Spring Flowers

Question by Kristen P: Spring Flowers?
What are the best kinds of flowers to plant in the Spring that will last all Summer long? What are those flowers called that look like long, skinny, purple lilacs, that grow tall and spike-like out of a bush? Sorry that second question was really vague! Any gardeners out there who can help?

Answer by ksr_2857
First off most spring time flowers will not bloom all year long hence the word spring time. Things like tulips, daffodils, and crocus are only seasonal. Now you can also plant Asiatic lilies, day lilies, astible and black eyed Susan’s which will bloom into summer but then too die off. What I do with my bulbs like listed above I also add annuals which will bloom from roughly May15th till a heavy frost in Oct or Nov. That way while my perennials are not in bloom I still have color in the yard. As for the long spiky plant you speak of I think it is a butter fly bush, their flowers are lavender or white and attract butterflies and will bloom all summer long and into the fall. Happy growing.

Inexpensive Wedding Flowers

Can we really save money on Wedding Flowers?

Weddings bouquets and wedding floral arrangements can be very expensive, no matter what limited budget, money-saving tips and tricks you use. Many brides have wondered if they need to get their flowers from a professional wedding florist, and toy with the idea of making their own wedding bouquets and arrangements. The answer is Yes, you can have flowers even within an inexpensive wedding budget. You can Do it Yourself on wedding flowers and significantly hold down the cost of wedding flowers.

Is Doing Your Own Wedding Flowers for You?

First of all, if doing floral arrangement, much less wedding flower arrangements, is something you have never done before, or if you do not enjoy designing arrangements and working with flower for hours, then DIY wedding flowers is not for you. On your wedding day, you will be more stressed out than you have ever been before, and to add an onerous and difficult task like arranging flowers might be more than you can take. But if you have got experience with floral design and it is something you really like doing, then it might work for you.

Do Not Try to Do It All Yourself – Please Get A lot of Help!

The first thing you will need to do, if you need and want to attempt DIY Wedding Flower arrangements, is to recruit a number of talents, dedicated and patient supportive family members and friends. You and your team select the flowers, and then assemble the arrangements and bouquets the morning of the wedding (and some beforehand). Fresh floral arrangements do not last long, and there is no way you can make them all by yourself on the morning of your wedding day.

Basics of Wedding Floral Design within a Inexpensive Wedding Budget

If you are confident you can do your own wedding flowers and you havee got a crew to help you assemble and transport them, it?s time to start researching. Scour dozens of bridal magazines, attend multiple weddings, and visit several local florists to gather wedding flower ideas. Also educate yourself on the basics of wedding floral design:

Learn about basic color theory. Take time to study a color wheel and totally familiarize yourself with essential color concepts like complementary, analogous, and monochromatic colors.

Bridal bouquets come in four basic shapes: crescent, round, hand-tied, and freeform. You need to know what flowers to use, how to shape a bouquet, arrange it, and tie it.

The bridal bouquet should be designed first, followed by the smaller bridesmaids bouquets and then the corsages and boutonnieres. Elements color and design elements of the bridal bouquet should be echoed in all other wedding floral arrangements.

Think About and Practice Creating Your Bouquet Ahead of Time

Think about exactly what you want your wedding bouquet to look like in advance and sketch it out (even if you can not draw). Once you have an idea of what you like, do a dry run of making the bouquets and arrangements with either fake or fresh flowers. Please make totally sure you are satisfied with it and you know all the supplies that are required and that you have all of those supplies.

Where The Best Place is to Buy Your Wedding Flowers?

When you are buying a large or even modest quantity of flowers for yourself, there are a number of options available to buy flowers. For buying large order, wholesale flowers vendors (in the Flower District) are usually the best deal place to get the flowers your need at a good price. There are some online flower companies sell and deliver flowers overnight, or you can always order them in bulk through your local florist. Just do not forget to order all the greenery and filler that you will need for your bouquets and arrangements in addition to the flowers.

