So gorgeous, Georgie. I too prefer pink to red anytime. And here in the US we call galentines, as in gals or girls, when we celebrate valentines with our girlfriends.

[@theflowerfarmer]

love the word Galentine - brilliant x

Ooh Georgie you're so good! I don't know which one I like the most. They all have their own beauty. I agree with you about the red, I much prefer pink, it's so much more romantic💐💚

[@theflowerfarmer]

Very interesting Georgie, I searched on-line for local flower growers and found one about an hour from my home. I did not realize there were so many flower growers here in Connecticut, USA. I'm going to visit them this year and see what they offer. Thank you for your inspiring and informative videos.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Brilliant - tell them how you found them - they might be in my club x

[@nicholasmelrose5212]

I just found you. You are fabulous. ❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾

[@theflowerfarmer]

Welcome!! x

[@ivylll3397]

LOVE these posies! They are so adorable & endearing! The seasonality of seasonal bouquets adds an unique touch to the arrangement, to which I think the imported flowers can’t compare (unless we ask specifically for at the florists). Pinks should totally be the color for Valentine❤

[@theflowerfarmer]

I totally agree! x

[@janeturner7938]

Greenery and twigery pokery!🤣😂 Love them all Georgie.😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@bewoodford2807]

fantastic video Georgie. I have Iris, snowdrops, winter aconites, snowdrops, cyclamen, narcissi and hellebores. Also beautiful Corylus Contorta. After watching your video, I now have heathers on my wish list from my Valentine Thank you xx

I went round my garden this afternoon and picked a few bits of euonymus, lonicera nitidans, primroses, snowflakes, viburnum bodnantense, pussy willow, sarcococca and forsythia. I've just turned it into the sweetest little posy, ready to give to my husband tomorrow. Would much rather do that than buy expensive out of season imported flowers, or any other commercial tat! Let's hope he likes it! Thanks for the inspiration Georgie!

[@theflowerfarmer]

perfect x

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Lovely ideas Georgie and I have to say I picked a lovely bunch of snowdrops from my garden (picked for myself lol) and put them in a very small pretty crystal vase. They looked so lovely and yes the smell is so delicate. Thankyou for this lovely video xx

We have hellebores blooming in South Carolina USA. Camellia Japonicas are also flowering where I live. Alas the pansies and violas look pathetic, but will perk up with some warmer weather. There’s not a lot, but there is something.

[@theflowerfarmer]

there's always something - the hellebores a great favourite of mine x

[@margaretwalsh1456]

Georgie there all beautiful...I don't like red flowers at except at Christmas.... Thank you so much..

[@theflowerfarmer]

you're welcome x

[@pamparish1059]

Georgie, your flower creations were gorgeous. Totally agree with your thoughts. Where are you secateurs from? Thank you.

[@ChloeAtTheFlowerBothy]

Hi Georgie thanks for another great video! I always prefer pinks 😁🌸 Can I please ask your thoughts on including the narcissus in arrangements, will the sap affect the longevity of the other flowers? If I condition them to try and avoid, I’d be worried my recipient may cut again and then have issues with their bouquet 🤔 Thank you! 🩷

[@theflowerfarmer]

I have never had an issue with using narcissi in mixed bouquets - xxxx

[@ChloeAtTheFlowerBothy]

@@theflowerfarmer thank you! I will keep experimenting 😄 xxx

[@mygardenventure2881]

Absolutely brilliant ideas for Valentine Georgie! Can I please ask where you order your cellophane from? Thank you!

[@theflowerfarmer]

mine comes from Michael Dark near Exeter x www.michaeldark.co.uk/

[@susankerr85]

Do you choose not to do Valentine bouquets ? Surely they would be good earners...Anyone would be happy to receive any of the ideas shown in the video....❤🎉

[@theflowerfarmer]

the thing is I'm so flat out in the summer I choose to slow down a bit in the winter - yes, Valentine's Day is good income and I did it for years, but as a small business one can choose not to do some things in favour of others. I am glad my colleagues supply such good quality flowers in winter, but I am so busy in the summer I prefer to focus on providing similar quality myself from April till September x Great idea for a clip so thank you x
