  • I recorded this video a few days ago, but held it back in favour of the M and S Haul, as I thought you might prefer to see what's out there..... just in case there's any confusion on dates mentioned.
    After many years of flower arranging I thought I'd share some hints and tips I've picked up over the years.
    The red foliage is Cotinus x

    Than you for this video, I love flowers but my budget doesn’t run to.florist flowers every week so this has been very helpful. I find your videos are so believable as you come across as I friend I would have over for coffee.

    Thank you Helen for some great tips for flower arrangements. I often buy supermarket flowers and have found out the day when they come in fresh to my local store and try to buy them then. Makes a difference if they haven’t been around too long and been handled too much.

  • @janefriel6895

      Hi Jane, I love white roses, adding a bit of foliage helps pad them out xx

  • @blondeenigma3882
    @blondeenigma3882 Před 2 lety +4

    I might be wrong but I think the other shrub foliage you used is Cotinus. They are quite expensive to buy in garden centres but add a beautiful pop of dark burgundy in green shrubbery. I always have removed the leaves that would go under water, but I'll remember the other tips for the next time I get flowers so thank you !

    • @Helenmaryjo
      @Helenmaryjo  Před 2 lety

      Yes it is Cotinus, a very pretty shrub. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment xx

      I live in the Pacific Northwest, and roses grow beautifully here. All summer and into fall I have plentiful blooms in my yard. It borders on being excessive because hubby and I are hooked on sticking the trimmed off stems into the soil just to see if they take root and more often than not they do! I think here at the grocery those would run about $12.

    Good Morning Helen, I loved this as I buy Tesco roses every 2 weeks, such good value as they last well. Florist flowers are sooo expensive and I feel so guilty as I don’t use them very often due to the costs. I tend to use them for delivery to friends and relatives special occasions but not regularly. The arrangement looked lovely 🌺

    • @Helenmaryjo
      @Helenmaryjo  Před 2 lety +1

      Good morning. Thank you for watching. It's difficult to justify florist prices, but by using them for local delivery etc it just as good. To be honest we've had plenty of 'floral demonstrators' confess to using supermarket flowers. Their ability to buy in bulk keeps the prices down. xx

    They look beautiful Helen and what a bargain for a fiver. Another lady I follow likes to have fresh flowers in the house and she uses a piece of chicken wire (scrunched up) in the bottom of the vase to hold the blooms in place. Would love a tour of your kitchen. x

    • @Helenmaryjo

    Loved this demo vlog Helen - really useful tips, thankyou. Just wondered, do you favour changing the flower water within the time the flowers are supposed to last, and do you add anything (feed) to the fresh water? xx

    • @Helenmaryjo
      @Helenmaryjo  Před 2 lety +2

      Yes, absolutely. I add food if I have some, but clean water is probably more important. xx
