[@Redbarngardens]

Your flowers are very beautiful and i can see the joy that you get out them and arranging them ❤

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kellythompson2267]

Just beautiful!! I love that style of flower arranging!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you so much!

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

PS- that green ribbon is adorable! Very pretty touch. ❤

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thanks!

[@madelinerivera7445]

LOVE, LOVE, your arrangements. Can't believe at this time you were just a beginner....pretty darn excellent!! I love how you wrap your bouquets; very unique from all the others. I actually watch Sarah from Bloom and Gray and love her style. I love that you tell us what flowers you are using and slowly show us the results. Keep your style of arranging!! It works! Thank you for sharing. Now I'm off to see your other videos!!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you so much!! 🌸🌸

[@kathypope3010]

Beautiful flowers!!!! What a great attitude you have. I am so glad I found your channel and outlook on growing cut flowers. On my way to check out more of your videos.

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you so much!

Great video! Just so you know, rubber bands are compostable. Basically anything that used to be living or part of a living thing is biodegradable. Rubber comes from trees, so voila! Great reminder that silk is too! So is cotton, wool, cork, shell, bamboo fiber and hemp. I once composted feathers from an old sleeping bag that was sooo old and not great quality fill to begin with. My husband just rolled his eyes, but I earned my Captain Planet badge that day!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thanks for the info!

[@ashleyannbates3800]

I sold my very first flower bouquet today and I used the same wrapping style and paper as yours. I also learned from Sarah @ Blooms and Gray. Thank you for sharing you video. Your bouquets are amazing :)

[@birdhouseblooms]

That’s so exciting! 💐💐

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

I had a lot of fun watching you arrange flowers thank you for sharing I've been growing flowers for 10+ yrs but this will be my first summer doing farmers markets I have a lot to learn but excited for the challenge :)

[@birdhouseblooms]

Oh best wishes!! It will be so fun 💜

[@purpleluna8413]

Oh wow when you said it isn't the process of selling them but growing that is so me. Same love flowers always have one in particular is Zinnias and there are so many but love all flowers. It is the growing and then the creativeness of putting thr colours textures and depth into a bouquet. My husband is German so a tradition is to go to the cemetery to put flowers on different anniversaries, we buy from a local buyer with a honesty box whwn thry don't man it. They have a really big backyard and I always say wish this was mine I do so much more and sell veggies too. We have a corner block but it isn't overly big as rebuking a house which is bigger than than the little one we outgrew ans hubby has a big shed. When we buy the flowers though I think I could do better though it was winter so not much around they are very average. Cost about $5 for the samll ones we use for the cemetery, which I usually have to take a tiny bit out for his grandparents. So I got the idea to grow flowers and to sell. It is 18th Sept so 18 days of Spring planted Zinnia and white Marigold but we have been having speing rain for a week.torrwntial rain stops sunny torrential rain been a week and meant to be till at least next Wednesday 🥲 Hope warms up as got some seed to plant. Yesterday bought bulbs like tuberose dahlias and Solomon's seal ao hope they will spread over the years. I aslo bought seeds one is Gomphrena (globe amaranth) called strawberry field looks amazing in big bunch in Google image. Lots of colours too thr darker ones retain their colour when dry I bought Cafe Au Lait must pot it up as it will be coming back very soon.

[@birdhouseblooms]

The garden you are planning sounds amazing! I'm want to grow a lot of strawberry fields Gomphrena next year to save and dry for Christmas

[@maryjones2403]

Creative with loose arrangement!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you 🌸

[@sharonjennings1282]

Just watched this again. Beautiful!!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you Sharon! 🌸🌸

[@cass77788]

omg these bouquets are breathtaking! Not only the flowers but the greenery is just as beautiful! love the eucalyptus and the amaranth....the hibiscus leaves just make the bouquets complete. amazing...your bouquets are much prettier than some i have seen because of the added greenery. God bless!!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you!! I find the greenery adds some interesting aspects to the bouquets and makes them look more balanced

[@Bmary-xk1vn]

Just found your channel. Love it! I just started arranging flowers from my garden and I have a lot to learn. Thank you for showing this and explaining as you go along.

[@birdhouseblooms]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@coloradotulips]

Superb colors and movement in the arrangement and bouquets! I love the bright cosmos colors with the raspberry shades. I never would have had the vision to put those together and now want nothing but. So beautiful!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you so much!

[@beerooted8550]

Beautiful it was nice to see you arrange your flowers... thank you

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you!! I’ll have to do more videos like this 😁

[@gardengirl7446]

You would love Sarah Ravens formula for bouquets! bride: focal flower like dahlia, church: greenery like basil, groom: spike like snapdragon, veil: something lacy like orlaya, bridesmaids: round flower like zinnia in either matching or contrasting color to focal flower bride, and finally, crazy uncle: something different like grasses, berries, or celosia plume or brain!

[@birdhouseblooms]

That does sound so lovely!

[@riverunner9978]

Beautiful process you’ve gotten to , happy 22 growing!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you! It keeps getting better with time and practice 😁

[@peterwhite9261]

Very nice.

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you

[@miguelsalty]

I really enjoy the videos!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you 😊

[@suziqbrown7073]

Looks like a fun thing to do

[@birdhouseblooms]

Yes it sure is!

[@MinnieAcresFarm]

I like how your ruler works to cut the paper😀 I also like Sarah's method although I haven't actually tried any methods yet but I still like the look of it 😁 thanks for showing how you make arrangements with your beautiful flowers Terren😊

[@birdhouseblooms]

You’re welcome! Yes Sarah has my favorite method so far 💜 my ruler would cut even better if I took the plastic wrap off of it 😂

[@MinnieAcresFarm]

😂

[@mariaespere566]

Just found your channel love it! 😍🥰🥰

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you and welcome! 🌷

[@nealam100]

Gorgeous!! Thank you for showing us your arrangements!!

