Retail florist in January, WHY?

isn't retail floristry in the uk depressing this time of the year. after the buzz of christmas, all you get are expencive wholesale flowers and few customers!. We dont even get any funeral orders as we are in a village that only gives money to charity (how selfish is that) I know valentines and mothers day is just around the corner, but then what till christmas again, a few weddings (when villagers are doing them half the price from home) some garden plants (when villagers are selling their own cuttings in their front gardens) and some mixed bunches ( when the fruit and veg and paper shop have cottened on and selling them at half price) what about silks? (the womens guild now sell them at stupid prices) When we started 3 years ago we were new and exciting, now every farmers wife and his 100 year mother are selling OUR ideas at a fraction of the price privatley. We are tied to the premisis for another 5 years and I love my job. (awarded the best in the county) what can I do to stay here

Retail florist in January, WHY?
All businesses such as yours will have competition from enthusiastic amateurs so you will have to start and think "outside of the box"


If you rely on your local community for support it looks like you might be in trouble. What about the following?


I presume you are interflora so can count on customers other than local?


Do you have a website where you can offer your services to a wider audience?


Can you do any local marketing yourself (ie flyers) in neighbouring villages or towns?


Can you widen your range of services to include (say) flower arranging courses?


Can you identify any large companies within close proximity of your shop who you may be able to interest with contract work - this could be very lucrative for you.


Is your shop big enough to section off so that you could sell something else in part of it?


What other needs do the village have which are currently unfulfilled by existing shops?





If you do nothing you will not survive in business


What do you think of my story No. 2?

Philip the bee returns after a busy day's work at the florist's shop. "Hi honey, I'm home", he says happily.


"I want a divource", shouts his hairy battleaxe of a wife in return.


"Darling, has something been bugging you" he implores, his blurred eyesight compounded by the welling tears.


"You just bumble your way in here trailing pollen across my clean floor; that's it, I'll see the Queen tomorrow", Beryl droned waspishly through gnashing mandibles.


And so poor Philip's marriage came to an end; when word got out it caused quite a buzz around the hive. But it got worse; he was so badly stung by the legal costs that he had to sell his home and go live with dear old Ant Doris.

What do you think of my story No. 2?
Hi silkie, x

What would you do if an employer took advantage of you?

I have worked for several florists and have a associates degree in floriculture. When I came to town, I got a job as a florist. I was new %26amp; they wouldn't listen to any of my background training, opting to use the advice of girls that "learned on the job".





I was given a chance to move to another shop in town. The entire group of girls quit that florist and moved along with me. The nice thing, was that here, I was given more respect %26amp; was often the first consulted on problems. I was the wedding %26amp; funeral specialist %26amp; the only one that could tie a pretty bow (not trying to brag...just being realistic).





Well, I had problems with one of the women who I have found out was a back stabber, %26amp; I let the employer know that i was going to quit if it didn't stop. She gave everyone all of the ____ work to do %26amp; sat around talking on the phone. Come to find out, she was a long time friend of the employer. I quit. Now they are talking badly about me. How can I save my reputation?

What would you do if an employer took advantage of you?
If you found on your own that this woman is a back stabber, then I'm sure everyone else knows her true nature. It's always best to leave people like that alone because they ultimately hang themselves in the end. They are the products of their own undoing and they always get their just penalty.





Do not concern yourself about what this kind of trash says about you. You have moved on. Eventually, the owner may come to realize that her business has suffered due to the loss of your expertise and hopefully will assign the blame where it belongs. Just remember one thing, many long lasting friendships have died due to money. Don't be surprised if the employer gives the longtime friend the boot.
Reply:nothing cuz i was in my own personal h*ll at the time
Reply:If they've done this to you, they've done it to other people. Just get a job somewhere else and don't worry about what they say. If you're asked what happened, be honest. I'm sure you're not the only one who knows that this employer plays favorites with her lazy friend.





