Totally surprised by results. When I read title I immediately thought of course not. Always enjoy these experiments. Thank you😊

It's so funny, you're a viewer that I remember well because of how you like these particular videos. :-) I quite heartily agree that I expected Mistflower to be a thumbs-down on being a cut flower! And then when it drooped at first I thought, "Yep, of course." But then she surprised us both and turned it around!

Nice

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your interesting results, as it's so nice to bring some of our beauties inside! How did you get such a large, tall patch? Mine are short and sparse :(

[@nativeflowerpower9942]

Mistreat them? I jest, but honestly, I have mistreated these mistflowers so heartily that I have no idea how they're doing so well! (You can see my video on what seedling mistflowers look like, to see the extent of mistreatment!) The location that that patch is in is full shade, medium to medium-wet soil, and mostly clay. I don't amend the soil or do anything at all to them. I'm not sure that they should be doing so well there, but I'll thank you not to tell them that. :-)

Totally off topic. Do u live in an older home? The paneling behind the mist flower is very pretty and doesn’t look like cheap 1970’s paneling. None of my business I know but I really like the look
