What type of turtle do I have?

I am a US soldier in Korea, and I have purchased a turtle on base, at a flower shop. The owner isn't great at English. I know we can not sell items on base from a different country, so I thought maybe you could help. They grow to 3 inches, (right now are 1.5 inches), shell is not boxed, very distinct yellow and green swirls on shell, yellow and dark green stripes on face and neck, stout nose, and a yellow underbelly with black markings under the base of the neck and tail. Please help me figure out the species of bait and speedy!

What type of turtle do I have?
It seems, from your description, that you have a Reeves turtle, which is native to Korea, as well as China and Japan. Congratulations. This is a popular and personable turtle.



Edit: Keep in mind that the Reeves turtle comes in a variety of colors, including the variety you've described. They grow to about five inches Max..



I've added a nice site with more info
Reply:how in the hell do i now??????????????????????
Reply:Map turtle? BUt a picture would get you a good answer...do you have a pic of the turt?
Reply:Your on osan right??? Yeah me too. They only sell three types of turtles at the flower shop. Reeves turtles, Yellow bellys, and Ouachita Map turtles. For pics to compare check out the link below its pictures of my turtles, I have 2 yellow Bellys and 2 Ouachita Maps. If you ever have questions or anything about the turtles hit me up on IM or Email. Oh and btw since you have yellow swirls, I don't think its a reeves turtle. it sounds like a yellow belly.....and they can grow up to 8 inches for males and 12 inches for females. The Ouachita maps are a bit smaller but not much. I bought all of mine the size of a quarter and 6 months later they are about 4 inches.

Reply:First of all, there is no turtle that stops growing at 3", unless it is mistreated.



Next, it could be almost anything. Here are some photos of 'exotic' turtles that might match up: http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/world_o... Click on a species to see if they have photos of the babies listed.
Reply:sounds like some kind of map turtle or something of that sort but i am not sure
Reply:It might be a painted turtle? But I am pretty sure Painted Turtles grow to 6 inches, it may be a different kind of painted turtle.

    Flower help!?

    Okay let's say you want to buy six white roses and six red roses at a local flower shop and uhmm have them delivery to a house not far away like 5-10miles..or so..wht's the avg. price? how advance can you order them?

    Flower help!?
    It doesn't seem like an unusual request. They can probably do it the same day. Next at the latest. But if you can order them a few days ahead it is probably the best.



    Cost of roses vary depending on the area and season, but I would guess it will be $35-50. Maybe a tad more.


    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.

    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


    I own a 3 employee flower delivery shop. r there any IT recommendations?

    We are looking to upgrade an old system. We need to store client information and order histories, we would also like to bill clients electronically. We would also like our delivery driver to have a way to keep track of customer's addresses and specific delivery instructions

    I own a 3 employee flower delivery shop. r there any IT recommendations?
    I would suggest purchasing a new computer through Dell, something basic that will allow you to do the basic functions of a business.



    In addition to that I would suggest purchasing The MS Office 2007 Suite, and you will be able to do all of your word processing and marketing with that software.



    Finally, I would suggest QuickBooks Pro, as it is very user friendly, and you can track orders, and do all kinds of necessary transaction information on it. Its a great program, and if you need to hire someone in your area to help you set it up you can for a nominal fee



    Good Luck with your endeavor!

    What is the name of the purple-flower plant, tree or bush?

    In the South, during my time to shopping to the city, I travelled around the country (from town to town), and noticed where many purple "plants" stand.



    They are not lavenders, but it is smelled the lavenders or else.

    What is the name of the purple-flower plant, tree or bush?
    Could it have been Lilacs??? Pretty purple but grow on trees. Could also be Hyacinth which is a plant that grows from a bulb in the ground
    Reply:If the leaves are purple, it's probably a purple leaf plum, if it's big purple flowers it's probably a royal empress, also called a Princess Paulownia. Or it could be a crabapple or a purple smoke tree.
    Reply:Could it be puple loosestrife. This grows in ditches , swamps, and wet areas.

    Is it normal to cough in certain places?

    well, i have a flower shop and i noticed that for a few months ive been coughing when i come here...its a deep/kinda flemy cough. Im not sure why ...any suggestions?

    Is it normal to cough in certain places?
    You probably have allergies to the flowers.
    Reply:It could be pollen allergy or hay fever. Hay fever is characterized by itchy eyes and running nose and occurs during May-June period for many people. Based on your description, I doubt whether it is pollen allergy since it is deep cough. Could also be due Sinusitis (if you also have pain around your eyebrows.). See a doctor if the conditions persist after a few days.
    Reply:well, you don't have any biological problems... maye you are just joing to be sick for some time... its not the flowers making you cough but instead your sicckness.. try taking carbosisteine to remove the pleghm and try drinking vit.c for your resistence....
    Reply:It's called allergic asthma. Go see you doc. Take Cleritin-D and use a nasal spray for allergies. I will help. Your doc can prescribe an inhaler that will also help with the coughing. Good luck.
    Reply:allergies? maybe every time you smell flowers or just certain types of flowers you react to them.
    Reply:allergies

    SEND FLOWER?? urgent?
    First of all I'm sorry for your loss. I think a special card would be best. You could all a local florist and have them use Teleflora to arrange delivery of flowers over there but they will be super expensive. Can I suggest perhaps a donation to a charity in her name instead? Flowers just die but something in her name could help someone else.
    Reply:You can send flowers using www.ftd.com. They ship internationally, but it can be VERY expensive. My friend's father recently passed in Brazil and I went to the Catholic Church here and asked that a mass be read in his name (he was Catholic). The Church gave me a card that I was able to mail. The family was really happy for the gesture.

