Oh heavens! I can't even describe how beautiful that arrangement is! I've heard your background story about all the different types of jobs and college trying to find your calling. You prove every day that gardening is it. But there's so much more than that. One of the gifts God blessed you with is giving/sharing and inspiring. Well done! 😀
I wholeheartedly agree! God has blessed Laura with such a nurturing heart. She also helps us fall in love with variety, colour and movement. She’s got the nurturing heart of a mentor/teacher.♥️
I can appreciate the work that goes into the arrangement but I know I'd never have the patience (or desire) to do it myself. I'd probably just enjoy them in the landscape until it's time to dig 'em up.
Hi Laura,you are so blessed,every thing u plant comes alive.u have the gift that the good Lord has given u to b able to share with all💕so don’t feel guilty u are doing a great job ❤️stay safe and 😊 thank you
That's it...I'm coming over to help you gather some of those gorgeous flowers! 😉 I have been a florist for more that 35 years and the thought of being able to get out to my own garden and cut "my own" flowers to enjoy in my home, excites me! How awesome! My favorite colors are deep shades of oranges and golds....so when you say "Sahara" , "Terra Cotta" and "Brown Sugar"...my heart sings~♡~ I am intimated by dahlias but you make it look so easy! Thank you for sharing your excitement and energy...I appreciate you!🧡
Hey, speaking as a professional, what's your opinion on her arrangements? Any tips, comments, criticisms or suggestions for her? It would be interesting to hear/read from a professional perspective.
@@Bamboo4U2 I've been a designer for 10 years and I've tried to offer Laura some feedback and suggestions since her viewers are likely following her lead but unfortunately they don't seem to make it through all the comments. This design is a bit more balanced than the last one with the sunflowers, that one didn't have enough foliage and structure, the flowers were all be stacked and crushing each other. This one is a beautiful palette but the use of foam means you can just stick the flowers wherever and in my opinion you don't really learn how to build well designed pieces. Designing really requires a methodical approach to building a palette of shapes, textures and foliage to act as an armature for the special flowers. You also use a lot more flowers when using foam so it's wasteful besides being not great for the environment. I personally think this design is too tall and blocky for the size of the vessel and think it's a vessel better suited for a lower, wider centerpiece style design. I don't think Laura means for these to be instructive but it would be nice to include more information on designing well made arrangements, not just pretty and I would like to see less foam which late summer flowers really do not like at all. In my experience dahlias don't make it more than a day or two in foam, it causes air blockage. But like chefs, there are all kinds of floral designers and my style/taste is certainly not for everyone. I would have used the hyacinth beans and actually recently did in one of my designs cut from my garden.
@@Sullivan_Owen almost everything you said about the foam I knew or intuitively understood except the air blockage. I knew nothing about that. Good to know. The other, more esoteric elements of design (scale of the vessel, structure of the design and the palette selection) are completely lost on me. That's when I started doodling and wandered off in art class, lol. I do have an appreciation for the art of it. I'm just lost on...well, nearly all of the composition. Thanks. Great to hear/read from a professional.
Sullivan Owen thank you for saying something about the hyacinth beans. I’m not a pro but I have made flower arrangements and bouquets for friends, events and weddings. I would’ve added the hyacinth beans to the arrangement also. It gives such a nice contrast to the color selection going on in the vase. I do think the pedestal that the wooden bowl is sitting on gives it enough height to appreciate each flower in the arrangement because it’s allowing light in. Probably better for how it looks on camera. I do appreciate you stating that more flowers are needed for an arrangement that’s lower. I too appreciate learning that the air pockets in the foam may shorten bloom time. Thanks for your input. 🙏🏻
@Sullivan Owen Laura has made videos about how much she dislikes foam and told us of the danger it is to the environment. Laure prefers to use a wire or other woven or bunched up chicken wire frog. Positivity is Laura and Aaron’s goal, which they achieve every video. Growing up in our house we had what was called the Thumper Rule which goes like this: If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all!!!