The next time a situation like this comes up, however, think twice about quitting...I did the same thing last summer and regret leaving that job now because the employee who was causing me grief isn't there anymore.
Reply:two words: straight razor.


Home-based or retail shop?

I have a home-based florals business (i am the florist). Should i do retail to get more business? please give me your opinnion as a customer. Thanks

Home-based or retail shop?
If you get a lot of foot traffic, it is better to have a retail shop. But if most of your orders are coming via web (being part of syndicate), you do not need to spend money in renting a shop.





Another option is to expand your house (if possible) and that can be your retail shop, you will have one of the shortest commute.

This story will make you cry Red Roses were her favorite.?

Roses for Rose








Red roses were her favorites; her name was also Rose,


And every year her husband sent them tied with pretty bows.


The year he died the roses were delivered to her door,


The card said "Be My Valentine" like all the years before.





Each year he sent her roses and the note would always say,


"I love you even more this year than last year on this day,


My love for you will always grow with every passing year,"


She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear.





She thought he ordered roses in advance before this day,


Her loving husband did not know that he would pass away.


He always liked to do things early way before the time,


Then if he got too busy everything would work out fine.





She trimmed the stems and placed them in a very special vase,


Then sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face.


She would sit for hours in her husband's favorite chair,


While staring at his picture and the roses sitting there.





A year went by and it was hard to live without her mate,


With loneliness and solitude that had become her fate.


Then the very hour as on Valentines before,


The doorbell rang and there were roses sitting by her door.





She brought the roses in and then just looked at them in shock,


Then went to get the telephone to call the florist shop.


The owner answered and she asked him if he would explain,


Why would someone do this to her causing her such pain?





"I know your husband passed away more than a year ago,"


The owner said, "I knew you'd call and you would want to know."


"The flowers you received today were paid for in advance,


Your husband always planned ahead he left nothing to chance."





"There is a standing order that I have on file down here,


And he has paid well in advance you'll get them every year."


"There also is another thing that I think you should know,


He wrote a special little card he did this years ago."





"Then should ever I find out that he's no longer here,


That's the card that should be sent to you the following year."


She thanked him and hung up the phone her tears now flowing hard,


Her fingers shaking as she slowly reached to get the card.





Inside the card she saw that he had written her a note,


Then as she stared in total silence this is what he wrote.


Hello my love I know it's been a year since I've been gone,


I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome.





I know it must be lonely and the pain is very real,


For if it was the other way I know how I would feel.


The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life,


I loved you more than words can say you were the perfect wife.





You were my friend and lover you fulfilled my every need,


I know it's only been a year but please try not to grieve.


I want you to be happy even when you shed your tears,


That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.





When you get these roses think of all the happiness,


That we had together and how both of us were blessed.


I have always loved you and I know I always will,


But my love you must go on you have some living still.





Please try to find happiness while living out your days,


I know it is not easy but I hope you find some ways.


The roses will come every year and they will only stop,


When your door's not answered when the florist stops to knock.





He will come five times that day in case you have gone out,


But after his last visit he will know without a doubt,


To take the roses to the place where I've instructed him,


And place the roses where we are together once again.

This story will make you cry Red Roses were her favorite.?

What do you think of Saudi Arabia banning the color red?

Saudi Arabia has asked florists and gift shops to remove all red items until after Valentine's Day, calling the celebration of such a holiday a sin, local media reported Monday.





http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/1...

What do you think of Saudi Arabia banning the color red?
we had a very interesting question just on that today..!! i think its nuts and so unfair on the women...they should feel alittle pampered tooo for once....i dont think celebrating valentines would take or add to anyones culture or religion..its just a day to love and be loved...whats so wrong about that!!





http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Reply:The average Saudi Arabian has no say what so ever in their own country . They are too scared to do anything to get rid of the ruling Royal family . So they conform told when,where and what to do in their daily lives.How humiliating and boring life must be .
Reply:I think that this is not of your business.


