I have only recently discovered your site. You are a total delight! So many wonderful tips for us to learn. I’m in the SF Bay Area growing many of the plants to discuss. Thanks again for having your flower site.
The basin and pitcher are beautiful on their own but when filled with flowers are escalated as decorative accents to your home. Your guests will love them.
Georgie, you are like a replica of my self in that I make all these little and big arrangements and put them about my house in the same manner!!!! I am fortunate to have a plain pale cream bowl & ewer that my step- mom made in a ceramics class about 45 years ago...she's gone now...but I treasure the pieces and frequently use them as you've done with yours 🥰. There's just nothing like seeing flowers in room after room in a home!.....I noticed a log cabin quilt in one of your shots...do you quilt? It's what I do all winter here in Michigan 🇺🇸 to keep me sane until I can be outdoors growing flowers 💐 🥰. Thanks for a delightful post!!!
Thankyou - my Mum Googie is the quilter - I made a clip about her sewing room a while back in September I think if you feel like scrolling back and having a watch - we have quilts in every room too! xxx
I love these arrangements. I know you have used that pitcher before because I remember what a beautiful piece it is but I love the way you used the basin. I collect basins and pitchers I have 20+ of them and a few stray pitchers missing the basin. I now have a million ideas running through my head...lol. Gorgeous! God bless
Lovely and springy! I am wondering if you are left handed? I was always encouraged to have jug handles on the right!?? I ran a china shop! I am inspired . Thank you
I'm not left handed - when I'm doing flowers for Number I Bruton every week I do think about the spout of the vessel and have it facing the fireplace (so to the right) when I make the piece - here I didn't think about it at all as it's just for my sitting room xxx
I know that Swan Island Dahlias mows their dahlia fields to top off the dahlias (somewhere around 18" I think it was said). Can you do something like that to top off zinnias and other crops?
zinnias are annuals so need to be sown fresh every year. People often mow off their perennial tops towards the end of winter, leaving the mowings on the beds to mulch down. I lift dahlias to keep them super duper strong, healthy, large, bright, good condition etc x
This is the best kind of video, flower arranging and placement in the spaces. For non farmers this gives great ideas to add arrangements to our homes.
Glad it was helpful! x

Hello Bay Area - what a beautiful part of the world x
Love them all, but that bulb garden is absolutely delightful! As is the antique pitcher & basin set! Wow! Great pieces for flower use.
thank you x

I planted such a bowl a few years agoo in the same manner. But because it was an Easter display I popped a big ostrich egg in it too!
Ostrich! wow x
This was very enjoyable and really makes me anxious for spring! I hope that the family visit is relaxing too.
I hope so too! x

The florist you're thinking of is Jeff Leatham at the George V Hotel. (Just trying to be helpful.)
yes! Thankyou x