Today I am 8 months from getting married to my future husband and we will be looking for a house in a couple months! I've already been dreaming/visioning my landscaping and garden at our firat home and I am really wanting to plant some Dahlias and Zinnias! Your work is such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
@@Bamboo4U2 yes we get precipitation. I'd say more so in the late spring "April showers bring May flowers". Can have some rain in the winter. Varies. Sometimes I feel like some weeks we could get all 4 seasons in one week lol
Three things: 1. The fact that we are almost guaranteed a suprise cat in every video makes me so genuinely happy 2. I just love seeing the sunflowers peaking over the top of the dahlia patch too. Majestic. 3. I forget that you guys hit over 1 mill subs and it makes me smile everytime I see it haha such a lovely community. 💖 Still waiting for that pony tail video 🤣
Russel!!! He is a star! Beautiful garden, awesome dahlias. I always put your 75 flower bouquets give away, when I have a gloomy day. Makes me happy instantly. Thank you for your work!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous! I have been so excited to see an update on the dahlias. No matter how much you say that you aren't a florist...I disagree! Your skills amaze me!
It looks to me like she's been practicing this for years. I wonder if there are any professional florists among us who can comment on her arrangements.
@@Bamboo4U2 Does it truly matter? I think we know Laura is not a "florist" but the majority of us love her arrangements. Really she makes the arrangements for her own enjoyment and for her family. I did go over to the person that commented on her arrangement and have to say I love Laura's arrangements better. To each his own and we need to remember that Laura is not a professional and never pretends to be one.
@@willowingchintz does it truly matter you ask? Well, considering I ASKED THE QUESTION, I'd say (evidently) it does to me. Don't tell me what I get to ask of others in a discussion forum. It's weird, power-trippy nonsense.
I get as much pleasure from seeing Laura's genuine happiness with her flowers as I do the beauty of the flowers. I was trying to explain that to someone recently, that gardening is not just about the plants, but about the process, and the potential in everything we grow. What a great video to start the day. Thanks for that. :)
Just watching your cut flower garden encourage me to buy one acre land in the future so I can have my own cut flower garden as well as vegetable garden. The flower arrangement is gorgeous!!! Super love!!! You have inspired me in so many ways since day one I have watch your channel five years ago.
I ordered 16 tubers of Cafe Au Lait from Eden Brothers a couple weeks ago, and I can't wait to get flowers next year!!! I have never grown dahlias before, but I decided to give it a try. I'm also going to attempt to start a small flower farm on a portion of my one acre property. Even if I'm not successful in sales, I'm going to have so many gorgeous blooms that I can still enjoy 😊
I think the Cafe Au Lait was my favorite, I like the pure white varieties too. I have three purple varieties, two bloomed fairly well, but they are done now. The other one has fantastic foliage, no blooms. Strange.
That arrangement is perfection! The colors are stunning, I will probably add some dahlias next year. Can't decide which type of flower I like the most but those tightly curled petals are so different from anything in my garden. I have mostly peony, hydrangea, heuchera, hosta and sedum so a good variety of flower shapes and sizes. You are such a good influence on this amateur.
Oh Laura, you should be very proud of your gifts. Your are creative in so many different areas. I just love your flower garden and the gorgeous arrangement.
I see the 'director' is inspecting your work today, he's a real star. Laura, you make arranging flowers look easy. Mine never come out like that. (Grin) Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
So exciting! Just coming into spring here in Australia, and my dahlias are only just starting to put their little green heads above the ground. I only have about 10 plants, but can't wait to see them all in bloom over summer!
Such a wonderful job with the flowers! And the close ups from 16:30-17:00 were incredible... I could FEEL my blood pressure dropping. Have a lovely day 💕
All the different dahlias are gorgeous perfection. The arrangement is beautiful, once again. Thank you for sharing all this beauty! (And Russell...) 😍💚
Thank you for being such a inspiration! I never did flower arrangements ever before but after watching your videos for long time now. I go in my yard and find what flowers I have and trying to find different texture leaves and make my own arrangement and that brings so much joy to me but also to my family !!
