?
I can only tell you of some of the flowers. Some larkspurs are self seeders which means the seeds will grow again next spring in your flower garden if they are left to go to seed now. The lupines are supposed to be perennial but of the many I've planted in NE MO, only one ever lasted more than 3 years and it was a wild one. My suggestion on the Aubeitia is to plant it now and maybe enjoy what you can. Most of the seeds will keep just fine until next year and then you can either start them early indoors or try your luck planting them in their intended beds. The glads can be kept to replant next year if properly cared for and stored in your basement for the winter. good luck

Do I really need to sow my Larkspur and Snapdragon seeds?
Were making a nice big flower garden this year, and i just bought some larkspur and snapdragon seeds. It says i should sow them inside for 6-8 weeks before planting. But do i need to? I hope its not to late for them. Oh, and frosting is over here. there is no more frost. what should i do with these seeds?
Do I really need to sow my Larkspur and Snapdragon seeds?
There is absolutely no need to plant inside. Plant them now. It may be too late, but it's worth a try.
Reply:if you plant them inside they will grow a bit faster in their early stages and be safer from predators but there is no reason why you can't just sow them direct. It's certainly not too late for snapdragons but larkspur (delphinium) often does not flower its first year anyway, although it may.

Preserving Annuals?
Do all annuals produce seeds? I would like to plant snapdragons and such in the spring but I would like a way to plant them again next year without buying more. Any advice on annuals?
Preserving Annuals?
Yes, they generally all produce seeds. Some self-seed more readily than others - and it also may depend on your climate. I'm in zone 6, and snapdragons self-seed quite well. Not all annuals will have seeds that can over-winter here.
If you're good at starting seedlings indoors, you could try collecting seeds after they ripen, saving them inside, and sowing them in flats n early spring in a sunny window. Or save them, and sow them outside at the right time. Or just shake the seed pods over the ground, and let them do it themselves.
I often merely trod on my dead marigolds...In June the following year I have babies coming up. When they get a couple sets of true leaves, I'll transplant them around - since they usually sprout about 100 individual plants all in virtually the same spot.

I often merely trod on my dead marigolds...In June the following year I have babies coming up. When they get a couple sets of true leaves, I'll transplant them around - since they usually sprout about 100 individual plants all in virtually the same spot.
Best flower's for Texas heat?
I recently moved into a new house and, oh my god, does it need a garden! I want to know what kind of flowers would do best in crazy Texas weather. Here recently, hot then freeze, hot for a while, then cold again. I'm not sure what flowers would be able to survive that much change. The spot were they will be is 50/50 on shade and sun. I love lily's and snapdragon's. Are those alright choices, or do I need to try to keep it more simple? Thanks, Kari

Esperanza, I think that's how you spell it but it blooms quite a bit and its very pretty
Reply:Growing up in Las Vegas snapdragons should do real well.
Depending on your preferences Cannas/ Elephant Ears (bulb plants) will do very well in Texas.
Coleus if watered daily or so
Geraniums should do just fine.
Stay away from your pansies/ and mums with the exception of the early spring or fall (March/Sept.)
Reply:Wow! Pat yourself on the back for getting the chance to learn about gardening! There are so many resources! One way to beat the heat is so incorporate Xeroscatic gardening! You can learn more about this at www.highcountrygardens.com !!! This is my favorite catalog and even if you don't buy the plants it teaches you sooo much about Xeric plants.
The word Xeric just means low water! There are tons of BEAUTIFUL perennials out there that don't require a lot of water once established and you can have a lush and inviting yard that people will woo over! I have been practicing Xeric gardening for many years now, if you'd like me to send some pictures to you of my yard for ideas let me know! Start off with high country gardens though! They are so much help!
Plants for your needs:
Coreopsis
Mints (Peppermint, spearmint, chocolate mint!!)
Catnip
Guara (Whirling butterfly's)
Salvia
Lambs ear
Ornamental Garlic
Shasta Daisy
Herbs (they are beautiful when they flower and use full too!)
So many more! Too many to name!!!

