    Just popped round the plot picked a few,can't get anymore in a jam jar. You see I use the "special non-tip jars!

    Wow, very beautiful and striking @Lena_vs_Deer

    Do cut poppies last in water?

    @Fire yeh! About a week for me usually. Although I have no idea if it has anything to do with chemistry of water. And after they’re spent they still look nice as heads when mixed with something <3

    The blue gerananium’s don’t last so long as cut flowers sadly

    It IS really sad! It’s such a dreamy combination … looks really beautiful !

    Thanks @Lena_vs_Deer, best just to enjoy some flowers in the garden I guess

    @Ilikeplants do they dry well perhaps? Maybe pressed in a book. I’ve never tried, but methinks some of the favorite jars of summer may be worth drying and re-assembling in a frame as a picture for a later rainy day :)

    Probably would dry well @Lena_vs_Deer, almost tissue delicate petals but very vivid in colour. Thanks for your suggestion.