Kiora from New Zesland 🌏 loved seeing all the Dahlias 🤗The arrangement is so beautiful 🌿🌺🌿 Bet your Mum loves coming to your cut flower garden and getting some blooms fof her place 😍
Love this arrangement! You are such an inspiration to my sister and I. We are in our 20s and both grew things from seed for the first time this year. It is so rewarding. Also I was pregnant last year with my first. When I forgot things I blamed it on “pregnancy brain” .
Gorgeous flowers, Laura. You showed some of them with spots of dust and that reminded me of all my flowers and veggies that are covered in ash from all the fires here in the Rogue Valley, and other parts of Oregon and California. We've got ash all over everything. (Sigh) But, my plants are still alive and I'm not complaining. I have family who lost everything to the fire; escaped in his vehicle with only the clothes on his back as the flames devoured his entire home. We helped other family members evacuate their homes last week, too; luckily, they didn't lose anything. I am grateful the fires are being put out, the smoke is going away, and the ashes will soon stop falling all around us. We could sure use some rain and drought relief here in the PNW.
Everything is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I was tickled over my couple of Dahlias. What it would be to have that many!! I am in awe of all your flowers!! You have inspired me so much!!! And I have learned so much!!!! Thank you!
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. Psalm 96:12. We have a great "designer" and Laura, you are making wonderful works of art with those beautiful flowers! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and creativity. A bright spot in my day.
Gifted & anointed hands you have there, Laura. You & Russell make me smile every single day. You're a superior gardener and a joy to watch. Keep up the great work! May God bless you & yours always.
Congratulations on your flourishing cutting garden, Laura and Aaron!You crafted a stunning floral arrangement, Laura! Your eye for color, texture, size, shape is admirable!
Oh wow what a way to start my day, coffee with Laura, and Russell along with such an amazing arrangement of flowers!!!!!!! You have such a good eye for combining color and texture with flowers and I love watching your arrangement building. Thank you for such a peaceful, beautiful way to start my day!!!
I feel so blessed to get to watch your videos and learn so much from you Laura, I got excited when you said you have tons of more flowers to cut and make bouquets, looking forward to more videos on bouquets and flower arrangements!
Laura, thank you! Knowing I’m not the only one who can’t remember the name or variety of what I planted is CONFIRMATION! I also appreciate you sharing how you staked your dahlias. What I attempted this year was not the right answer. It’s nice to see alternative methods. Love your channel.
I planted about five or six dahlias this year and I am totally enchanted with the flowers. The colors the structure they are just amazing. And now it's fall and when nothing else is blooming except my zinnias and salvias these are just absolutely stunning. I definitely want more for next year. I am in my sixties and my father and mother always had dahlias and I never paid attention to them and now I'm totally hooked.
LAURA, THE ARRANGEMENT IS GORGEOUS!!!I love the warmth of the colors 😍 You have made me fall in love 😍 with dahlias, that cafe Ole is so beautiful . I hope your smokey air is starting to get better. Take care and God bless you all.
I love your freestyle way of arranging flowers 💐. I think what is available in the garden makes you rethink how to arrange them. Lovely ! The music in the background took me back to college when all our friends played various instruments together and it was a great memory! Thanks
such a beautiful place to live....i hope someday i’m gonna have this kind of thing but not as big garden as yours...you are such an inspiration to me and everyone else...more videos please😉😘😘😘
Your Dahlia's are absolutely beautiful!!! I grow Dahlia's in California (9b), though, it's been a struggle this year with such a long stretch of triple digit days and nights without a breeze that my plants developed powdery mildew. Then, just when I thought I got it cleared up it's back again and again. Yours made me realize its all worth the challenges. Thank you so much for focusing on your Dahlias today... I really needed it. You are a rock star!