In snapdragons, purple is dominant to white.?
a.) if a homozygous purple is crossed w/ a homozygous white, what will be the phenotype and genotype of the F1 generation.
B.) what be the penotype and genotype of the F2 generation
please explain how i figure out F1%26amp; F2 generation
In snapdragons, purple is dominant to white.?
Use Mendel's square.
The F1 generation will be all heterozygous purples.
The F2 generation will be 25% purple homozygous, 50% purple heterozygous and 25% homozygous white.

Collecting Flower seeds now?
I have ALOT of different plants this year that I bought full grown, and some are already showing seed pods! I have never collected my own seeds before, but the seed pods I am seeing, some are already dry, open and empty. Just to name a few, are my portulaca, geraniums, snapdragon, and petunia. Are these seeds good to keep and plant next year or are they a fluke? I always thought seed pods weren't mature until fall.
Collecting Flower seeds now?
yes you can save and store seeds.. just keep them in a cool, dry place and label them so next year you have even more flowers.. i start my seeds in door in the very early spring... and then transplant them outside.. good luck!
Reply:The flowers you listed should be okay to collect seeds from. Seed production time depends on the type of plant and your location. Some plants are hybrids and the seeds from those plants most likely will not produce plants like you bought. They usually revert back to one of the unhybridized varieties of the plant, but even then you can get some quality plants from your "free" seeds.
Reply:Seeds form on flowers at different times. It just depends on the flowers. I save seeds from my plants to use later. It is a great way to save some money next year and you can share with friends.
Reply:I save seeds too. Any time they are starting to dry up, go ahead and pick them off. Put a paper towel on a plate, cookie sheet, etc and place the seeds on it to finish drying. If you don't, they will mold. After they are completely dry, put them in a baggie, label what it is, and pop them into your freezer until next year.When you get ready to plant next year, get them out of the freezer a couple of days before planting. Mine does really well this way.
Reply:u can also go with what mother nature is doing and let them do this naturally so they will seem to "come back" next year, which makes it seem as though they are perennials instead of actually being annuals! also to add to one of the answers up top..... do not and i repeat do not put ur seeds in ur freezer...... put em in ut fridge..... i put mine in the cheese compartment till i'm ready to use em! also when u r ready to use em.... soak em in a cup of water for at least 18 to 24 hours then direct sow them into soil.. be a pot or outside... they will germinate 75% faster this way then any other method! good luck and happy seed collecting!

Flower help?
I want to grow my own flowers for my wedding reception centerpieces. It will be in October. I live in Central Texas if that helps. I like the larkspur and snapdragon the stargazer lilies. Any ideas?
Flower help?
Remember, it will be quite hot when the are doing most of their growing. Larkspur is a cool weather plant so are snaps. Don't Stargazers need to go through a cooling? I would think about Sunflowers (with tight ray petals Sunny F1), or Zinnias, Celosia, Amaranthus You will need some sort of filler Eucalyptus maybe. Thats just off the top of my head.
Reply:Rose is always a good flower, and Chinese peony are huge and beautiful and have great fragrance. It use to be the favorite flower of the only female Chinese queen Wu ze tian in Tang dynesty.

Should i dead head petunias and snapdragons?
Hi Terri -
Yes...deadheading both petunias and snapdragons will help prolong the amount of time the plants will produce blooms.
Good luck!

My beautiful tall snapdragons are wilting! Help.?
They have been looking great and they've been watered plenty. Some look just great and some are wilting, buds and all. Why?
My beautiful tall snapdragons are wilting! Help.?
Be sure to push down around the base of them a little - sometimes there was some air pockets when they were being planted and sometimes a curious vole or mouse tunnels around the base to check them out when they are new - be sure the ground is firmed around them so air pockets and tunnels will be filled in - press gently but firmly and you may feel the difference between the ones that are not wilting and the ones that are - though sun and transplatation can cause temporary wilts as well.
Reply:If they're newly planted, give them time to adjust. Make sure to deadhead as needed. And don't forget to recite Shakespeare to them.
Reply:You might be overwatering them.
Or maybe you had a frost and they are wilting from that..
Or maybe they are not used to direct sun yet.

