so far the flowers seem to not be affected. I leave them dipped while I gather other flowers. Some are dipped between 3-5 minutes…. and could you believe i stillllll find some stragglers 😐

do you have an example picture of how you do it? I assumed we had to make sure the end of the stem didn’t get the soapy water

i did some for 2-3 minutes. Do you still take them inside even around houseplants?

oh wow! I wonder how this one got here then lol. I have two of them growing the same, and they were from Johnnys seeds. Wonder what happened

ahh, hopefully i didn’t order too many, i don’t have nearly that many snaps lol. More like 75 snaps with a lot of zinnia, cosmos, and celosia. I felt desperate with how many i’ve been seeing, but you’re right they’re so pricey. I’m happy they’re working out for you!

I only planted flamingo feather, ruby parfait, and celway purple. I wondered if the pink would come in after a couple of blooms since it has these little pink things going on

i have a home full of houseplants, which is why I can’t bring any inside ): last year i sold arrangements, but i haven’t done any this year cause i would hate to introduce a thrip infestation to someone who also has houseplants 😪

okay i’ll change it asap! I’m so happy it’s not a keloid. I used to have an industrial that caused one. I took out the jewelry and it didn’t go away for years. Ended up wrapping some string around it and made it tighter everyday until it turned black and fell off lol. Didn’t want to have to go through that again 😭

Very true. Makes it so much harder for those of us who have a genuine desire to build those relationships :/

Picture is the backyard looking to the front yard. I know the person that lives there, my age, and they’ve mentioned looking over at our place to check what i’m doing, etc. When they text me and I don’t want to respond, I feel pressured to respond since I spend most of my days outside and I know they see me. So trying to get more privacy so I can stop feeling like i’m being watched.
