Cut Flowers 2017

[Guest]

Week 24

[WPG]

Gorgeous arrangements as ever NG. I should know this, but I can't think...what's the name of the flower in your first photo?

Here's some alstromeria and nigella. The alstromeria is Apollo and I'd recommend this type to anyone who's got a space for tall flowers (mine grows to around 4 foot). It's so reliable, spreads without being invasive, and seems immune to pest damage. I love it!

[Guest]

Lovely WPG I love alstro which reminds me I need to dig around mine to see whats going on incase it is snotty e-mail time.

The first pic is of Clarkia Elegans. I struggle with the tips when conditioning though, so they are now getting pinched out gorgeous indoors but not one for the flower business.

A £10 bunch for NS This one is a bit bum nippy as it is a delivery experiment

These cupids dart flowers were lolling over the path by the front door, just asking to be stepped on, so I cut them out of the way. The lilies grow in a tub and had got too leggy to stand up straight.

[WPG]

Alstromerias with foxglove and ferns (not well arranged at all!) and a selection of small flowers (lavender, purple toadflax, escholzia, sweet pea, allium, broccoli raab and PSB gone to seed, and daisies)

Stunning NG' thanks for the £10 bouquet, only just seen it.
Hope they liked it

[WPG]

Wow, that's just gorgeous NG, and a lovely colour scheme - I love the addition of poppy heads too.

[WPG]

Despite my attempts to tie these back with canes and string, the escholzia and daisies were determined to block the path, so they've ended up in a vase instead. Even with searing I find escholzia only last a couple of days in water, so I'll enjoy them while they last.

[WPG]

I've borrowed Norfolkgrey's idea of adding seed heads to the vase - didn't have any big poppy heads so I've used nigella heads instead

[WPG]

My sweet peas have been really slow to get going this year, but finally there's enough for a vase of their own. I've been sniffing at them all, and my favourite scent is Matacuna
