This week's and other week's flowers
I knew it would be useful to have a finished post up my sleeve for when life became too busy.
I do like a nice gladdy.
Erect gerberas, and they stayed erect for nearly a week.
Lilies might look nice, but they can pong terribly, never mind the staining pollen from their stamens.
Natives, for a change.

Ahhh, blissful eye candy from nature :)
ReplyDeleteJayne, with a lot of cross breeding, I am sure.
DeleteThose lilies are the ones that do me in with their pollen. Solid migraine within an hour. To get rid of the pong, just snip off the tiny pollen heads. The lilies will look just as nice.
ReplyDeleteRiver, we did snip later and it helped a bit. I don't think we will have them for a while.
DeleteWhats your secret Andrew, I've never been able to keep my gerberas erect for a week!!love the tulips but even more difficult to keep up, didn't dare say the 'e' word again haha!!
ReplyDeleteFlowers and the arranging of them is household management's job Grace. There have been non erect gerberas in the past but the technique seems to be very good now.
