they must be pretty rare if you have to buy them wild. try googling 'wild columbine flowers'.
Where can i buy wild columbine flowers?
Here in Minnesota this native plant's Latin name is Aquilegia Canadensis......it is a perennial here. You could go online and type in Native Plant Greenhouses (for you area). You should be able to find them that way. Any place could send them to you if it's to far for you to drive.
Reply:Try looking for" Aquilegia caerulea" right now you can probably find seeds on line.. later try your garden center.. they are native to the rocky mnts
Reply:Wait til spring, and you can get the plants or the seeds at your local Wal-Mart or Landscapers. They say they are perennial, but here in Ohio, they are annual.

Can I cook (tempura/fry) the flowers of the wild pumpkin vine?
Go nuts, the wild vine flowers are edible. Are they big enough to stuff?
You can also rough chop them and stir fry them with hot peppers and garlic to make a quesadilla.
Can I cook (tempura/fry) the flowers of the wild pumpkin vine?
yes you can in abundant very hot oil for only a few seconds.
Reply:Italians fry the flowers from Zucchini, and they look similar, so I don't no why not.It only matters if you like the taste.

Where can I find wild flower seeds cheap?
I have a 2 acre lot in northern aroostook county maine (near canada) and would like to seed the whole parcel with wild flowers native to the area. The summers are short with long cold winters dipping well below zero. I have checked around and the cost for the seeds would run from $400.00 to $800.00 for 4 to 8 pounds. This is a bit pricey for my budget. Please help.
Where can I find wild flower seeds cheap?
i
don't know if there is a dollar store in your area but dollar stores offer one box that contain-es some hundred different kind of seeds I'm not good at math but remember alot of plants will reseed themselves therefore giving you the opportunity to spread the seeds where you want to make a beautiful display
Reply:You could do what I do, which is when it turns cooler the flowers will start to shed their seeds for the next season. Than go around to a field and pick up the seeds. There usually in the flower pods attached to the plant. Than the next spring when its raining go out and spread the seeds around.
Reply:This solution is free, but time-consuming. Take a walk in the woods or an open area. Note which wildflowers you like and their location. Come back in autumn when they've all gone to seed and collect the seed pods. Let them dry out over the winter and open them up for the seeds.

How do you cross pollinate flowers in Animal Crossing: Wild World?
I'm only one bug away from the Golden Net, and it's the Peacock Butterfly. However, I don't know how to cross pollinate flowers, so I can't get any Blue, Black, or Purple flowers. If you could be detailed, that would be great. Thanks!
How do you cross pollinate flowers in Animal Crossing: Wild World?
The best method for getting the hybrids is to plant the flowers arranged in a diamond pattern on the ground.
There is a nice hybrid guide here: http://www.animalxing.com/hybrids.php . It tells you which flowers to plant next to each other to get the different colors.

I was out taking pictures today of wild flowers and saw a very unique looking one. It looked like a fire works in the sky. Shaped like a ball, lavender in color with tiny little yellow tips on the end of the petels, there not really petels, more like spike things. There very cool!
Thanks for any help in advance.

Try a google;

Some are protected because they're rare. When you pick them you stop the flowers developing into seedpods, so damage their chances of breeding. Don't do it.

Reply:Some flowers are protected so be careful. Get advice before going picking. Bluebells are protected but daisies are not. Sorry, cannot give a complete list but to be safe leave them all where they are - they will last longer anyway.
Reply:Some species are protected
Most land is owned by someone, isn't it ?
Reply:Some species are protected, e/g Blue Bells.
Reply:It depends on the species. You may pick dandelions, but not orchids, for example. A recent wildflower book from any good bookshop will give you advice, but you could also try contacting the Environment Agency (google it) via email and they should be able to provide you with a list. Then match the flowers on the list to the one in the wildflower guide book!
Generally it is 'frowned upon': when you pick wildflowers it means others can't enjoy them, endangered/rare species are threatened and the macrocosm of flora and fauna in th locality is in-balanced. Why not take pictures instead? Then you can share them with every one. :)

If the species is protected, then it would be illegal to pick them. If not, then yes you can pick them. But what if everyone decided to pick even just a few wild flowers?
Best wishes, J
Reply:Sure, just don't get caught.
Reply:Yes as long as you are keeping them for your own personal use and are not selling them. You cannot, however, pick the whole plant, that would be classed as theft. The flowers must be genuinely wild (not planted for a commemorative purpose etc) you must exercise caution if you are going to pick wild flowers as you do not want to inadvertently commit an offence.
The same applies for picking wild mushrooms.
Reply:Yes I think it is illegal. For a start somebody owns every bit of land and so they own the flowers and you would be "stealing". Also some species of flowers are protected because they are rare, but I think now all are protected to protect the environment for other people, if 100s of people go to a site and pick one flower each that is 100s of flowers. Having said all that I don't think there is any chance you would get prosecuted for picking common things like Dandylions to make wine!!!!

