Summer Flower Arrangement Featuring Poppies, Astilbe And Hydrangea

[@linuslinus1024]

Wow, very nice! Never thought of using hydrangea like that. Looks like the flowers are in a pink cloud. 🙂

[@theparlourflorist]

Oh my word!! This has to be my favourite summer arrangement of all time. It has all the elements that give the feel of a quintessentially English county garden and meadow. Stunning, absolutely stunning. Thank you so much xx

I'm going to use the California poppies in my garden to make this

[@waterdragon5680]

If cannot get poppy, what substitute would be good? Thanks

[@FlowerJoos]

Water Dragon it depends on what the design is for. You could use faux versions, or pastel germini, or anthirrinums. It would depend what you can source - so the effect visually might vary a little bit. 😀🌼

[@waterdragon5680]

Your design, the one you have posted. Anthirrum n Gemini, heads too big. Not as delicate n flexible as your poppy. Ummm, will go to the flower market n look

[@FlowerJoos]

Water Dragon anthirrinhum not anthurium - but yes, just see what there is available 😀

[@ГалинаСтефанович-г3э]

Привет!Сначала сборка композиции показалась странной(когда появились маки).Но финал получился очень интересным.Вот это фантазия!!!

[@FlowerJoos]

Галина Стефанович 🤪 but ok?

[@ГалинаСтефанович-г3э]

@@FlowerJoos конечно очень красиво!!!

[@FlowerJoos]

Галина Стефанович благодарю вас 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@georgegarcia7334]

QUESTIONS: How long does it take for the Poppies to break out??? AND: Won't the other flowers wilt or die BEFORE the POPPIES OPEN??? It would be interesting to know WHEN to cut the Poppies one is going to use!!! Thank you!

[@FlowerJoos]

George Garcia these actually opened quite quickly - so they were good in relation to the other flowers. I think it would depend on the ambient temperature - if warm they will open quickly but if you want them to be slow then place them somewhere cooler. The poppies look good in all dates though - as buds as well as flowers 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@brendaeves3236]

That’s stunning , I’ll definitely create a similar one with the hydrangea base when my climbing hydrangea blooms in a few weeks. Thanks again !

[@peggybernett9545]

So beautiful!! It would be great to see the arrangements after2-4 days out of the cooler, especially with using the tender flowers. Just found your channel about a month ago. You’re a Master! 💐🌷🌺🌹

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! Glad you have found us 😊 That# an interesting suggestion - and a good suggestion. In Scotland we didn’t use a cooler - but maybe further south it would be a good addition. 🌼🙋🏼‍♂️

[@blessedone772]

lovely

[@malaks.821]

I tried Hydrangea in an arrangement and it wilted in only day. any advice?

[@FlowerJoos]

malak S. yes, hydrangea can be a problem, especially in floral foam. Best advice is to really condition them well in advance of use, so the6 are fully hydrated. Ideally use in water rather than foam - so that depends on what you have to make! If for a wedding I would try and use them on the day rather than in advance, keep somewhere cool, mist with water - and some are better than others for lasting. So I find the green and coloured later season types are much better than the softer summer pastel ones - but that doesn’t help if you are doing a wedding!

[@BenJimenez-in9hj]

Delightful

[@Samajo1000]

How long do arrangements in foam tend to last?

[@FlowerJoos]

Polly Conner it depends on a few factors - the varieties of flowers used, the season, and the ambient temperature - so in summer it’s warmer so flowers will last less time. If an arrangement is watered every day then this is the best way to help the flowers last. I would want flowers in foam to last a week if possible. Using a knife instead of scissors gives a better cut, and a cut on an angle allows more water up the stem. It al, adds up - the more you do the better they will do!

[@goldflowersmanflowers4550]

Nice

[@goldflowersmanflowers4550]

Nice

[@TSD0416]

I wish I could see the arrangement once the Poppies have opened up :)

[@FlowerJoos]

TiggyStardust this arrangement has been so popular - I think the different flowers really appealed to everyone.

Beautifull!

[@1lovewaters419]

Where can I find these kind of beautiful flowers?

[@YvonneCampbell71]

Most of us only have access to purchase flowers from a supermarket. Where can we get such flowers that you use in your videos and also foliage?

[@Draggonny]

Astilbes and hydrangias are usually sold in supermarkets as potted plants rather than a cut flower so may be more expensive but achievable. Poppies are not really sold in supermarket bouquets due to their short life as a cut flower so check out the other comments for potential substitutions. If you don't have a garden you could keep a few houseplants such as a bowl of hyacinths in spring to give you access to garden varieties in season.

[@goldflowersmanflowers4550]

It’s amazing

[@FlowerJoos]

Gold flowers man Flowers thank you for watching 😀

[@TheTreble2clef]

WOW!! HOLY!!

[@FlowerJoos]

TheTreble2clef why not give some of the designs a go? It's fun 😀

[@gracelisnal7120]

Hello, I love this arrangement, It is stunning. Could you please help me, my daughter would like a wedding bouquet of Astilbe how many stems do you feel should be used?

[@FlowerJoos]

Grace Lisnal Hi Grace - thanks for your comment. It would depend on the style of the bouquet that she would want. If just astilbe then you would need a good 30 stems I think just in case they are not heavy, but a good suggestion would be to use a base of foliage to work the astilbe through, so then about - 15 stems would be fine. This is making a hand tied style. The time of year and the general size of the material can vary from year to year, so I would always err on the safe side and have more than you actually use so you can pick the best of stems.

[@gracelisnal7120]

Thank you so very much for your help, I love your work
