July 4th Flower Ideas

Go ahead and use a red container with blue and white flowers for your July 4th party. Pictured here are succulent rosettes with blue hydrangea and white lisianthus.

Here is a closeup of the "red" echeveria succulent rosette. You can have certain succulents turn red if you refrain from watering them or keep the in a pot that is too small. Over the short term, you won't do much damage to the plant an it creates a neat effect.


Here is a very simple idea for July 4th floral decoration. We took about 15 stems of very open white carnations and did a small hand-tied design and secured the stems with a rubber band. Then, we cut the stems very short in order to fit into the short blue pail. Finally, we placed it on a red napkin to create the final "red, white and blue" floral design for our July 4th party!

Happy July 4th! For more ideas from Flower Duet for your 4th of July celebration, head over to our Pinterest board at: pinterest.com/flowerduetla.

  9. If your artificial creation gets dusty a hair dryer set on cool or no heat makes a fabulous duster for silk plants and arrangements. The hairdryer will drive any loose dust off of most artificial plants. You may want to do this outside to avoid blowing dust around your home.

  12. When choosing a vase, there are no fast and hard rules. A tight, big bunch of the same kind of foliage has a distinctive impact, as they do with flowers.

  13. Pest Control For Moles.

    Trying to get rid of molesusing DIY methods.

    People who are victims of mole damage often go on the hunt for DIY solutions and methods for mole eradications in Manchester Stockport Cheshire The problem with that is although the chemicals are powerful, they are also dangerous, costly and for the most part ineffective. The task of applying the poisons and chemicals is dangerous, and it is often a process of trial and error. In the interim, you are slowly over-poisoning your lawn and this can worsen your mole problem rather than improve it.

    Moles are small mammals that have small beady eyes, rounded bodies and long snouts. They have predominant front claws which enable them to dig through the soil as if they were swimming. These claws make digging and tunneling a breeze for them. They live underground in a system of tunnels that are rarely seen. When moles are spotted on the odd occasion, they are often mistaken for mice. Moles have insatiable appetites and will search for food 24 hours a day, 12 months a year.

    Moles prefer soil that is moist and loamy. When moles are present in your garden, you will notice mounds of soil erupting all over your lawn. These mounds are caused by the dirt the moles push to the surface while digging their tunnels. These mounds settle over time and leave your lawn with bare spots all over it. Conversely, the damage that the moles cause underground is the most problematic. Their excessive tunneling can cause driveways, rockeries and even sidewalks to weaken. Moles do not hibernate during winter and they will never go away without human intervention. Once the moles find a lawn rich in food, they will never leave voluntarily.

    Calling in a professional pest control company.

    Using the services of a professional pest control company such as Manchester Pest Control Manchester is the only effective way of winning the battle against moles. Manchester Pest Controlhas technicians who specialize in the eradication of moles and their services are available in Manchester, Warrington,Stockport, and Cheshire.

To eradicate moles effectively, Pest Control Manchester, will use a combination of the elimination and prevention methods listed below.

    • Habitat Modification: This involves applying an insect pesticide to the lawn.
    • Exclusion: This method involves burying barrier fences 12 – 18 inches beneath the surface around gardens and planting beds.
    • Toxic Baits: A metabolic toxicant “Talpirid” is placed in the main surface runs of the moles.
    • Lethal trapping: These traps are effective when used correctly but not everybody is comfortable using these traps.
    • Live Trapping: These traps are buried deeply in the frequently used surface runs.
    • Smoke Cartridges and Fumigants: This involves placing lethal toxicant in the air of the underground tunnels.

    It is extremely important that you contact Manchester Pest Control Manchester at the first sign of mole activity. This fast response could save you thousands of pounds in repair costs.
