They told me that I should change this paragraph.I edited it and checked grammar.Is it good?
Anything I should change??? I couldn't write the 2 compared paragraphs. I beg you go to the link. I really need to know how good it is.
From this paragraph:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...
To this one: The next Morning, everyone was wordlessly having breakfast in the jade, glamorous garden before the house except for David who was sleeping on the couch in the living room. He spent a long night in front of the TV, watching the news till two o’clock in the morning. A triple tier stone fountain was in the middle of the sunny, daylily garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees which leaned their slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table below them. Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes which reminded her of her mother’s delightful ones which Angela, when she was young, often begged for.
SO?
They told me that I should change this paragraph.I edited it and checked grammar.Is it good?
I wrote this over for you.
Please be informed that I passed English with 99%.
The next morning, everyone was having breakfast in the jade, a glamorous garden next to the house, excepted for David who was sleeping on the couch in the livingroom.
He stood up late watching TV News until 2:00 AM... A Triple tier stone was in the middle of the resplendent garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees.
Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancake, which reminded her of her mother's delightful ones...
Correction. The word "Morning" shouldn't have been capitalized.
Correction: Any sentence that can be broken down and still maintains a solid communication is considered incorrect. For example: wordlessly doesn't make sense.
Keep on eye on my correction and learn from it.
Bye for now.

A triple tier stone founstain sat in the middle of the sunny, daylilly garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees with their slight shadows draping the simple, beige breakfast table down below.
Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes which reminded her of her mother's delightful ones that she so often begged for as a child.
Gotta watch those commas and try to not end sentences with either THEM or IT
Dangling...

Those where the only things I caught. But I do think that you are using too much description and way too much alliteration. Other than that, it's really great!!
God Bless!
Reply:I like the imagery, but think it needs a little reworking. How 'bout this:
The next morning all were happy but quiet as they ate breakfast in the pretty, jade garden in front of the house. (All, except David, who still slept on the living room sofa.) Angela peered into the water of the garden's, stone fountain, shining like diamonds, bounced from layer to layer. Thirstily, her eyes swept across the sun-drenched, daylily garden; beautifully framed within a kaleidescope of ornamental trees. With lazy movement, faint shadows drifted back and forth across the beige table before them. Without noticing she fixed her eyes upon the honey pancakes before them and was transported to her mother's own table, which held her own plump and sumptuous pancakes that delighted her so as a child that she plead and begged for more.
Reply:It's obviously very descriptive....It's good. In writing though, (if you're worried about grammar) I would use until instead of till. Also, morning does not need to be capitalized.
Reply:Morning shouldn't be capitalized. It's pretty good, but it sounds a little too...extravagant. Remove some of the adjectives. You shouldn't use so many if you are talking about something so simple as a pancake breakfast in the garden. What should have been a couple of sentences, you turned into a whole paragraph. Other than that, it's pretty good! :)
Reply:The next morning, everyone in the family, including Angela was served her favorite breakfast of honey pancakes. As a child she would beg her mother for them.
In the mean time David laid on the couch in the living room still sleeping from his late night of watching TV.
Sounds could be heard as the water trickled down the triple tier stone fountain. All of which was surrounded by gorgeous flower garden of day lilies abundant with bright colors. In the background were various ornamental trees blowing gracefully in the summer wind. The sun was beginning to glow through the branches and mark the simple beige breakfast table below with their soft shadows.
Reply:The next morning everyone except David was quietly having breakfast in the garden, because David had watched the news on tv until 2am and was still asleep there on the couch.
{ then here describe the garden. }
Angela looked at the honey pancakes which it reminded her of when she was young and begged her mother to make her delightful pancakes.
Reply:"Morning" (first sentence) shouldn't be capitalized.
Reply:1. The next Morning, everyone except for David, was silently having breakfast in the jade, glamorous garden (near?) the house.
before and wordlessly make it awkward to read.
2. David, however, was sleeping on the couch in the living room because had spent a long night in front of the TV, watching the news UNTIL two o’clock in the morning.
3. "A triple tier stone fountain was in the middle of the sunny, daylily garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees, which leaned their slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table below them."
This is out of place. You go from talking about david then back to the outsside. It's confusing and needs to be rearanged with a lead in sentence. Maybe something like Everyone else was busy looking at the... or something of that nature. Or maybe Back in the garden there was...
4. Is this the first time you introduce Angela? if not don't worry if it is Angela need a description.
Reply:I am just here to read all your responses that you have received from these people. I just wanted to see how well they know English. Gayle tried her best, but she failed to use proper punctuations.

Daylilies come in a wide rage of colors today with more added every year. From an almost white to a deep, dark plum.
Plants range in size with scapes reaching upto 5 ft and dwarfs under 1 ft tall.