Will wild passion flowers effect my cultivated variety "purple passion" plants.....?
There is a vine called a Purple Passion Vine, which isn't a passion vine at all. This won't be affected.
There is a passiflora called the maypop, that often grows wild in the SE of the US of A and this is often called 'Purple Passion Vine'. It really isn't all that different from any wild vine, even if you have a fancy variety of it, so having other maypops around will help yours set fruit.
If your passiflora is just a hybridized variety called 'purple passion', it probably doesn't set anything edible, so wild vines won't hurt.
Wild passion vines don't get sprayed, so they will be a source for caterpillars that might come and eat at your vines. If your vines are small and young, you will probably want to BT them. If your vines are mature, they can probably withstand some eating-on and if you leave the caterpillars be you will get lovely butterflies in addition to your blooms.
Will wild passion flowers effect my cultivated variety "purple passion" plants.....?
Only if you allow them to fruit, then there is a chance they will bother them. If you are just after flowers then there shouldn't be any issues.

There in a vase with cold water. Also if i cut my light on will they be able to do photosynthesis.
If i picked some flowers from a wild tree in my yard and put them in a vase. Will they live?
No. You cut them. They're dead
Reply:they will live for a decent amount of time, probably as long as any bouqet. however, flowers tend to live longer when placed in warm (not hot!) water as opposed to cold. if you do have a flourescent/grow light the flowers will stay fully open, whereas if you put them someplace dark they tend to close. If you want your flowers to live longer I suggest dissolving plant food, or some sugar in the water of the vase.

Seen flowers in Algarve. Flowerhead is 2 colours flowers. What is this plant. Not wild flower I don't think
It is a flower about 1 inch round. One flower head was pink and yellow. Can't remember the other one. Don't think they were wild flowers. I saw them quite a lot and loved them and would like to grow them back in the UK if I can. I hope someone can tell me what they are. I know it isn't easy without a picture. Thanks Sharon

If it has thorns on its stem then it must be Euphorbia.
This plant has a flower with different colours. It can have even three tones.

Would hybrid flowers ever survive on their own in the wild?
I've often wondered if hybrid species of flowers have ever or can possibly survive in the wild, unassisted, on their own no human intervention?
If so, what flowers do this?
Would hybrid flowers ever survive on their own in the wild?
Hi greenheatherbutterfly.
Some flower hybrids may survive in the wild, but on the whole this is unlikely.
Hybrid flowers are commonly a cross between two flowers of the same species, but with different characteristics, in order produce a plant with the desirable qualities from both parents. For instance a wild vigorous plant with poor flowers may be crossed with a plant from the same family that has showier flowers but lax growth, the desired result is a strong vigorous plant with better flowers.
What usually happens when these flowers reproduce in the wild is that they revert to the more genetically dominant parent, usually the wild flower parent.
Here's a link that should help a lot:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid#Hybr...
A good example of this is perhaps the Leylandii that we all love or loathe. Leyland cypress is a cross, but I have never seen a Leylandii growing from seed in the wild. Although it is a very successful hybrid it isn't very good a reproducing.
I hope there are some geneticists out there that can help further, but hope that helps a bit to answer your question.
Reply:the hybrid will eventually over a number of seasons return to its original non hybrid form. if you want to observe this plant some coxcombs and over the years you can watch the change.
Reply:No they do not propagate easily. In fact I have never been ble to take any cuttings from them.
Reply:In general, hybrids can have more difficulties in surviving than already-established species. But the characteristics of the species have the biggest effect on hybrid success. For example, in places where there are many orchids (not even of the same species or even of the same genus), hybrids are present. The practicality of the standard definition of species is somewhat weak among the orchids, for some reason. This is an extreme of hybrid vigour. But the common apple hybrids, for example (which produce some kind of fruit that we like a lot — e.g. Macintosh apples), cannot even be reproduced on purpose. The particular tree MUST be cut up into segments and spliced to the roots of apple saplings to grow another tree that has those apples on it which we want. In this case, the species concept is so real and verifiable that hybridization only works within the apple species.
There are some well-known wild hybrid species which show their past hybrid background by their genetic makeup in the present. I've listed a couple in my references - do a search using "natural wild hybrid plant" to find more.
Reply:There are many natural hybrids that do survive, or even do better than the species that they are derived from - eg. in the uk there are 2 bluebell species, but a hybrid of the 2 is out competing them and the others are becoming rare. But most cultivated species wouldn't survive in the wild, hybrid or not - they are bread for fast growth and high/quality yield, which means that they are week in other areas like the qualities that they need to survive in the wild.
Reply:yes they would, as there are hybrids that occour naturally in nature.
Reply:i think hybrid varieties are having less acclimatisation for wild living cos extra supplementary are provided for it even thought it is genetically modified its worst in wild life
SO cutes are not tolerable in wild cos the original Will take over them
Reply:Artificial F1 hybrids don't propagate themselves, they have to be crossed from two separate populations each time and it needs to be done by hand.
Other plants can hybridise if they are closely enough related and often do so in the wild.
If so, what flowers do this?

