Garden & Landscape - November 2006

I've been given a pot of marguerites (which I think are the daisy family) but can't find anything on the internet about looking after them. Any ideas?
Thanks.

When arriving to the city by air, for example, I notice large patches of "pink" groundcover. I think I was once told that this plant was brought to the region from the Mediterranean. . . . Does anyone know what this plant is called? And even beter how easily available it is to find and plant in a home garden?

Many thanks.

I'd like to grow bulbs like crocus, hyacinths, daffodils, etc. (and perhaps saffron), but will they survive here? What if it's someplace that's 14-18 degrees Celsius on average during the day and receives a lot of rainfall (still in southeast Asia). I'm thinking Cameron Highlands/Janda Baik (Gombak) in Malaysia, since I live here. They did manage to grow tulips in Fraser's Hill (first time it's grown in Asia, they say).

I had 5 seemingly healthy plants growing quite vigorously and producing flowers on almost a daily basis. A couple of notes, I never did see any bees in the flowers. Also, looking at the flowers they all seemed to look identical, like there were all male flowers. Any help would be really appreciated!

I have two ixora plants several years old. They put out nice foliage, but unlike my neighbor's ixora plants, they never bloom. I fertilize them but without success. I've found out they are acid loving. Maybe adding acid will help, but they've grown up in the shadow of a pine tree with all the needles, which I imagine provide acid. What to do?

There were 2 in a little pot, one was a bright green, the other was a darkish sickly color, and when I touched it, it sunk in. So I tried to remove it and the skin came off, the prickly coat just slipped right off, leaving the tube inside. It won't affected the other one will it?

What caused it to get sick anyway?

I live in a 30 yr old sub-division so there are quite a few large trees and across the street from a RR track that has lots of brush. I'm in central Indiana. With those facts can you help me find the best bird seed to attract a variety of birds? I seem to only get sparrows and an occasional Blue Jay or Cardinal. I have tried the reg. mixed seed and also just black oil sunflower--still only sparrows. I love sparrows but would like to attract some colorful birds.

I planted ~10 seeds of green onions in a pot. They sprouted high (~2-3 inches) but remained very thin. As a result, they are not standing up. Why?
