On the Discussion Boards

New discussions were added to the boards this week, focusing on proper Gerbera daisy care and calculating percentages based on sales versus cost.

A poster is looking for advice on how to prevent her gerbera daisies from drooping. Although her shop has processed the flower in different ways, gerbera heads usually "curl back in a  cup-like manner." Even her growers can't seem to root out the cause. Can you help her unearth a viable solution to this problem?

Another new post seeks advice on what is considered a "good percentage" of cut flower sales versus costs. She's also interested in a formula for computing blooming and green plants. Do you know the magic mathematical formula that can help her figure it out?

There were also posts on wedding contracts, GPS units and researching new POS systems. Comment on these topics or go ahead and start your own discussion.