I've picked some wild flowers, are there any do's and don't's to replanting them in my own yard ?
If you picked them rather than digging up the plant including the roots, you can't replant them. If you dug up the plants, you need to know what sort of care treatment they like. Sun, shade, wet, dry, etc. Without knowing which ones they are, I can't look them up for you, though. Other than that, all I can advise you is to plant them the same depth they were when they were growing in the wild.
I've picked some wild flowers, are there any do's and don't's to replanting them in my own yard ?
Well, first of all I hope it was legal to gather the plants. Here it is not.
To replant, your soil must be the same as where the wildflowers were growing. Most are very particular about soil, drainage, sun exposure, and water.
Also I hope you got enough root. If they are perennials, the root system is quite extensive. Annuals...you are better off collecting the seed and sowing in your garden.
Don't transplant during excessive heat, better in cooler times of the year. Keep watered for the first year until they adjust to your garden conditions.
Reply:If you picked them you aren't going to be able to replant them. To replant a plant, you need to dig up it's roots along with the plant.
For wild flowers, you might want to make sure that the conditions in your yard are very similar to the conditions where you found the plants to get a better chance of a successful transplant.
A word of caution: some wild plants are actually illegal to pick or move.
Reply:The major don't is that it is illegal to steal plants from land that you don't own, so I hope that you took the flowers from your own land or asked the owner for permission. Land that you do not own includes roadsides, public parks and farmer's fields as well as private woodlots and gardens.
If you picked the flowers instead of digging the whole plant, the only way to get them in your yard is to check if any of the flowers had gone to seed and plant the seeds.
If you did legally dig the plants including a good portion of roots, then put them into pots filled with container soil while you do the next steps. First step is to identify the plants. You will need a field guide like Newcombs or Petersons (available at your local library). Some "wildflowers" are aggressive, weedy non native plants that you will not want in your garden. Once identified, do research with garden books or on the Web to see what sun, soil and moisture conditions suit each plant, how tall it grows, when it blooms, whether annual or perennial. Next plan where to put each one based on what you now know about it. Annuals will not come up next year but may reseed themselves.
It may be better to keep them in the pots in a sheltered location and well watered until late August or September. Mid July is a tough time to transplant and the plants will certainly suffer transplant shock and may die.
When time to plant comes, dig a hole deep enough and wide enough to accommodate the plant roots, water the hole with transplant starter fertilizer (diluted in water), gently remove the plant from its pot and place in hole, making sure that the plant crown (top of roots) is not planted deeper than when it was growing wild. Add soil, tamp lightly and water with transplant starter.
Water when soil feels dry to more than an inch below surface; too much water is just as bad as not enough. The plant may wilt and lose leaves for a few weeks but should recover and send up new shoots next spring.

What soil do wild flowers prefer?
It depends on their native soil.
Wild flowers from, say the Lake District will prefer an acid soil, whereas those from the chalky Marlborough Downs will prefer ... chalky soil!
Look up the flowers you want to grow (an internet search). Find out what their natural habitat is, and recreate it in a pot.

hope this helps
Reply:wild soil i guess
Reply:It matters what flower you are talking about. Some require 100's of inches of rain a year and others live in deserts and some grow in rocks...it really matters. But it usally should be neer areas of pollinators (bees, birds, wind, etc)
Reply:I think the answer lies in the soil....................
Reply:Thats what nature is. The flowers that grow in a specific place, grow there because they can.If you took a cutting. or seedling and tried to plant it someplace else, in some other type of soil, it probably wouldnt grow.
Reply:It depends on the region. Wild is the definitive word; the seeds of indigenous plants will migrate (wind, birds, bees) within the area and reproduce there.
What kind of flowers would you suggest for a winter wild west wedding?
MY wedding is going to be a themed wedding. The theme is WILD WEST. Like from the movie Tombstone. I am excited and we haven't set the date but I am looking for help in what kind of flowers are good for this kind of wedding. I have noticed that this is going to be harder than I thought due to the fact that I live in Florida and it is more of a Beach wedding kind of state. Beaches are not for me. So if you have some suggestions... please let me know.
What kind of flowers would you suggest for a winter wild west wedding?
Check the flowers that are native to Arizona and the Tombstone area. (See link below) It is beautiful country but I do not remember what type of flora was there when we visited. Also check out the other links below for a look and some idea from Tombstone -- a very beautiful and neat place to visit.
Reply:Cut wildflowers with some basic ribbon nothing fancy.
Reply:Hi. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary. I agree with the others. Think simple wildflowers....PLAIN daisies (not the more popular gerbera daisies), and other small wildflowers. Back then they did not have fancy bouquets. They simply gathered some wildflowers the day of the ceremony and carried them. Perhaps you can tie them with a think silk ribbon, but I would leave it at that.
If you are thinking of flowers for the centerpieces....same thing....something really plain and simple.
Reply:Think about sunflowers, black eyed susans, daisies, cocks comb or dahlias. Mountain wildflowers are nice (columbine, bluebells) but they can also be expensive.
Reply:I gotta agree with Stormchaser. A bride of those times might have had a bouquet of just-picked wildflowers, tied with a simple ribbon. Nothing elaborate.

Saw a bouquet once, made only of baby's breath. It was very pretty. Maybe something like that???
Reply:why not native wild flowers. that grow in the area where your planning to have your wedding. Have your wedding on a ranch. Im sure they have ranches there in Florida.
A gf of mine loves country western anything. So when she and her husband (who is from montana) decided to get married. They knew exactly what they wanted to do. They asked his grandfather about converting his unused barn into a wedding and reception venue. She wore a western cut wedding dress. He wore a western cut suit. They didn't have any attendants. Her daddy is a preacher, and he married them. :) Their whole wedding cost less then $3500.00. They spent their honeymoon on a camping trip in montana.
good luck to you. :)
Reply:Dried wild flowers.
Reply:I suppose some white flowers as

great idea
Reply:Go with sunflowers in yellows, reds, and oranges with wheat filler. I think these would be beautiful.