Dearest Laura, My Mum would love you as her daughter. When I was a little girl, I asked my Mum to cut some flowers out of her garden so I could take a bunch of flowers to my school teacher. She said no, only because she couldn't bring herself to give up her flowers. Anyway, I was crying on my way to school because of it, and a lady up the road whom was outside and had a garden full of blooming roses asked me why I was crying. I told her and she said that she would have a bunch of flowers ready for me to take to my teacher the next day. It was massive. And so beautiful. But, it wasn't until decades later that I realised my Mum would have really appreciated those gorgeous flowers herself x
What a stunning arrangement! Gorgeous! I have to say that I personally adore the cactus dahlias and those with more pointed petals far more than the more compact, tightly petalled blooms for some reason. I think, though, that is a style. My garden is a bit on the wild and carefree side, while yours is more structured , so everyone has their preference. I DO, though, admire your style ALL. THE. TIME.! I could lose myself in your videos and admire all the hard work, knowledge and dedication you and Aaron put into your outdoor (and indoor, too) space. I am inspired daily!
I just planted my first dahlias I’m so excited but nervous I did them to close. I didn’t realize they get so tall. One day hoping to have a cut garden like yours
Absolutely brilliant! I just love that you put all the different dahlias and flowers together and what a stunning result! It looks a lot like the arrangements I drew and painted in art class. You’ve definitely got an artists eye. Your arrangements all have such great movement. I can’t wait until we move to Idaho and I check out what all I can plant there. Laura, your an inspiration to me! If I can get just a quarter of your success I’ll be over the moon. You’ve inspired me to get my Master Gardeners license. I can not wait!! Thank you for all you and Aaron do to nurture the love of all different plants and our green thumbs. You guys ROCK!!!!♥️
And to all those who habitually rant about how much money Laura spends on plants (despite this being her business), this was probably the least expensive (cost-wise) arrangement she's ever done. Sure, there was the cost of the infrastructure/investment of the drip tape and staking materials but they're all reusable. Next year, her only costs would be seeds and new tubers, if she likes. I'm not big on dahlias but the pom-pom variety is spectacular, at least from a geometric perspective. It's remarkable nature creates such perfect structure in flower blooms, huh? Can't wait for the tree-planting video....
@Ella Blun She's been attacked many times for the amount of plants she buys. The fact that you use the term 'filthy rich' shows that you're jealous. Why on earth do you care how much property she buys? Five acres is more than some have but much less than others. What does it matter to you? And your comment about getting paid to defend her?...Get a grip, woman.
Just like fruits and vegetables harvested from home,it is equally satisfying to get home grown cut flowers too. The dahlia video was superb.wish you'll upload one more video when they are in full bloom.

What a beautiful arrangement. Your flowers are just lovely.
I love the bachelor's buttons and the celosia! The textures add something special to the softer flowers. I really enjoy the overall structure.
Talented Laura, that was beautiful, EVERYTHING!!
I planted about five or six dahlias this year and I am totally enchanted with the flowers. The colors the structure they are just amazing. And now it's fall and when nothing else is blooming except my zinnias and salvias these are just absolutely stunning. I definitely want more for next year. I am in my sixties and my father and mother always had dahlias and I never paid attention to them and now I'm totally hooked.
You make the most beautiful arrangements. The colors are gorgeous.
The bees are going to town in your flower beds, that's awesome! Beautiful flowers!
Watching from Philippines.What a beautiful flower arrangement Laura.😍❤
Gosh...can you get any better? Absolutely stunning flowers, the best music and a beautiful arrangement. Thank you.
Russell just came for a little loving lol
LAURA, THE ARRANGEMENT IS GORGEOUS!!!I love the warmth of the colors 😍 You have made me fall in love 😍 with dahlias, that cafe Ole is so beautiful . I hope your smokey air is starting to get better. Take care and God bless you all.
Beautiful composition and structure in arrangement.....you are gifted, my dear! Lovely🌲🌿
I love your freestyle way of arranging flowers 💐. I think what is available in the garden makes you rethink how to arrange them. Lovely ! The music in the background took me back to college when all our friends played various instruments together and it was a great memory! Thanks
such a beautiful place to live....i hope someday i’m gonna have this kind of thing but not as big garden as yours...you are such an inspiration to me and everyone else...more videos please😉😘😘😘
That celosia and those snapdragons just ......incredible. You have a wonderful eye for combining colour and texture.❤️
They are beautiful.