    I'm sorry that your aunt passed away and I hope your family is able to find comfort during this difficult time.

    Are orchids in season now in the North East Part of the US?

    If I went to a flower shop could I get a nice potted assortment of orchids this time of year?

    Are orchids in season now in the North East Part of the US?
    Orchids are grown in hot houses to bloom all year round. If you go to a nursery, you can find many lovely plants to buy. Try to buy one that is just starting to bloom. The flowers will last longer. Orchids love east light (morning sun). Keep them well-watered.



    After your orchid blooms, it will resort to it's "natural" bloom time for repeat blooms (since you will not be keeping it under "hot house" conditions). Keep watering, feeding and you will get repeat blooms!!



    Good Luck!!
    Reply:orchids are available basically all year,they are grown both for pot plants and cut blooms.
    Reply:Orchids do not really have a season like gardening flowers do. Some don't bloom for a couple of years or more. The best place to find an orchid in a container is a nursery. Before you buy one, you need to read and study to see if you want to work with one as they need lots of attention.

    You did a good job here, all you need to do is explain it as you did.

    How do I get to level 3 on My sims for the Nintendo DS?
    I appreciate some of this you have already done.



    Once you reach level up to star level 2 here is how to get to star level 3....



    "[2.05] A New Horizon



    New stores have now opened up and the Mayor is going to open a new transport system. Wonderful!



    The Mayor has decided to introduce a Trolley System, it will cost you a small amount of Simoleons to use, but will save you time walking. Also, the Mayor has hired someone to reopen the Bakery. However, she thinks that the Highlands need to be addressed as they do not have the funds to hire a ranger.



    Anyway, lets test the trolley. It only costs §10 a ride. Anyway, head back into town and talk with the baker, who offers you an experimental cake? How can cakes be experiments? Alway, he introduces himself as Chef Charlie. You now have the ability to buy cakes. Cakes can be used as gifts, just like flowers are. This will provide a massive boost to your Star Meter. It is more than half full, which is good news.



    Head to the Highlands and enter the Rangers Hut. Someone obviously isn't happy at you. Marie will greet you as the new ranger the town cannot afford. She obviously doesn't know how to improve the highlands, so you have to figure it out yourself. You need to approach areas where there is little grass, so the dirt patches show. Most of them are near the road.



    You have the option of planting a bed of sunflowers or tulips, build a sculpture or place a garden parasol. There are 5 patches to take care of. There are 18 patches that you can choose from. There are 6 due east of the ranger's hut. There is another set of 6 south west of the lake. The final set of 6 can be found due east of the last patch, or south east of the lake. Customise how you want the Highlands to look, this is your choice.



    Anyway, head to the General Store. Olivia should say she will be absent the next day because she is out of stock. In two days time, pay her a visit and you will see she is missing again. Again, check under the table. She got stuck there looking for something. For saving her, you get §500. I did this on a Tuesday if that helps at all. After you talk to her after her latest disaster, you will have new items to purchase, including a black and white television!



    Ok, one day after you have decorated the Highlands, head back and talk to Marie. She has found a Paraglider, and because it is old, she asks you to fly it and test if it is broken. You have no choice, even if you back out.

    This opens up a new minigame. This will also greatly boost your Star Meter. We are nearly there because it is nearly full.



    Wait for the next day, and talk to Marie again. She complains that no one goes paragliding, and that people might be interested if there was a good paraglider in the area, ie, you. If you choose paragliding now, it will cost you §50 to play. Rather expensive?



    Go to Chef Charlie. You will need to buy some cakes from him. I had to buy about 5 to make him talk to me. He will give you a special offer. Buy more cakes and he will tell you a secret. For you only. He can tell you how the other customers are feeling.



    Now, Chef will tell you something about himself. He says how everyone expects him to be like his Italian chef cousin Gino. But he likes Chinese food, and wishes to mix Chinese food and cake together. Anyway, from now on, if you buy some cakes from him, he will give you some news on his customers.



    Anyway, go play some Racquetball. After you have finished your game, regardless of your score, Tim will talk to you, saying that you would be board of endless rally. He has arranged to play Target 1, whatever that is.

    This will add to your Star Meter, and by now, we are at STAR LEVEL 3. Yes. Finally, we have reached the third star level."

    Florist long island flower shop?
    In Sayville(on Main St.),there's a florist called The Ramblin' Rose. They've been there forever,do nice work and are reasonable. James Cress is very reputable (Smithtown) but very pricey. DO NOT go to Towers Flowers in West Islip. They did my wedding,they were late and the flowers were awful. I went there another time for an Easter bouquet and a couple of the flowers were half dead. My mom used to work for Mayer's Flower Cottage (rt 112 in Patchogue) I haven't dealt with them in a long time but priced them for my brothers wedding and they were one of the most expensive but they've been around for a long time (family run) and have done nice work in the past. Beebe's in Brightwaters has a good reputation.



    Hope this helps

  • Open a flower shop?

    This is just a dream so I don't need the "do your research" lecture. I'm just beginning to ponder the idea. I've read that its less risky than the restaraunt business but I wanted to get some feedback from people who have done this or know those who have. Do owners work crazy hours? What are the negative aspects of such a venture? Thanks!

    Open a flower shop?
    I don't know flower shops specifically.



    Growing up my dad always owned small business. He worked every day, crazy hours, could not be counted on for a time he would get home (but always made the big stuff), and all in all was a very busy dude.

    On the other hand, one of my favorite childhood memories is during the summer every Friday we would leave the store at around noon and go see a movie. I still love movies.