Why is it the wild flowers are all shorter than the house ones？?
Well all plants require plenty sunlight (and strong stem) if they are to be tall. In forest environment, the taller trees block most of the sunlight from the flowering plants (which have rather weaker stem, so are short firsthand), so are somewhat shortened than in the house where they are much cared and left with plenty of sunlight.
Why is it the wild flowers are all shorter than the house ones？?
Because they do not need to be tall to survive. They just need to produce seed and propagate. Competition with other plants means that they will do this efficiently, without wasting energy and nutrients by being tall and pretty.
Reply:Are you speaking about the same wildflower in the wild compared to the same flower in the home garden? For one thing, most flowers were wild at one time.But they've been changed a bit to make them easyer to care for. Hybridized is the word.

Where would you recommend to see the wild flowers nearest to San Antonio?
Go to McAllister Park closer to the Airport side. Very pretty. Also along the way to Corpus Christi on I37S just outside of San Antonio and on the way to Poteet I35S again just outside of San Antonio. Finally on the way to Boerne I10N once more just outside of San ANtonio.
Where would you recommend to see the wild flowers nearest to San Antonio?
I would suggest along the highways...35 up to Austin and 10 over the Houston.....or take the hill country drive north on 281
Don't forget your camera !!!

Can any one help in the identifacation of wild flowers?
I have a picture of a small flower from the south coast of Swanage England
Can any one help in the identifacation of wild flowers?
from the web page ...
This is an identification program for wildflowers in the northeastern and north-central parts of United States and adjacent Canada (if you live on the West Coast, try Reny's Wildflowers). Fill out the form as best as you can and you'll find which wildflowers match. If you find no flowers that match, use the "Back" button and try unchecking a box or two. If you want to see all the flowers in the database, simply hit "Identify" without checking any boxes.
Reply:Swanage is lovely. The Isle of Purbeck all in all is amazing.
Try buying a small wild flower identification guide from Amazon. Photos are best, but read reviews.
Or look on a website called Plants for a future. They are very good.
Reply:if you describe it for us perhaps we could help you narrow your search. eg colour, number and shape of petals, height, describe leaves, habitat etc,

Another, and probably better, option is to join a Natural History Club of some sort where you will find no end of people able to identify the plants for you.
You will find that you gradually start to identify them yourself and very satisfying it is too.

We have had a lots of rain here in Oklahoma. I have wild flowers I've never had.?
My question is: How do you tell the weeds from the flowers.
We have had a lots of rain here in Oklahoma. I have wild flowers I've never had.?
Hi sister Okie,
Stillwater here. Anyhow, most weeds are a matter of preference and there really is no way to tell you which are considered weeds without seeing the plants you are referring to. What one person considers a pretty flower, another considers it a weed. My only suggestion is to wait until they bloom and see which ones you like and want to keep and which ones you don't and pull them out. I'm sorry, I know that is not much help.
Reply:Get a book on Oklahoma wildflowers. Some people consider wildflowers to be weeds, just better looking than most. I personally love them regardless of where they grow, even in my garden.
Reply:Good answers. Another okie here. My bet is, based on 40+ years here, is that 90% of the new stuff is weeds, since we seem to have more weeds than anywhere else on earth (just back from 13 other states last week, no one seems to have our weed problem!).
Reply:I'm an Okie and I love wildflowers (and it hasn't rained today...yet). I dig them up and bring them into my yard. The only way I can tell "weeds" from "wildflowers" is to wait until they bloom. Sometimes the weeds bloom pretty and I keep them (unless they're thistles). A weed may be defined as something growing where you don't want it.

Reply:ALL wild flowers - in which country?
Why don'y you go to your local/college library or bookshop and get a book for identification of wild flowers so you can see together the following:
- the picture (%26amp; description, habitat etc)
- the common name (wherever you are)
- the Latin name
Surely in your course, it's not just knowing Latin names that is important, but knowing which flowers they relate to?! Context is important.

I have a perfect circle of small purple wild flowers growing in my front yard. What causes it?
In Celtic folklore it is called a fairy ring. According to tradition you are to enter the ring and stand in the center. Then turn around three times while making a wish. If the fairies find you worthy they will grant your wish. In reality no one can tell you for certain how it happens. But it does happen naturally without human intervention. Most of the time it is mushrooms that grow in circles. Flowering plants are very rare to do this. It can be caused by gopher tunnels or a whirl wind at seed spawn. If you have children let them make a wish and enjoy it.

Reply:It starts with one, which spreads its seeds in a circle. The circle grows with generations.
Reply:These are not flowers, they are weeds. I know that mushrooms grow in circles because the majority of the fungus is underground and grows in a circular pattern there. Possibly, your weeds also pertain to this. Hope i helped! : )
Reply:If the leaves look like a spade (cards), then it is wild violets. If you want to get rid of them without harming grass then spray weed and brush killer on it. Regular weed spray (24D) will not kill it, you need something with Triclopyr in it to get rid of it. Good Luck

They usually grow wild along the road. At least in Indiana they do. Does anyone know or have a pic of wild chicory or any info?

