I live in southern Idaho .I already planted some bulbs in one dog’s grave ,/ They have not or did not come up so I’m a little worried about them. They are in Scruffy’s grave for those of you from Pets-Dogs) and now I’m looking for plants/flowers that will come back year after year. They will be both Scruffy’ss and Liberty’s memorials. It’s get below freezing in the winter here so we have to fact that in this.

Does anyone have any great ideas of what I can plant in their memorials that will come back year after year and get bigger too? One idea I’m playing is rose bushes. Does anyone know of plants that have beautiful flowers to remind me of them at their graveside?I’m open to suggestions.Can anyone please help me out here?

Thank You for all the suggestions with this!

Violas will come back every year and so will Gerbera daisies. Both a fave of mine!

I need to know the following: Is it ok to give a boy flowers, and under what circumstances? Is it ok to give flowers to someone who is in a play/ musical even if they are only a company member? What types of flowers should be avoided for certain circumstances? and any other random flower giving tips.

You can give a boy flowers anytime, but typically they are given as a boutonniere (pin on) for formal/special occasions, for funerals, or as a get well gift. It is ok to give flowers to anyone in the cast/crew. If the person isn’t one of the more prominent members of the company, I would wait until they are off stage at the end of the production.

Here is a link with descriptions of what different flower colors symbolize:

In general, red is for love and yellow is for friendship.

Poppies might remind people of war as they are commonly used in war memorials and peace demonstrations.
