combining fixed and absolute divs with a global min-width?

Hey,
i'm new to this group beceaus i have a question i have been trying to
solve
for a few days now but i just cant figure it out.

I am trying to constrain the min-width of my site,
but i have some div's in there with a fixed and absolute
positioning...
And these two dont seem to get along?
Or maybe it is beceaus i use z-index to layer some divs.
I have been out-comenting allmost every line of css i wrote but when
it works
i dont like the design of the outcomme...

div#container{
min-width: 960px !important;
}

div#flower{
background-image: url(graphics/flower.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: absolute;
position: fixed;
/*float: left;*/
top: 100px;
left: 10%;
bottom: 0;
width: 250px;
height: 100%;
z-index: 2;
}

two snippets of code to illustrate
here is the link to the site in question.
