Usually minimum wage. If a regular four hour shift is worked on a steady night expect to make $30-50. Averaging out to $13.40-18.40/hr.

Will perennial plants come back in flower pots?
Yes, perennial plants will come back in flower pots as long as they are provided with proper care such as adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients. It's important to ensure that the pots have good drainage to prevent waterlogging, and consider dividing or repotting the plants if they become overcrowded.
What is an example of a musky odor?
A musky odor typically refers to some animals like skunk and muffet, whose sexual glands at the base of their tail produce a rather persistant odor used to mark their territory. Though usually considered alone as incomodating, the musky odor is often added in trace quantities to masculine perfumes, following a general principle that a high quality perfume should not contain only good-smelling fragrances, but also tidbits of so-called death or fecal odors to sustain the contrast. Musk is the name originally given to a perfume obtained from the strong-smelling substance, secreted in a gland by musk deer, and hence applied to other animals, and also to plants, possessing a similar odor. The best example of something that smells musky would be a perfume that contains musk - Go to your local perfume store and ask for a sample of musk.

I am not sure a yucca grown in a house will produce viable seeds.
I have always heard that the yucca needs pollination by a species
of moth (which would not be in your house).Best thing is to collect seeds
from a wild yucca.
If you have seeds then put them in a plastic box (keeps in humidity).
Put in a layer of paper towel and about a 1/4' of water. Keep temp
between 50 and 80. In a month many will sprout.
Plant in dirt (50% organic, 50% sand) Keep damp.
Roots will grow deep in the pot. Once the yucca is a few inches high,
it will be hardy.

Because bacteria develops in the water. In addition to making the water smell bad, it can also shorten the life of the cut flowers. This is one of the reasons it is recommended that you change the water every other day.

Can you show the parts of the gumamela flower?
Anthers
· Male pollen grains are deposited onto the stigma. The stigma contains the flower's ovules that will start to turn into seeds after they are pollinated.
Petals
· The style, or flower's ovary, is housed in the stamen column. The style branches out into five arms outside the stamina column. Each arm supports one of the gumamela's stigma.

Could Salt prolong the life of cut flowers?
No, most plants can be damaged or killed by salt.
To keep cut flowers fresh longer, you can try several things with household products such as:
* Put two teaspoons of sugar and 3 drops of chlorine bleach per quart of cool water to use in the cut flower vase. * Use the bleach only, in same proportions with cool water. * Mix 7-up (or Sprite or similar clear carbonated drink) in the water; about 1/8 cup per quart of water. * Drop an aspirin along with two teaspoons of sugar in a quart of water. The purpose of these additives to the water is to provide some 'food' for the flowers (sugar or soft drink sugars--use regular and not diet soda) and something to inhibit bacterial growth (bleach or acids such as provided by the aspirin and the carbonated drinks.)
Other important (perhaps more important than additives) steps to take include keeping the water fresh by changing it daily. keep the flowers out of direct sun and in a cooler part of the room.
Before arranging the flowers, cut off any leaves that will be below the level of the water in the vase, leaves or other debris in the water will hasten the degradation of the water (rot, decomposition) and allow bacteria to grow and in turn cause the flower stems to begin to degrade and not be able to "absorb" water any more. Also keep only as many leaves as needed for a nice arrangement attached to the flowers, extra greenery left on the stems will rob the flowers of water and nutrients and make them wilt sooner.
To prepare the stems for arranging, cut the ends at an angle so they do not rest flat on the bottom of the vase. Angled ends allow better transfer of the water up the stems. Use a very clean and sharp knife to make a clean cut diagonally across the ends. Ideal is to cut the stems under water to keep the saps from thickening and clogging the water transfer up the stems, and to prevent a bolus of air from entering the ends affecting the capillary action. If unable to cut the stems under water, as soon as the ends are cut, immediately put them in water, do not delay that process.
Recut the stem ends each day when changing the water to keep the ends open and not 'sealed'.
If the flowers have a woody consistency to the stems such as roses, pussy willow, and forsythia, the capillary action will be improved if you gently smash the very tip ends to open them into shredded fibers. I whack them with the clean bottom of a saucepan or use the flat side of a kitchen meat tenderizing "hammer".
There are also some flowers that don't do well sharing vases with other flowers. For example, tulips and some other flowers from bulbs can ooze saps that damage other flower stems, they are best displayed in their own vase. Sunflowers can also create this kind of problem with other flowers.
Finally, to repeat, change the water daily and even if that is the only thing you do, you should see a noticeable increase in the life of the cut flowers.