Plant Profile Chicory (Cichorium intybus):
http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symb...
A native of Europe, it has escaped from cultivation and naturalized throughout North America.http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/wilds...
They're pretty! It roots were ground up %26amp; used as a substitute for coffee. "When World War II disrupted shipping, most U.S. "coffee" was produced from chicory. Caffine-free, it is regaining popularity".*
Hope this helps.
Reply:The plant you are probably looking at is a CornFlower. This flower is one of the first and truest blue flowers found in nature. Very Hardy and not unusual to find in a roadside setting. It is primarily found in the Northern US.
It makes a wonderful flower to plant away from a home garden. The seeds can be ordered. Placed some three foot or so from a Blue Spruce or the dripline of a Red Maple it is a great addition. It has an agressive root system which makes it unacceptable in the beds directly by your house (foundation planting beds).
If you have the space a raised bed of these with some Daisies applicable to your area in the center and some DayLilly on the corners would attract attention. Daisey come in many colors (Rudebeckia). Imagine the Blue center surrounded by say a red or pink Daisey with Yellow at the edges.

Reply:You can't put pictures in questions, but you can put links. Try loading your shots to another web site, and posting the link here. You're also welcome to send the shots to me ( tricia_genealogy@earthlink.net ), and I'll try to identify them for you. I seem to have a knack for it, as well as two REALLY good Audubon wildflower field guides :-)
Reply:One can put pictures on their 360 page, %26amp; refer people (in the question) to that page, to look at the picture. I've seen people do that, before.

My wild flowers are falling over each other and some are out of bloom and look like weeds. Do I cut them out?
Will they come back?
My wild flowers are falling over each other and some are out of bloom and look like weeds. Do I cut them out?
You can cut them back for appearance. But if you cut off all the seed heads, they won't reseed.
Daisies, which are just going out of bloom in my garden, will rebloom. I trim them or sheer large patches, trying to cut just the top 6 inches and leave the areas where they will grow side shoots.
I leave some heads to go to seed on some plants, though. Even though daisies are perennials, some die every year and it's good to have replacements. With other wildflowers, if the plants are annuals, you NEED the seeds to give you next year's patch.
Reply:you can cut them back, yes. Some plants will regenerate blooms, some don't. you didn't say what kind of plant it was...
Reply:Tie up the good ones, cut out the bad ones, they will seed and grow back next year.
Reply:The vast majority of wildflowers are annuals not perennials. Hence, if they are finished blooming and have set their seed heads, you may cut them down as they will reseed themselves. That's why you will notice that the road crews don't cut the roadside in spring until all the wildflowers have set their seed. They can then cut and be certain that there will be flowers next spring.

I have a garden in full bloom of wild flowers i planted from seed What do I need to do to keep it looking good
Will it continue to bloom all summer? Do I cut them back or just let them go?
I have a garden in full bloom of wild flowers i planted from seed What do I need to do to keep it looking good
Water once a week (If no rain) and let them go!
Reply:Both. Don't you love those straight answers! You need to leave some of the annuals alone so they set seed for next year. The trick is to leave the later blooming flowers and tidy up the early blooming annuals. However, we may have trouble determining who's going to bloom again, so I try to leave some at all times. I doubt you have any perennials flowering if this is a new planting, but those you can leave or harvest the old flowers at your pleasure. Some are so appreciative of you taking off the early flowers that they will flower again.
Congratulations on your wildflowers!

Best time to see Texas wild flowers?
What is the best time of year to see wild flowers in the Austin and San Antonio area? I think I'll be in Texas this July. Even if July is not the best time to see wild flowers, is July still a good month to see wild flowers in the Austin - San Antonio area?
Best time to see Texas wild flowers?
Wildflowers start blooming in mid-March, and stay until the end of April. You may still see some in May, but they're usually burned off by June.
Reply:I was in the area last week and everything was in full bloom. We stopped often on the side of the highway to take pictures of fields of wild flowers. Cactuses were in bloom also. Sorry, I don't know about July. But if you are going to San Antonio, definitely go to the River Walk. There's restaurants all along the Guadalupe River and boats you can take tours on and/or have dinner on. In one section you'll hear bagpipes playing and in another a mariache band. Excellent diversity in food choices. No railing separates you from the river. I found that surprising - with all the bars right there I was waiting for a happy partier to fall in.
If you like history, go to the Alamo in San Antonio.
Reply:This year we didn't have a good crop because of our lack of rain, but in Fredricksburg there is this place that has wonderful flowers, they sell flowers and have a garden, completely worth the trip.
Reply:During the summer months,the best place I've seen for Texas wildflowers,especially the Bluebonnets are right on I - 10 West(El Paso) @ 1604. Just pull over to the side and check them out.
Reply:last month, by july they are gone because of the heat the only wild flowers you will see in july are considered weeds
Reply:March-April
Reply:The heat will probably do them in by then....but if it keeps on rainin then maybe some will be left. Best time is Apr/May.
Reply:I'll take a wild guess, springtime?!