    It has its upsides and downsides.

    Go with your gut.

    What business do you think would be successful in a small town.?

    Let's say you just bought a small storefront -- you have some tourism coming to town to visit the local antique shops, gas up and such, plus your local residents (approximately 3000 of them covering all ages with bulk in 35 to 50 age bracket -- women the larger percentage and most don't wear makeup or want to either. Most of your men are entrepenerial, farmers or work in surrounding towns. There are several parks in your area, a golf course, and library with internet, you also have net access. Older women make up the balance of your population. From your storefront you need to earn enough money to pay the overhead (cost of the building, taxes, insurance, ect..) plus make some money to add to your family budget. Competition with storefronts includes a beauty spa, tanning spa, antique shops, gift shops, flower shop, lumber yard, insurance companies, several quick shops, a couple of pizza places, sit in resturant, small grocery store, and a few banks. What would you open and why?

    What business do you think would be successful in a small town.?
    I don't know if your town is dry, if not consider a bar and grill--consider serving local beers if any. consider having a place for the farmers to come in and talk in the mornings while serving coffee.

    I don't know if your town/county/state allows 8-liners game rooms, if they do consider it.

    It sounds like there is limited entertainment for the local teenagers, consider a game room, maybe even a dance night.

    Farmers are always in need of a good feed/hardware store, consider one that may even draw tourist by offering farming antiques--or a grill in the feed store and a place for farmers to set down and talk.
    Reply:What a tuff question.



    But there are three things that I noticed missing from your list.



    First, with most residents still being in the child rearing range how many kids are there? The next thing I noticed is that from your description there is very little entertainment that would apply across the board. Think about it how many farmers do you know that play golf (I usta' be a farmer...I didn't play golf)? And, parks and libraries only go so far.



    Before I give you my suggestion I am gonna say that this sounds very much like a homework assignment. I am not saying that I won't help...but if I am right...you need to learn it yourself or you will only fail once in the real world.



    Okay, to my suggestion. First determine the amount of tourist that bring the kids with them and then add in the local kids and make a decision if a recreation spot for the kids is viable. Let's face it...kids aren't into antique shopping or golfing. And parents don't like shopping with kids pestering them...and golfing with kids is almost impossible.



    I can't tell you the exact type of entertainment to offer...but, in my day it was an arcade. Perhaps, with a food bar too. It all depends on where the town is and what is acceptable in that town.



    I am too old to tell you what kids like to do these days...my daughter is 25 now and I am sure that it has changed since she just went and hung out as a teen.



    But, I think you get the idea.

  • I had an Idea for a Charity, What do you think?

    Alright, Heres my idea. I want to go to flower shops and collect their scrap flowers to make arrangements for patients in hospitals ( Mental, or Health). I would use paper cups as mini vases, and take them to a children youth group for the kids to paint up pretty. I'd then arrange the flowers in the cups and give them to the long/mid term patients in the hospitals, hopefully on a weekly basis. Any comments on this idea? Overlooks?

    I had an Idea for a Charity, What do you think?
    That is a wonderful idea and wow that y ou thought it up your

    How do I wrap a rose?

    I have a friend in a play and I want to wrap a rose all nice for her. I have a rose, baby's breath, greens and I was going to wrap them in two contrasting colors of tissue paper and one piece of cellophane.Anyone know the steps to wrapping the rose like they do at a flower shop?

    How do I wrap a rose?
    firstly have all the materials you need ( baby's breath, roses etc) ready including an elastic band.

    Make the 'bouquet" in your hand. When it looks lovely use the elastic to secure it.

    Then place in some water and cut all the stems underwater.



    I like to wrap some wet cotton balls or make up remover pads or even wet paper towel around the cut ends to keep it moist.



    Take your paper you are going to use and layer it in the order you want leaving it in the table as you layer.

    The one that goes outside will be first.



    Then take one corner and fold gently to make a large enough opening for the flowers. You'll need to fold it over about 1/2 of the way.

    Holding the corner of the triangle fold it again. This makes a sort of funnel shape.



    Place the flowers inside so the tip of the stems in in the tip of the fold.

    Then tape it closed or use another elastic.



    Tie a ribbon around the bottom part to add some extra beauty



    Give it with love
    Reply:http://www.floristryexpert.co.uk/GiftWra...



    I tried explaining but it was too long winded, so I found the above link for one solution. Or you can wrap them in a cone shape ( with a corner of the paper at the top), cellophane next to the flowers and tissue outside,then tied with a ribbon.

    Where online can I purchase Sterling Silver Roses?

    I've checked all the major online flower shops to no avail: proflowers, 800flowers, ftd, conroys, etc. Does anyone know where I can purchase these beautiful roses?

    Where online can I purchase Sterling Silver Roses?
    If I were you i'd make a different choice. Sterling Sliver has a very low rating from the American Rose Society. (last time i checked it was rated at 4.2 out of a 0 to 10 rating system.) I had nothing but trouble with the one I received as a gift. As a rule most serious Rose growers won't touch a Rose lower then 8.0. Sterling Sliver is at half that rating. Several others that I know of also found it to be a waste of garden space when so many better Roses are out there. I assure you, you will be unhappy with this Rose in your garden.
    Reply:It sounds to me like you mean "cut roses" and not rose bushes? Am I correct?



    Strange as this may sound, some flower shop employees (depending on who you speak to) don't know they're rose varieties. The next time you ask for such roses (if you want cut ones) say, "Do you have any lavender roses in stock? The kind with the strong fragrance?" Then they will definitely know what you are talking about. I can't imagine a florist with a good reputation not being able to get a hold of these roses for you.



