Thank you and all of those who support Ukraine! I am Ukrainian, and I stayed home. I cannot express how much your help and support means to us. I am not a florist, but I really enjoyed all your videos just for your positivity and amazingly beautiful bouquets! Also, I would like to thank you for all the handy tips and information. This year we are trying to grow more produce (our part of the country is relatively safe), hoping to help with food for the displaced families. This video is the first one I watched since the beginning of the war. Knowing that we have so many friends - makes the way easier. The light will win over darkness. Thank you!

I'm sorry to be slow to reply - I wanted to take a little while to think before saying anything - I'm so touched that with all that's going on you took the time to make a comment on this post and am very glad we've been able to help even in a tiny way - we also sent a day's takings to Unicef Ukraine and I'm sure there'll be more that we can do as time passes. BEST wishes, and you are all very much in our thoughts xxx

Thank you for raising my jam jar posey game and creating beauty and raising money for our friends in Ukraine, when the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket. So delighted I found you today. Greetings from the high desert Rocky Mountain region of the US.

You're a great Humanitarian!!!Little Posies are my favorite, I started selling a few of those types last year. I now have Muscari peeking through the ground! Waiting on Daffodils now! Maybe I can produce similar to yours. Thanks for all you do! I hang on to your advice, and use every word to help me get ready for Spring and Selling beautiful cut flowers.

These are the sweetest little posies, very inspirational to use what you have. Do you ever store your daffodils dry before bloom in the fridge?

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you so much - and to answer your question, no I don't. I cut them straight into a bucket of water, leave them to condition a while and then use them same day in a bouquet. Hope this helps x

[@honoregale856]

Absolutely beautiful. I hope they raised lots of money for this cause. Could you let us know where you source the jam jars? PS. Hair looks great! Have a good weekend

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you - £5000 raised! the jars come from @jamjarshoponline x

[@ruralangwin]

That tiny narcissus is called minnow.

[@theflowerfarmer]

ooh thank you x

[@GardenLifeChannel]

Thank you for the video! Do you condition the daffodils before arranging them with other flowers due to the sap that comes out of freshly cut daffodil stems?

[@theflowerfarmer]

no - I've never had any trouble with diffs and other stems together x

[@ilenehales7849]

The little daffodils look like a kind called geranium, but I'm not 100 percent sure. 🙂

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x - I'm hopeless at labelling x

[@ragnhildwadahl6171]

Narcissus geranium?

Wondering where you get the posie jars.

She said they're jam jars. I've found similar jars at dollar stores.

I get them from a company called @jamjarshoponline x
