Cut Flowers 2018

[muck lover]

Here are two beds behind my polytunnel I have reserved for flowers for cutting. At the moment it�s mostly alliums but there will be big oriental lillies, dahlia, gladioli, gypsophylia all coming.

[Guest]

Done at the weekend but the narcs. have started to open. They smell gorgeous - sweet, slightly musky but not overpowering either. The one in the stem vase was in there over a week and I can't believe how much it has grown. The pic with it with a friend is for comparison

Experimental vase. Seakale, campion (TY VC it is pink ), lemon balm, golden delicious apple blossom (the tree was close to dead 2 years ago but it is still battling ), wallflower, quince, bluebell.



Gift Bunch - red valerian, rhododendron, tulip, quince and periwinkle.



Jam jar arrangement - red valerian, tulips, periwinkle and rhodies.



Please feel free to join in anyone (beg, plead, grovel). I know you are all growing flowers really I am worried the thread will become a 'tired of hearing my own voice' type thread.

Todays offerings. Left - valerian, cow parsley, aquilegias and geum. Right - same as left but with bronze fennel instead of geum



Then an all sorts bunch. campion, wallflowers, rhody, tulips,

[Thelma Sanders]

I would join in - only apart from some Bluebells, there's nothing flowering yet *sigh*

Actually, thinking about it, I lied, I have a few Gloire de Dijon rose and Arum Lily flowers in the big greenhouse, but nothing to cut.

Yours look lovely though