Let me ask you a question


We have a holiday called "Aladha". In this holiday we usually bring sheep to our yards and slaughter the sheep.


Will Americans accept this?


NO!!


This is a cultural difference.





We don't celebrate Valentines day..
Reply:Honestly, I do not waste a thought of it. Valentine's day is an American thing. If Americans need a special day to show their love to somebody, well.................





I much more apreciate it if my husband shows his love to me every day.





Btw: in the West it is comon that boy- and girl friends exchange cards, flowers and gifts. These kind of relationships you will not find in a strict Islamic country. What is the purpose for intertrucing it?





If you would be a cosmopilitian person, you also would recognize that "Valentine" is also critizied in India (not by Muslims). Why did you pick KSA?





Salam.





edit oh, honey: since when Valentine's is a Christian holiday???????????


Bein an Expat working in KSA, are you not getting Islamic holidays off without being a Muslim?
Reply:yes, I actually asked a question about that myself this morning. it's so sad!
Reply:a little over board.


banning a colour,


ban the holiday not a colour,


and what about pink, shouldn't that be banned too,


and little stuffed bears and other animals, and candy and other such stuff.


the holiday itself should be what's banned not one colour assosiated with it. (not that i agree with the banning, but understand why)





i didn't get to read the artical, for what ever reason i couldn't get the site to come up, i really think it is just me, the computer i am using is weird.
Reply:I think it is a ridiculous waste of time and attention. The more they try to control people the more people will obsess on the forbidden.





It is a sad state of affairs. There are starving kids , health problems and all sorts of important issues and they focus on the moral effects of the color red.
Reply:When in Rome,


do as the Romans.





The same applies here.
Reply:Banning red is only until after Valentine's Day. It is to encourage Muslims everywhere to not participate in a pagan holiday.


~~


This is from a blog by Alan Stewart Carl, but it is a clip from a CNN report.





It’s an attempt to squash Valentine’s day celebrations. Sheikh Khaled Al-Dossari, a scholar in Islamic studies, told the Saudi Gazette, an English-language newspaper:





"As Muslims we shouldn't celebrate a non-Muslim celebration, especially this one that encourages immoral relations between unmarried men and women, ".





