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
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! 😂
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!
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 ;)
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 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. :)
@@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.😊
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
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.
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.
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!
I agree that showing the flower you are talking about would be very helpful. Also, I was getting motion sickness from all the hand waving and emphatic head bobbing. Perhaps try keeping more still as you speak?
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.
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!
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
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.
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. 💕🌺💕
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!
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!
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! ☺️
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.
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 :)
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!
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🤣
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! ❤️
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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.
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?
Great video. My favorite kind that you do. 😁 Honestly Johnny's should sponsor RU-vid influencers lol. Bet you they sold a lot of stuff after this video lol 🇨🇦Penny4a
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
Hey, your comments are turned off on your “soil block” video and have a question….where do you get those giant packs/bail sized packs of potting soil? I only know Home Depot or other types of stores and want to know where to go or to look for.
Thanks Sirena! Great recommendations. May I ask, which flowers do you stake? I'm thinking of purchasing netting for my flowers to grow up through. Growing: snaps, strawflower, zinnia, stock, clary sage, cin. Basil, calendula, flamingo feather celosia, rudbeckia, giant MARIGOLDS..and more. Thanks! Nicky from Victoria BC
I’m a huge fan of your videos. This one was missing pictures of the flowers and I didn’t care for the changing background. I didn’t care for the background at all. Even if it didn’t change I still wouldn’t like it.
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). 😉