What indiana invasive has been widely used for soil stabilization?
I live in Ky. and they use crown vetch. Purple loosestrife is invasive in wetland areas and garlic mustard is taken over our woodlands. The dayliliy isn't really considered invasive but is a exotic garden escape and is a naturalized wildflower.

When do day lilies start blooming?
Daylilies start to flower in early summer and continue into autumn.
Reply:After planting? I would say at least a year is needed so that the plant can become established. And I would say by the second year you should be getting a pretty good supply of blooms from the plant.
Reply:well usually later. Mine (in Alabama) have just come out of the ground. It will take a few more months for them to start blooming. They usually like hot weather

I just spent the whole night on this paragraph and need help to know if it was good? Can you help me?
Next Morning, everyone was wordlessly having breakfast in the jade, glamorous garden before the house except for David who was sleeping on the couch in the living room after his long night in front of the TV, watching the news till 2’O clock in the morning. A triple tier stone fountain was in the middle of the sunny, daylily garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees which leaned its slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table below it. Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes which reminded her of her mother’s delightful ones for which Angela, when she was young, begged her mother to make them on every meal.
I dunno if the last line is good enough too. I just wrote it before I ask the question. Is it too long? I need something about Angela's mother so I could open the next paragraph. When I wrote the line and stopped at "delieghtful ones", I thought it was to short.
What do you think of the whole thing???
I just spent the whole night on this paragraph and need help to know if it was good? Can you help me?
well. to be honest it looks like you put a lot of effort into it but I do see some things that you can still work on.. I really don't mean to be offensive by this. You use a lot of description in your work which makes it a bit too wordy but interesting nonetheless, also your sentences are quite long (you might want to review the punctuation). You should start your first sentence with "The" infront of the word "next".. seems to make more sense. Anyway, overall I think its good. Keep up the good work.
Reply:I think it's pretty good. good imagry, but your sentences feel like they're too long, and you need a little work on the overall grammar and structure of the paragraph. for example: "It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees which leaned its slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table" doesn't make sense, it should say..." which leaned their slight shadows," since you're talking about ornamental trees. if it's the fountain you're talking about casting the shadows, then u need to reword the sentence. the last sentence also needs work. not that it's not good, but instead of it reading: "which Angela, when she was young, begged her mother to make them on every meal." (this doesn't sound right) it should probably read: her mother's delightful ones which Angela, when she was young, often begged for" or: " her mother's delightful ones. When she was young, she begged her mother to make them for every meal" also, i think you shouldn't use numerals like "2" in 2 o'clock. rather, spell it out. "two o'clock."
Reply:"...when she was young, begged her mother to make them on every meal."
You need to re-word the last line. It should sound something like "...Begged her mother to make them at every meal."
And also, you need to write out "2 o' clock" correctly.
Reply:Over all, it wasn't bad. the first sentence was a bit too much. if you find some way to reword that-mostly it should be fine. It's not too long, in my opinion. personally, I find it hard to make my work long enough...other than that....re-do "2'o clock" and it should be fine. Good luck.
Reply:Your first sentence is far too long. Spelling mistakes also need to be looked at. To me, it seems as though you are trying to pack way too much descriptive language in way too often. For the last line, why mention 'Angela' twice? A rule of thumb to remember is 'try not to use the same word twice in a sentence or paragraph.' Sometimes it's not possible to do, but the key is 'try.'
You seem to have a good grasp of descriptive language, but in my humble opinion, you went a bit overboard. If I had further time, I wouldn't have been so blunt and would have taken the time/space to use specific examples and suggest solutions. Sorry about that...but you aren't far off, so don't get discouraged.
Reply:Maybe try it more like my example below, when you break it down it looks better and sounds better.
The next morning everyone except David was quietly having breakfast in the garden, because David had watched the news on tv until 2am and was still asleep there on the couch.
{ then here describe the garden. }
Angela looked at the honey pancakes which it reminded her of when she was young and begged her mother to make her delightful pancakes.

Reply:1. "The next morning"
2. Delete "glamorous." Instead, let a more vivid description of the garden show the reader that it's glamorous.
3. Instead of using words like "many," be specfic. Tell me the colors to make the scene pop.
4. Delete "simple," unnecessary adjective.
5. Simplify the last line by breaking into two sentences. It's difficult for both reader and writer to juggle too many dependent clauses without losing interest in the sentence (unless you're Henry James).
6. Replace delightful with someone more appropriate for taste.
"As Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes, she thought about the ones her mother used to make." And so on...
Overall, it's nice. You could make it very poignant if you also included other sensory details. How does the breakfast room smell? What are the sounds?
Reply:you have a good imagination and have a lot to say and have a made a great start to your story. write and rewrite. use a graphic organizer to set up your writing and to inspire new ideas. write, then read your first draft later in the day or the next. you will have more clarity of thought looking at it from the perspective of a few hours. having us read it is a good idea too, that way you will get input in a constructive way. the more who read your writing the better! dont be afraid to use a thesaurus, it will add spice to your writing and increase vocabulary. sometimes, a single word or two can eliminate lots of unnecessary ones.
a couple of things to improve on. too many words. readers get choked up with them. by the time i read all those words, i forgot what i was reading. simple, say what you need to say and thats it! run on sentences. also, spell check only checks for spelling errors, not the proper usage.
BUT, keep writing and reading. it will only increase understanding in other content areas and increases your vocab. youre doing great! trust.
Reply:In every writing class they tell you continually "cut," "cut," "cut." This is because if you don't, what you write can get too wordy. This is too wordy. Some of the details are not really necessary to the story, especially the descriptions. Here is my suggestion because I don't know exactly what you feel you can cut, I did not cut enough probably:
The following morning everyone, except for David, who still lay sleeping on the living room sofa, breakfasted silently in the lovely jade garden before the house. A triple tier stone fountain in the center of the sunny daylily garden cast a slight shadow on the beige breakfast table below it. Angela fixed her eyes hungrily on the honey pancakes remembering her mother's delightful pancakes for which she had begged often when she was a child.

