@@melp8175 I’ve heard of and have tried putting aspirin in the water. I’ve also heard that putting a little clorox (like a teaspoon) in the water to help keep it sterile helps. Finally, just changing the water every couple of days helps, and I have done this a lot with ‘simple’ flower arrangements, and it does help.😅
I had really serious doubts with that branch. I kept asking myself, "What the heck is she thinking?" But, wow, it is gorgeous! I never would have thought about using that branch or even those icicles that way. The icicles add such a magical touch to the arrangement. Beautiful arrangement!
We need a way to "love" your videos, they deserve more than thumbs up. I know I probably say this every time, but this is my favorite arrangement. I am always inspired by your ideas and have learned so much. I just wanted to thank you for that. I never thought I'd be anxious to get up and watch youtube, but here we are 🥰 Merry Christmas to your dear family and the entire GA community. 💚❤🌲🎅
I believe the pink roses was where Samantha Grace was smelling them, saying "uhumm" several times. Benjamin was at the end smelling one also. I believe it was on Facebook and Instagram.
Amazing! That is probably one of the prettiest flower arrangements I have ever seen! I can't even imagine how much that would cost at a florist. Beautiful!
I have never been a fan of poinsettias and now you've gone and done it. I LOVE it! Thank you so much for always helping me look at things in a different way and reminding me to have an open mind. Such a beautiful thing!
Awesome! I would never, in a million years, started with that branch horizontal. What a great use for leggy poinsettias. This is a great example of having a portion of supplies on hand, having some room to work, and letting your creative juices flow. Your home is looking so Christmasey and elegant.
Wow!!! Your arrangements are always gorgeous, original, and so creative!! And hanging a few ornaments from the branch is just brilliant!!! Thank you for inspiring us every day! 🎄💝💕
I still love how everytime I am just like. "Laura is crazy, that will never work." Then a few minutes later I am saying. "That is amazing. How does she do it?" This is an amazing arrangement. I wonder if you could do more videos on the principals of flower arrangements that you use.
You know, I am pretty old to just now see that poinsettias can be used as cut flowers. Thank you for always teaching us new things!! This turned out so beautifully! 💚💚👏👏🌲🌲
That turned out beautiful! The branch was a wonderful element to incorporate. Had no idea you could even use poinsettias in a cut flower arrangement. I will definitely be trying them out. Thank you for this new tid bit of information. Happy Holidays! 🌲☃️
We now have hard evidence that Laura truly makes magic. She won the TriWizard Tournament and keeps the TriWizard Cup in her flower shed, hidden in plain sight.
Guess I’m going to get cut flowers this morning and poinsettias. I love watching your flower arranging videos. I don’t have your talent for it but each time I watch you and then do one of my own I get a little better! Thank you so much for sharing all your amazing talents with us.
This is definitely my most favourite arrangement I've seen you make over the years! Knocked it right out of the park Laura, wow!! That branch made all the difference & the icicles took it to the next level❤️ Practice makes perfect!!
Hi Laura I’ve been following for the last three years now, out of all the gorgeous flower arrangements you have created this is my favorite!!! Just gorgeous thank for the inspiration and for helping us think outside the box by laying that branch horizontally!
That's not only beautiful, it's stunningly original as well. I particularly love that you find such creative ways to make use of materials in your projects that many people would simply discard: the lilac branch, the bows from the bottom section you cut off the Christmas tree, pine cones, etc. Just brilliant!
This arrangement is gorgeous 🥰🥰 I would have never thought to use the branch the way you did Laura. Thank you for the inspiration. Merry Christmas GA family 🎄⛄🎄⛄
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🎅 🎄 🤶🇺🇸 You are really out-doing yourself. As a retired florist, I can say...WOW! You really impress me! Merry Christmas to all of our GA FAMILY 👩🌾👍
I have never loved pointsetta, didn't like the color nor the dry texture of it, but oh my, the pop of red in the arrangement is stunning, the white and the green complement it so well. This is one of my favorites arrangements, brilliant Laura. Gosh the talent you have is envy-inducing!
It looks beautiful in its final spot in the house. The champagne bucket adds that extra touch of light needed to make all the other colors pop! You have a gift of being able to forsee what you want and making it come to life❤❤
Wow wee! What a gorgeous arrangement for a grand entrance way , with a beautiful baby grand piano in the frame! This picture belongs in a home worthy magazine! Great job Laura! 👍
Your arrangements are to die for. When I first saw you with that big branch, I thought oh no Laura has lost it. But you never fail to amaze me with your gorgeous arrangements. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays🎄
Beautiful and creative as always. The branch on its side blew me away. The stock made pulled the arrangement together. It is my new favorite filler.Thanks for the tip about cutting poinsettias for arrangements!
