Sounds like you have a cross between a Crocus and a Poinsettia. My advise is to take good care of it, and go to the library and search


all the book you can, or take it to or call you local college {Horticulture Dept} and see what they can tell you. Mabe you have something no one else does. Do not give it to anyone, sounds really pretty. Good luck, wish I could see this mistery plant!
Reply:i would like to see plant. go to local nursery bring a flower with you. they will be able to tell you.


How to I care for my new (& newly planted) purple flowering plum tree?

Just planted it about two weeks ago. Live in Missouri.

How to I care for my new (%26amp; newly planted) purple flowering plum tree?
Make sure it never dries out the first few years. Don't over water just deep watering when it needs it. Mulch it with well rotted manures and organic matter (hay). Fertilize annually, and you should have a beautiful tree in no time. They are hardy and no problem to grow.
Reply:Water it weekly and protect it from deer who could rut on it. They will rub their antlers on the trunk and kill the tree. I lost a beautiful crabbapple that way. Wrap a mesh loosely around the trunk.

Where do purple flowers get their colours from?

Good question


Flower colors of red, pink, blue and purple come mainly from the pigments called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are water soluble pigments in the class of


chemicals called flavanoids, which are phenolics. Anthocyanins are found in the


cell vacuoles and are glucosides meaning they contain a sugar molecule.





A classic experiment uses the anthocyanins in red cabbage as a pH indicator


because anthocyanins change color depending on the pH. You could do the same


thing with flower petals. An easy way is to crush a red rose petal on a white


plate with the back of a spoon and add either vinegar (acid) or baking soda


(base) and note the color change. A college lab manual has an experiment on


chromatography of flower anthocyanins (Witham et al. 1971).





Flowers may also contain another class of pigments called carotenoids, which


are responsible for red in tomato and orange in carrot root. Carotenoids are


red, yellow and orange in color. They do not reside in the vacuole but in


organelles called plastids, either in green chloroplasts or in nongreen


chromoplasts

Where do purple flowers get their colours from?
I DONT KNOW SORRY!
Reply:from biology point of view pigment anthocyanin is reponsible for it.


from physics point of view it shows this type of colour coz it reflects some part of the sun light falling on it which gives us purple colour appearence.

Where can I find floating candles with strings of fake flowers attached to the bottom to use as centerpieces?

I saw a centerpiece online awhile back and it was a tall cylinder glass filled with water and a disc (round) floating candle with a strand of small purple flowers hanging from the bottom of the candle. I want to use them as my centerpieces for my wedding. Please help!!

Then, with the floating candle (as in the link above). However, there is not a strand of flowers hanging from the bottom of the candle itself....but, just a strand of garland flowers put into the vase before the candle is put in. Here is a picture of something similar:

Transferring ground flowers to a pot?

I just took a walk around the house outside and found some of the prettiest purple flowers. They are gorgeous! The only problem is, they're off to the side of our driveway and I'm afraid that some neighbors may kill them! I'd really like to transfer them into a regular pot. What are the best methods for taking ground plants and making them into potted ones? Will this little guy have any chance of surviving if I keep it watered and tended to every day? What are some tips and tricks you would use? Thank you!

Transferring ground flowers to a pot?
what can it hurt to try.. if the neigbors are gonna kill 'em anyway.





Get good potting soil and a pot larger than the plant's root mass. place the root mass in the potting soil and water it well. keep the plants in the same light conditions that they were in before and keep the plants watered and add some fertilizer after you see that they will be OK...





Hope for the best..





good luck!
Reply:I would get a large enough planter. Put some rocks in the bottom, put your plant in, and add potting soil. Then just water and feed it regularly.
Reply:I've done this many times. Just dig widely around the base. Loosen the dirt with water (do not damage the roots) Put it in a pot with potting soil. Water with miracle grow. Or, you could move it to a safer place in your yard. Same way.

What can I use to poison the purple flowered tibouchina plant?

