OH's mum went down with Covid last year so I put together a little posy made from heliotrope, cosmos (xanthos and chocolate) and rudbeckias. Don't think it looks to shabby for a first go 🙂
I can’t imagine there are many questions on this site that haven’t been asked before, but for us newbies we really don’t need to be told how unoriginal we are by the oldies. i am sure it was once new and interesting Even for you once upon a time.
Hi. Sorry, it wasn’t intended to be malicious in any way. By this time of the year, we usually have a thread with flower arrangements, but I couldn’t find one when I’ve searched for it. It was really just a honest question and an expression of surprise that there isn’t one yet. I always enjoy seeing and posting bunches of flowers, and I’ve admired your lovely bouquet.
Most years we have had jam jar flowers as a thread, usually started by different people. There is no problem in someone new starting it. Charity shops usuallly have vases if you have no jam jars.
I do wish forget-me-nots and brunnera flowers would last longer in water. They are like the gypsophila of spring! Soon saxifraga London pride will flower and that has similar diaphanous flowers.
I accidentally broke off these nemesias, so in a vase they went along with some bits and pieces of foliage. I've also used it as an opportunity to try taking some cuttings - my first time trying to propagate anything this way, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
