[@anuja7564]

Nice informative video. But missed seeing the flowers.

[@sweetakhadgi8077]

I would have loved if you would have shown which flowers you are talking about 😅😅 cause for nongarderner like me remembering which flower is which is bit difficult... Other than that really loved the video

[@kingonyx2195]

Getting pictures makes the video more fun to watch too as the viewer sees what is talked about and by that actually understands more

[@dianac7113]

@@kingonyx2195 totally agree!

[@dianac7113]

Yes. I wanted to see the flowers that she was talking about too.

[@lisajelle714]

Yes, I was googling all the flowers as they were named off! And yet I also enjoyed the different farm backgrounds- beautiful. Looking forward to the sister video of flowers you won’t be growing next year, too! 😂

[@ioaname]

My thoughts exactly

[@NessaT419]

I was looking forward to seeing the pics of the flowers. I missed it.

[@katherinekelly4782]

Reviewing flowers without a picture of them is bananas.

[@jrockwood7764]

Thank you for the video. It would have been very helpful to have seen pictures as you were talking about each variety.

She's a busy woman making a living in a hard working way. This is tried and true knowledge and she's very busy so I'm so happy to hear from her anytime I can

[@carolynmoody9460]

Missed seeing a snap shot of which flower your speaking of BUT it's a joy to hearing your top 10.. Blessings ❤️

[@mirlamurillo3473]

I appreciate you showing infomercials that are not "junk." Thank you!

[@salpon]

Want to see pictures!

[@tracyduncan1331]

Would have loved to see pics

[@baileyanderson3318]

I’m obsessed with the rudbeckia🥳🥳🥳

[@fromthegardenchannel]

I definitely needed to see photos and or spellings of the flowers you're speaking on but thank you for the review!

[@katrienvh4289]

Nice vid. Would have loved some pictures next to the names, lucky there is google.

[@karenm5681]

I would have had a hard time choosing only 10 flowers too. The struggle is real! Tip for next year’s Top 10… you can add a lot of value to your video by showing a picture of the flower/foliage you’re talking about as soon as you introduce it. (True, we can Google search the pictures but most people aren’t going to take the time to type in the names of the flowers, they’re just going to be annoyed that you didn’t put a picture up because that’s what everyone else does, and that’s what people are used to seeing.) Also, the names of the varieties are important to get right if people are to look up pictures…Zowie, not Wowie. Roseanne Brown, not Roxanne Brown. That aside, I enjoyed hearing your Top 10!

[@louise9833]

They usually do that. I'm guessing they were in arush with the video. And if you have followed them through the years, you would know the flower they talk about - I do anny way ;)

[@healingbloomsfarm]

I also love the “Zowie” zinnia and Lisianthus “Rosanne Brown”, the antique color of miss Rosanne is classic and can be used in so many designs.

[@tarar6532]

Exactly, wrong names on purpose?

[@daniellebradley2728]

I wonder if she does do names wrong on purpose. Or maybe she has some sort of issue like face blindness but for names. She does it all the time. BakerS creek seeds, garden answerS. I don’t mind , I find her content and personality more than make up for it, but it does jar me every time.

[@daniellebradley2728]

Oh! Lisa MARIE Ziegler, instead of Lias Mason Ziegler. That one does irk me because keeping your maiden name when you’re married is not just some name you got stuck with, it’s a choice and I’m sure that being from her generation and the south she’s probably gotten other push back about it. I don’t have a horse in this race, of course but I wonder if if affects who sponsors her when there’s a decent likelihood she’ll get the name wrong. Again, I love this channel and don’t mean these as insults. Just food for thought.

[@ericamacnab6505]

Yes lol I thought there might be some new varieties that I didn’t know about! 😂 nope. Zowie and Rosanne.

[@elsajenels3076]

I can't explain it but I really enjoy you more without the fake background. I love the chaos background of the cats and kids. Great topic. Thanks!

[@phaedragardeness]

Hey Serena, I watch almost all your vids and almost never comment! So popping in to say hi. Love what you are doing! A lot of my viewers watch you also. We are very particular about what takes up space on our farm too xx Phaedra

[@marywilson4204]

Loved seeing photos of the garden! Also got a giggle from shirtless Ian in the background of one of the shots 🤣🤣

[@shelbysieber590]

Siskiyou Seeds sells a Dreamin Mix that is similar to Zowie but supposed to be taller. I haven’t tried growing it yet but maybe worth a try!