    Then again, the actual variety of fragrant, lavender roses florist now use might have changed.



    A potted Sterling Silver for your garden? More popular varieties have taken over the market. These include: Moon Madness, Purple Passion, Melody Parfumee, and Intrigue.



    As an aside, I believe one of the parents of Sterling Silver was the Peace Rose.



    Hope this helps you. Hope you can at least find a substitute for this very unusual and precious rose variety.
    Reply:I bought this flower at Sears in their garden center. It was on clearance for $6.50 about a month ago since the season is about over. It was a Jackson %26amp; Perkins brand rose. The last time I was there, they still had some roses on clearance. Perhaps there will be some left in your area as well. Best of Luck!!! (I hope you meant for the garden).
    Reply:I'm not sure about online, but a good local florist should be able to get them- my wedding florist got them no trouble, she said they were popular.
    Reply:A Yahoo search for "sterling silver roses" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 19,400 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek.

    What should I consider when hiring a call center service?

    My flower shop is experiencing an upsurge. I have now more customers and more profits. I also receive lots of calls. Just recently, I rented another store space. With the ever-expanding business, I am thinking of getting the services of a call center.

    What should I consider when hiring a call center service?
    Congrats for having a brisk business!

    In answer to your question, there are many factors to consider. First is the cost. Be sure that a call center service of your choice is cost-effective. Second is the technical expertise of the call center agents. Other things to consider are the length of time the call center has been in business--- if it has been around 5 years or more, or if it has just been set up recently, etc...

    To read more about this, kindly visit the links I provide below.
    Reply:I use to work at a call center and most of the people that work there smoke pot, drink and by all are very irresponsible and careless about the customers.They would spend most of their day getting off calls very quickly in order to get on "Myspace" and other unrelated to work websites.The client itself is very known worldwide, I will not mention their name. I blame the call center itself for not doing drug testing to any of their employees and not being strict enough with the employees. I believe that you should look out for these kinds of things.

    Any Florists out there with advice?

    I graduated from university this past august, and am already tired of corporate america. I've thought for a while that I would enjoy working in a flower shop, but am not sure how to pursue a job with a florist. By that I mean learning to be one myself, not just ringing up the flowers. My qualifications don't line up at all, yet... (I had a roommate whose mother worked in a florist's shop so I'm not ENTIRELY naive about the demands of wedding season and its brides, or the finger toughness necessary to wire countless roses) -- any tips/suggestions on how to approach so drastic a career change?

    Any Florists out there with advice?
    Before you go to any flower shop for a job, ask your self a few questions. Are you good under stress, Can you work very long hours for no pay, are you willing to work every holiday and what do you really expect from your training, if you don't know what to expect, then what are you goals and dreams for 5 years down the road.

    The Flower business is one of the hardest businesses to be in. Orders come in last minute and everything has to be made last minute. Your dealing with a perishable product and the shop that you work for will probably be turning over it’s complete stock every two to 3 days. You will work late on Friday nights to prep/finish for Saturday wedding, you will work late on Saturday to prep/finish Sundays wedding. On a normal Friday, you will work 9am to 9pm and Saturday 8am to 7pm. If there are wedding(s) during a florist holiday, i.e. Mother’s day or Valentine’s Day you will work until 1am, Owners will work even later. You will be on your feet all day, In busy shops there are no chairs, chairs cut down on the amount of work you can do and how fast you can do it. Time is Money.

    You will work Mother’s day, Thanksgiving Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and some florist work Christmas Day. Don’t ask off any days during those weeks because they will just fire you and hire the next person that will work.

    A normal workweek for employee is 40 hours, but at times of the year 50-60 hours happen. Owner will work 60-70 hours. No Benefits.

    Sorry I do not want to scare you, it’s just the way it is.

    Before you go for your first florist job, you will want to go to a high volume shop that the owners are florist and that are there on a day to day basis. This is how you will get the best training. Most better flower shops are Family owned, the family will train you and treat you like family, especially after you become good, but then they will expect you to show up or stay when someone calls out, just like family. I would stay away from very large florist or florist with absentee owner, they have managers that will not train you well.

    I prefer the applicants that apply to my shop to look presentable, but not so dressed that I feel that you do not want to get dirty, you will get dirty. No long nails, you cannot tie balloons with long nails. Be honest, tell them you want to be a florist and that your willing to work when needed but you need training. Don’t bring a Resume, There is no other job like a florist, so you are just wasting my time to read it, and it maybe held against you if you have had many jobs. Florists are looking for Reliability, That you show up all the time, on time and that you are going to work for them forever. Training if you went to school to be a florist is about $2000. I feel it takes 3 years of working in a florist before your any good. Some florist will train you in exchange for not paying you. I always felt this is the wrong message. Do not work without being paid, you should be paid something even if it is only $7-8 per hour.

    Is there any upside of being a florist? Yes, People share with you the special moment of their life; Births, Birthdays, anniversaries and the pain of losses. Regular customers will ask for and about you by name. You will become part of a larger family in a sense. Everyday it’s different and for the most part happy.


    Does light affect cut flowers?

    I am the accountant in a small flower shop. Does leaving lights on in a cooler affect cut flowers: carnations, alstroemeria, snapdragons, etc.

    Does light affect cut flowers?
    yes, some cut flowers will even open and close with changes in light.
    Reply:No, why do you ask?
    Reply:Some flowers are affected by light, either the flowers will turn toward it, or open and close by it.



    That being said... few are affected that way. Even less so when the light is electrical. Natural sunlight can diminish the longevity of the flower (by the loss of water through the leaves, petals and stem).



