I know poppies can before last frost.Can hollyhocks,sweet williams,or any others be directly sewn now?I am in Wi.%26amp; fragile plants are usually safe by Memorial day from frost warnings.Are there hardy seeds of other flowers,perrenials,biannuals,annuals? My tulips started opening this week,daffodils are ready,dandelion greens are growing but we are going down to 32 tonight %26amp; will again.
What flowers can be direct sown in zone 4?
I gardened in zone 4 for almost 20 years but I was right in the city which made it just a touch milder, I guess, at least for the plants. In my experience you could plant most perennial and biennial seeds within the next week or two.Those take a while to germinate anyway so by the time they sprout you'll be much closer to the last frost. After they've sprouted you might need to protect them if it sounds like it's going to get down into the 20's but if it's just hovering around 30 they'll probably still be OK. When you think about it most of the plants that are hardy here drop seeds which survive even the worst of the winters our region can dish out, which is pretty nasty! My only concern is that where I am it's been a pretty wet "spring" and a bit chilly as well. You want to be sure that seeds, especially annuals, don't have to huddle in the cold dark mud for TOO long. I used to plant most of my annual seeds between the 15th and the end of May, depending on the kind of spring we were having. Even the years I had to wait though, they did fine, grew fast and bloomed profusely. Of course I didn't do anything very picky from seed either, just the tough old stand-bys. Morning glories can go out with the perennials, by the way, and really, so can alyssum, though that will take off no matter when you plant it so there's no real advantage to getting it in early.The annuals I had great luck with from seed include: Cosmos, Zinnia, Marigold, Nasturtium, Candytuft, Alyssum, Morning Glory, Nigella, Sunflower, and Bachelor's Buttons. Perennials include: Lupine, Coneflower, Aster, Daisy, Phlox, Joe-Pye Weed, Heliopsis, Flax, and Mallow. They mostly won't bloom the first year though Lupine often does and the others can surprise you too.
Have fun with your garden, be a little patient (I know, I know, it's hard after this particular WI winter!) and good luck!
Reply:I too am a zone 4 Montana and we just got done with that icky stuff that you are probably getting now my daffodils bloomed in the snow and the freezing rain did not look very good but it warmed up today and they actually looked pretty good. If you are planting from seeds you might want to wait most seeds have different tempatures that they start growing from like pumpkins the ground needs to be 70 degrees for a few days before the seed actually starts growing. But as far as the plants I have hollyhocks and sweet Williams up in the flower bed already from last years plants I also have at least a dozen other plants that are up and growing also the actual plant has a better time surviving these spring temperatures than a seed does.
Reply:Most perennials will be OK like black eyed Susan's, Shasta daisy and others like the blaket flower.
Lupins are ok too.
It is best to wait till after the last frost to plant seedlings.
Remember just because it seems warm does not mean snow is not right around the corner.
Reply:Check the back of the seed pack for sowing times for WI.
I am in Minnesota and will wait a little to direct sow. Especially since it snowed most of today.
Doesn't Mother Nature know it is Spring?
Reply:You can plant anything you want after your last frost date.

Someone wrote this poem - what do you think?
"Death was not lost with them," he said.
And then he said
that their fortunes weren't either.
And everyone said that everyone was that everyone was
And everyone was.
Like broken glass, tripped, stripped, and one pitch higher.
And everyone said that everyone was that everyone was.
And the buzz-boys like,
"Mi me ma mo mu
Have a dime in the falling dew"
"Death," he said again,
And then he drifted, again.
And I walked down into
Alabaster alleyways and into the simply to have.
Beatbox in subway tops and out of the out of the air.
And the buzz-boys like,
"Mi me ma mo mu
Have a dime in the falling dew."
Like hollyhocks and business clacks are all in the same business together man you know like we're all traveling down these corridors and we're all eating the same dead horse, and big man bureaucrats are like breathing down our faces and the rhythm of the rhythm is what you feel in your chest when you lie awake at night and when you lie awake in the light, and when I hear you sigh you hear them cry and that is what we got, man.
And the girl with the broken glass screamed.
And the buzz-boys like,
"Mi me ma mo mu
Have a dime in the falling dew
Have a time in the falling dew
Have a time

A brief garden poem. Do you like it?
Hollyhocks
The tall, disdainful hollyhocks
parade their looks in silken socks
and limited-edition Versace frocks.
They thrust their hips in arrogant dance
beside the battered fence.
Beneath their feet, small and neat
Sweet Williams flutter with delight
Courtiers to these catwalk queens.
They stare open-mouthed
at each blatant scene.
Outrageous, flaunted beauty
paraded for all to see.
No shy approach, no modesty.
I cannot stand this ‘in-your-face’
For me, demure is no disgrace.
So, I know, I’d choose Sweet William
to keep company with me.

