Perfect Flowers for BouquetsPerfect Flowers for Bouquets
A bouquet of flowers can say so much. Beauty, emotions but if you are like me, a garden bouquet of fresh cut flowers screams, "Can you believe I grew this?!" Whether you give them as a gift or use them in your own decor, nobody can deny the magic that flowers bring. It is the best way to bring the garden into your home.
Cutting Standards
Flowers from A to Z can be put into a bouquet but some flowers prove to better than others. Strong stems are a plus, petals that won't droop instantly and vase time is a factor to consider. Don't be afraid to get creative with different flowers and foliages. Some of the best bouquets I have seen have contain hosta and astilbe foliage which is definitely not a norm.
The List Of Favorite Flowers for Cutting
There are many spring, summer, and fall bulbs that make excellent cut flowers because of their thick sturdy stems and attractive blossoms.