I have tried drilling deep holes and pouring in blackberry poison and have also tried roundup. I have also chopped some of the roots. I don't just want to cut it down and leave a stump I want to totally get rid of it. It's trunk is fairly large and has many main roots sprouting off the base. Any suggestions I would be apprecaitive. thanks

What can I use to poison the purple flowered tibouchina plant?
Why not try digging a hole under the roots in the ground and start a fire under it to see if you can kill it that way and to burn the root and trunk system otherwise you may have to get someone in with a stump grinder but that will probably cost a bit of money.
Reply:If its trunk and roots are as sprawling as you have suggested, it is most likely mis-identified as they are shrubs (Tibouchina urvilleana) and do not develop as you have suggested.

Who knows the name of a purple-flowered plant I thought was archiminius?

It's a cutting from a friend and it's lovely but I want to know how to propogate and how to care for it in the winter.

Who knows the name of a purple-flowered plant I thought was archiminius?
Achimenes. Gesneriaceae. This is a perennial. It is a Native to tropical America. Related to the African Violet and Gloxinia family. They require shde outdoors but bright light indoors and regular water. Most tender and mostly grown in pots. When grown in beds is normally used as a ground cover. They are grown from rhizomes so you would most likely need to get one of these from your friend in the fall when they are lifted. I do not know where you live but in most areas they will freeze if not lifted and stored through the winter and replanted in the spring. Just enjoy the cutting you have and tell your friend to give you a start of the rhizome this fall. You can store it in a a cool dry place over winter and plant it in the spring. I normally store mine bulbs and rhizomes in dry peat in tubs layered with newspaper through the winter. Just label it so you know what they are.





I hope this helps. ~smiles~

What kind of flowers are these?

Do you know what kind of flowers these are? Both of purple flowers and the white flowers. Thank you!!!





My sincerest apologies for the cheesy fading pictures. I couldn't find a better place to post the images. I think Yahoo should put a place to upload pictures when you ask questions...





http://img297.imageshack.us/slideshow/pl...

What kind of flowers are these?
A shot of the leaves would really help identify both of these flowers.





I think the purple flowers are Dames Rocket (Hesperis matronalis L.). Someone else suggested Garden Phlox, but the stamens in Phlox are not yellow/green.





The white flowers looks a bit like a snapdragon. Without seeing the back of the flower, and the size of the flower it's hard to tell.
Reply:The purple one looks just like Erysimum 'Bowles Mauve' (wallflower) to me:


http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...





The white one looks like Nemesia fruticans (a white form) or a new hybrid Nemesia, it's a little hard to tell from the picture but I'm pretty certain:


http://www.naturehills.com/product/compa...





Hope this helps.





EDIT: I agree with sailinshoes, it's hard to identify for certain without seeing the leaves. Hesperis and Snapdragon are good calls too.


I still do think that the purple one is Erysimum and not Hesperis because of 2 things: 1) Erysimum flowers up the stalk and once the flowers are spent, they drop and leave the tiny stem as is evident in your photo, 2) Erysimum has a yellow center and Hesperis does not.


In regards to the white one, I did ponder snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) too-which it could very well be. I went with Nemesia because in the photo it looks like the flowers are more clustered and that is reminiscent of Nemesia. Snapdragons flower on a stalk.





Again, this is just my opinion. Seeing the foliage, more of the flower and measurement of the flower would help a lot. At any rate, you have some good answers to investigate further.

Question about caring for iris flowers?

Neighbor dug up a bunch of his in-full-bloom purple standard iris flowers for me and told me to plant them. They are beautiful. I planted them a week ago, and so far, so good (they seem to have "took"). The existing purple flowers are gorgeous, but I don't see any new buds. Are these a type that just bloom once a year and that's it? Once the flowers are gone, do I just leave the leaves as they are in the soil or do I dig them up?