[@aprilteesdale3146]

Would have loved to see pictures of the flowers you were talking about. I was lost.

[@lululuna3209]

Add the picture of the flowers too

[@ally65432]

Great video, would’ve loved pictures

[@kele1264]

I ordered Zowie seeds from Johnny's. It really is a remarkable flower. I've learned more about flowers from your videos and livestreams in the last year than my entire life combined (and that's saying something). I appreciate the heck out of you sharing in detail all things flower. Have a great weekend!

[@daveswords2112]

Great video. How about the ones you wanted in the top 10 but had to cut. Always interested in your choices. fab channel

[@infinityy9964]

thank you

[@ggraham8751]

Thank you for sharing your list their beautiful flowers my only ask is if you could have included a picture of the flower. Enjoy your holidays!!

[@christinegray3840]

I enjoy your videos. I am here to add that a picture of each flower would have been ideal.

[@nancyschwartz5665]

Lovely list, just wish you had shown images of them while you were talking about them.

[@barbarafegley5566]

The nice thing this year for home gardeners is johnnys has smaller more affordable packets of the zowie zinnias available this year.

[@elliebrinley5694]

I love all this information, however I would love to see a picture of the picture you are talking about.

[@madonnaschmid7707]

Awesome info!

[@carolhendley760]

Yay! I’ve been waiting on this!

[@lokeshkathi]

Hello Ian & Serena, I heard about growing Tulips in hydroponics trays. If you have leftover tulips, may be you can try that for this/next spring. so, you may have tulips for valentines day. Just a suggestion, you might find it useful. Have a great holiday.

[@jenniferfitzgerald369]

Great suggestion!!!

[@francineschnereger8246]

You left us with a cliff hanger😂😂 You sell me many flowers and I'm all the way in southern California 😂

[@suzannehager7036]

I’ve missed you!!!! Thanks for this great video. I’m about to go online seed shopping to buy some of these I haven’t tried… that’s if your video didn’t sell out the supply! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. 💕🌺💕

[@gwenh7125]

Thank you for the video but I was very disappointed that you did not include pictures of your favorite flowers .

[@markt7663]

Great video! You have a wonderful and relatable way of explaining that showcases your passions. Looking forward to future videos.

[@ayelet517]

I’d love to see your top 10 with pictures of them both fresh and dried. If there is a top 10 of dried flowers, that are different than the above, and a discussion which are easiest to grow, dry, use, sell… I’m sure you will let us see what sold well at the fair. Catch your breath! Mexico is coming!

[@lisalapoint7022]

You should do another version of this video with pictures of the flowers and how they were used in your bouquets. I was missing pics.

[@rondianderson4402]

Great video! Thanks for sharing what worked best for you. I plan to try some out next season.

[@MeganSherow]

Love the coco marigolds, started growing them myself and I love the structure! Grew blue statice this year as well and the color is just fantastic 😊

Great list, Serina! Thank you. You've given me some exciting ideas here. I find that your bouquets are my overall favorites of any I've seen. You have a great aesthetic.

Miss, seeing the flowers 😪

[@leslienichols5268]

I loved this video! Food for thought!

[@bairet]

I just discovered your page and thank you for making such practical info for smaller beginner growers in northern regions. I’m a Wisconsin veggie farmer adding cut flowers and these videos have been super helpful! ☺️

[@warmgreenshade1210]

I fell in love with the Indian summer this year - it just produced like crazy and such big blooms. Potomacs are the first snapdragons I ever grew and I love them best, but I've never tried the Costa series. Gonna hunt down that apricot, I love anything 'buttery". Thanks for the list!

[@BrendaB7070]

I really enjoyed your video. I loved hearing about why you chose each of them for your top! I would have liked to see a pop up picture of each flower, but it really is ok, I can Google. I look forward to your next video!

[@valerieellis4236]

I looked at the pictures of the flowers on my phone as she talked. Then I could visualize what she was talking about. 😊

[@s44577]

Thanks so much for sharing your successes. What the two of you accomplish is simply amazing!

