Cut Flowers 2017

[WPG]

They're all gorgeous NG. I especially love the colour of the tithonia (or the orange flowers in the last photo, I'm not sure what they are) with the bells of Ireland, the combination looks really cheerful.

Thank you. The flowers in the last one are dahlias (all this years grown from seed, a yellow decorative, an orange decorative and a fruit salad semi pom pom) and cosmos radiance (which you can't see) and pink double click cosmos.

Alstro, nerine, zinnia (may be the last of them, rot is getting in on the stems ), crysanth-salmon Talbot, dahlia and sweetcorn leaves.

dahlia and Chinese lanterns (the lanterns were given to me so can't take credit)



sedum, achillea, aster and more lanterns

[WPG]

Gorgeous arrangements as always NG. I especially love the aster and tithonia combination.

I know you didn't grow them, but the Chinese lanterns are so eye-catching too

[Guest]

TY . The aster and tithonia is my fav. too and it is so simple and uses so little material. Just a shame that the asters all tend to come out at the same time.

My girls picked the flowers this week.

I wasn't expecting to be cutting flowers in December, but went to the allotment today and found some stragglers of alstromeria, verbena bonariensis, calendula, convolulvus tricolor, geum, snapdragon, poppy, daisy, wallflower, virginian stock and cerinthe. There were even a couple of sweet peas still in flower!

[Guest]

Gorgeous WPG. The only stragglers I have are Valerian and snap dragons but they a looking a bit ropey.

Last weeks more chrysanths - coral reef, downpour and shenkyo (sp?)



No flowers this week - start of the wreaths and bits.

The frost finally got my nasturtium the other day but I saved this little piece about a week or two ago,the flowers have just opened

I have wallflowers, primroses, penstemon and salvia and loads of fuchsias and camellia. Probably more too but this is just from memory!
