Isis asked:


I go to a very small and poorly funded charter school, and we want to sell flowers on valentines day to help raise money for a school prom or social. I have heard of people getting free flowers from floral shops when they toss the flowers that never sold. Do they still do that and how I would I go about getting donated flowers from floral shops?

Truthseeker asked:


I am aware that flowers are a natural way to attract honey bees to the flower so as to provide the bee with nectar and also help the plant disperse pollen through the bee.Hence the bright coloring of the flower.However the absence of the black coloration amongst flowers was brought to my notice by a friend.I wish to know if there is a biological mechanism whereby a plant avoids production of black pigment.

I was looking for plastic flowers to put outside around a little girls playhouse but can’t find any. I need to find a cheap way to waterproof cloth flowers from rain and hopefully UV rays to make her playhouse special.