And don’t forget it encourages the consuming of nasty little candy hearts and stale chocolate. And flora-cide –- Valentine’s day is the leading cause of flower murder in the world. I don’t know why we all don’t ban it. In fact, I know a lot of American men who would be just fine with such a regulation.


~~~~


I think -- no big deal.
Reply:it is normal for a conservative islamic country not to allow celebrating a christian holy day.it is sad for the foreigners and also for the saudi women ,who just open their eyes and seen the western life,and they like it.......


the saudi shouldn't complain.they got use to it.as i said,is normal


banning all things red coloured,doesn't make a big difference,actually.ppl who are in love or,just like someone,will find a solution...other colour!the favorite,one!


btw :h ...i am not an expatriate.i don't care much about holydays.but i agree with the customs in saudi.i don't complain as a foreigner

But after his last visit,


he will know without a doubt!


To take the roses to the place,


where I've instructed him

Sometimes in life, you find a special one...;


Someone who changes your life


just by being part of it.


Someone who makes you laugh


until you can't stop;


Someone who makes you believe


that there really is good in the world.


Someone who convinces you


that there really is an unlocked door


just waiting for 'you' to open it.

Simple Interest PLEASE:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Jennifer Kerber borrows $10,450 from her bank to open a florist shop. She agrees to repay the money in 18 months with simple interest of 10.4%





(a) How much must she pay the bank in 18 months?





(b) How much of the amount in part (a) is interest?.

Simple Interest PLEASE:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
She'll pay $629.52 a month, times 18 months, so that's $11,331.36 of which $881.36 is interest.... I think!!

Do you Love Flowers? Especially Roses? You'll enjoy this!?

This woman and her husband have this really bad fight. He goes off to work the next day without talking to her, but she doesn't care.





She's busy doing her thing around the house. All of the sudden, around 1:00 in the afternoon, the doorbell rings. She goes to the door and opens it and there is a young delivery guy from the local florist shop with an enormous, beautiful bouquet of long-stemmed red roses...the expensive ones...from her husband.





She says to the delivery guy with disgust, "Oh CRAP!"





The delivery guy says, "What's a matter lady? You don't like roses?"





She replies, "Yeah, I like roses, but do you know what this means?"





He says, "No, Lady, what does this mean?"





She answers, "It means for the next two weeks I'll be laying on my back with my legs in the air."





He replies, "Geez, Lady, don't you have a vase?"

A 21st Century Marriage?

I stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up roses for my wife. As the clerk was putting the finishing touches on the bouquet, a young man burst through the door, breathlessly requesting a dozen red roses.





"I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just ordered our last bunch." The desperate customer turned to me and begged, "May I please have those roses?"





"What happened?" I asked. "Did you forget your wedding anniversary?"





"It's even worse than that," he confided. "I crashed my wife's hard drive!"

What is the flower process?

I need to know the steps taken from planting flowers in a flower farm, to shipping them off to a florist, flower prep, and setting them out to be bought in the shop.

What is the flower process?
Okay Angel, trot on down to the book store and cruise through the horticulture section. Maybe the library is a good idea too. Look up floriculture on the web. All the steps are there for you. Cheers

Which of these is funny?

Before I post...someone I blocked on here because he stated where is the ******* question you *******, contacted Yahoo. so Yahoo deleted 2 of my questions saying that they were not questions....so I may start each "Question" with a "Question"...





Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to


Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed


behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much.


The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser


of two weevils.





A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West


He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking


for the man who shot my paw."





Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his


dentist's Novocain during root canal work? He wanted


to transcend dental medication.





A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel


and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent


tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager


came out of the office and asked them to disperse.


"But why?" they asked, as they moved off.


"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting


in an open foyer."





There was a man who entered a local paper's pun


contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope


that at least one of the puns would win.


Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.





A woman had twins, and gave them up for adoption.


One of them went to a family in Egypt and was named


"Amal." The other went to a family in Spain, and they


named him "Juan." Years later, Juan sent a picture


of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she


told her husband that she wished she also had a


picture of Amal. Her husband responded, "But they are


twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."





And the worst of the bunch:





These friars were behind on their belfry


payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to


raise the money. Everyone liked to buy flowers from


the men of God, but the rival florist across town


thought the competition was unfair. He asked the


good fathers to close down, but they would not. He


went back and begged the friars to close. They


ignored him. He asked his mother to go and ask the


friars to get out of business. They ignored her too.


So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the


roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade"