Is it illegal to collect wild flowers (root and all) for transplant from the roadsides of Texas?
If it is the Blue Bonnet then yes. That is the state flower and it is illegal to pick it at all.

How should I plant the seeds for wild flowers?
I have some poppy and lupin seeds.
How should I plant the seeds for wild flowers?
rake the soil to loosen it. toss the seed into the soil. (sort of like feeding the chickens) you want them to look as natural as possible. lightly run the back of the rake over the soil and lightly water everyday till they come up.
Reply:Just throw the poppy seeds down on scuffed up soil, or bare soil. Lupine are Biannual, won't flower the first year, will the second. Best started indoors on wet paper towel in a plastic bag. Transplant to pots when they sprout.
Some people nick the seed coat and soak in water overnight, or sew them in the ground twice the depth of their diameter. Your choice.
Any wild flower seeds planted directly in the ground want surface water daily, they'll tell you if you listen.
I prefer the "throw down" self seeding kids. Have fun.
Reply:As MartaZ suggests but the soil will need to be poor quality to avoid the seeds being swamped later by grasses and deep rooting perennials.

Have you ever found any odd wild flowers on your yard or where you live? And where do you live?
I live in Ontario, Canada, Zone 5. There are tons of different kinds of wildflowers around here, I don't even know all the names of them. This spring, I found the weirdest flower up in my hill. It was near some moss, it was an orchid, called a Lady's Slipper. It was so weird looking, and nobody even planted it there. So weird. What about you?
Have you ever found any odd wild flowers on your yard or where you live? And where do you live?
The first time I saw "Indian Pipe" I thought it was a weird mushroom not a flowering plant - way too weird!! The most recent odd ball was a "porcupine tomato" or Solanum pyrocanthus, I uploaded a pic of it in my 'question' last week. I live in North Dakota, but saw the Indian Pipe in Virginia. RScott
Reply:I grew up in country NSW australia. On our property amidst the long dry yellow grass after rain often would pop up the tiniest little purple native orchids - and the most amazing thing about them, they seriously smelled just like chocolate. I never knew what they were called - my brother and I just named them "chocolate flowers".
Reply:I don't know that the plant itself is considered odd, but I think it's a peculiar coindence. In the first house we owned, I was out doing yardwork and noticed two little familiar leaves among the grass. A rose! I put stakes around the tiny leaves and let it sprout up. It turned out to be a beautiful burgundy mounding rosebush that a former owner had cut back and part of it survived.
In the home where we live now, the same exact thing happened only this rosebush is a wild rose. It blooms once in the springtime with tiny white blooms that resemble apple blossoms. The shrub is HUGE now. If I don't prune it down to the ground every fall it will take over the yard.
I live in northern Viriginia.
Reply:Hey "me again", I have cactus in my garden in New Hampshire, just north of you. It's a version of prickly pear that is hardy. It gets lovely large yellow flowers... definitely cactus flowers. I have it planted at the front of my front flower bed; people come up to the garden to look at it and blink in surprise. It survives the winter!
The lady's slipper is a lovely wildflower. In my state it's protected; you cannot collect it from the wild and you should not destroy it or its habitat.
I ended up with a couple purple loosestrife in my housefront garden. They're not unusual in New Hampshire, but there are not any in my neighborhood so I have no idea where they came from. They're pretty so I keep three of them in that garden, but I'm keeping them from spreading which they will do, voraciously choking out native plants; they're not native here.
Reply:I found a cactus. Granted it was a small one, but it just didn't belong in Massachusetts.
Reply:Yes, I had these weeds popping up all over my yard when I first moved here (Southern). On the otherside of my yard is open land loaded with vines and more vines of strange looking, but beautiful flowers. Almost tropical. Well, I went to the local garden shop and was about to purchase this vine (quite expensive!) and realized that it was the exact vine that wants to take over my yard. LOL Purple Passion Vine. Be careful watch you wish for. Now, every summer, I get to choose where I want this vine to grow and never have to plant or buy a thing.

What is the difference between 'wild flowers' and 'weeds'?
Is there a biological or taxonomic definition of 'weeds', or is it merely a matter of personal choice as to what constitutes a weed: sort of a 'one man's meat...' situation?
What is the difference between 'wild flowers' and 'weeds'?
as a gardener, I have found that if it pulls out easy...it WAS an expensive plant....and if you pull and pull and it wont come out......... it's a weed!... All joking aside...
basically all ornamental plants are just Hybrid weeds. and wildflower is just a nice word for weed. Some are very pretty and will attract more butterflies and hummingbirds than cultivars.
Reply:a weed is merely a plant growing in the wrong place!
Reply:The price. I have pulled weeds out of my yard only to see them for sale at a nursery. Go figure I could have been rich by now.
Reply:I don't know give us a clue.
Reply:A weed is any unwanted plant. It is indeed a "one man's meat" situation. I saw a plant for sale in a Vancouver nursery that I routinely pull out of my garden as a weed. One time a visitor from Greece saw some weeds in my lawn and coveted them as a good-tasting vegetable (how lucky I am)..
Reply:I'm no gardener, but my neighbour is, and he agrees with "Chris". The only weeds in your garden are those plants you don't want!
When it comes to this sort of situation, I do not believe that any normal definition can apply. It's all down to personal choice.
Reply:Weeds are the plants that keep invading my garden in the wrong places, and take the space of those I did want. Wild flowers are those plants that never have the cheek to plonk themselves down in my garden!
Reply:A weed is a plant growing in the wrong place.
Reply:Wild flowers are weeds and weeds are wild flowers. You either love 'em or hate 'em. Wildlife (bees, birds, butterflies etc.) usually love 'em so every garden should have a 'wild' patch. Some of them are really very pretty too, not so flamboyant as cultivated ones but often more delicate.
Reply:Weeds are plants that are growing in the wrong place, that is true, and so can wildflowers. However, many weeds can also be wide spreading and invasive, crowding out other plants and choking up their food supplies.
I have wild violets in my garden. They're really pretty in bloom and their leaves are like ivy. But they're growing all over the place, in my hosta bed, all over my roses, and they're creeping into the neighbour's yard so that they'll have to deal with them as well, which is sort of inconsiderate. Pretty... but too much.

