I have just bought a physalis alkekengi (Chinese lantern). I have heard that it can be grown indoors as a houseplant. Is this true? I live in Vancouver, Canada. I can't seem to find much info on indoor growing on the net. If it is possible to grow it indoors, I would appreciate any information I can get. It is so beautiful--I don't want to kill it!

Hi there! I just got a shamrock plant and did some reading up on it. Apparently, there is a dormant season when the leaves yellow. You're supposed to stop watering and leave it in a cool dry place for a couple of months. I read that the dormant season is in winter--is this true? Or can it happen anytime? Does anyone have any more info about this adorable little plant? Thanks very much!

Hello, folks--me again!! I got my hibiscus about a month ago. One bloom was open when I bought it. There are several buds on it--3 have fallen off. There is one bloom which looks as if it is about to bloom very soon, but it's been quite awhile, and it hasn't opened yet--is there something I should be doing? By the way, my plant has dark, shiny green leaves.

I have a two year-old red-tipped jade plant. It has never flowered. I was wondering if anyone out there has a few helpful hints as to how I can help bring this about. Thanks, folks!

I just bought a hibiscus--I learned that they need sun, but all I really have is a south-facing window. I am sure that is okay during the winter months, but in the summer, could I put it under lights? Or can I skip the natural sun, and keep it under artificial lights all year round?

I know this is a silly question, and sometimes in posting a certain question, it is difficult to find the exact category. However, when people post beauty advice questions in the Royalty category, and other stupid things, this drives me crazy! Now, let's see if I post this one appropriately!!

For those of you who are not Canadian, can you tell us something about your perceptions of this country?

This morning, my 9 month old cat through up. At first, I thought he had eaten too much. He wouldn't eat for awhile, even though he kept going to his dish. Then, after awhile, he started eating and drinking. What is concerning me is this behaviour: he was sitting looking outside, and he saw a bug or something. He was reaching for it, and while he was doing so, his jaws started clacking together. Is this normal? It seemed like he had no control over it. Don't worry, I have made an appointment for the vet this afternoon, but I wanted to see if anyone out there has an idea about this.

Does anyone else feel that way? I come across some really bad questions, and my only option is whether to star them or not. I would like be able to rate questions just like we rate answers again. Who's with me on this one?

There has been speculation for centuries. Most historians believe that Richard the Third had his young nephews murdered. Not long after, a young man claiming to be Richard Plantagenet came on the scene. History says he was actually Perkin Warbeck--an imposter. What do you think?

Has Big Show retired permanently, or will he come back one day?

Do you think DX will be a team again after Triple H gets back from his injury? When is he due to return?

If you were GM of Raw, Smackdown, and ECW, and you could pick one match between anyone in those forums, who would your two wrestlers be?

I have a bad reaction to codeine. Tell me your story!

Sorry, guys. New Year's Eve, and I'm feeling a little naughty tonight!!

I've asked this question before, but I was so intrigued by some of the answers, I hope to see more interesesting answers if I re-post it. If you could meet anyone in history or the present, living or dead, who would it be, and what would you talk about?

Humour me, guys. I just got off the phone with my ex, and we had a nasty argument. I need to scream somewhere. Might as well scream out in cyberspace. My ex is a f%$^&n, c*o*c*k sucking p*r*i*c*k. Now, who out there hates their ex???
