    • @Angie_P
      @Angie_P Před 8 měsíci

      @@OriginFlowersNI yes, very hot and humid. This year was one of the hottest ones I've experienced. It can get cold for a few days in January or February but it's relative. What your body reacts to is the drop in temperature. During winter months one day can be in the 30's and the next day in low teens so the change in temperature is what makes it feel cold where as if it was further up north the lower temp wouldn't be a bid deal.

    Really good tips and great to have a UK CZcamsr! However, I think there is probably a big difference between cut flowers for weddings (which only need to last a day or two) and those for the vase? I'm not a big flower arranger, just want to cut a few perennials from the garden and know they will be minimal fuss, and last for at least a week. And I find foliage difficult too as the stems taken from many shrubs wilt really quickly. I would LOVE a couple of videos focussing on foliage (and tips for longevity), and long lasting perennials for the vase.

    • @OriginFlowersNI
      @OriginFlowersNI Před 9 měsíci

      Brilliant, yes absolutely they are picked at a different stage for weddings as the flowers need to be more open. I will do a foliage video. What a great idea, thank you!
