Hi Tracey, in Canada we call those white flowers, Sneezewort, it is a yarrow. It is used sometimes as a "baby breathe" type filler in arrangements. Love your show

Enjoyed watching Tracy. Well done 😀👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much 🙏🏻😊🤗

My hydrangeas are just coming out in New Zealand. Going to try to dry some.
Yaaay!!!🌸 Always best to wait until they are just about to go over so enjoy them on the bush first😊
Thank you for the great ideas!..my favorite as always are the hydrangeas but can’t grow them here, I live in the desert (Southwest Texas) maybe I can get on Etsy and buy them!
You are so welcome! I wonder if you could grow them indoors, out of the sun and heat? 😊🌸
You’re my favorite RUclipsr right now. ❤️ Love from Texas
Ah bless you!🙏🏻Much appreciated 😊
Wow, so happy I found you ! I love your style of decor , reusing … I also plant and love hydrangeas… can’t stop watching your videos.. 5 years ago I moved back to my home and looking for inspiration for decor
Hello and welcome! Delighted you found me! Hope I can give you some ideas and inspiration 🙏🏻😊
If you let a few parsnips run to seed not only do they make an amazing show in the early summer( an idea nicked from a Cleve West Chelsea garden) they dry easily by the hanging method & make lovely large decor in huge vases. See
What a brilliant suggestion! Thanks so much for sharing 🤗🥰
😅i was so excited to see your arrangements.I have collected thrifted21 mirrors since I found ur channel I white wash a few.Placiing them is interesting i love to change them around.
Oh wow! That’s a great collection! Delighted to have inspired you 🤍🤍🤍
Another inspiring video Tracy. Loved all the flowers 💐 🌺 the hydrangeas and the broom broom 😅 I can’t wait to purchase our new home in Uk as soon as we’ve sold one of our houses in Portugal 🇵🇹 I do love the different weather’s you have especially Autumn and winter snow, which is something we don’t have here in south of Portugal 🇵🇹. Love your beautiful pink dress by the way.❤
How exciting Lina! Will you divide your time between the 2 countries? It’s not been a great summer here this year, wish I could have spent it out there! 😎Thanks for watching lovely 😊🥰
@RuralRefurb your welcome 🙏 i love your home and grounds, and it's so beautiful that it reminds me of a step back in time. Yes, we have 2 homes here a townhouse and a villa, and both have been put up for sale. Looking into buying around hampshire area and living in uk and Portugal 🇵🇹 xx
@@linashomecreations1696 oh you’ll be near me then! 👏🏼
Восхищаюсь вами!!!Вы такая классная!!!!Как здорово у вас всё получается!Я сделала очень много декора по вашим примерам!!!Спасибо вам огромное!!!
I’m so delighted to be inspiring you! Thanks so much for tuning in! 🙏🏻😊
I wish I had giant size Hydrangeas to dry. I have one in a pot so I get small ones but they are still pretty. Love your natural garden. I would never be inside !
They are Annabelle that I cut down each year so the heads come back large! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻😊
Que precioso video, como todos los que haces pero este en particular a sido como poner colirio a mis ojos, que belleza de flores, plantas, helechos a mi me encantan las flores y las hortensias son una de mis favoritas, también me gustan las orquídeas , este canal se a convertido en mi favorito, le pones alma, corazón y vida a tus videos y eso cautiva a toda la audiencia que te ve
Oh that’s so lovely of you, thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏻🌸🌿🤗
Hi, my name is Kasia, I live in Poland and I love your vlog. You have amazing garden with beautiful white Home. Congratulation!!! :-)
Thank you so much Kasia! I’m delighted you are enjoying the channel lovely😊😊♥️
TQ 4 sharing ur simple tips & beautiful kitchen courtyard💚🩵🤍. I luv shopping Mother Nature 🌼🌿🌾too. Where did ur pink dress come from? So breezy🩷
Thank you for watching! The dress is quite old and I cut the label out, sorry 🤦🏼♀️
I love to dry hydrangeas also......do you have cattails where you live? You offer such great suggestions...
Ah so pleased you enjoyed the video. Cattails?? Oooh I’ll have to Google that as I’m useless with the names of plants 🤪
Beautiful ❤
I love hydrangeas, but here in north Florida I’ve never seen anything like that before, they are incredible in color and size. Mine bloom in May and they don’t last but a few weeks.
I’m wondering also do you have snakes, poisonous ones? You must not the way you’re walking through all the high grasses.
It’s truly beautiful there.
You are very blessed.😊
We only have 1 poisonous snake in the UK and that’s the Adder… only 14 people have died from Adder bites in the last 145 years in this country!!!! So I think I’m ok 😃Thanks for your question though 🤗🥰
@@RuralRefurb well, God knows we have them in north Florida. One week ago my son killed a rattlesnake. We have a farm and we need to be very careful all the time, we have many different types:( so we keep the area around us mowed.I Enjoy watching your channel.
And watching , escape to rural France. That’s an amazing young man. I don’t guess I’ll live long enough to see him finish his château.
@@dulcerush735 gosh that must be a constant worry for you, no wonder you keep the grass short! 🐍😱🥰
The little white flower looks like Achillea 'The Pearl' or Achillea 'Noblessa White' perhaps.
Ooooh thanks for that! 🙏🏻😊
you're welcome @@RuralRefurb
Beautiful. Looking forward to how you use the dried florals.
Thank you! Not long now for autumnal styling🍂🍁🤎
I enjoy your videos. I moved in a house that has several Hydrangea bushes. I tried to dry some but they fall apart after drying. Would you know what I am doing wrong? Thank You
How lovely that you’ve got well established bushes there, just be careful to pick them at the right time and when dry maybe try hairspray. I often spray paint mine which helps with the shedding. Also I think it depends on the type, Annabelles shed quite a lot whereas mopheads don’t tend to IMO 😊🤗
I can’t grow hydrangeas where I live. Can you dry the ones from the florist?💗
You could try but they may be too fresh. I’d put them somewhere cool and dark to try. It’s best to pick them for drying when they are just going over on the bush 🥰
I used glycerine for holly leaves and it kept them very subtle but darkens the leaves
Ooooh never tried it with holly! Thanks for sharing 😁
Hi Tracy, I messaged you a few weeks ago about magnolia leaves in your winter display, you told me that you wax them , what wax do you recommend & would I be able to spray them silver etc & wax after ,
Love your channel