[@hajni78]

I think you should try the safflower this year.

[@ruthpullman5812]

Loved the info, but I need pictures and where you purchased the seed.

[@lisagee2789]

I already ordered 8 of your top ten flowers from Johnny's Seeds, just from watching you snip them out in the field. My favorite is blue lisianthus which received an honorable mention only. Maybe you could add links for folks just starting to grow their own cut flowers.

[@lydiamclaughlin7100]

I'll have to try the wowie zinnia!

[@magdapietrzak9031]

Thank you for all knowledge you share with us. You inspire me to grow more flowers next year. I bought pro cut orange seeds and benary zinnia in purple, lilac and bright pink for next year... i can not wait for spring.

[@Melissa-pq9cm]

Would have loved to see a pic of each flower you are describing especially since you are so specific about the colors. Also, the stud by the greenhouse when you shared about Zinnias made it hard to focus on zinnias🤣

[@patassion]

Love your videos here in Poco bc

[@danag2595]

I'm try to find wowie zinnia, but can't find it, only seeing zowie. Where are you getting the wowie zinnia seeds? sure would of loved if you would of shown pic of these flowers. Thx!

[@NicolesGardenNS]

She misspoke. Same with Roxanne brown, she was supposed to say Roseanne.

[@marykennedy3351]

IT Zowie Yelllow Flame. You can get it from Johnny's and Territorial Seeds is a few bucks cheaper. It's really expensive !

[@hellome12345]

Can you do a video like this but for dried flowers please!

[@solsticesummer982]

It’s always educational listening to you. I could picture in my head a lot of these.. but my 55 Year old brain missed a few. 🤓

[@ambergreen5531]

I was so exited to see a video from you this morning!! Bupleurum did really well for me last year but I can’t seem to grow statice.☹️ I’m going to keep trying!!

[@jeanettehawkins7472]

Is it Wowie or Zowie for the zinnia? Love your videos and this top 10 list!

[@Canadianbeagles]

She said Wowie, but internet on place of Wowie shows Zowie

[@marykennedy3351]

Yes it's Zowie Yellow flame😊

[@NancyKierstead]

I guess I don't have the patience to watch if I can't see the flowers. I just don't remember what a bipolurum is and that was when you lost me. Really missed not seeing the flowers in the background. You were describing them beautifully and I love how you describe your flowers, but I needed to see them to know what you were talking about. And I can't remember what a bipolurum is and don't want to look it up so that I can continue to follow along. Sorry!

[@NicolesGardenNS]

“Bupleurum”. That one is a tricky spelling! It should be pretty easy to find.

[@NancyKierstead]

@@NicolesGardenNS with the greatest of respect, not trying to be snarky, but all you pointed out is that my voice to text doesn't know how to spell the name of the plant. The point is that I don't know what the plant is. Even the plants that I do know what she's talking about I still need to see them to comprehend what she's saying. She really miss the mark by not putting the pictures in the background. She put the pictures in the background when she unboxed three dozen boxes of corns and tubers and plants a few months ago. She really should have put them in the background for this video as well. Just my humble opinion. :)

[@marykennedy3351]

@@NancyKierstead I hear you.. it's nice to see what she's talking about for sure. It's a filler plant with little yellow flowers on top. It's been on my list for months now. Much better to see. I'm so obsessed with flowers I know what she's talking about most of the time but still want a visual. Maybe she'll revise her video.😊

[@rollersnakes4942]

Awesome vdeo as per usual! It would be amazing if you considered doing a video on soil, and recommended amazing resources such as the books Teaming with Microbes by Jeff Lowenfels, Teaming with Nutrients and Teaming with Fungi. Think of the positive impact you could have by encouraging people to grow their soil AND their flowers :)

[@meganrhoden5386]

Yes!!! I second that!

[@emmaliboon4940]

Pls do not forget the flowers you are discussing. It will relate well to your subscribers. Visual helps to add interest on your vlog. Thank you.

[@NicolesGardenNS]

I think you mean ‘Rosanne Brown’ lisianthus and ‘Zowie’ zinnia, not Roxanne and wowie 😊

Yeah I've been googling intensively without results for 'Wowie' so I reckon you're right.