Which of the following crosses is most likely to be the parents?
Snapdragons exhibit incomplete dominance. If two F1 hybrids from the same parental cross both exhibited white flowers, which of the following crosses is most likely to be the parents: (A) pink snapdragon X pink snapdragon; (B) red snapdragon X white snapdragon; OR (C) pink snapdragon X white snapdragon. Explain your answer clearly and be sure to address each of the options separately
I tried using punnet squares but i could not figure it out...please help
Which of the following crosses is most likely to be the parents?
It is c - try using the metric calculus syndrome text by peter marisinel it will explain everything in exact detail - good luck
Reply:C. Pink and white will yield 1 pink: 1white in the offspring. 1/2 of the offspring should be white. That's the highest ratio of white in the problem. (Do RW x WW)
Pink = RW Red = RR White = WW
C. RW x WW
A. Pink and pink will yield 1 red: 2 pink: 1 white. - only 1/4 of the offspring would be white. (Do RW x RW.)
B. Red and white will yield all pink, no white. (Do RR x WW)

Want a wider variety of flowers to use for note card creations
What would be the exact placement directions for pressing and drying snapdragons or orchids. Thick flowers?
Use a razor knife to remove any of the flower that doesn't face forward. Dissect and bisect the snapdragon flower stem to reduce the thickness 50% when dry. RScott

Plants and Veggies with frost coming tonight....what to do?
I have the following plants and veggies outside planted already what is the best protection for one night of frost...tomato, peppers, broccoli, clematis, verbinia, snapdragons, new seedlings sunflowers coming up, gladioli's. I can't believe this it was just 80 and 90 degress last week. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Plants and Veggies with frost coming tonight....what to do?
Cover tomatoes, peppers, verbena, gladiolus and sunflowers with a cloth--like a sheet or old pillowcase. The broccoli and clematis should survive. Tomatoes and peppers will need to be well-covered since they are the most tender.
Reply:Just cover all your seedlings up overnight and remove the cover in the morning.
Newspaper is a good insulator although horticultural fleece is the best idea.
If you have nothing to cover them with, make a micro climate around them by blocking the frost - piles of rocks, stones, wood, lawn clippings close to the plants will protect them. And don't forget the old standby of plastic bottles with the bottoms cut off!
Reply:hi
i will also say cover them with plastic ,put some sticks around your plant so the plastic wont damage your new plants little sticks will keep away the plastic to touch or bend ur plants ,then in the corners u can use stones to put wait on it ,use big garden bags or any plastic sheet u have.
best of luck
Reply:In Montana we deal with this "weather" issue all the time.
If you have anything in pots, put them in your garage or house.
If you can find some solid topped buckets big enough to put over things in the garden, get to it! Some people use old nursery pots and put shop bags over them.
Get some rolls of clear plastic and cover what you can, holding it down with rocks and stakes, and staples.
Well get going...you are running out of time! ;o)
Reply:throw a sheet over them or a tarp. I've used sheets before and it's worked fine, you just need to keep the frost off, it doesn't matter if they get cold.

My snapdrogons are growing well & tall but aren't blooming well?
I have 2 pots with snapdragons and some planted in the ground. They get plenty of sunlight (all of my other blooming flowers: petunias, pansies, etc.) are blooming wonderfully. However, my snapdragons in one pot have a one or two blooms every 3 weeks or so and the others have not bloomed at all, yet they are growing quite well otherwise. Any advise?
My snapdrogons are growing well %26amp; tall but aren't blooming well?
also remember to deadhead the blooms that are there after they have died to encourage new blooms. you did not mention if these are first year or second year plants. if they are second year plants and are stringy looking instead of bushy you might need to pinch back some of the growth to encourage business and flower production-good luck!
Reply:With all flowering (well most) plants you need to dead head, which means remove the old part where the flowers came out, to encourage new growth. If you do this regularly you will be amazed at the difference. Also, it wouldn't hurt to feed your plants with something like Miracle Grow. they make a specific one for flowering plants.
Reply:Baby is correct. MiracleGro also makes a product called "bloom booster" -- targets the nutrient that encourages blooms. have fun.
Reply:feed them with miracle grow at every watering 1 little cup in one 10 gal water can that comes with the miracle grow ( follow direction on miracle grow )you get bigger and nicer plants