Question about caring for iris flowers?
Yes, the iris just bloom once a year. You can leave them right in the ground, and once the blooms are over trim the leaves down to about 6 inches high, in a fan shape. This helps reduce moisture loss and encourages new growth. Just make sure that the tops of the rhizome are out of the soil, this is the fleshy part under the leaves and over the roots.





I love iris, you're lucky they are still blooming well for you.
Reply:Once a year bloom; but is a perennial.


They will return year after year if planted deep enough. Reproductions are created from new bulbs off existing roots. Next year may be same number of Iris you planted; years later, you should be seeing additional stalks.


I don't trim mine until either fall or next spring; this is an individual's taste.


In pea plants, with the genes for flower color, purple flowers (P) are dominant over red (p). With the genes?

for pollen grain shape, long pollen grains (L) are dominant over round (l). Plants heterozygous for purple flowersand long pollen grains (PpLl) are test-crossed with the homozygous recessive (ppll). The following offspring are produced:


purple, long 118


red, round 122


purple, round 32


red, long 28





Are the genes for flower color and pollen grain shape on the same chromosome? Can you figure out how far apart they are on the chromosome?

In pea plants, with the genes for flower color, purple flowers (P) are dominant over red (p). With the genes?
You need to do a punnet square and work out what result you would expect. Then you need to analyse how far away from the expected results your actual results are. Are the differences in result the same for both characteristics? If so, it is likely that the two characteristics are linked (on the same chromosome).





The number of recombinations reflects how far apart they are on the chromosome, but I can't remember how to calculate it. What's the recombination rate per kilobase of DNA? You should be able to figure it out if you know that.

Where do purple flowers get their color?
it`s all in genetics. if the flowers that it was born from were purple or one of them was purple, then that`s why it is. Purple is dominate over white etc. so thats why...
Reply:the purple color is from a pigment called anthocyanin.
Reply:pigments...there are a whole range of differnet types and are in different levels in different flowers to give the colours we see.


anthocycanins do reds/purples/blues


flavones pale yellow,


carotenes do yellow, orange and red





So while anthocyanins do the main purple the intesity and shade will be affected by the other pigments too.

What types and colour flowers would go with burgundy bridesmaid dresses?

I'm wearing an ivory wedding dress and having burgundy bridesmaid dresses. Initially I planned to have a dark plum colour for the bridesmaids as my favourite colour is purple but the dresses which suited my bridesmaids best came in burgundy (the closest colour they had).





I was going to have cream roses with purple freesias and purple sweet peas. Do freesias and sweet peas come in burgundy? (I can't find any pictures) and would some purple flowers go with burgundy, which is a bit more red?

What types and colour flowers would go with burgundy bridesmaid dresses?
hi bina, there's a burgundy rose with cream flecks through it ,the cream almost looks like paint splash's.. it's called abrakadabra.. it would be perfect for you ,mixed with a cream sweet pea or cream freesia.. for the brides maids a cream rose called vendella would be great.. if you go for cream for yourself it'll just blend in with the dress. where as if you go for the burgundy and leave the brides maids with the cream it'll compliment everything..if you want to put some colour in the bridesmaids dresses ,there's a lovely little flower called allium bullit.. it starts off really deep burgundy on the bottom and goes up to a purple at the top..another lovely burgundy one is zantadescia schwalder..also known as the calla lilly.. hope this helps.. good luck with the big day.. oh and yes i'm a florist..!!
Reply:cream or yellow so that it will contrast w/ the burgundy....avoid red, pink, or burgundy flowers....
Reply:I would say plain cream roses, wrapped with a burgundy ribbon, and little gems / diamonds protruding from the tops on sliver sticks that can't be seen!