them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed


their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close


their shop. Terrified, they did so - thereby proving


(are you ready for this?!)


that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the


older priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest hears a


couple of confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the


confessional for a few suggestions.





The old priest suggests, "Cross you arms over your chest, and rub


your chin with one hand." The new priest tries this. The old priest


suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see, yes, go on', and


"I understand. How did you feel about that?"





The new priest says those things. The old priest says, "Now,

He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

ANYONE WHO CAN HELp????????????????????

hi there! i have a small florist shop and i wish to do some marketting for my special wedding floral arrangements as well as all occasion bouquets of fresh and dried flowers ...my budget is low . can anyone guide me so as to how do i go about it??

ANYONE WHO CAN HELp????????????????????
First of all, you have to have pictures. Customers want to see what kind of work that your shop is capable of doing.





Only emphasize the best of the best that you have. Our shop used a digital camera and printer to create a brochure for new brides. We then placed an ad in our local traders guide, newspaper, and radio station asking the bride to stop by the shop for a complimentary rose. We gave them the brochure and were able to have some 1 on 1 time with them.





We also gave brides who participated in this way, a 5% discount on their wedding.





Word of mouth is by far the best way to get wedding work....so do more than you are asked to do, price your wedding competitively and you will be busier than you ever thought might be possible.
Reply:take pictures of your arrangements, and have them blown up for displays in your windows, or for flyers to give each customer when visiting your shop, or make them binder size and [with plastic sheet protectors] for customers to look at for ideas...the more pictures the better. [ a good way to set up for picture to be taken is to use a black velvet clothe or another color will be nice.
Reply:The best way on a budget is to join your Chamber of Commerce. In most cases, your membership gives you a monthly ad in the news letters/ catalogs they send out. You can also print flyer's from your PC, you can save in the long run doing them yourself. Save your old ink cartridges, take them to Office Max and get free paper for doing so, and make more flyer's. You can also get ink cartridges on E-bay really really cheap.... Best of Luck....
Reply:Vistaprint.com is a great place to get some low cost brochures or flyers made up. They have templates but you can upload your own photos of your arrangements. You can distribute those yourself or have them put into the local newspaper. Do you have a website?


Web hosting?

hello there,





I am building an online florist shop and looking for a free or very cheap web hosting company to use, any ideas?





thank you

Web hosting?
All the good ones aren't free.


Mr Site is a good place, you get a load of email inboxes and the ability to have a shop/paypal mechanism for £35 a year.





The Mr. Site website: http://www.mrsite.com/





An example of a site made with Mr. Site: http://www.noe-version-2.co.uk/
Reply:If you are building a business site it helps to have someone that can host it and help with development too. And if you really want your bandwith to be reliable you shouldn't go with a free service that can get cut off for no reason.





I switched to ITS Hosting about 6 months ago and have been very happy with them. They are also great about calling them for questions and development help.
Reply:Free sites are not professional and will take away from the image you are creating.


I have used different hosting packages and I always would say pick one that has good customer service especially if your like me and not have great internet knowledge.


I recommend www.oneandone.co.uk or www.hostgator.com


Both of these great customer services with oneandone great for telephone service
Reply:Finding a good internet web hosting service provider could mean success or failure to your online business.


Picking the web hosting provider. Most important is that your provider has a good support system in place, if you need it or have any problems. If you are just starting off make sure that there is at least a 30 money back guarantee. You should have access to an online help area with commonly asked questions and videos. You should also be able to open a ticket for help in this area.





Does the hosting provider gives you access to a control panel? Cheap website hosting doesn't always give you access to the guts of your website. This is the place where you are in control of everything.





Since 1999 I've had several websites online and have paid between $5 a month to $30 searching for the best deal possible for my money. I even traded a domain name for a year of web site hosting, that didn't work out either. The problem with that web host provider was I only had 1 email address and no front page extensions. I have used Host 4 Profit and Third Sphere which are good hosting companies but a bit to pricey. Both were about $25 a month. I have tried Yahoo hosting and that did not give me the freedom and versatility I was looking for, for about $19 a month.





Free is not always free, So be careful which hosting provider you choose
Reply:To start a internet biz,your cant just simple use any webhosting services that cheap or free.Because cheap and free webhosting will be provide good services to u.I have experience before with using cheap hosting.Their provide really suck hosting services(mesrahosting.net).I have experience 2 days with email server down.I unable to receive email at 2 days.I lost a lot of order or profit.If your start biz,be serious and prepare.U may can save few dollar or hundred dollor but your will loss more value or money at future.The important thing at webhosting is support.Can a free webhosting provide good support to u while their dont earn any profit from u?The answer is no.I recomemded your using webhosting company that i used for one years.Their provide affordable price and good support.It is only USD$95 per years with 2 free domain name(support 8 domains) and 500gb space storage.For more detail,please go following link.