The resulting pink flowers which occur after crossing red and white snapdragons is most likely a result of ___
Definately INCOMPLETE dominance.....not co-dominance.
Complete dominance is when you have either the dominant or recessive phenotype seen...this is pretty much all the examples when we first learn about genetics....3 genotypes ( AA, Aa,aa) and 2 phenotypes...
Incomplete dominance is where you get a BLENDING of the parental characters...eg Red ( RR) and White (rr) parents...Rr (pink) offspring...so 3 genotypes and 3 phenotypes
CO-dominance is where you have more than 1 dominant trait and in offspring you will see BOTH dominant traits eg in cows you have Red and White coats ( both dominant) in offspring you will see Roan ( red AND white....not pink!)
Also see this in human blood types where A and B are both dominant ( and o is recessive) so you have A, B ,AB ( and O) blood types....AB where both dominant characteristics are seen.
JUST to clarify for you./
The resulting pink flowers which occur after crossing red and white snapdragons is most likely a result of ___
incomplete gene transfer or something i cant think of the exact term but im pretty sure its incomplete something

Definition: A form of intermediate inheritance in which heterozygous alleles are both expressed, resulting in a combined phenotype.
For example, in cross-pollination experiments between red and white snapdragon plants the resulting offspring are pink.

In snapdragons, red × white produce pink. What proportion of pink flowers are expected from the cross pink
A. 1/4 pink
B. all pink
C. 1/2 pink
D. 3/4 pink
E. no pink
In snapdragons, red × white produce pink. What proportion of pink flowers are expected from the cross pink
Your cross grid should look like this because both parents have one white allele and one red allele.

R---|--RR---|---RW
W--|--RW--|----WW
The Ratio is likely to be 1:1:2
The answer is B, 1/2 will be pink.
Reply:you mean the cross between two pinks then C is the answer. If you meant a red x white cross then B.
Reply:Crossing pink with pink?
Two possible answers: If we assume that the gene codes for both red and white (but that both produce pink) then it's
Answer A (traditional)

1/2 pink (rw)
Answer B
Be careful though, because in some cases involving color, subsequent generations do not revert.

Growing Snapdragons?
I recently bought some snapdragon plants. They're doing alright, but when I purchased them, they didn't have very many blooms and I thought I saw places where they would eventually bloom, but over time, they'be not done anything but start to die. I've done everything I can think of to make them grow...water and sunlight, that whole bit...is there anything i can do to make them grow and bloom better? I got tulips and pansies at the same time and they're doing just fine...is it something with the plants, or am I overwatering or too much sun? Anyone got any suggestions?
Growing Snapdragons?
Maybe you should try nutrients to get them to survive till you can see which seasons suit them...you'll have to keep them a whole year to figure that out. My hibiscuses did not flower for a whole 8 months after I bought them. I had almost given up on them. But now they flower okay in March-April. Did you try the Greenthumb spray- flowers bloom faster when you use it.
Reply:depending on where you live, i can't tell what you did to them or what happened.i live in minnesota, so it is way to early to put out any plants,even though the temps have been up there pretty good.tulips will do pretty good in the cooler weather, but snapdragons need nice hot and sunny weather.you will have to buy more i suppose when the weather gets better. did you save the plants, you could try taking them back where you got them for your money back or an exchange. good luck,susyq47...
Reply:Honestly, without a description of *how* your plants are failing to thrive, it's difficult to say. Are the leaves just turning yellow, and dropping? Do the bases of the plants look a little fungus-infected?
Also, what has the weather been like over there? The other poster may have something with the assertion that it's still too cold where you are to put them out. They don't need hot and sunny exactly, but they do tend to prefer weather that you don't have to wear a coat in.
Reply:what kind of ground do you have..good ole dirt or clay?...to much water will do damage and clay holds water alot longer