    I worked for a garden center/ florist in the metro-Detroit area and we used to always turn off the cooler lights at night. With no adverse affects. (Be sure not to turn off the cooler by mistake, or there will be adverse affects)



    Save on electricity and turn off those lights.



    I hope that this helps

    Good luck-
    Reply:I wouldn't think so as long as it is a low wattage and not hot.
    Reply:Light and temperature can effect cut flowers. As a florist, I have kept many blooms in the dark cooler until time to use them. Roses and tulips are among the most popular blooms and they will both open when exposed to light and warmth. Carnations and chrysanthemums are among the best at lasting in light and warm conditions. Alstroemeria last a long time, as do snaps and coreopsis.

    My backyard.....Girl truth be told, its going to be hard to find it from a flower shop. Your best bet is to find them fresh from a local site that plants them, they live best in muddy waters.
    Reply:The Lotus is my favorite plant, and when my potted ones didn't bloom I looked for some cut ones too. I found none. Unfortunately, they don't last long if picked, so you must get them fresh. If you have any friends with some plants that might be willing to donate some flowers, then that might work. Good luck...
    Reply:Lotus is a water plant; try www.pondplants.com
    Reply:i hate to dissappoint you dear,but you may not be able to find them unless you find a country pond and go pick them yourself.they do not last once picked,so they are not great for arrangements etc... even though they are beautiful.i have a water garden in my yard and have a lotus growing there.i have tried unsucessfully many times to use them in flower arrangements here at home(which i have done for years).congrats on your wedding and good luck on findingt the flowers!

    There was a play/musical written about her growing up called "Do Black Patten Leather Shoes Really Reflect UP?" I suggest your daughter dress in black patten leather shoes, have a Bible, wear anklet socks and a dress. If she can jump rope have her take one and recite a rhyme while skipping. Many kids learned rhythm and rhyme/musical skills while playing such games. She could sing something like "Miss Susie had a steam boat, her steam boat had a bell, Miss Susie when to Heaven her steam boat went to Hello operator give me number nine....
    Reply:Mahalia Jackson is often pictured in choir robes. I think that might be a good prop. A microphone for singing is another good one. Perhaps some sheet music - Go Tell It on the Mountain was one of her most famous recordings. Good luck!
    Reply:All I can say is to look at some pics of her and copy what you see there...
    Reply:Do an image on yahoo or even google. You can get some dressing ideas there.. My mother and grandmother had lot's of her albums when I was a kid. I grew up listening to gospel and jazz.. I always wondered why they never played her type of music in my church(Catholic). I am now a musician and still think she was one of the greats. Not bad for a white kid from NJ..

    What kind of business will be in demand in philippines next yr?

    because my husband %26amp; i are planning to have a business in the philipines, right now, we are running a flower shop here in korea but this year, it's not working well, so we are thinking of other ways to save it, or may be somehow change it.

    Make sure you watch the two short movies and fill out the survey so that someone can get back to you if you have any questions.



    This is the most amazing business opportunity I have ever seen. NO PRODUCTS TO SELL!!
    Reply:Marriage Agency, ever seen how many Filipinos are on mail-order bride websites?
    Reply:I think it will still be anything related to communications and technology like cellphones, internet, computers and digital cameras.



    I have been on a prepaid card business since 1999. I'm doing this for part time only since I have a regular job. I can say that its doing well and I'm earning good enough. Most Filipinos are earning minimal income but they love to be in fad or trend and mobile phones are one of it. You can try a mobile phone outlet that sells and repair mobile phones, and also wholesaling/retailing of prepaid cards.



    If you have that capital try to have a franchise of Jolibee or Mcdonalds fastfoods. I think that would cost you around 25million pesos but the return of investment is very fast and its a sure hit!
    Reply:I know of 1 networking company from USA will have a grand opening in Philippine. Located at Mekati well known area. call 91010906 for more info
    Reply:Food business like being a franchise of Jollibee which is the most popular hamburger in the Philippines, or a franchise of Chowking ( the most popular noodle shop there). There are still many others. These are good businesses because, Filipinos love the food they make. However it is a bit expensive to open such shops . If you plan to open it should be in a very populated area like in Manila so you'll have a very good market (many customers).

    I'm a bartender but I want to either become a hypnotherapist and have my own practice or a florist and have my own flower shop. If you had to choose between the two, would it be a hypnotherapist or a flower shop owner? I appreciate your opinions very much. Thank you.

    Reply:Considering the stress of the job you currently have, I'd choose the florist. As a hypnotherapist, first you have to get people to trust you, then you get to hear their problems just like you already are doing, then you have to pretend that what gory details you just heard don't bother you. When you make floral arrangements, you get the pleasure of creating beauty. It is relaxing and immediate satisfaction from the arrangements made. You get to make people happy. You don't have people avoiding you like they're afraid that you're going to slip and tell one of their secrets. As with any business of working for yourself, you're going to have the stress of coping with the in's and out's. At least as a florist, you can do a test run by getting a job at one and trying it to see if you even like it. Enjoy.

  • I have a flower shop inside a supermarket but i doesnt work well.i dont know what to do. any ideas?

    Without knowing your exact set-up, it's kind of difficult to make suggestions. I know sometimes stores within stores are kind of tucked away in the corner somewhere and people forget they are there.



    My suggestion would be to find something new you can offer, some kind of interesting products or service. Maybe not necessarily something as elaborate as a clever delivery service but clearly you need something like that which would be different from other florists in the area. Maybe even different breeds of flowers that others aren't carrying or special kinds of cards/balloons.