Care and Protection for Flowers Before and On Your Wedding Day

Upon receiving the wholesale flowers, immediately put them in water. If possible, keep them in the refrigerator (not the freezer) to maximize the length of time they will stay fresh and beautiful. Wedding flowers should not be removed from the water and assembled until the last minute. Make sure to have extra amounts of all the supplies and everything on hand as you assemble the bridal bouquet and wedding flower arrangements, and arrange to transport them in coolers with extreme care on their way to the wedding ceremony and wedding reception.

Brides with a limited budget can make their own wedding floral arrangements and bouquets, but not without plenty of prior experience arranging flowers and not without a crew of willing friends and family to help. Doing wedding flowers within an inexpensive wedding budget can be challenging area, but not impossible with the right resources.

New Education About Landscape Design


Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

Sharon Kleyne, host of the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water syndicated radio talk show, recently interviewed Gina Samarotto of the Samarotto Design Group of Poughkeepsie, NY, a leading landscape design firm. They discussed the benefits of incorporating water, and employing water conservation techniques, in garden and landscape design.

The interview may be heard on-demand on World Talk Radio, Voice America, Green Talk Network and Apple iTunes.

An important Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water objective is education about all aspects of water, including the esthetic and spiritual. Water is physically life sustaining but also soothing and uplifting. Even if you can’t afford a landscape architect, you can utilize Mrs. Samarotto’s ideas about water and design in your personal space, and support their inclusion in parks and other public areas.

Gina Samarotto graduated from Cornell University as a Landscape Architecture major because of her interest in outdoor living and open spaces. Sharon Kleyne noted that indoor environments tend to be more dehydrating and less healthy than outdoor environments (although outdoor air can become polluted). According to Sharon Kleyne, fresh outdoor air is always more natural and beneficial, especially with water around. Mrs. Samarotto agreed, pointing out that she also incorporates water in her indoor designs (fountains and showers) to humidify and create a relaxed, “outdoors” feeling. By bringing outdoors elements indoors, she blurs the line between indoors and outdoors.

Sharon Kleyne pointed out that indoor environments – insulated walls and windows and forced-air heating and cooling, can be physically dehydrating. According to Gina Samarotto, in Victorian England, people were afraid of fresh air and spent most of their time indoors (but they didn’t have climate controls). Mrs. Samarotto adds that there is nutrition to be gained from the sun (Vitamin D) but that some of the Victorian attitude remains today. She also notes that 100 years ago, people often kept a pot of water on the woodstove to humidify the air.

In her outdoor designs, Mrs. Samatortto often utilizes water and concrete near the house (both of which require less maintenance than lawns and gardens). The goal is to crease spaces that “feel good” and in which all elements ? air, light, water, earth and esthetics – work in harmony.

One of Mrs. Samarott’s specialties is micro-landscapes, particularly in New York City. Micro-landscapes are utilized in postage-stamp sized backyards behind brownstones and on rooftops and balconies. Sometimes, she brings outdoor elements indoors, as with a fountain (the water in indoor fountains tends to evaporate quickly and must be refilled frequently). These strategies ground people to the natural environment despite the urban surroundings.

Sharon Kleyne asked about garden design and Mrs. Samarotto said she is a strong advocate of personal gardens. Not everyone can own a farm but there is a nutritional and spiritual benefit to producing some of your own food.

Gina Samarotto and Sharon Kleyne both expressed an interest in low-maintenance garden design. They agreed that people tend to over-water their gardens, flowers, shrubs and houseplants, which is poor water conservation.

Mrs. Samarotto is an advocate of “xeroscaping” ? outdoor designs that require minimal water. She notes that herbs require less water than ornamental shrubs. She frequently uses rock gardens and lava rock garden designs with deep rooted “xeric” plants. Certain types of hydroponic gardens also conserve water.

Bottom line: you don?t have to sacrifice form for function and good landscape design doesn?t have to be a compromise or hugely expensive.
