This is what I love most to see in your videos- harvesting beautiful flowers, giving tips in between and making gorgeous arrangements for the stand............
Yes, please continue the Q&A, you answer questions that I didn't even know I had while watching you create stunning bouquets....and now I have to buy another book! 🙄😉
Danielle, you are a wealth of knowledge. You're also kind, generous and thoughtful. Thank you for another video FULL of helpful information! The arrangement you were making was beautiful!!
Hi Danielle, thank you so much for sharing your experience so generously. I love how natural you act in your video, I have the feeling a friend is explaining things to me while doing her everyday tasks, and that’s really cool I think. I learn soooo much from you, your work is so valuable. 🌺🍀
Danielle, Your tips are so interesting and helpful!! The Q&A should be a regular event on your channel! One question for the next time -- when are you planning on writing YOUR book? You have so much valuable information to share. It would be a best seller. 🌻🌻
Hi Danielle, I have watched your channel for years now and I just have to tell you, you do an amazing job! I have learned so much from you! From learning about flowers, to learning about doing cut flowers in the landscape, being inspired from all the tours you do in your yard and all the other gardens that you tour, learning about how to space your plants and how many plants can go in a certain amount of space, to even learning about different books out there that cover cut flowers and an even designing floral arrangements. I must say, I've probably bought almost every book you've recommended and absolutely loved reading them over the winter! You are by far one of my most favorite channels to watch and I'm so glad that I came across your channel when I did! I do hope that you will do another q&a because I forgot to submit a question that I had and I would love to be able to ask you on the next q&a. Thank you again for being a place where we can come together as gardeners and learn and be inspired. And also thank you for introducing me to amaryllis. Because of you I now own over 20 amaryllis and I even bought more for this year!😊
Latisha! It sounds like we are kindred flower spirits! Thank you so much for this kind comment. I’m so thankful for you and that we could connect. What’s your favorite amaryllis variety so far???? Always room for a few more!!
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Yes, kindred flower spirits for sure! I have been gardening for about 5 years now and the first two years I was just buying flowers from my local nursery, and the 3rd and 4th years I was mixing in flowers from seed and still buying some stuff from the nursery, but this year I completely grew all my flowers from seed and nothing gives me so much joy than to walk around my garden and see all these wonderful flowers that I grew from little seedlings! Now I get super excited when I get a new pack of seeds. It's like the best kind of treasure! I think I grew approximately 4,000 flowers this year from seed ( some annuals and some perennials). I am from Paradise California and my zone is 9b so my growing season is extremely long which I'm very thankful for and the climate I'm growing in is very dry. Usually it's very hot in the summer, but this summer for us was just an absolutely perfect summer! And I did buy Lisa Mason Ziegler's book because of you as well and pretty much all the cool flowers I can sow in the fall here. I must say that I have also bought many many bulbs from longfield gardens because of your recommendation. And especially gladiolus. You have inspired me to plant and I really want one of those Costa ones but every time I go to order one they are always sold out. But I have to say the way that you talk about different flowers and why you like them and describe their coloring has really opened my eyes to different flowers I never even thought about before like the gladiolus. So the amaryllis (which I also bought the book that you mentioned about amaryllis) I bought from the company Colorblends ( which I believe is a bulk bulb company). I have purchased from them...Magnum, Marilyn, Rosie star, Bogota, double delicious, Rosalie, and stardust. Marilyn, is probably my most favorite from that company because it has beautiful white petals with a light green center and it's multi -petaled, which just kind of makes me think of Marilyn Monroe in a sense. I think it just represents to me femininity and it just looks so delicate. It's very stunning! But my real favorite was the very first one I bought after seeing your amaryllis and it just came from Lowe's I am not sure of it's name but it kind of looks like silver dream from that same website and the amazing thing about that particular bulb is that it generally blooms twice a year for me. It's kind of funny because it was the cheapest amaryllis that I've purchased and it's not the most stunning. But it was my first and it will always just kind of hold a special place in my gardening journey.
Danielle, yes, I like this format. I have to say I have learned so many things about flowers from your videos. I tried the hot water bath for conditioning dahlias this year and oh my, it is amazing how long the dahlias last in the vase now, as opposed to going over in just a day or two. Also the tissue removal of the lily pollen...I could go on and on. Thank you for all the information that you share in such a clear, concise way. Keep it coming. I watch them all.
Thanks, Danielle. The information on pests, diseases and where you grow things in your garden is so valuable. I love watching how you pick and prepare the flowers, then how you arrange them. I feel very peaceful, and learn so much, when I watch your videos. I live in Australia and love that I can “meet” someone with similar interests, from a country so far from mine 😊. Happy gardening!
I would love a monthly Q&A based on questions that came up in the comments of your videos😊 Videos about your favourite perennials and shrubs that are good for cutting and also nice in the landscape would also be great😊 I would love to hear about your experiences. Like a top 10 list and maybe also the 10 worst. I know you try not to be negative, but in this case, that might be really helpful for some of us newer gardeners😅 I love watching your videos😊 Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us Danielle😊
You can put them into dormancy now if you like! 2-3 months in a dark cool area with no water. I’ll be putting mine into dormancy before the months end.
So enjoy your videos. When you so lovingly talk about your grandmother and her garden, is how I would like my grandchildren to think of my garden. Thank you for sharing.