Plain, Simple but so stylish and gorgeous looking!
Reply:try tiger lilies...some come white with a deep red center that would go well with the colors of your wedding or you could talk to a florist about what you are looking for
Reply:the cream and purple sound lovely, most florists will dye flowers to suit the colour you want if they don't match the colour you want.
Reply:I would stick with the cream roses which would be a contrast.
Reply:why do nt you have fr ur bridesmaids red roses with cream roses with a touch of all the other flower s ur having it would look lovely and in keeping with ur s

Reply:You sound exactly like me I'm having cream roses with like that fancy Burgundy beading over the top.
Reply:I think a small round bouquet of white carnations and small pink roses would be very pretty and fresh in contrast to the burgundy. happy nuptuals
Reply:deep red and cream
Reply:you have the opposite to what i had, mine was burgundy, bridesmaid ivory, i chose dark red roses, cream lillies, looked lovely, a mixture in both, with the contrast colour more than the other
Reply:OMG ME AND YOU THINK SOOOO MUCH ALIKE!!!!





lol i'm having red bridesmaid dressing first i wanted purple myself. but anywas so i decide to use both those colors.





so red dresses and purple flowers...tahts what i'm doing. and then have the groom wear a purple tie and the groomsmen a red tie...thats what i'm doing!
Reply:Hi what I would do is have them have ivory roses to match your dress and you have burgundy flowers to match the bridesmaids. Im sure they come in burgundy i know freesias come in purple but I dont know about sweet peas. If you let the flourist know what you want then they should be able to do it for you.





Why not just all off you have purple flowers, in the colour purple you wanted. It will still look good and make your dress and the bridemaids dresses stand out.

Where would you find info on flowers that bloom daily?

My dad has these flowers in his front yard that bloom new flowers each day. They are purple flowers. They bloom in the morning and as soon as the sun starts to set they fall off and start growing the new ones for the next day. He has no clue what the name of the flower is just that it is really cool. Can anyone help me find this.





Thanks!!

Where would you find info on flowers that bloom daily?
What you have noticed is diurnal flowering. Most plants that do this bloom with racemes opening in ranks for a day. They consist of hundreds of tiny individual blooms but in the mass those dying after one day are not as conspicuous as daylilies or Hemerocallis are.





Hemerocallis is the plant commonly known as the daylily since each large flower lasts only a single day. The name hemerocallis is derived from the greek meaning beauty for a day. For these plants an extended bloom period is 16 hours. Orange is common but many come in shades ranging from near black tones of purple to lightest lavender. They offer continuous bloom by having a cascade of buds ready to open after the last is done. The stem of blossoms is called a scape. The foliage is like long blades of grass growing from a fan shaped base.

http://www.mobot.org/gardeninghelp/plant...


http://www.extension.umn.edu/distributio...





Many plants use diurnal flowering to conserve their fragrance for times their pollinators are active. Four-O'Clocks do this very early when the light just begins to dim but they open again the next day. It is rare for a plant to trust it will be pollinated in just one day. Blossoms often are missed as not all flowers on a stem set seed.

Purple carrots?edible flowers?

I planted purple carrots are they healthier then the orange kind?Are edible flowers healthy?

Purple carrots?edible flowers?
Purple carrots contain anthocyanins, pigments that act as powerful antioxidants, grabbing and holding on to harmful free radicals in the body. Anthocyanins also help prevent heart disease by slowing blood clotting.





Surprisingly, purple and yellow carrots were grown and eaten as long ago as 900 AD in Afghanistan. People began cultivating orange carrots only about 400 years ago, and most of the world eats them today.





Edible flowers contain vitamin C as well as vitamin A


and many of the pigmentation substances such as beta carotene. Here is a great site that lists the nutritional values for various edible flowers:

If you want to know the genotype of a pea plant that has purple flowers, which would you perform?

a. dihybrid cross


b. genetic linkage


c. Punnett square


d. testcross

If you want to know the genotype of a pea plant that has purple flowers, which would you perform?
d. testcross





A testcross is a cross of an unknown with a known genotype of homozygous recessive for each gene being studied so that the inheritance of the unknown can be determined from the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.
Reply:d. testcross





Cross it with a pea plant that is expressing the recessive flower color (white). If any of the offspring have white flowers, then your purple-flowered plant was heterozygous for its flower color trait.


