I need to take a class on flower arrangement. I can never get them to look the way I want them to. What's the secret?
These are my arrangements, the plants that stand out the most for me are the ones I get from my garden.
My magic petunias mixed with store bought bouquet. I call them magic because they bloomed constantly from October through May of the next year. My then 2 year old daughter chose them from Home Depot, she refused to get any other flat of flowers but these petunias. It HAD to be these. These turned out to be fragrant and last a long time as cut flowers too. I even had a pleasant visit from a hummingbird one night as I stepped out to get groceries. Yes, these are "magic" petunias. I wish I had taken a picture of them growing in my front yard, it was a MASS of pink.
the grassy leaf, i took from my garden. the arrangement didn't look complete without it.
grassy leaves and Asparagus Meyerii, foxtail fern are mine. the rest was from Central Market.
I grew everything in this arrangement, except for the green chrysanthemum.
the leaf in the glass is from my wax jambu tree
The orchid is called Princess...something. For some reason, everything with Princess in the name grows amazingly well for me. This orchid bloomed from Valentine's day until June, when the last flower dried up. 4 months, is that normal? It was already in full bloom when I received it.
