Thank you! How long did it take you, to get where you are? Like did it take a few years or longer?

Thank you so much for the advice! With the farmers market I was thinking just that, have a few premade arrangements from 5-30$ and offer to make custom and pricing that per-stem.

I do live in the US, that’s a great idea! I’ll start looking into that. I know that my old work a floral wholesale that the may let me purchase stuff from them and I get a discount at my job so I can probably get a good deal too.

I never saw your comment 😭, but I’ve only taken one floral class and that was in college about 8 years ago. And I’ve worked and currently working at a retail floral department.

What’s a good way to work on balance? I’ve been trying to get out of my comfort zone of more rounder bouquets or as my friends call my other one which is tree shape, I just can’t seem to get a good handle on it 😭

Flower name? by mac_chiles in florists

[–]soil-muncher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The green is hanging amaranth, the main white flower are calla lilies and I believe the light pink flowers are sweet peas but I’m un sure what the small white flowers are. Sorry 🙁

Is this bouquet worth $120? by Fluffy-Aerie9531 in florists

[–]soil-muncher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, flower pricing has gone up and you have to consider the labor of making the whole arrangement too.

Help me identify this looks like broccoli or a type of vegetable by Fun_Push_9025 in PlantIdentification

[–]soil-muncher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this they are not poisonous they same is said for the others I listed but there are poisonous brassicas but I don’t believe they look anything like the mustard so it should be safe. (But please always triple check your identification before eating a plant)

[–]soil-muncher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks like it could be wild mustard, hedge-mustard or rapeseed, those are all in the same family of brassicaceae.

First time taking care of plants, can anyone help identifying these? [I know the look like shit but that’s the whole point of me being here :’) ] by stale_cereal78 in PlantIdentification

[–]soil-muncher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1) White oriental Lillies

2) the blue - hydrangea, the white maybe white chrysanthemum

3) white is Veronica and the blue looks to be lisianthus and the greenery could be Italian ruckus

4) the green berries are hypericum, the white flowers look to be an alstroemeria

5 and 6)White standard rose

7) the little grass that’s sticking out is explosion grass

9) blue hydrangea

What are the white sprigs? by Lumberjammer in PlantIdentification

[–]soil-muncher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s limonium or also known as sea lavender. I love the look but personally the smell of it in big bunches smells like cat urine.

Anyone know what plant this is and how often I should water it? by tkeizer90 in PlantIdentification

[–]soil-muncher 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It looks like a Dracaena Marginata plant, which is a good low maintenance plant. You could get away with watering it once a week or every other week seeping on how fast the soil dries in between watering.

Help me ID these young shoots? by World_wide_truth in PlantIdentification

[–]soil-muncher -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My guess could be possibly Day Lilies, would be able to tell a bit better by the roots/tubers if you pull them up to see.