Why does my Rose of Sharon have two(2) different colored flowers?

I have 3 or 4 very old Rose of Sharon Bushes(maybe 15 years old) I planted from sprouts. I have a "purple" flower Rose of Sharon bush and a "white" flower rose of Sharon bush and between the two is a bush that has "purple" and "white" flowers. The bush was never grafted. It has only one "trunk"; each limb on the bush has it's own individual color.......either all purple or all white but they are all on the same bush. I have heard of flowers changing colors but I have never heard of a bush having two different colored flowers on it without something being done to it and this bush has had nothing done to it to cause this.

Why does my Rose of Sharon have two(2) different colored flowers?
Rose of sharon (Hibiscus), beautiful flowers! The state flower of Hawaii. When they drop their seeds, they grow very easily, and 1 seed from each plant hit the same spot. It looks like 1 plant, but i guarentee it's actually 2 just roots are wrapped real tiight.
Reply:has it always been like this?its possible that it was pollinated by both trees.where did you get the sprouts?if bought from a nursery they may have beendone there.that is odd.enjoy the oddity.

I have a lilac tree that has deep purple flowers, but last year 1/3 of the tree also blooms white flowers.?

Someone told me to trim the white lilac flowers after it bloomed and then next year the whole lilac tree will bloom all deep purple flowers. This year, the tree seems to be blooming even more white flowers! How do I get the whole tree to bloom all purple flowers, as it should? It looks funny with some deep purple and some white. In past years, it was all deep purple. I have mulched it and put lyme to keep less acidic. Help?!

I have a lilac tree that has deep purple flowers, but last year 1/3 of the tree also blooms white flowers.?
It is because it has heterogeneous genes.


Sometimes it will bloom white, and sometime purple, because of the parents.
Reply:Is it possible that your tree was grafted? I have seen other trees that were grafted have some of the graft traits %26amp; some origional. If so and the origional was white, you would have to trim everything off below the graft.





I don't think two colors of flowers look funny. If it is viney, I would wind the t colors of branches together so I had a little of both colors all over. Right now I am dealing with a hybrid rose bush that has yellow, pink, and yellow with pink tips on the blooms of the same bush, in varying digrees of color saturation. Strange, but I love it.
Reply:If the white flowers repulse you, cut back those branches - not just the flowers (or mark them and trim later). It would be best to cut them late summer or fall so that you remove next year's white flower buds that form this season. It is possible you have 2 different plants growing together or it was grafted to have 2 colors on one plant. I don't think acidity affects lilac color (as it does hydrangea).
Reply:I believe that you have a tree that is a result of splicing. This is done in the effort to create new species.





Do not mess with the soil! Lilac are not affected by the acidity of the soil. They actually tend to like undernourished soil.





Now if you try to cut off the white flowers you run a risk that the shock could kill the lilac. Personally i would leave it alone. If you want a pure purple lilac buy and new one and ask if it is on it's own stock.





The following web site has lots of information.
Reply:In the begining of blooming they are deep colored as time goes on the blooms get lighter and lighter in color.


Mine started out deep purple too but then started turning lighter as the buds were getting older. Then they started turning brown and died off.


Is this what could be happening with your lilac bush?
Reply:I am learning something like this in biology at the min!


Its to do with the genes!


The tree must be heterzygous.(two types of allele) This means it can produce 2 colours.


For the tree to produce all the same coulour it must be homozygous.(one type of allele)


The make a homozygous tree(all purple) you must cross fertilise two homozygous.


This prob sounds confusin but i hope it helps:D

October wedding in Texas.Suggestions for purple, blue, yellow, orange, pink flowers? Main color dark purple...

