  I love the satin wrap. I used to put a small strip of batting under the satin for padding. I also took a sheer narrow organza ribbon to go over the satin and criss-cross pinned it from the bottom up, then leaving organza tails. It could be a matching or contrasting detail

  Winter forced tulips is so.ething I have been trying to figure out how and why to grow it since the cost for bulbs is so expensive unless You can leverage economy of scale.

• 
  @ellenfrostflowers14 күн бұрын

  Economies of scale are important. It's also critical to have a florist or consumer base that is ready and willing to pay the price you need them to pay. This is not a crop you can grow and hope to find a customer for it once the tulips are ready.

  Hi, Ellen. I like the plumber's putty as an option but wonder how difficult it is to remove from the vase once the arrangement is done. Thks!

• 
  @ellenfrostflowers14 күн бұрын

  The plumbers putty comes off with some prying (i use a screwdriver) and some olive oil. I usually just leave the frogs in the vase - since I'll probably need it again. But if you need it to get it out, you can.

  @gardeninggrandma524725 күн бұрын

  I've learned so much from your demos. I'm a home gardener who cuts and gifts bouquets to a few local businesses. I cut the stems in the morning, make the bouquets, and deliver them. It sure would be nice to have conditioned, long-stemmed flowers like you have. But in the absence of a cooler and all of the techniques that growers use, I wondered if a video that mirrors what a home gardener does, would be something you would consider showing? Maybe partnering with a home gardener to cut the stems and making the bouquet together would be useful. Thanks for your consideration! I just signed up for your newsletter too! Looking forward to learning more.

  New to your channel, this is so helpful. I would like to understand your design process with height/length of each type of flower. The end design is beautiful, but how did you decide the height of larkspur, compared to the feverfew, etc? Is it by color? or full/airy-ness of the types? Thank you!

• 
  @ellenfrostflowers14 күн бұрын

  Great question! I always let the line flowers (like larkspur, snaps, stock be taller so that you can see their line/shape. Things like feverfew are more like filler and I like to cut them shorter so they are more in the background. I like them as a backdrop to the focal flowers.
