Make sure you remove the complete corms with all smaller cormels surrounding it. Shake off the loose soil and cut the stems from the corms.  Break apart the old dried corms off of the new corms and remove loose husks. Leave wrapper husks attached during storage. The new corms are called cormels. Cormels will not produce flowers the first year they are planted, but will grow into larger corms for future year's flowers. Dust them with the same insecticide you used to protect the plants and keep them in a dark, cool, well-ventilated area where they will not freeze.

It is quite expensive to paint a whole car, and usually not worth it for an everyday driver. Most whole body paint jobs are the result of some kind of special customization or restore. With this in mind, you want to know a little bit about the car you intend to paint and make sure that you choose a color scheme that suits your car. often this means sticking with a vintage color ― something that might have been on the car when it was new. Other times, it means a color scheme that brings out the best features of the car, even if that color scheme was never an original from the manufacturer. An example of a paint job that isn’t likely to flow would be restoring a ‘69 Chevelle, having a supercharger sticking up out of the hood, and painting it pink with purple polka dots. The great thing about restoring or customizing a car is the opportunity to truly have whatever you want. The end result should be something you are proud of, so naturally it has to be something that you like. Envision exactly what you want your car to look like. Whether you know what you want or not, an open dialogue with the painter is never a bad idea. They can help steer you toward the paints that will give you the look your heart desires. A professional artist/painter can also help to expand on your ideas if you get stuck at any point.

Flirtation often comes down to the right body language. If you want to send your guy friend the signal you want a relationship, work on flirting with your body when the two of you are together. If he is attracted to you as well, this can help romantic feeling develop.  Tilt your body towards him when you're having lunch together, watching a movie, or other times when you hang out. Look him directly in the eye, bat your eyelashes and smile! It may sound strange, but this is a form of flirtation that gets attention! Try to position your body the way his is when you're sitting together. Place your hands and feet in the same position as his hands and feet. If you're having coffee, take a sip when he does.  Pick up some his expressions. If he has a tendency to say, "Wow, that's interesting," for example, use this phrase on occasion. Don't make it too obvious. He may think you're making fun of him! Imitate his gestures on occasion, but don't copy every single thing he does. Being attractive certainly helps someone notice you in a more than friends sense. When hanging out with him, dress your best. Wear your most flattering clothes and, if you wear makeup, throw some on. Looking stunning can definitely help attract someone's romantic attention. Wear clothing that makes you feel good about yourself and that you feel comfortable in. You don't have to try to look like anyone but yourself. If you lack self confidence, you're less likely to come off as attractive to other people. Having a strong sense of who you are will help your guy friend notice you. Do not simply agree with what he sees and smile and nod. Show off who you are while flirting!  Think about how you see yourself as a person. Do you see yourself as smart, funny, spontaneous, serious, studious? However you see yourself, work on showing off that side for him. For example, if you're a movie buff, don't hesitate to share your knowledge while the two of you hang out and watch movies.