What wild flowers in nc are white and u can blow them and make wishes?
is it a dandelion? but they are yellow on line!!
kids play with them and blow them and make wishes, they are really weeds.
i want to see pic of white peddles..
What wild flowers in nc are white and u can blow them and make wishes?
Yes, it's dandelions kids blow to make wishes - but it's not the flower itself - it's the seed pod that forms after the flower fades.
It becomes this white "puff ball" thing - you blow, and the little white poofs all blow off, each carrying a single tiny seed. Blow them all off in one breath, and you get your wish - so the saying goes.
Reply:Dandelions.The "puff ball" is the seed pods.
Reply:yes it s a dandelion--they grow in Mississippi also-- when they are yellow they are to blow the petals off--when they turn White they are dried enough to blow them off--this is the way they reseed them selves

Where in the US can I find a field of big wild flowers?
My sister has been dying to find one before she graduates.. "it doesn't matter what kind of flowers, just as long as they're really tall and pretty..and the field is huge!".. to run around in and stuff. any suggestions?
Where in the US can I find a field of big wild flowers?
~*~The Texas Hill Country area has huge fields of bluebonnets and other wild flowers in the spring. In Colorado in August there are huge farms with fields of 4 foot to 6 foot tall sunflowers.
Reply:Most state and national parks will have areas of this. Just go by their park office and ask where they may be. If they don't have them, they will more than likely be able to tell you where in the area that there may be some.

Best wild flowers for the edge of woods?
I want to buy some flower seeds to throw out at the edge of the woods on our property. I'm thinking I might like a seed mix where flowers bloom at different times during the year. I need something that is easy to plant since I want to cover a large area so throwing out some seeds would work out well.
My hobby is digital photography so I would like to plant something that is eye appealing and that attracts butterfilies, bees, etc.
Also, where can I find a good deal on flower seeds? Do I purchased these online or local?
I am located in northern Alabama.
Thanks for the help!
Best wild flowers for the edge of woods?
I have, in general, found that tossing seeds in areas results in feeding the ants, birds, and so on... I presume... because I rarely see plants. It would be a waste of money. The only time I have had success is when I had heaping amounts of wild flower seed, harvested from daisies and black eyed susans and the like, and scattered them in a waste area. I did get flowers from that, but I would suspect that one in 100 seeds sprouted. Which is why they make so many!!!
You'd do better getting plants or growing them in the spring in little pots and planting them out. You can OFTEN get divisions of plants from friends and neighbors and family. If you want buy seeds, take a look at Wildseed Farms catalog, which is in fact recommended by the Alabama Wildflower Advisory. Both links are in Sources.
If you purchase flowers, take a look at the Wildseed Farms catalog as a reference. It has a ton and a half of info, and these wilder flowers are great for woodland edges.
Enjoy!
Reply:a butterfly bush!! i have one in my backyard.. in about three days, butterflies will be all over it.. theyre purple- the bush, i mean lol..
good luck!!
you can get them online or at a store..
Reply:You want to determine how much sun your plants are going to get. I would suggest a part sun or shade perennial mix. Perennials will come back every year. Throwing out seeds may not work well as birds may eat the seeds. You might want to try laying out the seeds then covering them with a thin layer of hay and chicken wire (to keep the hay in place) so the seeds stay where they are suppose to. My hobby is photography as well! Good Luck!

If you want buy seeds, take a look at Wildseed Farms catalog, which is in fact recommended by the Alabama Wildflower Advisory. Both links are in Sources.
If you purchase flowers, take a look at the Wildseed Farms catalog as a reference. It has a ton and a half of info, and these wilder flowers are great for woodland edges.
Enjoy!
Reply:a butterfly bush!! i have one in my backyard.. in about three days, butterflies will be all over it.. theyre purple- the bush, i mean lol..
good luck!!
you can get them online or at a store..
Reply:You want to determine how much sun your plants are going to get. I would suggest a part sun or shade perennial mix. Perennials will come back every year. Throwing out seeds may not work well as birds may eat the seeds. You might want to try laying out the seeds then covering them with a thin layer of hay and chicken wire (to keep the hay in place) so the seeds stay where they are suppose to. My hobby is photography as well! Good Luck!
What wild flowers are best to plant in a weedy ravine?
Behind my house there is a small ravine (water retention though not functional as that anymore). It gets full of milkweeds, and long grass. Is there anything I could plant that would spread and bloom some type of flowers? Either plant now (June) or plant next spring (i.e. something that can compete with the weeds)

