Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback! Looking forward to sharing much more through this growing season!

Thank you, Wanda, I’m so glad it was helpful for you!

Awe thank you so much! You’re so right, the design component is just a small piece of what goes into making a beautiful bouquet!

Thank you so much, I’m so happy that you enjoyed this video!

Awesome, I am glad to hear that! For a bridal bouquet, keep your binding point higher up for a shorter and lighter bouquet 😄

You are so welcome, I’m enjoying being able to share here with KZfaq, it’s a great fit for me and wish I’d discovered this platform sooner after struggling along on Instagram for so long!

Thank you so much! 💖

Awe thank you!

Thank you so much 😊, glad you enjoyed this one!

Ooh perfect! For that type of bouquet, keep your binding point up higher than I did in this video. You want to work shorter and tighter for a bridal/prom bouquet. I love the prom bouquet trend! I wish it’d happen around my area!

Do you know if you warm ranunculus if they will force open? I am going to experiment with a few but mine are just a bit early (marshmallow)

To an extent, for sure, you could try! Just keep in mind that ranunculus go dormant when it gets too warm. Just from a quick Google search: the optimal temperatures for ranunculus are 1.5-10C (35-50F) at night and 15-24C (60-75F) in the day.

Thanks for all of your replies! I meant inside after they had been cut much like a flower accidentally blows open in your car. I appreciate your channel so much!

Ooh gotcha, I wasn’t sure, thought maybe you were thinking to do what I did with the lilac in my hoophouse 😄. If they are already cut, yes I would basically put them somewhere warm to open and once they are at the stage you want for the bouquets put them back into cold storage to hold them at that stage. So I would do that at least a few days before you need them so they have time to open :)

Thank you Madeleine! Spring flowers are always so lovely and romantic!

That’s wonderful to hear, thank you!

Thank you so much! The few lilac stems I managed to get ready really brought this one home!

Thank you! 💖

Thanks so much!

Awe if you’re ever in my area I can give you a hands on lesson! It takes some practice until it starts to feel natural!

Awe thanks Connie! Happy flowering!

So glad you found it helpful! 🥰

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed this video!

Wonderful! Thank you for your feedback, I’ll keep it in mind!

Awe that’s so kind of you, thanks Joy! Take care!

So glad to hear this, thank you so much!

So glad it was helpful to you!

Awe thanks Rosemary! Take care!

Wonderful to hear that it was helpful to you, thank you Terry! Cheers!

Awe thank you so much, Wanda! You made my day 😄 💖💖

Awe your welcome, I’m so glad it was helpful for you! Happy flowering! 💐

😘

Thank you! Spring flowers are so lovely!

🥰

Thank you! I included the names of each bouquet ingredient in captions on the video ,so keep an eye out for that!

It can come down to the variety, in terms of vase life. Make sure you’re harvesting in the freshness of the morning as well 🙂

@@floristsonfarms thank you 🙏🏻

I really enjoy the Leucojum, such a lovely floater! Large bouquets like this around around $80-$125, depending on the ingredients :)

🥰

I haven’t yet acquired any Cotinus; but I would gladly use them, such a stunning cut especially for fall. I would recommend using Quick Dip for those 🙂

I would love to do that! I didn’t grow enough tulips for that to be possible this year, but I’ll look at doing that one for the next growing season!

Yes such a great question, Amanda. If you watch my video on daffodils I get into detail on this there; and in that video I mention that to be absolutely safe, you can try to cut and condition your daffs at their final length so that you don’t need up retrimming. In this bouquet, I’m avoiding recutting the daffs as best I can. That being said, there are many sources that suggest that the second or subsequent cuts after conditioning don’t cause the slime/sap to start flowing again. So while I do avoid it as much as I can to be safe, I am less concerned about it once they’ve had their initial conditioning. Additionally, some of the flower food products out there are formulated to deal with the slime which eliminates the need for concern, and in this case, I was Quick Dipping the entire bouquet immediately after cutting it and then holding it in flower food. To answer your last question, alkaloids in the slime are harmful to tulips and roses; beyond that, yes, it’s the slime itself they clogs the stems of other flowers preventing them from staying hydrating.

@@floristsonfarms Thank you for your incredibly detailed response. You are so very helpful! I look forward to watching the video on daffodils. Also, I had no idea how complicated flower farming & arranging would be! I was a vegetable grower and that seems much easier to me now! ;)

I think when we are dealing with SO many different flowers, it gets more complex! But it doesn’t have to be this way, mastering a few easy going and productive crops is very rewarding!

Hi, great question and I didn’t go into detail in this video because I talk a lot about this in my daffodil video. There is contradictory information out there about whether subsequent cuts after the initial conditioning is going to rerelease the sap. I am of the mind that it doesn’t tend to; but I think that is up to everyone to decide for themselves. To err on the side of caution with my bouquets, I avoid retrimming those stems as much as possible, so conditioning them at their final height is ideal for me. I know it doesn’t show well in this bouquet, but the longer daffs tend to be floating up higher in the bouquet. Secondly, there are products that solve this problem for us like CVBN tablets and specially formulated flower food. I don’t get into this much in my daffodil video other than a vague mention; but for simplicity or assurance, you may want to go that route. I apologize for not mentioning those final steps in this video, it completely slipped my mind! I keep all of my ready-to-go bouquets in flower food in cold storage and they also leave here with a packet of flower food. 🙂

I find this happens sometimes with all types of bulbs and I don’t actually know the mystery of why this happens! I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of it.

Hi, great question and I didn’t go into detail in this video because I talk a lot about this in my daffodil video.

@@floristsonfarms I never knew CVBN and flower food will prevent or neutralize the sap? I always wondered if second cuts released much but could never find anyone confirming it didn't. On another note, please keep making videos! I'm a second year flower farmer selling market style bouquets and you have been a game changer. After some useful tips and beautiful inspirations, I am 10 times prouder of my work so far this year! Thank you for sharing your depths of knowledge and your amazing talent!

I didn’t know it about CVBN either until I spotted it on the manufacturer’s product description! The flower food that I know is formulated to neutralize slime is Chrysal Clear Narcissus. Regarding the second cut, I have found scholarly sources saying both answers to that so that is not super helpful haha. Of my own, when I’ve tested it, there is a slight amount of sap there on the end of the stem; but not a lot, so I do wonder how detrimental it would be. Thanks for your encouragement! I do not plan to stop making videos, i have really been enjoying the way this platform makes it easy for me to share, and hopefully my video quality will continue to improve as I keep going! 😝 I’m so glad I’ve been able to help you, that makes me so happy!

Chrysal Pro 2 is a hydrating and holding solution so it has a bit of a different purpose (a good one to use for all of your flowers after harvesting and before you sell them). I think the equivalent to Floralife QuickDip would be Chrysal EasyDip - I have never tried that one :)

@@floristsonfarms Thank you!