http://www.joininternet.com/product.php?...
Reply:Good ones are not Free, although there are some good ones that are cheap. Give www.webhostedcheap.com a try! Plans start at only $4/month and all plans come with free domain registrations, and free bonuses including scripts and a lot more. I've nevered had an issue. :) good luck
Reply:I use aplus.net, it's not expensive at all. For a business plan, I paid less than $100/yr. Their customer service is 24/7, online and on the phone. Plus, you can create your own website for free. I'm not very computer savvy but I was able to make my own website because their "do it yourself" feature is very easy to maneuver.





Do not go with the cheapest one out there either, usually, when you require customer service, you have to wait forever. I used startlogic the first time, trying to save a couple of bucks and boy, it wasn't worth it. I waited 2 hours (no kidding) for a customer service person to talk to me online. I cancelled the same day.





Stay away from free sites if you want your website to look professional.
Reply:Hi,


I would recommend IX webhosting.It's very cheap and very reliable.Check it out here:


http://top50webhosting.ez-mart.biz/
Reply:I recommend checking out Bluehost. They have one of the best services I've found out there with great customer support: http://www.bluehost.com/track/bretsallee...
Reply:try http://www.megadealhosting.com they are a small company that I use for my web hosting. Their overall service especially their support is fantastic and they had me up and running in a matter of minutes. they also gave me free web hosting software to design my site and some free templates too.





I had a problem which i caused myself and they sorted it our free of charge within 30 minutes.. hows that!!


And most of all I pay just 99p per month. (even cheaper if you pay yearly).





But the best thing is they talk to you in plain english. They are great... and no i don't work for them LOL





They really will help you.
Reply:Is not a easy job to find the right web host.Try http://searchhosts.net and you will find all the top web hosting deals with ratings on one website and all so free advertising credit to promote your business.
Reply:If this is for a professional business stay away from free hosting. What if they decide to fold, then you have no website and your business suffers. Web hosting can be as little as $4 a month. Take a look at http://www.whackahost.com they have lots of web hosting reviews and will answer any questions you have on a one to one basis and point you to a host that will fit your needs.





Hope this helps
Reply:When i was looking for a free website, you should type in free websites within your search engine. And when you look for a cheap website. You should type in cheap websites within your search engine. Then do your homework on websites. By reading word for word what their site is all about. From doing your research by making sure that they are 100% real by having want you want. Without any unexpected nasty surprises from either of them.





Good luck

After about an hour,the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

"What did you do that for?" Asked a passing giraffe.





"Because I recognized it as the same turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years ago."





"Wow, what a memory" commented the giraffe.





"Yes," said the elephant, "turtle recall".

The French will eat almost anything. A young cook decided that the French would enjoy feasting on rabbits and decided to raise rabbits in Paris and sell them to the finer restaurants in the city. He searched all over Paris seeking a suitable place to raise his rabbits. None could be found. Finally, an old priest at the cathedral said he could have a small area behind the rectory for his rabbits. He successfully raised a number of them, and when he went about Paris selling them, a restaurant owner asked him where he got such fresh rabbits. The young man replied, "I raise them myself, near the cathedral. In fact, I have ... a hutch back of Notre Dame.

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre. However, after planning the crime, getting in and out past security, he was captured only 2 blocks away when his Econoline ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied: "I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."

Needless to say, she was disappointed and started to cry. The clerk, trying to console her, said,

Help my lemon tree is dying (I think) :(?

About 2 weeks ago I brought a lemon tree. It looked quite happy in the shop and the florist wrote down a lot of instructions because I was pannicking about looking after such a cute plant. I water it every 4 days like she said and sparay it as well but leave have started to drop of and now I am pannicking.





Please someone help me save my plant!!!





Oh yeah I'm in the uk so it'#s a bit nippy over here but I've always kept him in doors

Help my lemon tree is dying (I think) :(?
Lemon trees are outdoor plants, and needs full sunlight. i think water once every few days ONLY when it's hot (like summer) %26amp; bearing fruits. otherwise water only when the soil feels dry (once a week or longer if the weather is cool/rainy). too much water will kill it, bacause the water will cause the roots to rot. and since your plant is indoors, I assume you either have a saucer below or your pot does not have drainage holes. It is probably collecting unwanted water on the bottom of the pot (if there are no drainage holes). Keep the tree protected from frost in the winter. When the roots rot, there's not much you can do to save it. what you can do is to dry out the soil immediately (or change the soil completely) and hope that the roots aren't too damaged and rejuvenate.
Reply:It needs sun. I have a lemon tree that's dying cuz of that.
Reply:lemon trees dont like to much dry heat try putting a dish of water