Ah, Jessica P, what shall we do with her. I found this a lovely, lovely image of a garden romance, and also of a woman's heart. It does not matter what she is on the outside, tall, beautiful, renowned and in the eye of the world, in the end, I do believe that she would rather keep company with Sweet William as well as you. I begin to think that the hollyhocks are rather pretentious flowers, and I love the way your poetry combines elements of both earth and air. One giving meaning to the other, and the other translating into the one. Simply astounding.
Reply:its okay..some of the rhymes sounded slightly forced...just personally i dislike the amount of superflous words that were there to rhyme and keep the rhythm going...i think that it was a bit melodramatic as well..
Reply:Oh, I love this Granny Jill!
Two of my favorite flowers of all time, portrayed beautifully in this poem....what's not to like?!
Bayard Lady: I am very impressed! I can't even put my shoes on the right feet before coffee and you wrote a wonderful poem!
Reply:Yes, I like it!
My Silver Lace won't stay in place
apparently they choose a race
to see who'll occupy the space.
Curling, whirling twisted stems
ofttimes they'll touch your hem!
Note: All this before coffee!
Reply:Wow. I'm no poetry critic (although I do have a master's degree in English), but I LOVED it. I really did.
Reply:I'd prefer "coyness" instead of "shy approach".
I love the figurative languages being used. It makes the poem very vivid, visible.
Reply:If you are going to give us a lecture of garden plants then at least be kind enough to include a plant dictionary! lol Another delightful offering. Don't be hard on Sweet William when you snip him!
Reply:It's okay GJ, I think your poem is lovely! I have seen such talent in you and admire you greatly. You and Amy and Robert, Bayard Lady and several others that I know of but can't recall their names have inspired me very much here. I do enjoy your poetry and that's not just for the 10 points. I honestly do enjoy you. You don't even have to pick me. In fact, don't. Choose someone else, I just wanted to give you a complement.

Pie chart question?
Suppose a garden plot contains 5 zinnias, 10 irises, 11 marigolds, 15 hollyhocks, and 23 lilies. If you
were to make a pie chart of the flowers in the plot, What would be the central angle for each?
(Example, 38 degrees-Hollyhocks, 76 degrees-Lilies and so on..)
Pie chart question?
The total number of flowers is
5 + 10 + 11 + 15 + 23 = 64
The angle at the centre which represents 1 flower is 360/64 =
5.625 degrees.
I hope you can take it from there...

Paragraph:
I believe that the pansies' height growth will be stunted the most after being exposed to one minute of cigarette smoke, followed by marigolds, and lastly followed by hollyhocks. In order to form my hypothesis, I researched pansies, marigolds, and hollyhocks. Source one stated that pansies are only hardy up to zone six. This causes me to believe that, of the three types of plants I am testing, pansies are tyhe least hardy. Source two stated that marigolds are hardy. This is why I believe that the marigolds' height growth will not be stunted as much as the pansies' height growth. Souce three stated that hollyhocks are hardy in our hardiness zone, zone eight. This tells me that the hollyhocks will be harmed the least.

Normal distirubtion question help agaiiinnn?
ne help with steps on how to do these ques wud b much appreciated :) thnnnnx
1) a variety of hollyhock grows to great heights. assuming a normal distribution of heights , find the mean and standard deviation, given that the 30th and 70th percentiles are 1.83m and 2.31 m respectively. (answer=2.07m, 0.458m)
2) the lengths of time spent each night by ulrika in watching tv are observations from a normal distribution, with a mean of 190 minutes and a standard deviation of 27 minutes. Determine to the nearest minute, the length of time spent watching which Ulrika only exceeds on one night in 200 on average. (answer=260min)

1. we know that P(Z %26lt; z1=(1.83 - μ)/σ) = 0.3
while P(Z %26lt; z2=(2.31 - μ)/σ) = 0.7
and by the way... 0.3 %26amp; 0.7 are of the same distance from the mean... thus the mean is the average of 1.83 %26amp; 2.31 which is 2.07 = μ
then P(Z %26lt; z1=(1.83 - 2.07)/σ) = 0.3
z1 = -0.524 = (1.83 - 2.07)/σ
{using a table or a calculator...}
σ = -0.24/(-0.524) = 0.458

2. we are looking for x1 such that
z1 = (x1 - 190)/27
such that P(Z %26lt; z1) = 199/200 = 0.995
z1 = 2.58
x1 = 190 + 27*2.58 = 260
Reply:1) P( x %26lt; 1.83) =0.30

PLEASE HELP!

She is most famous for her flower paintings but which one depends on the person. My personal choice is Red Gladiola in White Vase.
Reply:The one of the flower that looks like a vagina.
Reply:The flower painting, you know the one with the flower. "Oriental Poppies"
Reply:You have to decide what your criteria would be for an exact answer, a scientific survey to ask a representative sample of people which ones they had seen, or you could analyse all the print and posters sales from all the companies to find out which one sells the most...............?
Here's one company for example which has 'From the Lake No 1' in its most popular list:

But if you have to choose one it might be sensible to pick the one that was on the US postage stamp 'Red Poppy':