Ps we live on the edge of a forest, so will be hunting down pine cones & twigs
Love ❤️ Light 🕯️& Angel 😇 Blessing 🙏🙏
Hi Jacqui! Definitely colour first then wax. Here is the link to the wax I use😊Annie Sloan White Wax:

Sorry Jacqui that was the link to the white wax, for the leaves I use the clear!! My bad🤦🏼♀️
@@RuralRefurb
That’s ok thank you very much , hope your enjoying garden & being out in the sunshine 🌞
I definitely am xxx
@@jacquiwhitehouse2924 😎🙏🏻🥰
Hi, I live down the road from you & I love your posts, I don't know what I am doing wrong, after cutting the hydrangeas, I have tried Hanging and putting them in a vase, but they just wilt, where I'm I going wrong? Help please. Viv
Hellooo!🙌🏼You are probably cutting them too early when they have too much moisture in them. Best to cut when they feel papery, starting to dry on the bush😊🌸
Get the APP on your phone, the one that you take a pic and it gives you the name of the flower s😅😊I see my self in you!❤
Great idea!! Thanks so much! 😊
Google Lens does the same thing.
dear Tracey, how do you properly dry bulrushes or cattails? I have tried but they all explode on me :(
you are probably picking them too late, they need to be picked as soon as they turn brown, just after pollination, then remove any foliage, hang upside down somewhere dark and cool with little humidity then after a few weeks spray with hairspray and display. It’s the same with hydrangeas, when you pick them is key! Hope that helps 🤗
I used step1..
How do you to them from crumble and shedding
I think it’s down to picking them at the right time, drying in a cool dark space and sometimes I use hairspray😁
@@RuralRefurb Thank you your Home is very Beautiful 😍
What is that green hydrangea called?
Annabelle 😊
If you spray the bulrushes well with hairspray as soon as you pick them, they won't explode 😊
So true! The power of hairspray! Just wish I’d done it as soon as I’d got home!!!🥴
I think the name es Broom bloom😂
they look like cat tails. the brown sticks with flyaways there.
To find the name of that flower take a picture with Google camera and it will give the name .
Great advice, thank you 😊
