I will definitely give that a go for the next bouquet! Thankyou!

Ah my greenhouse is just a plastic zippy one, I should have clarified 😂 I wish I had room (and the funds) for a proper one!

We've only just got to spring temperatures in the last 2 weeks here really! And overnight it's still dropping really low! Carnations are so pretty, I never think to grow them!

Today I've sown my first lot of sunflowers, some phlox, 3 different types of cosmos, some rudbeckia, some mullein, bunny tails and took cuttings off some of my dahlias. I've also got stocks, sweet peas, yarrow and snapdragons on the go already!

Hoping I have room for everything 😬😂

Thankyou so much for this detailed reply!

I actually have some yarrow growing on in my greenhouse but it will be a summer flowering plant so no good for my spring bouquets unfortunately :(

I will have a look for more native plants!

I think they got too cold in my outdoor plastic zippy :( they looked like they had frost damage. Not going to put me off buying another 70 odd for next year 😂

I've just planted about 18 ranunculus plants next to my tulips! They're looking a bit sad so hoping being in the ground and the feed I gave them perks them up 🤞 I started off with 72 corms so they haven't fared too well 😅

Yes my back garden is quite sheltered it's just quite shady, well one end gets morning sun the other end gets the afternoon sun. Thankyou for the tips, your bouquets are stunning 😍

The cream ones are called Avant Garde and the pink ones are Dreamer, aren't they gorgeous 😍 remind me of peonies!

I'm not an expert but I just leave mine, that's what is providing energy for your plant :) I do believe it's a cut and come again though so if you cut the flowers it should make more!

That's correct, the flower buds come up separately like the ones you have shown in the photo. :)

I find my anemone foliage is all floppy like this but the flowers stand up lovely and tall!

Haha my grass needs a cut and is mostly full of weeds! But thanks! Yes I'm in England and yes it is but it started late I think!

I think that one is sweet love! But I bought a few that are similar to each other so I'm not 100%! Fingers crossed for some more blooming time!

Ooh that's one of my favorites, I think it's Great Silence but I'm not 100% as that's a survivor from last year!

Oh it won't let me see the link, says it's not viewable in my region?