How do i cut flowers like snapdragons and foxgloves? Will they keep growing back?
After the bloom stalk was finished, cut it back to a couple of inches from the ground. Generally, foxgloves will produce secondary spikes from the base of the plant.
How do i cut flowers like snapdragons and foxgloves? Will they keep growing back?
GREAT FLOWERS!...Yes, they will keep blooming. Both my foxgloves and snapdragons flower from mid-spring to end of fall. (living in Ky.) They are both also very easy to cut/deadhead. All you have to do for deadheading is once the flowering stem has bloomed and the bottom 2/3 of the stalk has lost its flowers, cut the stem completely off at about 1/2" above the first set of leaves. Do the same for cut flowers, but do it at the beginning of the bloom time instead of the end. Both flowers will continue to grow new flower shoots from the sides....Enjoy!

Do snapdragons do better in pots and containers or just straight in the ground?
Snaps do well in pots or the ground, in the south where I live{Georgia} they are a perennial. We grow them in the fall, the same time we grow pansies, kale, cabbage, parsley and dusty miller. They hit there peak prettiness around march-may. Then they need dead heading[removal of old flower heads]. They probably can grow through the summer season up north where the summers aren't so long. If you grow anything in pots remember you will have to water more often than in the ground, but it may be easier for you to raise the in pots, be sure and fertilize them with a time release fert. or the liquid or powder you mix with water, 20-10-20 is ok for the summer. Read directions well. Happy planting!!!!!
Do snapdragons do better in pots and containers or just straight in the ground?
If you can overwinter plants in their growing positions Antirrhinums (Snapdragons) will grow into far larger, stronger,superior plants, than shop bought container plants. If you use them just for containers and then throw them away at seasons end, then treat them like any annual plant. If you want BIG plants, grow from seed planted at summers end.
Reply:They do well either way! I plant them in pots and put a few in my beds every winter and they do great until late May, when the temperatures real start getting up there.
Reply:It depends if you want them on a patio in a pot or in a garden. They will do well in either but in pots make sure that the soil can drain. There needs to be a hole in the bottom of the pot. Put some stones or broken clay pot pieces over the hole enough to keep the dirt from falling out but allowing water flow.

Can someone please help me? I'm a beginner gardener and I have a few questions:?
I'm new to gardening, but I have a about 12 flower beds with a couple here and there flower pots and other things. I really like gardening/growing flowers and plants, I have a few questions: Oh, and I live in zone 5, Ontario Canada.
1: After my potted fuschia's flowers fall off, there is this green stub, that turns into a burgandy berry type thing, can I plant it
somewhere else, and will it grow? And how?
2: I planted some Fireweed wildflowers in the bush. How much will they spread and when? They are invasive.
3: I bought some seed packets of Stocks, Larkspur, and Snapdragon, but they are all perannuals. When should I grow them next year? They are annual right? Thats what it says on the packet. And someone told me they wouldn't bloom at all.
4: I bought bulbs of Gladiolis, Lillies, and about 4 other flowers all coming up in mid to late summer. When should I plant them next spring.
5: What is are some good wildflower seeds I can buy, and what flowers are in it?
Thanks so much!

Toadflax/Snapdragons ~ Where to find these seeds?
Here in the Phoenix area, I havent been able to find any seeds. Im look'g for particular varieties that accord'g to my High Country Gardens magazine will grow here.
Any ideas where I could find them? Or does any1 have any to send me?
Toadflax/Snapdragons ~ Where to find these seeds?
I have to go to our hardware/garden store tomorrow to buy some dirt (I know -- it sounds dumb to buy dirt, but you know how it goes...). Anyway, I have seen toadflax and snapdragon seeds for sale there before. I'll check what's available and get back to you tomorrow by editing my answer. Then if you want 'em we can figure out how to get them to you. Going to write myself a reminder note now.
Bridget, I checked at our local Redwood Barn and Ace Hardware %26amp; Garden. They didn't have any Toadflax seed. They had two types of Snapdragon "blends", Magic Carpet and Tall Maximum packaged by Botanical Interests. Neither package said what types of snapdragons were in the blends. Let me know if you want me to send them and how many.