[@birdhouseblooms]

🥰 thank you!

[@sharonjennings1282]

I also make my personal bouquets from the “scarps” lol. Sometimes the next day I look at them and think they were actually prettier than the ones I took to market. This is just beautiful.

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you! I know, I feel like when the “pressure is off” and I’m creating just for fun they turn out better 😊

[@giomammina8965]

They are beautiful!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you! Flowers are such a joy 🌸

[@pameladeweese9585]

your bouquets are incredible

[@birdhouseblooms]

Awwww now I'm blushing 😊

[@erlindaaldea8443]

wow very beautiful flowers ❤️😱

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you 😊

[@gardengirl7446]

It's a JOY to follow your passion

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you!! I love sharing it! 🌸

[@jillkeim3587]

Beautiful! Such nice touches on the boquets.

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you! 😊

[@carolinapalomares9649]

maybe I missed the name of the red leafy cuts... I enjoyed this video very much! Thanks for sharing your talent!!!

[@birdhouseblooms]

You are so welcome! The red ones were Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus, I got my seeds from Johnny's.

[@dianecotton9531]

Just found your channel. Those Cafe au Lait's are to die for! Just purchased some to plant in spring....l'm in Australia.

[@birdhouseblooms]

They will make you so happy 😁 I love Cafe au Lait Rose too

[@Debbiesbackyard]

Very beautiful, really appreciate your videos

[@birdhouseblooms]

I’m glad you enjoy them 😊

[@cherigreen4471]

I really enjoyed your process and love the colors and end results. I think you are doing a wonderful job with your arrangements!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you so much!

[@heatherhillis4062]

I understand how you feel when you are sad that your big amaranth has to be set aside, it just doesn't work as filler. A suggestion: change your perspective. Don't treat it as a filler, use it as your focal for the next bouquet. Then let your creativity run weird, and make a stark, asymmetrical, fun bouquet. Sometimes those sell first!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Great idea!

[@InnaFlowersANewLife]

Super! Like 107.

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thank you!

[@jessicaadams7238]

I love every bit of this video!!!! We have alot in common and I'm learning so much from you! Do you mind sharing around what price you would sell those wrapped bouquets and or jar arrangements for? I have a small roadside stand and find setting the prices so difficult!

[@birdhouseblooms]

I did these ones for $20 and $40 for the large arrangement, and $10 for the little ones. I am trying to do recipes now though so I get more consistent. These are priced a little too low, but I can't help but want them to look lush and full!

[@jessicaadams7238]

What are the deep red leaves? Love every bit of this video!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thanks!! They are hibiscus, mahogany splendor

[@TheFragrantBunch]

I love that you're showing the arranging of the flowers!! Are the orange cosmos Diablo? They're gorgeous!

[@birdhouseblooms]

They are Indonesian Kennikura from Baker Creek

[@SaarasGarden]

Wow......🌷🌷🌷🤗 it's beautiful ....🌹 I love your channel ...first time view your channel .... subb!!!!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Welcome!! 🌸

[@taylorjohns3423]

Ok I have to ask about this ruler that you have- I’ve never seen one like this! Where can I find one? Or what are they called? Love the video

[@birdhouseblooms]

It’s from the hardware store! “Aluminum Straight Edge Ruler 36 inch”. www.homedepot.com/p/Empire-36-in-Aluminum-Straight-Edge-Ruler-403/100185157

[@nikkiholton6318]

Which of those flowers did you direct seed and which did you start indoors ?

[@birdhouseblooms]

Dahlias were planted directly outside from tubers. I started everything indoors this year, but I'm hoping to transition to more direct sowing next season to relieve some of the seedling burden.

[@rtpfreshflowerslocalfloris8724]

Hi , I love how you are arranging flowers. Where did you buy brown paper?

[@birdhouseblooms]

amazon

[@patp8146]

i like the small vases, where can I purchase those in bulk?

[@birdhouseblooms]

I have a few friends that save them for me. I’ve seen them on Amazon, they are usually used for homemade yogurt.

[@sharonjennings1282]

Can I ask what you ask for the wrapped bouquets? I am still working on a good price point for my own bouquets

[@birdhouseblooms]

Usually $15 or $20 depending on how many focal flowers I have in the bouquet

[@hitchyourwagon4720]

What is the wide maroon leaf filler I see in some arrangements? Is it castor bean?

[@birdhouseblooms]

mahogany splendor hibiscus

[@nikkiholton6318]

Is the red hibiscus the same as mahogany splendor?

[@birdhouseblooms]

Yep!

[@Ruseofpoison]

Beautiful! It's my goal to pursue flower growing in a similar style to yours one day, your channel is an inspiration! Question for you! This year I did some very lazy dahlia labeling and one deteriorated by the time it bloomed. I've been scouring the internet and tuber catalogs but haven't found it's name yet. It looks like the dahlias in timestamp 19:29, would you mind letting me know what those are called? I think those are the same variety as mine!

[@birdhouseblooms]

I actually don’t know the variety of those ones 😩 I moved a bunch around last fall to new spots in the spring and all my tags got messed up. I’m so sorry!

[@pollinatefarmgardensupply2708]

Where did you get the stamp made?

[@birdhouseblooms]

Saya Bell on Etsy

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

Loved your flowers but I found that music annoying and distracting. Probably just me. 😊

[@birdhouseblooms]

Finding music that is enjoyable in the KZbin studio that doesn't have copyright rules is super challenging, but I'm always up for suggestions on which ones you like!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I think they all look great!

[@birdhouseblooms]

Thanks Candace! 🌸
