The plant has thick, reddish leaves at the top of the stem and grows vertically with light purple blossoms.
The blossoms are almost bell-shaped, but they grow outwards (not downwards) and have five %26quot;petals%26quot; (not individual), two larger ones facing down, two to the side, and two smaller ones reaching upward. The inside of the blossoms are whitish, and the they grow in rings around the stem. I would estimate that the tallest plants are five or six inches tall.
I hope this is not too confusing! I%26#039;m no pro with flowers. If it helps, they usually grow alongside dandelions in my yard.
Thanks so much for any feedback!
I am trying to identify a certain type of flower/weed--assistance would be appreciated. Can you help?
Is this it:

What do you guys think about this type of flower arrangement colors I plan to send to my gf at work?
I been dating my gf for close to 2 months and Its my first ever pay check from work and I am planning to spend it all on the most important people to me... One of them being my gf. I plan on sending her flowers at work since she knows that I have never gave anyone gifts and It will be my first.... So I have come up with the following arrangements...
6 white roses - showing that I care
5 yellow roses - signifying friendship
1 red rose - love
Purpose is that I want her to know that I care of her and will be there for her; with the friendship and trust that we have, love will surely come.... This kind of summarizes what our relationship is currently like.
I want to write her about the meanings of the colors but I am not sure how to come about it... She is a simple girl and I dont know if I should just explain to her through a poem or directly tell her in writing.
What do you guys think about this arrangement and idea?

um ohmygosh i want a bf who does that
poem is really romantic and cute
ohmygosh MARRY ME
jkjkj you have a gf and she is really lucky i wish u could teach a few things to the guys at my school
Reply:spend your whole first pay check ? i think she would like one rose better.
your idea is good, if you could afford it. you might make her feel bad for spending so much.
and to all the women who are wishing their boyfriend will do this, we dont do it after about the age of 18 because we learn fast that women will not date a guy who does it. they always leave us for the guy that never buys flowers, so we stop buying them so we can get a date.
want a guy to think of you? stop dating losers.
Reply:Yes, your flower arrangement is great = ) Not only is it sweet and creative, but it%26#039;s also very appropriate. Considering the fact that you two are still really fresh into the relationship, it seems right to have more of the white %26amp; yellow roses.
A poem would be nice and sweet. Personally, I%26#039;d like this better, because it shows that you%26#039;ve put in a little more effort. Some girls find poems corny, but when written with the right words, a poem can make most girls feel extremely special. Then again, I am not your girlfriend... Ha, ha, ha!
But, just go for it! It%26#039;s extremely sweet! You%26#039;d be surprised at how many guys DON%26#039;T do these sort of things for their girlfriends! GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Honestly if you put that much time and effort into that she%26#039;ll love it. Guys really don%26#039;t think about things that much. At least ones I%26#039;ve dated. She%26#039;ll really appreciate that you put a lot of thought into it.
Reply:it is ok .... and well known facts ......
if u have her pic, then u can make it animated alongwith ur pic, recording the audio as %26quot; i like u , i care u, and i love u, and i want u in my life for ever ... %26quot;
as soon as she opens this animated file, she listens these words from ur lips and looks at u in the animation ....
u may send it by mail ....
Reply:Call me a wet blanket, but I agree with the person mentioning the amount you spend .. the amount you spend means nothing compared to the thought you have put into this gift. While blowing everything on her is romantic in its extravagance, please let me suggest the following ..
Open a savings account with part of your check and add to it every check thereafter showing you%26#039;re a man who thinks abut the future .. a future that could include your wonderful girlfriend. Buy the flowers, but get them at a grocery or even a walmart/kmart store. You can get 3 bouquets of 18 roses for $9 each or $27 total .. give them to her in person, perhaps during a dinner out and explain to her the meaning of the colours in your own words while looking into her eyes. BELIEVE me she will remember that much more than if you blew a load of cash and had them sent to her work.
Reply:1st thing u need to know what is her favorite colors. If u dunno, then probably you need to play it safe by not getting any flowers that are overwhelming becoz....... it is a work place after all and you do not want her to be totally embarassed.
Light colors roses will be great. Avoid striking colors. Keep it romantic by wrapping with baby wreath.
Keep your words simple in describing your love since you said she is a simple gal. Be direct with the truth and keep it short so she can remember those 1st few words of expressing your love to her.
God bless!
Reply:i think its wonderful idea but you should tell her in a poem if you can she will love it ! and i think she will think you are the sweetest guy ever good luck and happiness to you
Reply:I love it! And just the fact that you put so much thought into it will mean so much to her! You%26#039;re one of the few guys left in the world who would actually take to time to do this kind of thing! She%26#039;s a lucky girl
Reply:SORRY I KNOW YOU SAID GUYS , DOES THAT MEAN A WOMEN CAN%26#039;T ANSWER? LOL. YES SEND THEM JUST THAT WAY, WITH A NOTE SAYING JUST WHAT YOU DID TO US ABOUT THE FLOWERS!!!!! THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!! I KNOW! I WORKED IN A FLOWER SHOP FOR YEARS, NEVER HAD THAT ONE, BUT I THINK YOUR SPECIAL!!!! BEST WISHES!!!!

Giving a flower to a girl or a women is it still effective?
Yes it is Sweetie, a timeless gesture and a well received gift.
Giving a flower to a girl or a women is it still effective?
I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s the gift itself that matters. It%26#039;s the feelings and emotion that comes with the gift that matters. Flowers are still good to give but you could still give a girl a paper bag and if you showed that you love her or whatever, the present wouldn%26#039;t matter.
do what you think would make her feel happy :)
Reply:I think now days only Money is effective for girls and Women
Reply:Yes I wish my bf would give me some flowers =(
Reply:I usually feel that we want flowers because we want to test whether %26#039;a guy does not mind %26#039;wasting%26#039; money on something he knows will wither away soon.. just for us%26#039;.
Flowers are no different than any other gift; clothing or electronics. But the fact that they last mere couple of days is the test; because -for most men- it%26#039;s your money you can%26#039;t bare to see wasted. And it%26#039;s right here that you miss the point. So yes, flowers will always be many -if not all- women%26#039;s favorite.
Reply:Heck yes, it%26#039;s still effective.
Reply:Yes, and No. If you do it because you want to then yes it is very effective still. But if you are doing it cause you did something wrong and you are trying to fix it by giving her flowers i wouldn%26#039;t. It doesn%26#039;t fix what you did and she will prob think that you are trying to buy her off.
Reply:yeah...of course. All girls like me like flowers esp red roses. It depends how u present urself with the flowers and the way u offer them ( like u can say %26quot;lovely roses for lovely lady%26quot; or something like that). But any thing given with love will surely make her happy.acting resources