Your Dahlia's are absolutely beautiful!!! I grow Dahlia's in California (9b), though, it's been a struggle this year with such a long stretch of triple digit days and nights without a breeze that my plants developed powdery mildew. Then, just when I thought I got it cleared up it's back again and again. Yours made me realize its all worth the challenges. Thank you so much for focusing on your Dahlias today... I really needed it. You are a rock star!
Dearest Laura,
My Mum would love you as her daughter. When I was a little girl, I asked my Mum to cut some flowers out of her garden so I could take a bunch of flowers to my school teacher. She said no, only because she couldn't bring herself to give up her flowers. Anyway, I was crying on my way to school because of it, and a lady up the road whom was outside and had a garden full of blooming roses asked me why I was crying. I told her and she said that she would have a bunch of flowers ready for me to take to my teacher the next day. It was massive. And so beautiful. But, it wasn't until decades later that I realised my Mum would have really appreciated those gorgeous flowers herself x
Wonderful story. I love that.
You genuinely seem over joyed at how great everything is growing😊 Love your talent and enthusiasm, seeing Russell doesn’t hurt either 💐🌸🌺🐈

What a stunning arrangement! Gorgeous! I have to say that I personally adore the cactus dahlias and those with more pointed petals far more than the more compact, tightly petalled blooms for some reason. I think, though, that is a style. My garden is a bit on the wild and carefree side, while yours is more structured , so everyone has their preference. I DO, though, admire your style ALL. THE. TIME.! I could lose myself in your videos and admire all the hard work, knowledge and dedication you and Aaron put into your outdoor (and indoor, too) space. I am inspired daily!
Laura : "You can see the drip hole..."
Russell : "Ha! Not anymore!"
Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers and day.
Just beautiful! I want to try a “small” area of these next year, so pretty!
That bouquet is 🤩😍🤩🌱🌱🌱
I just planted my first dahlias I’m so excited but nervous I did them to close. I didn’t realize they get so tall. One day hoping to have a cut garden like yours

Laura you have a great eye for floral arrangement design. The dahlias are gorgeous and Russel is a scene stealer. I enjoy your videos everyday.
Amazing growth! Russell is fun! I’m going to try drip tape next year!
Gorgeous as usual.
russel be like "pay attention to me"
Russell: "Where is it? I think I may need glasses."

Absolutely brilliant! I just love that you put all the different dahlias and flowers together and what a stunning result! It looks a lot like the arrangements I drew and painted in art class. You’ve definitely got an artists eye. Your arrangements all have such great movement. I can’t wait until we move to Idaho and I check out what all I can plant there. Laura, your an inspiration to me! If I can get just a quarter of your success I’ll be over the moon. You’ve inspired me to get my Master Gardeners license. I can not wait!! Thank you for all you and Aaron do to nurture the love of all different plants and our green thumbs. You guys ROCK!!!!♥️
And to all those who habitually rant about how much money Laura spends on plants (despite this being her business), this was probably the least expensive (cost-wise) arrangement she's ever done. Sure, there was the cost of the infrastructure/investment of the drip tape and staking materials but they're all reusable.
Next year, her only costs would be seeds and new tubers, if she likes.
I'm not big on dahlias but the pom-pom variety is spectacular, at least from a geometric perspective. It's remarkable nature creates such perfect structure in flower blooms, huh?
Can't wait for the tree-planting video....
@Ella Blun you kinda just proved my point, lol. Thanks!
Kisses,
Jake
@Ella Blun She's been attacked many times for the amount of plants she buys. The fact that you use the term 'filthy rich' shows that you're jealous. Why on earth do you care how much property she buys? Five acres is more than some have but much less than others. What does it matter to you? And your comment about getting paid to defend her?...Get a grip, woman.
Just like fruits and vegetables harvested from home,it is equally satisfying to get home grown cut flowers too. The dahlia video was superb.wish you'll upload one more video when they are in full bloom.
NAMASTE LAURA I WISH YOU MAY BE SAFE .LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳
So beautiful. You should be proud.