20 years ago I use to use this same technique for roses where if they started dropping you soaked them in water then put in fridge. Tulips are notorious for this too and you can do that with them as well. But mainly used for roses. Good tip.
So helpful. Thank you! Please continue to do this type of video. Watching you harvest, build a bouquet, and all the good nuggets of info. Just fabulous. Thanks again.
Hi Flower Friend!! Love this kind of video. Definitely do more! There is so much to learn when it comes to cut flowers. I know you have done many videos but it's always helpful to hear updates and new things learned.
What a fountain of information! Thank you! I'm in awe of you being able to give us so much information about so many flower issues and at the same time making such a beautiful bouquet!! Yes, please for more of these videos!
I really enjoyed this video, and I'd love to see more with this format and have advance notice to submit some questions. You're a fantastic resource and you have such a nice manner.
I've been hearing growers excited their zinnias last for a 1-2 weeks in the vase and I was shocked. 1st year growing them myself and they won't last 2 days no matter what I do.... now I know why! Thanks I wasn't expecting to figure it out today.
This was an amazing video! You manage to pack in so much info in such a clear and natural way. You are definitely my favorite Cut Flower RU-vidr! Thanks for all you do! I would love more of these Q & A videos.
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful information ! You are like book of knowledge! Your flower arrangements are absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoy watching your videos! Thank you! 😊💐🌺🌻🌸🌈🦋🐝
What a lovely, helpful video! I'm in Camp Hill PA and assume you're near Lancaster since you mentioned there being a lot of flower stands near you. I would love to start a flower stand in my area and feel encouraged that you're successful even when there are many others around you.
This video packed full of great information. I'm just getting started in planning and planting my cut flower garden. I would love more videos like this. Thank you and God Bless you!
I love all your videos, but this one was great as it answered a lot of common questions we, as cut flower growers want to know. Also, your videos teach (which is why I do RU-vid) :) This year was an experimental year for me and next year I've been asked to develop a cut flower garden on a farm. So that will be fun! Planning on taking Floret's workshop as well. I took Gardener's Workshop last year. I spend the winter learning (never lasts long enough), and work at a garden center spring through mid-December, make garden videos (appreciate your videos..I know the work that goes into them), garden in my own garden and try to grow my business. Never enough hours in a day! Love, love, love your bouquet at the end!
Your channel is just so good! I loved this video. Great to tag along while you’re cutting and get see all the beautiful flowers and learn all your tips!!!
Loved, loved all of the content you provided today! You are a wealth of information! Will be sowing some Hardy annual flower seeds this weekend for the first time. For a nieces wedding next May
The has to be one of the best videos I've watched on YT all summer (and certainly one of the most informative on cut flowers). Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom! I garden in the Pacific Northwest in a high humidity zone as well. My biggest challenge (and there are lots of them, from bud worms to aphids) is powdery mildew. I love roses but am considering whether it's feasible to continue growing them. And by this time of year, while the blooms are still beautiful, my dahlias' foliage is nearly white it's so covered in powdery mildew. I loved your advice on what cut flowers to grow in the landscape. I have been thinking about that a lot this month so the timing on your video was perfect. A million thanks for this!
I loved this video so much! Thank you! I can totally relate to wanting to learn more about growing cut flowers in your area and feeling like there aren't many resources. I learn a lot from you, Lisa Mason Ziegler, and Erin Benzakein, but adapting that knowledge to growing cut flowers in San Antonio, Texas is challenging. I'm grateful every year that I gain a little more experience and know how. Slowly, but surely. Also I very much agree with your netting strategy to keep out cats.
i have a backyard border and use a short less than 2' tall fence all around the edge for my dog. it also helps keep the plants up when they want to fall over the edge. Makes it look nice n clean.
Hi Danielle that was such an enjoyable video!! Great to hang out with you doing a q and a. Yes please do more like this one! Great advice as always. Prayers to the person picking up the bereavement flowers. 😍
Wow! This video was packed with all the great things that make your videos so valuable. Great information and inspiration. Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge. Watched you build the bouquet several times! Love seeing your gardens and how you work in them. Love it all.
Danielle your arranging is so artistic. I always learn so much from you! You’re a wealth of information thank you so Much. U.K. here and my first time with mahogany splendour, it wasn’t great in the vase and didn’t cope well with the little bit of sun we got this year. Your advice on those and the zinnia is something I will take forward. Thank you so much lovely.
That wilted dahlia trick! I've got to try that. Interesting about the zinnia types. I've loved the Senorita this year--it has bloomed all summer. The plant has started to look bad, but it continues to put out the blooms.
At 23:50 that was me 🙋🏼♀️asking if you’ve experienced ants on Pro Cuts. Most of mine get ants (I don’t grow the white ones either). I do dunk them after I cut them In Castile soapy water and that kills the ants but doesn’t hurt the blooms. It’s just quite a pain to have to do that. I guess my garden areas are just prone to ants! Thanks so much for this Q & A Danielle! More please! 🤗
Such a wealth of information!! Thank you Danielle, I love all of your videos and would really like a monthly video like this!! Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge 🌸💕
Yes! Please keep up these videos - sooooo helpful! I also love Baptisia and have been lucky enough to have a friend allow me to cut on hers. I started some from seed and it is not taking off at all. Can you divide it? Have you ever done that? I heard the root was a beast and difficult to dig up. Where did you get yours? Thanks Dawn!