under the plant as this helps the humidity also buy a drip feeder theses cost about £2.00 and last for 6-8 weeks i know that most garden centres stock them .hope this helps .
Reply:most of the plant purchaced in stores are greenhouse grown and usually forced to grow at times they otherwise would not. If you are following the intructions given--ie watering, fertilizing, light exposure etc, the tree will be fine. the leaves normally fall off when the temps fall. no need to panic it will produce again in the spring and be just as happy as it was...its just sleeping...;-)
Reply:well its almost winter (or if you go by months then its already winter) so that might be it. we have a lemon tree that was fairly ill looking for a long time so I dont think they die very easily

Reply:Excessive watering of citrus will kill it. STOP WATERING IT SO MUCH.


Water it like rain, occasionally. Once every week or ten days take it outside and soak it down with a spray, make sure the pot drains thoroughly then bring it back inside. If it doesn't drain thoroughly it will get root rot. Dropping leaves is a sign it is sick.





The reason they grow so well in Florida is that they grow in sand. So they drain quickly.





Have you checked to see if the pot has a drain hole and it will need to be in a saucer.





Truthfully citrus are outside trees. They can be cultivated to seem like house plants but they really aren't. Keep it in for the winter then outside in the spring. I would keep it near the window and rotate it every day to get as much sun as possible.





I just Googled "Growing Lemon Trees as a House Plant". It says water when dry.





Good Luck.
Reply:We've tried a few in our conservatory ( heated as per the house ) and had no luck, they jsut fade away after a few weeks/months.





Don't see the point anymore.
Reply:Do not water so often this time of year. The soil only needs to be a little moor than damp.You will loose leaves this time of year esspecially if its cold and or drafty where you keep the plant.Do not on the other hand put it in a baking hot room as this will dry the plant out and kill it.


Does every rose really have a thorn?

Because the ones at the florist shop down the street don't...








wtf.

Does every rose really have a thorn?
Hi:





Yes and no I will say.





Every rose does have a thorn, yes I'm sorry to say but it is true. But it is all in the handling of that rose that is important. If you carefully place your fingers between the thorns, raise the fower up gently to smell is fragrance you will smell it's sweet smell but also notice the soft silky rose petals.





The beauty you see and smell of it's fragrance from this delicate yet extremely strong flower will make you believe that it is so delicate that it will never have thorns.





A Rose





A thing of delicate white.


Or deep crimson, almost dark as night.





The softest touch of a petal there.


Or sharp prick of the thorn lay bare.





Except for you, a more beautiful thing I'll never see.


This rose for you from me.

Is my sense of humor warped???

A group of friars opened a florist shop to help with their belfry payments. Everyone liked to buy flowers from the Men of God, so their business flourished. A rival florist became upset that his business was suffering because people felt compelled to buy from the Friars, so he asked the Friars to cut back hours or close down. The Friars refused. The florist went to them and begged that they shut down. Again they refused. So the florist then hired Hugh McTaggert, the biggest meanest thug in town. He went to the Friars' shop, beat them up, destroyed their flowers, trashed their sho p, and said that if they didn't close, he'd be back. Well, totally terrified, the Friars closed up shop and hid in their rooms. This proved that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

Where to advertise?

Hello there,





I have just started an online business( florist shop) but want to give it some exposure ,can somebody advise me where is a good place to advertise on the internet to get noticed ,open to all ideas.





thank you

Where to advertise?
try these '10 low cost ways to promote your website' http://www.newbiztips.net/marketingideas...


good luck with your business!

Reply:The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is


to first set up a website and publish its domain name


on major search directories such as Google.com,


Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and


MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these


search directories to provide them with goods and


services. In a sense, these search directories are a


very large Internet Yellow Pages.





Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage


fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using


such "generic" queries will not be able to discover


your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,


in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.





You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,


when observed and committed in designing of a website


with placement of various critical metatags that can


surely achieve a high search engine presence and


increase Internet traffic to your website. These


metatag strategies work well with published webpages


at Google and Yahoo.





Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based


website, make sure to fill-in the property entries


such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing


to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can


be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the


Internet audience and their incoming setup. For


example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages


take too long to load up and therefore analog users


will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the


Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL


lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So


before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple


question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or


DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users


for maximum marketability, then select analog users


since 80% of most resident users are still analog


Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages


is best for them.





A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,


is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit


the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a


graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.





Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots


are unable to properly classify textual material.





Placement of Metatags:





A ranking or search order does take place with Google


and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which


should consist of no more than 65 characters separated


by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic


terms, the goods and services, followed by a location


from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.


The placement of a domain name which is not generic


within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your


domain name is a major recognizable brand name.





The second metatag is the "Description" which is


usually 41 words to form a complete sentence which


best describes one's goods and services.





And the very last category - "Keywords" are also


somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural


and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries


which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which


is defined as the loading, and submission of


repetitive words into a particular metatag category.


"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported


to Google's spamreport.com can result in the


elimination of your website from their search


directory.





Good luck!

Find all real solutions?

Simple Interest, Jennifer borrows $10,450 from her bank to open a florist shop. She agrees to repay the money in 18 months with simple interest of 10.4%. How much will she pay the bank in 18 months? How much of the amount she pays is interest??

Find all real solutions?
18 months = 1.5 years


$10,450 x 1.5 x 10.4% = $1,630.20 (Interest)


$10,450 + $1,630.20 = $12,080.20 (P + I)





Good luck!

Have you heard this story RED ROSES WHERE HER FAVORITE?

Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose.





And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows.





The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door.





The card said, "Be my Valentine", like all the years before.





Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say,





"I love you even more this year, than last year on this day.





My love for you will always grow, with every passing year."





She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear.





She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day.





Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away.





He always liked to do things early, way before the time.





Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine.





She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase.





Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face.





She would sit for hours, in her husband's favorite chair.





While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there.





A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate.





With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate.





Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before,





The doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door.





She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock.





Then, went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop.=20





The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain,=20





Why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain?





"I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago,"





The owner said, "I knew you'd call, and you would want to know.





The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance.





Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.





There is a standing order, that I have on file down here,





And he has paid, well in advance, you'll get them every year.





There also is another thing, that I think you should know,





He wrote a special little card...he did this years ago.





Then, should ever I find out that he's no longer here,





That's the card...that should be sent, to you the following year."





She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard.





Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card.





Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note.





Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote...





"Hello my love, I know it's been a year since I've been gone,





I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome.





I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real.





For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel.





The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life.





I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife.





You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need.





I know it's only been a year, but please try not to grieve.





I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears.





That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.





When you get these roses, think of all the happiness,





That we had together, and how both of us were blessed.





I have always loved you and I know I always will.





But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still.





Please...try to find happiness, while living out your days.





I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways.





The roses will come every year, and they will only stop,





When your door's not answered, when the florist stops to knock.





He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out.





But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt,





To take the roses to the place, where I've instructed him,





And place the roses where we are, together once again.





Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;





Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.





Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;





Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.





Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.





This is Forever Friendship.
