- In this video I am making a summer bouquet with all the June flowers blooming in the cutting garden. We are also unusually in the middle of a heatwave for Scotland and it is difficult in this weather to get your flowers to last well when you receive them. I share with you my tips for getting flowers to last well in a vase.
Flower ingredients for todays bouquet include:
Snowberry and privet for foliage
Squirrels tail grass and briza maxima for grasses
Saponaria
Nigella
Dutch Iris
Gypsophila Covent Garden
Phacelia
Hesperis
Peony
Ranunculus
Corncockle light rose
Astrantia
Ladys Mantle
Orlaya
Eryngium

Todays video is all about how I make bouquets. As a self taught flower grower and florist my way of doing this is very much my own and I don't follow a particular technique, but hopefully you will enjoy the combinations of flowers I put together.

Stunning, I would love more of these videos showing how you put your bouquets together.
Thanks so much 😊 I would love to do some more videos on putting together bouquets over the next few months. There are a couple of others in my flower arranging playlist on my channel too.
Such a beautiful bouquet and you're so generous with your knowledge. My aim is to grow, create and give summer posies and maybe an autumn bouquet to my very poorly mum. Thank you so much.
Thank you 😊 that sounds a wonderful idea and flowers for your mum grown by you will be a very special gift.
Such a beautiful bouquet, I’m sure the recipient will love them. You must feel so proud knowing you grew all those stunning blooms to produce such a wonderful bouquet😊
Thank you so much. I love this bit of the job so much, seeing the tiny seeds grow into amazing flowers that you can use in bouquets and then pass on to others to enjoy.
Ur bouquets are a dream so please do keep us along every time u make one❤❤❤
Thanks so much that’s really kind of you. This week it’s a cutting lots of buckets for florists week and getting the sunflowers and cosmos staked properly before they get too much taller.
Hi Catherine, beautiful bouquet, thank you for all your top tips. Best wishes
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed this weeks video. We have just had some badly needed rain, so thankful this week there is not quite yet so much watering to do!
Stunning bouquet! I love your style and design! Very inspiring! I hope you received the much needed rain. After weeks of no rain here in the Southern most tip of mainland Canada we were welcomed to three nights of gentle consistent rain. xo
I am so glad you got some rain in Canada after a dry several weeks. We have finally had some thundery showers too which the garden was so badly needing. Thanks for watching this weeks video and I am glad you liked my bouquet 😊
Your flowers are beautiful and bouquet combinations is so pretty
Thank you so much 😊
Hello Catherine,another stunning arrangement.
Thanks again for you videos
Such heat here in Ireland for the past few weeks but now have more rain than we need!!
Collecting as much as we can for our next heatwave.
Beautiful choice of blooms.
Cheers

The heat has been unbelievable hasn’t it. Just so dry for an extended period of time and difficult to keep everything healthy and watered. But we have had quite a few torrential thundery showers this week which has helped and I am glad of the stakes and netting so the flowers don’t collapse in the rain. Thanks for watching this week Sharon and I hope you get a mixture of sunny days and rainy nights for the plants!
Excellent video, my wife and I just broadcasted this video on to our TV and sat and enjoyed it this afternoon as it was too hot to go into the garden. More enjoyable than any of the TV channels available.
Hello and thank you so much to you and your wife for watching and your lovely feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed it. I hope your garden is getting some much needed rain like we are this week after such a spell of dry weather.
@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm We are still out watering here In Berkshire as we have only had 1 day of rain, although it was heavy. We are watching our snapdragons, cornflowers and cosmos with some excitement this year as I pinched them out as you recommended and they are bushing out really well. We are hoping to use them in our local Village Show, the flower, arranging category, which I can tell you has some pretty fierce competition from ladies on the church flowers rota.😀
That's sooooo beautiful!! Love the texture!
Thanks so much 😊
Absolutely stunning
Thanks so much 😊
Super gorgeous what a treat for the recipient.
Thanks so much and for watching this weeks video. It is lovely working with so many varieties of flowers from the garden again.
Thanks, Catherine. The bouquet is gorgeous.
Thanks so much. Lovely to have lots of varieties of flowers to work with at the moment.
This is absolutely gorgeous!!!💗
Thanks so much, I am glad you enjoyed the video and flowers 😊
Breath taking!
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful bouquet!❤
Thank you so much 😊
Stunning!
Thanks so much 😊
Do you grow spearmint or peppermint and use the greens in bouquets? I cut some spearmint, conditioned it with only water in the fridge overnight and it has been really holding up in a bouquet, smells so wonderful, especially when I bump the foliage.
Yes it’s fabulous to use in bouquets isn’t it. I did a video a wee while back on the channel on using herbs is bouquets as I think they are fantastic. Mint definitely likes a good condition overnight and cut when not in very new growth to stop it wilting but if you do that it’s wonderful.
Hi Catherine fantastic video and stunning flower bouquet! Thank you so much for sharing.
I am also trying to grow Saponaria for the first time from seed this year. Wanted to ask if they are a one time cut or cut and come again? TIA x
Thanks so much for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it. Saponaria is just a once flowering annual so you need to keep succession sowing it every few weeks until July for flowers all the way through. It’s fast to grow though and really easy to sow from seed.
The bouquet is a piece of artwork. Thank you for taking us along as you built it.
I’ve tried growing eryngium from seed but haven’t been successful. Do you have any tips? Thanks.
Thanks so much 😊 Eryngium can be tricky to grow from seed as they can take some time and also like cold stratification. Popping the seeds in the fridge a couple of weeks before sowing or sowing them in the autumn when the natural cycle of winter weather and then warmer weather in the spring brings on germination. I have had most success sowing them in damp seed compost, just covering with compost and doing this in the autumn. My seeds did germinate in the autumn and I overwintered them in the greenhouse. If they hadn’t of germinated I would have popped the seed tray outside over the winter and in the spring they would have germinated when the weather warmed.
@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Thank you! It sounds like they get treated like a hardy annual then, as far as when to sow them. I did start some in potting soil ( compost), and I just put them in our basement on tue cement floor to see what happens.
Beautiful arrangement! What variety of peony is that white one? I grow a double white called My Love but I like the one you have there.
Thank you so much. The variety in this bouquet is Duchesse de Nemours.
My Orlya made a lovely show early, but now they have mostly frizzled in the heatwave. If I cut them back now will I get more flowers? Or is it too late?
Hi, thanks for watching. Orlaya is a cut and come again flower. I find that the new flowering stems though are shorter so tend to use them in jam jar posies rather than bouquets.