How about snapdragons for hummingbirds?
True snapdragons are not a great choice for attracting hummingbirds to your garden. While the colors are correct, the fused flower petals that form the bottom lip on the flower make it so a hummingbird cannot get its beak in. There is a type of snapdragon, usually refered to as a open-face snapdragon or a tall lobelia. These have plants and flowers that look just like a snapdragon except for having an open, tube-like flower. They are very hard to find -- the only place that I can think of that sells the seed for them is Thompson and Morgan.
(Note: these are NOT the tiny blue/purple/white lobelia that you can find at most greenhouses.)
If you are trying to attract hummingbirds, some great options are:
Agastache cana (Bubble Gum Mint), Agastache rupestris (Sunset Hyssop), Aquilegia (Columbine), Asclepias (Butterfly Weed), Ceratotheca triloba (African Foxglove), Cleome (Spider Flower-- there is a short, heirloom variety from Seed Savers that is AMAZING!!!), Cosmos 'Ladybird Scarlet', Digitalis (Foxglove), Heuchera sanguinea (Coral Bells), Hollyhock, Ipomoea (Morning Glory), Ipomopsis (Scarlet Gilia), Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker), Lychnis chalcedonica (Maltese Cross), Mirabilis jalapa (Four O'Clock), Monarda (Bee Balm),Nepeta (Catmint), Nicotiana langsdorfii (Flowering Tobacco), Oenothera 'Lemon Sunset' (Evening Primrose), Penstemon (Beardtongue), Perovskia atriplicifolia (Russian Sage), Salvia (Sage),Silene regia (Royal Catchfly), Scarlet Runner Bean (Phaseolus coccineus), Tithonia 'Torch' (Mexican Sunflower), Verbena (Vervain), Zinnia
How about snapdragons for hummingbirds?
Snapdragons are a good choice for hummingbirds. Get brightly colored blossoms, and you may have little buzzing visitors all summer long. Hummingbirds prefer reds, yellows, and bright pinks over pastel colors. Snapdragons need full sun, at least most of the day, and work in gardens or containers. You can even collect seeds and grow them next year for "free." To collect the seeds, carefully pick the ripened seed pods, which look like little hard vases, and dump out the tiny black seeds. Keep them dry until planting season and start them early. Best of luck!

Growing plants from seeds?
I would like to grow some snapdragons and among other seeds for my garden but don't have a clue on gardening.
Do I grow them in the garden or in a pot first??? If so how long will I need to keep them in the pot before transfering them over to my garden bed.
Growing plants from seeds?
I'd take the easy route.
#1 You need a good raised bed. Start with a (very) small plot with several bags of good soil mix (just dump 4+ inches on top of your plot and plant in there.
#2 Look at the seed packets for the correct planting time in your area. I'd get a few easy ones like Zinnias in case your Snapdragons don't make it. Be heartless and thin the plants when they get an inch or so tall.
#3 Water sparingly. Just to keep the soil somewhat moist. Usually every few days
#4 If you're successful, expand your plot next year with more seed varieties.
Reply:iI started a wild seed garden and all I had to do was put fresh potting soil wherever you want your garden. I bought boxes of Wild Garden Seeds and sprinkled them all through my soil and watered good. I had a beautiful garden from Spring to late fall and alot of them will come up this spring too.
Reply:its always best to start seeds in a small pot indoors in a sunny location. Keep the soil moist . the plants should be ready to go into your garden within a month or two. do a search about your seeds you are wanting to plant, usually 1 or 2 websites will give you enough info to get you started. heres one

Reply:I just plant the seeds in the ground early spring. Just work up the soil and plant to the depth recommended on the seed packet. Water as needed, it is not necessary to water every day. Keep the soil moist but not saturated and they will do fine.
