This is lovely, John! I like the simplicity of it, and those santini chrysanthemums are of the best quality. Often the foliage is so beat up it's almost unusable. Thank you, Friend. I'm happy to see you back on a Tuesday!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@stepps511 thank you! Yes, that was unusual that the foliage was good - when it is it really is nice to actually use it. I think the transport really can damage the foliage on the chrysanths! Hope you are having a great week! 😊🌼🌼🌼

John, thank you for this demo. Can you also comment on how to keep flowers fresh I recently purchased super fresh flowers from a wholesaler and within 2 days they were dead. There was no Greenery in the water and I had used flower food.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@lisahoegler4278 thank you! That is a good point - and I think you had an unusual situation there. It sounds like they might have been chilled in transport maybe? If flowers die very quickly then it tends to be something like that in the way they have been either transported or stored at a wholesaler. It’s worth mentioning it to the wholesaler in case they had other feedback.

I love it John. Kind regards from Berlin. Ana

[@FlowerJoos]

@@user-ul8uj9dn1j thank you Ana! Hope you missed all the rain there? 🌼

[@user-ul8uj9dn1j]

@@FlowerJoos Thanks God 🙏. God bless dear John and everything you do.

Very cute. How do you prevent the Honesty stems from dirtying the water? In my experience I've had dried stems bleed like a tea in a few days.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@linuslinus1024 thank you! These were dried so not fresh stems - but it’s easy to do a water change with this design!

[@mariacordero4561]

Hi John, thank you but recently I made arrangements of this color plain and it does not have the same effect with my friends if I put in the arrangement stronger color like: red, pink, yellow, orange. !!! I don’t know why and are they the same FLOWER🌺🌻🌷⁉️☺️

[@FlowerJoos]

@@mariacordero4561 hello! Yes, I think you are right, people like colour! But in the right setting with the right light then a monochrome design can really be different. Or - add one touch of colour as a highlight is also a good technique. 🌼🌼🌼

[@mariacordero4561]

Thanks for for reply🥰👍🏻

[@judelachance]

I love your tutorials for the most part, this one is weak. 🙁Sorry

[@FlowerJoos]

@@judelachance that’s ok - it is simple, the combination of the honesty and fresh material was the idea.

[@LinaBooC-tg8ou]

This is too complicated, not sure if I can do it. I think it’s very pretty.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@LinaBooC-tg8ou 😀 Thank you!