    You might even be able to work something out with the grocers as far as advertising, because better business for you will get more people into their store. Maybe more exposure from signs out front, or if they run commercials start working you in.



    Just throwing out some suggestions. I hope everything works out! :)

    Another flower question?

    Hey, I posted a question about picking out my prom date's corsage an hour or so ago, and as it turns out, I've got another question. I think she would look really cute with a flower in her hair, so I'd like to order one from the flower shop along with the corsage. Do any of you ladies think she'd like this? If so, what type of flower would look the best, and will it matter how she wears her hair? Thanks in advance!

    Another flower question?
    Instead of a flower maybe some pretty jewelry. Or even send a bouquet of flowers to her house the day of and then she will know you are thinking of her all day.
    Reply:I am sure a flower would be great,, but you will really have to ask her in advance because she most likely will go and get her hair done , and they really need the flower beforehand,,,
    Reply:For her to wear a flower in her hair, her hairstyle, dress etc would have to be considered so discuss that with her if you like the hair flower idea. If you are just getting a corsage consider if you want a wrist corsage or one that pins on her dress. Then either go with a flower, color, or fragrance she likes or that compliments her dress.



    All in all if your not gonna ask her what she likes go to a flower shop and pick one that is classic, elegant and simple.

    I want to become a florist, need suggestions/advice on how to?

    My dream has always been to own a flower-shop, however, I've been working in advertising most of my life.



    I would LOVE advice or suggestions from someone who has gone down this path, and any recommendations they have. I was thinking of taking a flower arranging class, thoughts? Anything would be helpful!

    I want to become a florist, need suggestions/advice on how to?
    Your first priority is to pay your wholesalers, pay your rent, pay the wire services, and then pay your self in that order.

    Are you a florist? If your Gross sales are under $300000 (if your sales are above 300K then you have a purchasing/Sell through problem, Different set of problems), fire all your employees after mother’s day, with exception of the Driver. Hire a young happy/bouncy high school girl for after school 3 days a week and pay them $6.00 per hour (or minimum wage if your state has a higher Minimum Wage). Trained Florists can be paid good money, and that will eat at the bottom line. Do the work yourself, Put in the long hours needed. The Happy Bouncy high school girl will, more then likely have lots of friends and she will tell here friends where she works, you will get prom corsage / Boutonniere work out of here, Maybe graduation work. Word of mouth is cheap advertising.

    If you are not a florist, learn… Ask your best designer to show you, every day. Holidays are coming and it’s best to have a second or third hand in the shop.

    Expand your hours. You should be working at a min from 9am to 6:30pm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursdays and Fridays 9am to 7pm (a lot of people get paid on Thursdays). Saturdays 9 to 5 Sundays (yes Sundays) 10-1.

    90% of all advertising done to florist is for gifts, but only 10% of your sales will come form gifts. Stop buying gift items, No Silks either – A silk arrangement is a one-time sale you need repeat sales.

    No Billing %26amp; No checks – Credit cards and Cash only. Certain People you will have to bill, Schools townships, Fire deptments ECT. No Personal billing. You cannot go into a supermarket or burger king and say bill me. People never want to pay after the flowers are delivered.

    If you have billed people and there behind, call them and nicely ask for payment. Remember it’s your money.

    For the people that you have to bill, Send the bill right away, do not what until the end of the month, The quicker you bill the quicker you’ll get paid.

    Buy fewer flowers, Remember to buy only the amount of flowers that you can sell in 2-3 days. More frequent buying will translate into fresher flowers. Fresher flowers will mean repeat customers.

    Limit special orders, Your customer wants a orchid corsage for tomorrow and you don’t have any flowers coming up, Tell them no, If it’s for later in the week or you do have flowers coming up then sure, but if you have to pay $6.50 to $8.00 for shipping of stem of orchids that you got $20.00 for a corsage, You lost money.

    Limit your delivery area and your delivery times; this one is hard without knowing where you are. I keep my driver on form 10 to 2 every day (No Deliveries on Sundays), Later during holidays. Things will come up that I will make some deliveries my self after hours, but I do not make it a rule.

    Get rid of Wire services. If your sales are 300k or under you should really only have one service Teleflora or FTD. You only make 70 cents on the dollar, so if you get lots of incoming, but can’t send the 20 order min per service then it will cost you $10 to $22 per order received, depending on service. Take net $ orders received and divide by fees. See for yourself.

    Be honest with people about what you can and cannot do. If you cannot make an arrangement for them in the next ten minutes, tell them. Or if you do not have enough pink flowers to make an all pink bouquet. Tell them, but also give them suggestions of what you can do. Always let the customers make the final decision.

    Sell what you got, special order only when you have to.

    Control waste. When I went to florist school they would tell us to dump the garbage on the floor at the end of the night, too see what your florist are throwing out and make arrangements out of the good scrap. Never sell Garbage (past there prime or blooms missing petals) flowers and never display garbage flowers.

    Turn on the lights; your place should be so bright that there is no question that you are open.

    Clean the glass, vacuum the floor every night.

    Limit your sales / specials – Constant sales will give your store the perception of low quality.

    Buy seasonal flowers, Don’t get stuck on the names of the flowers unless it’s a wedding, You need pink roses ask your wholesaler for pink roses not livia, pecabo or titanic. You are looking for price, If the product is bad, send it back – But your wholesaler will expect you to take up to a 10% loss if you are buying by the box, If you are complaining about a few roses out of 300 then they will charge you more next time because you don’t know what your doing.

    Remember cheaper flower prices for the customer will in the long run mean more sales for you in the long run.