Next time could you put a picture up of each flower as you go through the list? Still appreciate the content.

Do you grow vegetables still? What product do you feed your veggies? Do you make sure it’s organic - whole - high quality veggie feed. Could you share? Thanks!

We use an organic granular fertilizer when doing our bed prep. We don't really fertilize much

[@Goalieman]

love you guys and your videos, but C’mon, who makes a top 10 list and doesn’t show the flowers!

[@kathyscheib3803]

Hey guys, love your channel. I’m curious about how the flower plants receive water when the plant base is stuck in a six inch hole in gardener fabric. So my question is, if you walk down the row with a hose, is that enough water for each plant. Doesn’t a lot of water just hit the fabric and run off?

[@bbuszmenkaa]

would you consider collecting your own zinnia seeds and planting them as a trial?

[@kathymakowski2411]

Do you sell any dried flower wreaths to ship?

[@brittneyemerson2079]

Zowie and Roseanne brown seems to be the consensus as I couldn’t find the others listed.

[@kellykilfeather]

Have you grown any alchemilla Mollis yet? (Lady’s mantle) Similar chartreuse/greenery vein to Bupleurum, but perennial. I don’t recall seeing any in your bouquets. Also stocks? There’s a lovely shade called Vintage Brown which might fill a similar colour gap as the Rosanne Brown Lisianthus. It’s got more of a pinkish hue, but it has a romantic old fashioned chic feel to it.

[@bathblooms]

I love Roseanne Brown! I blew my budget on Lissianthes seed and they didn't have her. I do have 650 seeds in 7 colours though ☺️

[@Dwynfal]

Great list Serena! Love all of these and I'm going to have to research Bupleurum which I don't know anything about! As a fellow Canuck I can tell your pronunciation is confused (joking), it's eh-pree-cot (English) or ah-bree-co (French). 😉

[@ayelet517]

love how you pop those pills!

[@gardengatesopen]

Great info in the video! And your hair is looking cute!! And the photos y'all chose to show are BEAUTIFUL!! I really LOVE that you're using the green screen!! But I gotta be honest- This time, there's some constructive criticism I think is important to share. Please take the following in the best way possible, I really do enjoy your channel very much! Even tho I love seeing the colorful flower farm pics, I first found myself wishing your green screen was showing the pics of each flower you were talking about. If you would've done that, I'm pretty sure I would've been able to stay on topic right there with you the whole time. Second, since the flowers you were talking about weren't being shown, here's what happened: I had to rely on my imagination to conjure up pictures of each flower. Luckily, I can do that. I'm familiar with ALL of them. Unluckily for this video, because my mind was wandering into my imagination as I conjured up what each flower you were speaking of looked like, I also kept on wandering into other flower subjects in my mind! So - that's when my brain would go off topic, essentially blocking out what you were saying. But that's on me! Call it A.D.D., Call it not having consumed enough coffee to fully follow a conversation yet, or call it whatever you want, but staying on topic with what you were saying in the vid without pictures, just wasn't happening for me. I think I only caught about 60% of what you said. The other 40% was me wandering off as I was "tiptoeing thru the tulips" with my own flower imagination. So all in all - I'm not complaining!! My own personal thought process on flowers during this video was a nice little excursion! I enjoyed myself very much! And just for the record, that's not my brain's normal procedure while watching videos. Podcasts - yes. Videos - no. Here's the thing- If this were a podcast, then this info was perfect. But with a video, my brain is relying on the visual stimulation of the subjects at hand. Maybe it's because I'm not a flower farmer that I need more visual stimulation to stay on topic? I dunno. I just thought I would let you know what was actually happening on my end during this vid. Otherwise, I thought the info I heard was full of good flower growing info. And as a home gardener, and long time viewer of your channel, I really do like you sharing this information. Thank You! ❤️

[@helenachase5627]

Do you grow lisianthus and ranunculus or buy plugs ?

[@zefcha4670]

it's been awhile now that you converted your farm to all flowers...how is it doing? do you miss vegetable gardening? have the bouquets been a financial blessing? its it following your 5 year plan or doing the same or much better? just curious.

Do you grow Stock? I'm really interested in that this year, and it seems to be something a lot of seed companies are into this year, too. Baker Creek has an amazing selection