I am getting married in Oct. in Fort Worth, TX. I am looking for purple flowers mostly, with some suggestions for bright blue, magenta, yellow and orange too. My main color is dark purple, so I want to stay away from pastel lavender or lilac. I'm not a huge fan of roses, but I'm going to be making my own bouquet so I want flowers that are easy to work with. Here are some bouquets I like to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:

The bouquet could be fresh or Silk. If you wrap the stems with ribbons of your corresponding colors and let the ribbons trail down it would really be elegant.
Reply:I am a JP, and when it comes to flowers, your florist is the best to ask. Throughout the year there is a variety of flowers that are good. Some flowers that are good for spring are not good for fall, as with any other season. Talk to a florist.

Reply:Too bad your wedding isn't during blue bonnet season!





But for blue flowers you can try Irises, bluebells, for yellow theres daffodils, tulips, esparanza, lilies.





Magenta and orange you can get lillies.

How do you divide purple cone flowers?

We dig them up and divide them in clumps of about 2 or 3. then replant them, spacing them apart, with peat moss and water everyday until they are established. We divide in the fall but, I think the spring would be okay also.

Purple cactus (heterozygote for the dominant purple flower )is crossed with a recessive yellow flower.





if P = purple and p = yellow





Pp x pp

Here a several trees that have fluffy purple flowers.


Flowering cherry, flowering almond, flowering plum,or crab apple. Weeping trees are trained that way by trimming all the but the outermost branches that weighs down the branches and the weight causes "weeping" effect. Different varieties and cultivars of these species are availible and can be white, purple or pink. Some have pretty leaves too.

In pea plants, with the genes for flower color, purple flowers (P) are dominant over red (p). With the genes?

for pollen grain shape, long pollen grains (L) are dominant over round (l). Plants heterozygous for purple flowersand long pollen grains (PpLl) are test-crossed with the homozygous recessive (ppll). The following offspring are produced:


purple, long 118


red, round 122


purple, round 32


red, long 28





Are the genes for flower color and pollen grain shape on the same chromosome? Can you figure out how far apart they are on the chromosome?

In pea plants, with the genes for flower color, purple flowers (P) are dominant over red (p). With the genes?
They are linked on the same chromosome.





purple, long 118 = parental


red, round 122 = parental


purple, round 32 = recombinants


red, long 28 = recombinants





Total = 500


Total recombinants = 32+28 = 60.


% recombinants = 60/500 = 12%.


Cross over frequency = 12% = 12 centimorgan (abbreviated cM) or map unit (m.u.)

Why are the vines of my moon flower purple?

I have moon flower plans, Ipomoea Alba. And I collected seeds form one and planted them. The seeds came up beautiful but with one problem, the vine and leaves have a purple color. The vines are completely a rich purple and the veins in the leaves are purple as well. I am wondering if they are some sort of hybrid or something, or perhaps there is something too rich, or lacking for that matter in the soil. Will they still produce the beautiful white flowers?

Why are the vines of my moon flower purple?
Glenn is correct. The "Alba" is a hybrid; seeds from hybrid plants very often do not appear the same as the plant you collected them from.


I've experienced this with the "Heavenly Blue" hybrid of convolulus (morning glory). It reseeded itself, and the following years all those seedlings produced nondescript purple flowers.


Best to purchase new plants or seeds year to year, Hon.
Reply:the hybrid=cultivar was the 'alba'=white. the seeds reverted to the parent plant. no
Reply:Is there a chance that the seed might not have been labeled correctly? The plant/vine you describe sounds similar to a purple hyacinth bean vine. You might just have to wait until it blooms to find your answer.

It sounds a little off, but if you like the colors I'm sure you can make it work. Maybe add a neutral color to the mix like black for instance.. Or maybe do a very deep purple in the flowers and a deeper red. In my mind I'm imagining you're talking almost royal purple and a bright red. I think if you go with deeper colors it will really look fantastic.

Purple has an intimidating effect on people psychologically. I think the purple and red will clash visually. Just have one intense color, if any. Red and purple together? Too much psychological intensity I think, even if they do somehow go together visually. It's your day though, totally, and I'm sure everyone will want to accomodate you however you want it on your very special and important day.
