I want to plant a bulb garden this fall. Where is the best place to buy flower bulbs?
tulips, crocus, narcissus and daffodils, anemone, hyacinth, lily and iris
These documents are available at any garden store – Home Depot, Lowes, etc, or you can buy online from places like Michigan Bulb Company. If you know someone who has a beautiful garden, maybe you can give some light bulbs as they need to be recessed from time to time. My mom grows red and yellow tulips KILLER and she gave me a basket of bulbs. I can wait until spring to see how they look!

I read online that Celosia (cockscomb) leaves are edible. Is this any kind of cockscomb or only some of them?
I saw that have the that grow tall and 4 feet in size or larger dish … I referred to "red head" and "yellow head" smaller before.
Items under bear reading. I would suggest that research cultivars particular (Google "food (variety name)". Celosia argentea var. argentea or Lagos spinach (also known as grass, quail, Soko, Celosia, crest of feathers) is an annual broadleaf vegetable leaf family amaranth (Amaranthaceae). It grows widely in northern South America, tropical Africa, West Indies, South, East and Southeast Asia, where it is grown as a wildflower native or naturalized, and cultivated as a nutritious green leafy vegetable. En.wikipedia.org / wiki / Celosia EDIBLE PARTS: Leaves. Leaves and young shoots – Cooked [177, 178, 179]. Used as a vegetable [272]. Www.pfaf.org / database / plants.php? Celosia argentea +. Flowers are often brightly colored, and green foliage can contain large amounts of anthocyanin pigments. The leaves, stem, young people and the flowers are eaten as a pot herb. Much of the pigment is lost in the kitchen, but the leaves maintain a nice green color. Three cultivars were evaluated during the spring 1997 season. Celosia Argentia CV. U.S. produces the highest performance and productivity (Table 1). Argentia C. Cv. India and Argentia C. cv. Quailgrass have similar performance of edible leaves. All cultivars resistant to pests and diseases. Celosia seems be a good alternative to the plants of local amaranth leaves are very susceptible to many insect pests. www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/proceedings1999/v4-388.html

Meaning of the leaves of Plumeria?
What does each license of the Hawaiian flower, Plumeria say? I know that one of them is the serenity, but What are the others?
I know that in popular belief the Plumeria is believed to provide shelter to ghosts and demons and the smell has associated with vampires in Pontianak, also associated with Hindu and Buddhist culture. In Bangladeshi culture most white flowers, especially Plumeria is associated with funerals and death. Sorry if this does not answer your question, I tried and I helped a little.

I dyed a gold Hemerocallis Stella De?
damages the plant's color dye? and How can I dye it? and if he dies it is as red is only going to be orange and yellow because of the flower, or cover up the yellow?
No one can be stained DAYLILY growth. If you mean to use coloring or a dye to change the color of cut flower can become red if used enough, but will likely be orange. You can get a red D'Oro. There are red, purple and orange ones. I have tried another flower Overall, lilies, because they only last one day, and near night. The margaritas are a good attempt, or Asiatic lilies, if that's the look you want, but they also come in red.