    Reply:Hi:

    I am a landscaper and designer and have owned my own company. The above two answers are excellent answers. There are two things you must have, passion and knowledge. Each of these two must drive you to work hard and the mindset that your future customers come first.



    There is always room to grow in learning and knowledge. New flowers are being cultivated and grown all the time.



    Classes are a great idea, research other florists in your area, and start small. Try and get creative and come up with your own ideas and something that is unique and different, that could set you apart from other florists. Opening up your own shop, takes a lot of hard work and commitment. Owning your own business takes time to plan - develop - impliment and maintain. There is a great satisfaction when you have pleased your customers or clients.



    Learn has much as you can about all the flowers in your area, as well as using wholesales. Have a overall plan of starting small and see if down the road you want to expand. If you have a passion and some knowledge, set goals and go after your dreams.



    Once you feel you have acquired enough knowledge, think about your shop, and the how to decorate it to be enticing to people. Think about the curb side outside and how you could draw people into your shop. These are just a few suggestions. I will link you to a page on my website that may be of help to you. I believe with passion and some knowledge you could go after your dream of owning your own florist shop. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. There are many articles, tips and techniques that may help you. The best of luck in your endeavor. Have a great day!

  • My storebought Daisies died, I planted them outside will they grow?

    I bought a bouqet of dasies from a flower shop a few weeks ago and they finally died - so I took them outside to my garden and plucked all the heads off and sowed them into the ground because of the seeds in the middle....will they produce daisies again and be a perennial next year?

    My storebought Daisies died, I planted them outside will they grow?
    daisies are annual plants and no they wont grow as when the plants die so do the seeds and in future by plants from a nursery next time they my last the year always look at were you plant them as that has alot to do with the growth rate of the plant signed tru_aussie87 quilified horticulturalised

    Can you find decent sunflowers in stores this time of year?

    I know sunflowers are in season in spring/summer, but I'm wondering if I went to a flower shop this month if there'd be some decent quality sunflowers available. Do they usually have some in stores this time of year or not?

    Can you find decent sunflowers in stores this time of year?
    I have seen some in the Whole Foods florist. They seem to be the sunspot type. Large heads like normal flowers but only get about 12 inches high.


    How do they make the glass look all cracked inside?

    At the flower shop I saw a beautiful glass vase that looked like it was all broken.

    How do they make the glass look all cracked inside?
    The crackle effect is made by dunking the piece in water while it is still hot, ~1300 F, then heating it back up to fuse the cracks back together and relieve stress. Another similar effect is the 'French Crackle' which is done be create a solid colored vessel, gathering clear glass on the outside, then applying a thin layer of opaque powder. The piece is heated until its pretty hot, dunked in water, and then blown out. The inner layer expands the cracks to show the opaque color underneath.
    Reply:they make is shocked, with other colder glass,that surround it.The colder class is colder by only a few degrees!!but colder..
    Reply:Not sure, but I think they cool it real fast causing it to crack. Either that or a real small hammer.


    I have a friends who's finance brought her a dozen roses for Valentine's Day and their already wilted.

    What should she do? Should she call the flower shop to report this? She doesn't want to hurt his feelings by returning them. I told her they would probably replace them, but is there special care to keep them fresh longer?

    I have a friends who's finance brought her a dozen roses for Valentine's Day and their already wilted.
    Make sure that all the foliage has been stripped from the stem so that no leaves are actually in the water. Cut a bit off the stem at an angle then either crush the bottom bit of the stem or snip into it about quarter or an inch. Then place in very hot water for about 2 minutes. Then place in ordinary water with rose feed and that should do the trick. If all fails contact the florist and complain. Good Luck
    Reply:put a asprin or sugar or lemonade in the water should bring them back to life if not then report to the shop
    Reply:if the blooms are droopy- lay them in a tub of water - like your bathtub. this will revive the part of the stem just below the blossom. and cutting the stems under water will help, too.
    Reply:Make sure you use flower food and cut an inch off the bottom of them. Thats what my florist told me to tell my girlfriend.



    :)
    Reply:There are a couple things that may have happened to roses....cold weather may have killed them or maybe the roses went without water too long.

    If her fiance delivered her the roses himself ...he may be to blame....but I would still call flower shop and let them know that the roses died immediately. They may replace them.

    If she gets new roses....keep them wrapped up good to protect them from cold. Take them out of wrapper and use sharp knife and cut about an inch off bottom of stem. Cut at an angle. Put in water/floral mix right away. The greenhouse should have provided a packet of fresh flower soluable mix for water. If not ...add a little 7up (soda) to water. Change water every other day. I always recut my roses at that time. They should last a week or more.

    She and her husband became very paranoid about it, thought she had a stalker and even phoned the police...I didn't fess up, cause I was astounded at the reaction (later she kind of guessed it was me) and I kinda hinted it was me, but didn't have the guts to come right out and say I was the one who sent the flowers.



    My intentions were good, just trying to make her feel better, but the opposite happened
    Reply:Just enjoy the flowers. To know that somebody cared enough to send you some is a real blessing in itself. Was the card addressed to you? Then they were meant for you! Enjoy them!!
    Reply:It was me I'm the secret admirer, Girl your HOT.



    No not me but that's a little strange but if its a secret admirer bet you will find out soon. I pray its not a stalker that could be interesting.



    You should receive a phone call soon hope its who you think it is..



    Have fun good luck!
    Reply:The flower shop cannot provide the name of a customer to a recipient without the authorization of the customer. They're protecting themselves legally but, with that said, if they're reputable, they'll have the file marked for future reference should something odd happen.



    As for who they're from, it's completely possible you do have a secret admirer. It's not cowardly (as one answerer suggested) but it's an old fashioned romantic statement.



