    Wow! Amazingly beautiful bouquet Georgie! And such a great demonstration. I made my first hand-tied bouquet yesterday and it turned out great. I used freesias, dutch iris, calendula, tulips, anenome's, and green filler from my spring garden. Of course it's nothing on the scale of yours lol. The recipient of your bouquet is one very lucky person. I'm waiting another week to get my dahlias in because this week we are having a last blast from the Antarctic. Brrr... :)

    Love all of your bouquets. I grew cafe au lait for the first time last year. All of my blooms were a creamy beige colour I notice yours are more blush pink, I’d love them to be more blush pink. Can I ask what am I doing wrong? ❤

    • @theflowerfarmer
      @theflowerfarmer  Рік тому +1

      it'll depend slightly on where you got your tubers - dahlias are ruthless reverters to their parents if they can and it's possible that a) cafe au last has a pinker parent (I don't know) and mine are trying to revert and that b) the endless cutting taking and tuber making that they have been through means that wherever you are in the world or whoever you buy from there will be subtle differences in colour along the way x