Have you ever eaten an edible flower?
I have used dried daylily in my Chinese vegetable stew. Where fresh zucchini flowers are concerned, I stuff them with a rice-based mixture. In addition, a fine jam can be made out of rose petals. Finally, an excellent traditional Asian salad can be made out of banana flower buds.

Why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
I am a daylily lover. I have found that once the initial scapes finish blooming, no other scapes come up and, of course, no other blooms develope. So, why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
Who knows the answer?
Why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
i have been growing award winning day lilies for over 15 years. am also a master gardener with univ of Calif. so you can count on no spam or guess work from me. many of the hundreds of new day lilies coming out each year are called repeat bloomers because.... they repeat bloom. you were expecting me to say something different? day lilies have always been a single bloom cycle per season. bloom once and see ya next year. not any more. repeaters have 2, 3 and even 5 bloom cycles a year. especially hear in the west. i have a few that did 6 cycles last year. i had beautiful bloom thur Christmas. it's almost a shame to waste time with single cycle plants. but there are still many outstanding single cycle day lilies that are so wonderful, that the one time a year bloom is worth it. great, easy to grow, almost carefree plant. some purples and blood reds will knock your eyes out. check some out in your garden. you won't be sorry.
Reply:Because some are bred to rebloom-- sometimes later in the summer. Like fragrance-- some have it, some don't. Like size, some are 36 inches tall, others arent.
If you will google Missouri and daylilies-- you may get a breeder (whose name excapes me right now)- get their catalogue and it gives you the varieties and their blooming habits.
good luck
Reply:I believe they will come up year after year.
Reply:I think its because some types of daylily's will bloom again once they've finished blooming.

Does someone know the name of this flower? I think it's a kind of daylily although it's planted in the water.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Maverick there. I think it looks much more like a Spider Lilly in the genus Hymenocallis which IS in the family Amaryllidaceae.
If you notice, the original question notes the plant was growing in water, and Hymenocallis prefers wet habitats where as Pancratium prefer dry habitats.
Here are some pictures of the Spider lilly:

Reply:Sean B is 100% accurate I was careless in my approach to the question . Report It
Reply:Hymenocallis means "beautiful membrane" in Greek, which refers to the staminal corona.
The prifix 'hymen' is significant here . Report It
Reply:It is pancratium No doubt.
Pancratium is a genus of about 18 species flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, which also including the genera Narcissus (true daffodils) and Galanthus (snowdrops).
The genus is found along the coastline of the Mediterranean area extending to the Canary Islands, tropical Africa and tropical Asia.
The plants are herbaceous perennial, growing from bulbs. The flowers are large, white and fragrant. Perianth tube and corona are present.
Plants belonging to the genus Pancratium have been found in prehistoric Cretan frescoes.
"Pancratium" is derived from the Greek and means "strength", probably referring to the strength of a plant that can tolerate extreme climates.
Pancratium species often inhabit extremely dry and sandy areas.
Many species has been published under Pancratium but most have been transferred to other genera.
Only a few species are cultivated. P. maritimum and P. illyricum being the hardiest for outdoor cultivation, but shy of flowering in cool areas. P. zeylanicum is sometimes grown as a hothouse container plant.

Daylilies come in a wide rage of colors today with more added every year. From an almost white to a deep, dark plum.
Plants range in size with scapes reaching upto 5 ft and dwarfs under 1 ft tall.

What are some examples of parallel venation (leaves)?
I know that daylily and corn leaves are, but what about palms?
I have a project that I need to do and I can't find any corn or daylily leaves, but we have palm leaves.
What are some examples of parallel venation (leaves)?
The Monocotyledons like Grass, Lilies, Amaryllis, Bananas, Orchids.
Excuse me: I just saw the small detail sentences.
You can take the palm leaves and you might find some grass-leaves too.
Reply:yes, it is considerable. striate or parallel is the same
