The pink flowers are found in the Kew's Waterlily house creeping round the railings around the edge of the Pond.
I want to know the species/latin name of the plant.
See http://www.lindenparker.com/stuff/pinkfl... for a photo of the flowers.
Thanks.

How do I kill creeping bentgrass?
My lawn is starting to get over-run by creeping bentgrass which is immune to Roundup and any other weed killer I know of. The bentgrass looks ok during the growing season but turns completely brown in the winter months. I just have large patches of it so far so I would like not to plow up the whole yard and start over. And even that probably would not get rid of the bentgrass.
How do I kill creeping bentgrass?
One question...
Are you sure it is creeping bentgrass?
From your description, it sounds like a Zoysia grass.
Zoyzia grass exhibits the browning in the cooler months and loves summer months.
Either way, you have a problem.
Their is not an y easy way to selectively kill bentgrass or zoysia grass.
Non Selective controls like Round-up are the only way to go. It will also kill anyother grasses in there too.
Some advice (Dont worry,I'm a professional %26amp; have done this successfully):
Non selective weed control products dont work very well when the target plant isn't actively growing. If you have are spraying, you need to make sure it is in the active growing season.
Make Sure you are using a good concentrated Round up you can mix yourself (at the proper rates) instead of a ready mix trigger bottle.
For either type of invading unwanted grass, I have sprayed 2-3 times to make sure to kill it all. After 1 week, I respray, and maybe 1 more time depending. This is important, because if you leave just a bit of a root or rhyzome in the soil, it regrows back.
After 2-3 times spraying , it is best to spade it out if it is a small area. If not, you may cut it low(the dead grass) and seed into it with an overseeder, or rent a sod cutter after a week of you last spray job.
Make sure you properly seed your lawn afterword.
Some seeding tips here
http://doyourownlawncare.wordpress.com/2...
You must be diligent with these creeping grasses.
After seeding and you have grass, keep an eye out for any invaders while mowing next year. If you see a small cup size spot appear, just give it a tiny shot of ROund-up (one of the only times I recommend spraying round up in a lawn). If sprayed while it is 3 inches in diameter, youll never notice the tiny dead spot and you will be on top of any new invaders for years to come.
Hope it helps...
Reply:tear out all of the grass u dont want and take something to dig a hole. dig a hole and put seeds in there. do the rest wit d other part of da lawn. i did dis before.
Reply:Use Roundup more than once as the previous answer states. Squirt some dishwashing liquid in your sprayer with the Roundup and it will work better.

What is a "dead creeping charlie"?
...and I'm assuming it's not the plant!
On the album, Small Change, the following is written: "For the lyrics to "Step Right Up" send by prepaid mail a photo of yourself, two dead creeping charlies, and a self addressed stamped envelope to: the Tropicana Motor Hotel, Hollywood, California c/o Young Tom Waits".
What exactly does this mean?
What is a "dead creeping charlie"?
The statement is a goof from the company. I don't know what a creeping Charlie is but why would they need your photo to send you song lyrics? The name Young Tom Waits is also a goof. It really means a young man named Tom waits for you at the motel (Motor Hotel). It's a joke. Don't take it seriously.
Reply:Is it a charlie that is dead and creeps?
Reply:its an ivy that grows in northern US that is a M.F.er' to kill.

My friend is kinda creeping me out...help me please!?
Ok, so I have this guy friend and he is like the best guy friend I've ever had. The problem is that I think he's beginning to get a bit more interested in me than I feel comfortable with. He's a great friend, but he is just really not the type that I'd ever go out with or ever have a crush on. And he's been kinda like complimenting me lately. So what do I do if it does turn out that he likes me like that? And how do I say that I don't like him back to him without making him feel like..you know...embarrassed, rejected, etc.? I REALLY don't want to hurt his feelings and I also don't want things to be come awkward. And it's just creeping me out that he might have a crush on me! Please help...
My friend is kinda creeping me out...help me please!?
Hi,
You need to talk with him, in my opionion tell him that you don't want to hurt him or to lose what you both had gained as friends, but tell him that he's not the kind of person for you, tell him that you prefers to be your best friend but no more than that... he will hurt anyway but at least he will know and hopefully the things will become better for both.
It's hard but you must talk with him as soon as possible before he gets in love
I wish you luck!

Reply:I'm not 100% sure if this works, but find a chance to tell will what a great friend he is. Don't make it too obvious; wait for a genuine moment to say it, where it would fit. Hopefully, this will make him realize that you aren't interested. Also, this will probably hurt his feelings the least. But you have to wait for the right moment and it has to sound genuine and right. Hope this helps~
Reply:omg i soo know what you mean! if its a best frined i guess let him like you but let him know you see him as a brother or something..thats what i say when i dont like my friends but they like me!
if hes just a friend id stop spenning soo much time with him cause he sees it as your leading him on and he will fall harder and harder!
its hard and its gunna break your heart to drift away but it hurts them more to have you so close yet they can never be with you!
Reply:like send him signs, like when he compliments you be like oh um, thanks....and change the sub. or just change the sub. all together
help with my prob.

Reply:Talk to him about how feel.And be firm.
Reply:Well since you guys are like best friends, why not ask him who he likes? If he says you tell first then tell him some other guy and he would get the clue.
Reply:just tell him u wanna be friends and show him by hookin up with sum1 else.
Reply:So this exact thing happened to me.
When he told me he liked me, I guess I kind of took it in a strange way. We stopped talking for a while [like a few weeks... not too bad], but that was only because he was being ridiculous. Anyways! lol We're as close as ever and its not too awkward... Just see what happens. Don't worry too much.
Good luck!
Reply:just tell him what you told us....you like him as a friend and nothing more...draw the line and be firm.
Reply:just tell him that you dont want to go out with him, im a guy and im not sure how he or anyone else would respond, but personally if one of my friends gently told me that they dont like me i wouldnt take it too personally, id probably just mope around for a few days, but id get over it sooner or later
Reply:Go along with it just dont let him get to close.

How long after your child started creeping did he or she begin to crawl?
My daughter is 9 months old and has been creeping for about a week and a half. By creeping, I mean moving around by using her arms and legs but keeping her belly flat against the floor. I wonder if she will ever crawl. She doesn't seem interested in doing so.
How long after your child started creeping did he or she begin to crawl?
Some babies do the ''wounded solider'' move lol...I know a couple of babies that do/did that and usually the ones that do that go straight to walking.
Reply:my son went from creeping to walking. he started creeping at 91/2 months and started walking at 12 months. your daughter may never crawl, not all babies do and it's very normal.
Reply:My little guy never did creep... and he wasn't interested in crawling (much more interested in trying to stand and walk at first) until he realized that it was the most efficient way to chase the cat! I absolutely credit her for 'teaching' him to crawl!
I'll bet the creeping is cute... enjoy! But if you really want her to crawl, try demonstrating for her - try to get her to chase you or go after her favorite toy. Have fun!
Reply:My 9 month old is crawling, she started sitting alone for about a month when she was 7 months old, it did take a while for her to actually go somewhere. Every baby is different, don't get discouraged.