    In recommendation for a possible stalker, be aware of your surroundings. If you do have a stalker, you'll soon know.



    In the meantime, enjoy the flowers and don't let your mind get carried away with you!

    If i ordered flowers online, would they be delivered the same way as local shops?
    online flower shops have contacts already with local flower shops. so as if anyone will order online, then they will just wire it to their local shops for delivery. but some online flower shops have their own shops too that's why some page have warnings like "no international delivery".

    I would like to start a rose bush from a rose I got at the flower shop how could I do this?

    Can you start a new plant from the roses you get at the florist?
    yes, cut about six inches at the tip. remove all leaves. soak the lower tip in a root enhancer than trush you forefinger to a pot with garden mix. insert the rose twig to the hole made by finger to a depth of 2 inches. press the coil around the rose twig. water it and cover the whole including the pot with a clear plastic to minimize evaporation. try it
    Reply:Sure you can. You a solution which is called by many names but most stores carry then with the name "cloning solution" or some variant of that. You simply soak the cut end of the flower in the cloning solution for a time which is specified on the bottle. You then simply plant the flower. At least 3-4 inches of the step should be buried in the potting soil and with a little luck your flower will start growing.

    Light Pink: Admiration, sympathy

    White: Innocence, purity, secrecy, friendship, reverence and humility.

    Reply:Okay, I am NOT into the "color" meaning behind roses.



    I really think you are reading too much into this, he probably just wanted to get you some beautiful roses because he thinks you're beautiful...give him some time to reveal his feelings, it takes some people longer than others.



    If he hasn't broke off the relationship and he has you around often, he likes you and wants to be with you.



    Be thankful for your beautiful flowers and just love him.
    Reply:I'd prefer yellow over red... it's more unique and interesting than just getting the same old typical red roses. Maybe he doesn't consider you as the same old typical chick!

    I buy gerberas from the supermarket all the time. They look great for the first 2 days then they begin to die. So they last me about 3-4days. I change the water frequently. I put the "plant food." I cut the stem diagonally and under water. I don't know what else to do. Is it because it’s from a supermarket and not a flower shop? What can I do to increase their life span?

    Yes, you can grow tomatoes in pots. It would be best if you would use a large pot.



    Here is something you might be interested in...buy a bag of vegetable potting soil. Cut the top and fold down, plant your tomato in the bag. Be sure to punch a few holes in the bottom so that water can drain. Don't forget to water your tomato plant.



    You can also do this with potatoes.



    It is a lot of fun.



    Happy gardening to you.

    I live out in a small community that is miles from a big city, any advise for opening a business?

    I live in a small community miles from a major city, there's bars, feed and tack stores, flower shops etc... what kind of advice would you give to open a business in a community that has less than 4,000 people?

    Why not start a business where you can help people save money on the services they use at home every day.

    That is what I did and although my town is a little larger than yours (5,000) I am building an international business through the people in my town.

    If you would like to know more about this business then send me an email so that I can then send you some web sites to look at, as well as go into much more details.

    I see that you are in Texas and if you would like, I can put you in touch with a lady in California who is very successful.
    Reply:Rose Can't email you as you don't allow emails. Report It
    Reply:another important thing you want to make sure of is that its going to be something that people will want every day. make sure that you know people will come in for good business, and something that either the town NEEDS...or something that a lot of the residents would want pretty bad, such as a blended coffee shop if you dont already have one. thats just an example tho...good luck

    How much would a dozen dasies cost?

    Im asking somebody to prom soon, and her favorite flowers are dasies. How much would a dozen of those cost from an average local flower shop?

    Talk to the person at the floral counter at the grocery store, it's usually much cheaper there than a regulary florist, and they can guide you. Good luck and have fun at prom!
    Reply:FREE, if ya know where to snatch 'em.
    Reply:Daisies are not something most florists sell. The sell Gerbera Daisies but those are not the Daisies you see in fields. You might be able to order them online, but I would be surprised if you found them at a florist.

    There are a lot of competition.
    Reply:Relator???? Realtor, as in Real-estate???? First it be wise to learn to spell it, then look in the Yellow Pages under the same, many offer classes to get your license, and there also, specific schools for this, just shop for the cheapest, it very easy. You just need to learn certain things for this work, and pass a Test given by the State Realtor Board/Commission. One thing they actually teach is the Proper Pronouncing of your profession. ;-)

    Talk to people in these areas, so, you know. Realtor, you need a Cell, Business Cards, Yard Signs etc. Company may furnish the sign, but, YOU may have to furnish the Bumper Sticker on it with your name and Cell number, I have worked in this before, it is fun and you can make good money if you organized.

    Most Car dealers offer free training for this field and sometimes pay you a small salary until you get going.

    Both of the above may be a commissioned based work!!!! Learn, think and GO GET'EM GIRL!!!!!!!!!
    Reply:You can get a real estate liscence, in any state, in about 3 months. It involves a course (about $275) and a VERY HARD test (it is possible though, and you can retake it).
    Reply:first you would have to loose all your morels and learn to lie very well. are you a hard worker? if so , you need to forget that, all you need to do is be able to put or hire someone to put a sign in the yard, fill out a simple contract stating you will collect a commission no matter how little help or effort you offered sell or buyer,

    that's pretty much it, oh one other thing leave conscious behind...
    Reply:Its not hard to get into a car sales.Almost every car dealership is always looking for sales people.But of course it depends on your location.As far as a Realtor, if that's what you mean, well that's a different story.You can usually call Realtors and see if they are taking anyone for training.good luck on your search.
