I'll make a hand tie while I show all the varieties of flowers and foliage we have to cut in June

Flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery shows you the mass of varieties of flowers and foliage she has to cut on the farm in June and makes a great big hand-tie with them as she talks. This British Flowers week it’s time to celebrate the locally grown flowers industry which is growing exponentially not just in the uk but ALL over the world.
Georgie has an interesting point of view: because she is both grower and florist she has an understanding of what and why you'd grow or buy if you were at either end of the market. As she takes you through the long list of material she has to cut this month, she also considers why each stem is useful to her as a florist, but why it may not be such a good stem to grow if you were looking to sell to other florists. Equally, she considers what might be worth growing if you are a florist with a garden and able to grow a little for your design work, rather than buy from other growers.
Just looking at the bouquet Georgie makes during this chat you can see:
peony
Chinese forgetmenot
Larkspur
sweet rocket
sweet William
giant scabious
ornamental thistles
buttercup
lavatera
sweet peas
ammi magus
bupleurum
astrantia
foxglove
salvias
vaccaria hispanica
honeysuckle
atriplex rubra
campion
penstemon
grass
roses
wild carrot
sanguisorba
alchemilla
cineraria
physocarpus
philadelphus
feverfew
toad flax
ornamental dead nettle
lysimachia fire cracker
bladder campion
gum totally tangerine
nigella
ox eye daisy
allium
persicaria bistorta
mint
phacelia
enjoy!

Would love to take the 30 stems challenge except that we are under a heat advisory at 105 F in Central Texas. I'm watering just to keep the soil temperature down. There are at least 30 stems of bachelor buttons, assorted foliage, stunted sweet Williams, some zinnias making a tentative appearance, and 2 fancy salmon echinacia. The roses are pouting and shattering as soon as they open. We're hoping this heat doesn't last all summer, but I remember 2011 with 90 days of triple-digit heat, and trees died. People died too.