Looking for types of names for wild flowers?
I found a wild flower in my garden and it blossomed about a week ago, it very pretty and attracts butterflies, but I don't know what it is can someone help me?
Looking for types of names for wild flowers?
wildflowers fall in the same category as weeds
google it and search for weed identification in your area
you can also take a piece of it to your county extention
Reply:Is it a crocus or Ladyslipper?
Reply:Your local library probably has a couple of dozen books on the subject. Maybe go into a book store and browse. Peterson's and National Geographic field guides are good resources.

Where are the best places in urban Philadelphia to pick 'wild' flowers?
I know this is crazy, but i was wondering if there are any places where wild flowers grew in philadelphia. thanks!
Where are the best places in urban Philadelphia to pick 'wild' flowers?
Go around 40th and Woodland, in University City. On Woodland avenue going towards the hospital, look on the side of the street, there are many different kinds of lovely flowers growing on the patchy grass area. It is right next to where SEPTA goes underground.
Also, walk into the graveyard right across from the 40th street portal at Woodland Ave. (where SEPTA lets off)...there are many different plants in there.
Also walk near the new Veterinarian hospital (around the same area...you can't miss it, it's right across from the VA hospital. There are a lot of flowers growing in that area.
I walk by these places almost every single day. I live right next to them so I know there are flowers there. I even picked a couple once myself for someone.
Reply:we have so few flowers...please dont pick them!

I have wild flowers that are past blooming and I have thinned them out. Are there flower seeds for the fall?
I live in Missouri and started the wild flowers from seed and they came up real nice. Are there flower seeds I can plant now for fall?
I have wild flowers that are past blooming and I have thinned them out. Are there flower seeds for the fall?
most wildflowers will self sow if you have thinned them save some seeds and plant them as seeds after first frost for next years flowers as far as flowers for the fall cardinal flowers for shade but they won't bloom until the second year try some mums or african daisies for sunny areas I am in NE missouri
Reply:I did this too. I was just looking at the catalog I have from wildseedfarms.com and they say in zone 6 you can plant the seeds in late fall but they just remain dormant over the winter. No mention of growing up and blooming at this time. They recommend early spring planting for zone 6.
They say for warmer zones that the seeds would quickly germinate if planted in the fall so they have more options there.
The part of MO I am in is so dry I am not even going to anything but scythe down the dried up ones and let the seeds fall where they may.

Wild flowers in wet area in lawn in Massachusetts?
I have a wet area (most of the time) in the middle of the lawn. This makes it difficult to mow and upkeep, so I just let it grow wild as an 'island' in the middle of the lawn. Any suggestions on wild flowers or something I could put there. I do not want to till it. Just want something easy that will grow on its own. Any suggestions on what to get, how to get it and when to plant it would be appreciated.
Wild flowers in wet area in lawn in Massachusetts?
Just throw a handful of wild flower mix on the area and see what happens. They make various mixes I'll bet there's even a mix for wet areas, Google it. RScott
Reply:I am not familiar with your climatic conditions but if it were mine I would fill it with Arums or a Gunnera perpensa both are stunning - assuming full sun.

Good luck. I had a wildflower meadow where I used to live and it was beautiful. My house was next to a lake and people used to stop to take pictures of the wildflowers with the lake and mountains in the background.

Reply:I believe you're looking for catalogs. Here in the U.S., our growing season is coming to a close, but if you're in a part of the world where spring is about to start, you might simply look online for nurseries in your area, and find the ones that offer plants and/or catalogs. Happy gardening :-)
Reply:Search the web under "wildflowers" or "wildflower catalogs". There are many listed. Once you get one or two and your name gets circulated, you'll get bunches of catalog (ue)s.
For starters try: www.prairienursery.com
Reply:I would type in Seeds, plants, etc.I can't remember the site, but there is one I did find.We have Yates here in New Zealand, but don't know website address. Otherwise try Wikipedia .com
Reply:By "books selling flowers" I think you mean a catalog.
Do you want a catalog that sells seeds and/or baby flower plants?
Or were you looking for a supplier of cut flowers?

In Wisconsin around when do the wild flowers start to show?
I do a lot of traveling to take immages of wild flowers and I would like to know when they start to show in upper Wisconsin. I know the time varies from year to year but in general when do thay start;also is there any groups on wild flowers.
In Wisconsin around when do the wild flowers start to show?
Try this site http://wisplants.uwsp.edu/wildflower.htm...
this one has bloom dates http://www.ridgesanctuary.org/wildflower...
Reply:in 'northern' Wisconsin they begin to bloom on average towards the middle to end of June, because we have had a mild winter compared to years in the past it could be sooner. for peak bloom look towards July- mid August....hope this helps
Reply:Usually right around Mother's Day - the first week in May. That's the best time for photographing the wild flowers with all of their full colors.
Reply:allmost may before we get flowers up here!