I usually enjoy watching your videos in the morning with a cup of coffee. However, recently your videos have been helping me wind down at the end of a busy day with a glass of red wine. I’ve been watching your videos for two years now and have enjoyed watching how much you have accomplished with the new property. I can’t wait to one day own my own property to garden in. Thank you for being a part of my day! I’m wishing you and your family peace love and joy this Christmas season. ❤
Gorgeous!! Love love ❤️ the lilac branch! Also, I didn’t know you could cut poinsettia flowers and use in vases. Great to know how to singe the ends 😊 great video Laura!
Laura, now this is my most favorite floral arrangement you have made. So darn gorgeous and Christmasy. I just love it. God bless you and your precious family.
It looks PERFECT in there, and you’re right about the asymmetric shape giving it more movement! And with the icicles and the pointsettias it’s so Christmasy! 😍🥰🎄
Ms. Laura, using the branch was genius. Love the colors, flowers and the icicles. I have been watching this guy on FB using only a stem (spliced) or branch as a frog.
Laura, that arrangement is gorgeous, and the area you placed it in your home is beautiful! I'm loving these tutorial type videos you've been sharing recently! I learn something new each time. 🌿💚🌿 🎄❄☃
I never knew about sealing the poinsettia branch to make it stay longer. Thanks to the Garden Answer Academy! Wow as always, your arrangement looks stunning. I would have never thought of resting the lilac branch that way.
I didn't think all the flowers and other material you had laying on the table would make a very pretty arrangement. Then you started your magic. It's gorgeous!
What a beautiful arrangement today Laura. Love the idea of the branch just gives it a lovely touch yo your arrangement. Just a inspiring video today for all of us that watch your videos.
Your Christmas arrangement is simply gorgeous! Definitely shows it’s dramatic sides in its space! I love it! “Merry Christmas” to you, your family & to your subscribers!
Thank you for a year filled with beautiful gardens, flowers and ideas, you have cheered me up when I needed it and helped me get through lots of stress. My daughter, her husband and my two grandchildren (same age as Benjamin and Samantha) have moved to the US and starting tomorrow I get to start spending more time with them, I can't wait!!!
Amazing and joyful arrangement. The left over roses and berries in an arrangement in your piano area would be a thought. Roses and Piano's are such a wonderful combination. Thank you for all your inspiration. Merry Christ to All!!
ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!! This could be used for a Christmas wedding as well. Elegant for sure. This ( I believe) is your most creative ❣️. Merry Christmas to all of you.
I have always been drawn to the colored Poinsettias, this I went with Traditional, but this arrangement is gorgeous and I love the sparkle of the ornaments
GORGEOUS!!!!! What a stunning bouquet, love the colors, shape and the icicles on the side. You've outdone yourself on this project, looks wonderful in your house.
👋Good Monday morning, Laura and cameraman, Aaron!!! I LOVED the Felco commercial, right before your video started, of you gathering Winter supplies from your yard!!! I truly think it is an honor for you to be asked if they can use some of your footage for their (not just Felco) commercials! 👏👏👏 I LOVVVVVVE that lilac tree branch!!!! As usual, your arrangement is magnificent!!!😍🤩🤗🤗👏👏👏 Your decision to use the branch, was spot on!!!! Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night/week 🌞/🌜✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️ 🌐 everyone!!! Kimberley F in Avondale, Arizona 🌞🌵💞 USA 🇺🇸
I love to lesson to you talk about all type of flowers and shrubs and other things and you are the one have the best garden teacher’s out their. Thanks for are that you do to show others how to be the best gardener’s.
Hi Laura! The arrangement turned out beautiful. I love how you always manage to come up with something different that most of us would have never thought to do. Thank you so much for sharing!
Omg out all your flower displays over the year , this is by far my absolute favorite ..that arrangement is absolutely stunning....thank you for sharing
What a beautiful video. I really enjoyed it. Errands touch with a little bit of soft jazz at the end was lovely. It was nice to see where you place the arrangement for the overall effect. Great job Laura!
That arrangement is stunning and it looks amazing in that space. If it actually looks better in person then on camera I just can't even imagine what it looks like because it was gorgeous on camera. Are you going to take some still shots and put on Instagram? that would be great!
Of all Laura’s many talents, floral arranging is at or near the top. Never seen poinsettias used this way before, and it is stunning. 💕
Good morning fellow GA followers! I hope everyone is having a great day.
