It's so wonderful that it was a young chap who wanted a sustainable bouquet 💐. Hope they loved it.

Yes it really was xxx

Gorgeous! That rose is so rich! It makes the bouquet!

Thank you so much! I’ve had such a hard week so far and needed some garden therapy. You inspired me to go out and collect whatever I thought I could use for a bouquet. I’m a brand new gardener & flower grower here in the Deep South, USA. It was nearly 90 today here near Tuscaloosa, Alabama-Zone 8. To say I have NO IDEA what I’m doing is an understatement. I’m shocked! I can’t believe I did it but I just smashed it all together and made one of the most beautiful arrangements I’ve ever made! Better yet, I put it in a carved pumpkin to give it that autumnal vibe. Much needed therapy! Thanks again! 💚

Oh I am so so delighted you have been inspired to make a beautiful bouquet- it’s such a brilliant time being a new gardener- all new and exciting- I don’t think it ever changes really- like you, my garden is a nurturing place - glad to say hello 👋

Missed your youtube videos. Welcome back. Thank you for this info.👍👏

[@fierceblooms]

Aw so kind of you 🙂

[@rosariogaray7734]

Great vídeo! Stunning bouquet!

[@fierceblooms]

Pleased to hear it was useful and you liked the bouquet 💐

[@ilsevanoosterhout482]

Thank you for this lovely and very useful video. And so kind of you to make this bouquet for this young Chap💚 you've inspired me, I will definitly try this weekend to make a bouquet with home grown flowers from my garden 💚

Splendid Ilse - let me know how it goes x

Thanks so much for this Kathryn. The bouquet is simply stunning - and it's heartwarming that a young man should want a 'natural' bouquet with locally grown flowers. It shows what the flowers (and the recipient) mean to him. Thanks for explaining everything - especially about succession planting and growing more perennials. I'm afraid my gladioli are getting succession planted whether they like it or not lol. I got the first lot of corms in this week but the rest of my orders are delayed because of our lockdown here in NZ. Take care :)

[@fierceblooms]

Thanks for lovely supportive note Jacinta. Interesting you are talking about gladioli and today I've been prepping a trench to plant another load of daffodils. Tricky to get your head around this northern / southern hemisphere thing ha ha.

Gorgeous thanks for sharing

[@fierceblooms]

oh thanks for saying Hannah.

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

I need to grow more lime green. Wow gorgeous

[@thewalledgardenflowerfarm]

Such a beautiful beautiful bouquet and that rose is stunning do you mind telling me which one it is please?😊

[@fierceblooms]

It’s timeless purple I think and I’m thinking of getting burgundy ice also - hope that’s helpful

[@samtaylor4289]

My dahlias don’t seem to last long in the vase do you have any tips and do you include plant food with your bouquets? Thanks, really enjoying your videos!

[@fierceblooms]

Thanks for your lovely comment- and yes! Cut with super sharp secateurs so you avoid crushing the stem and put into water straight away! So literally cut and dunk immediately- they have hollow stems so you have to avoid air pockets- and I never use plant food just very very clean vases - hope that helps

[@davegardner4050]

I find penstemon droop after a couple of days, do you have any tips?

[@fierceblooms]

Hello 👋 Dave I choose stems from a mature plant with flowers that aren’t fully open and conditioning them correctly is the key thing- I cut in the morning and leave for 24 hours - hope that’s helpful- where are you in the world?

[@louiseking]

I’ve just ordered some ninebark after seeing your autumn bouquet with the orange dahlia loved it,can I ask a question,how much do you charge for a bouquet?

[@fierceblooms]

Hi Louise ninebark is brilliant- where are you based? I only sell my bouquets locally

[@louiseking]

@@fierceblooms I’m based in Berkshire,just doing research as I want to start a cut flower business of my own

[@fierceblooms]

I charge £85 for a very large bouquet 💐- good luck with your business- do you have some space to grow?

[@louiseking]

@@fierceblooms yes a large garden and I have an allotment

[@fierceblooms]

ah love allotments - we had one when we lived over in Rempstone near Loughborough and had lots offun with it.
