White lilies were reported to be Mrs. Kennedy's favorite flower. Someone recalled that her coffin was covered with beautiful white lilies the small variety, the type used in "Mouget Des Bois" perfume (Coty) that was so popular as a fragrance in the 1960's. The lilies were in the shape of a cross, surrounded by what appeared to be green fern clippings. When Carolyn Bessette and JFK, Jr. were married, Carolyn carried a small bouquet of these lilies and JFK, Jr. wore a lily in his boutonniere. It was said that when the guests saw the beautiful bride, coming down the aisle, the sight of her small white bouquet of lilies brought them to tears because they recalled that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis loved that flower.

Roses are considered the most romantic flowers. Red represents love, and yellow means friendship. Although roses are extremely beautiful, there are other flowers that are now becoming very popular, as well. Orchids, carnations; and lilies are often sought out because of their durability.

A horizontal arrangement is one that is low to the vision and extends horizontally to the container. Most dinner arrangements are made this way in order to be properly seen over during the meal. While elements might protrude in the vertical, for the most part the design is a straight line on the horizontal plane.

This is a really tough question because there are so many variables - where is the pool located, type, what type of water handling systems, estimated swimmer load, etc..etc..

First, search the Internet. After a quick Google search using "pool operating costs" as the search criteria, I found a budget estimate from the City of Oklahoma that might be of general interest ... http://www.okc.gov/mgr/mgr_library/20040210/poolreport.html This estimate is interesting because it shows that labor costs (facility management) is generally larger than the fixed costs of water, chemicals, machinery/parts, etc.

The next place to go is to try to find similar pools (in your state or region if possible). Your best bet in being able to get actual operating cost data is for public pools. Contact the City Manager or other city official and ask what operating costs were estimated and approved by the City Council (or other government agency). This information is usually readily available to the public and should give you a very good estimate of ALL of the operating costs.

Last, go visit a similar pool facility and ask to talk with the site manager. He/she might be willing to give you rough estimates of the overall total operating costs. Don't be surprised if they don't want to provide a lot of cost breakdown and details - most facilities would rather not divulge this information.

I used to co-own a flower shop and I can tell you that it all depends on what you intend to use the arrangement for (such as an event) and for how long. For long-term, home use, I would recommend a dried arrangement, but keep in mind that some dried flowers attract moths - which can lead to a host of problems. Silk is a nice alternative. You can find lots of silk flowers that look real and have amazing color. If the flowers are for a picnic or get-together, I would go with fresh. An empty coffee can or oversized coffee mug make nice containers. Here are more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers: * Dried as it gives it a classic old look. It depends on what the atmosphere of your house looks like.

Mainly, the sugar replaces the sugars the plant normally would be producing in either the high light environment of the greenhouse or out of doors. Even though the stem and leaves are probably still producing sugars indoors, the low light is not suitable for normal photosynthesis.

Do you mean flowers purchsed from a florist or a grocery store? Please be more specific with your question. == Is it possible that you did not cut your stems when you brought them home? Cut flowers must have the stems recut before they are vased for display. Another issue is that you did not thoroughly clean the vase before you put flowers in them. After washing the vase, thoroughly rinse it, then put a vinegar solution in it to remove all traces of residue. Solution: 1/4 cup of vinegar to 1/2 gallon of water. Rinse again. Flowers are most susceptable to soap residue. Finally, did you use the nutrient solution that came with the flowers? Many bouquets come with the solution in the package. This solution is both nutrient and anti-fungal, so use it according to package directions.

This is tricky to describe but easy to accomplish. You need your ribbon and a piece of flexible wire. A pair of pliers is nice, but not entirely necessary. Using your non dominate hand, pinch the ribbon about 6" from the end. With your dominate hand, make a loop to one side of the pinch, shiny side out, about 6" long. Now pinch the ribbon with the same fingers of the non dominate hand but as you pinch, twist the ribbon in the pinch so the dull side of the ribbon is facing you. Make the 6" loop with the shiny side out, and once again pinch it and twist. This will always make the shiny side go out. Repeat these two steps, using a smaller loop each side, for seven repeats. Now you have a fist full of ribbon, so how to finish it? Make a small center loop loosly around the thumb of the non dominate hand and let about 6" of ribbon dangle down. Cut ribbon from the bolt. Take the wire and bend it around the ribbon twists and under the center loop that your thumb is holding. Bend wire to the back of the ribbon and twist it by hand until snug against the ribbon. Taking your index finger, insert it into any loop of the ribbon to rearrange it to your satisfaction, leaving the center loop in place. Pull the trailing end of the ribbon to the bottom of the bow, making it about even with the first "tail". When you are happy with the arrangement of the loops, use the pliers to tighten the wire to secure it. Bend the wire in a fashion to use either as a hook for a vase, a pick for a pot, or trim it to tape to a package. Now practice! It gets better over time. This method works with any size ribbon. The narrow ribbon needs 9 loops, and a pot bow only needs 5 loops to look nice.