To you as well.
I always imagine all of Laura's followers getting together , think that would be so much fun !
Thank you you too☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Does anyone know of a DIY water preservative for fresh flower bouquets? Thx..

Me, too!! My look was 🥺🤔 when she laid the branch across the vase. But, as always with Laura, it turned out gorgeous!
Same!

Perfection. So Christmassy and yet so different. I love it.
The arrangement is spectacular!! Would love to see what you create with the leftovers!
I believe the pink roses was where Samantha Grace was smelling them, saying "uhumm" several times. Benjamin was at the end smelling one also. I believe it was on Facebook and Instagram.
Amazing! That is probably one of the prettiest flower arrangements I have ever seen! I can't even imagine how much that would cost at a florist. Beautiful!
Of all the arrangements I've seen you do, I think this one is the most beautiful. Love the icicles hanging from the branch!
Ditto above!!!
You always say you have had no formal training in floral arranging, but your floral arrangements are gorgeous! I love this one.
Once again, Laura does herself proud with this stunning arrangement! 💗
I have never been a fan of poinsettias and now you've gone and done it. I LOVE it! Thank you so much for always helping me look at things in a different way and reminding me to have an open mind. Such a beautiful thing!
I think the lighting in that room gives it a nice hygge feel to the arrangement. Lots of homely warmth and calm. Love it!
Awesome! I would never, in a million years, started with that branch horizontal. What a great use for leggy poinsettias. This is a great example of having a portion of supplies on hand, having some room to work, and letting your creative juices flow. Your home is looking so Christmasey and elegant.
Wow!!! Your arrangements are always gorgeous, original, and so creative!! And hanging a few ornaments from the branch is just brilliant!!! Thank you for inspiring us every day! 🎄💝💕
Original is a good word to describe how the lilac branch was added to container!
I still love how everytime I am just like. "Laura is crazy, that will never work." Then a few minutes later I am saying. "That is amazing. How does she do it?" This is an amazing arrangement. I wonder if you could do more videos on the principals of flower arrangements that you use.
Exactly!!
I thought the same thing - what are you doing with that branch?!? 2 minutes later…Never mind, I love it!
OMG! I would NEVER have had the creativity to put the branch in sideways like that. It turned out beautifully, I just LOVE your vision Laura!
You know, I am pretty old to just now see that poinsettias can be used as cut flowers. Thank you for always teaching us new things!! This turned out so beautifully! 💚💚👏👏🌲🌲
This is absolutely one of my favorite videos. Not only was it a pretty decoration BUT also an educational one. Thank You for the tips 🤶🎄🎅
Didn't know about sing -ging poinsettias!
I would be so tickled to have this arrangement in my home. From the gorgeous bucket down to the sparkly ornaments.....it makes a room shine.
That turned out beautiful! The branch was a wonderful element to incorporate. Had no idea you could even use poinsettias in a cut flower arrangement. I will definitely be trying them out. Thank you for this new tid bit of information. Happy Holidays! 🌲☃️

The elegance is just glorious! I could picture this in Victoria magazine or in Highclere castle❤️ Stunning Laura !
Stunning. Your Mom will be proud. 100% talent. Kudos Laura.

This is definitely my most favourite arrangement I've seen you make over the years! Knocked it right out of the park Laura, wow!! That branch made all the difference & the icicles took it to the next level❤️ Practice makes perfect!!
I really appreciate the final shot I side your house with the Christmas tree in the background. So beautiful!
Hi Laura I’ve been following for the last three years now, out of all the gorgeous flower arrangements you have created this is my favorite!!! Just gorgeous thank for the inspiration and for helping us think outside the box by laying that branch horizontally!
Oh my, the branch really gave it a great designer touch! Thanks for sharing.
My first thought was, “How are you going to transport that to the house, Laura?” Please share your tricks for getting it inside safely.
I thought that too! Especially the poinsettia when the temp is below freezing! It’s gorgeous!
Heated pickup truck is my guess
That's not only beautiful, it's stunningly original as well. I particularly love that you find such creative ways to make use of materials in your projects that many people would simply discard: the lilac branch, the bows from the bottom section you cut off the Christmas tree, pine cones, etc. Just brilliant!
Love that so much it is so festive and the best part is that it is different then what you usually see, beautiful❣️
This arrangement is gorgeous 🥰🥰 I would have never thought to use the branch the way you did Laura. Thank you for the inspiration. Merry Christmas GA family 🎄⛄🎄⛄
