    Sound worked great for me on this video. We overload our front garden with poppies, they look great as a wild field that the deer won't eat but none of the varieties last more than a day or two in cut boquets. They are beautifully dramatic for some whimsical photo shoots if you get them fresh into a same day session though. Thanks for the list, i am expanding my snapdragons for next year, again mainly as the deer don't eat them in my front garden that my photo clients get to see when they come to the studio

    The poppies on last a day- 2 at most in a vase for me, & most say the same thing so Definitely wait for the pods! Some say they get 3-5 days but i dont see how, & even then, that wpuld only work for events, not for people that do farmers markets like we do! 😊

    I pick the poppy just as it starts to crack open slightly. Then it will pop open in the vase as a surprise. When the pedals falloff you are left with a beautiful seed pod.

    Your seed choices are stunning! You will have such beautiful bouquets from these selections. I see your beautiful arrangements and they set the bar so high for my expectations for farmers market flowers!! A couple of interesting flowers you might want to check out is the drumstick flower...it's a round yellow ball. Also globe thistle is a blue spikey ball. I'm thinking of trying both.

    Hi Christina, I grow Oriental poppies for the seed pods. The poppies only last a day or so in the garden so I havent tried cutting them. They make excellent seed pods and these Oriental poppies are perennials. I do know some poppies can be harvested for the vase but I think the stems need to be conditioned.

    Only one earbud but the left now instead of the right, makes sense if being detected as a different input than the old mic. It’s receiving as stereo instead of mono for some reason, which is very strange would happen back and forth in the middle of a video like when it started. Hope it’s nothing major and you figure it out. Yes, more plants of a given variety is the general advice. Jennie Love from Love n Fresh Flowers famously grows hundreds of dahlias but only about 10 varieties.
