Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

flowers

 A medium bouquet from the Tailgate Market



Some Dahlias, and even Queen Anne's Lace, some Zinnias, and one sunflower-like-bloom. Unfortuately the sunflower drooped right away...so I'm going to add some of that sugar-solution that comes with some bouquets...maybe it will help.

That was Sat.

This was Mon...


I had noticed other sunflowers in their bouquets looked droopy, but I had a fresh one. I did cut a couple of inches off the bottom of the stem...this is so sad.

By Tues. I had to throw a few things away that were shedding all over the table.

    Ha ha, I composed this blog post, then forgot to post the time to early morning, as I always do. So this morning when I turned on blogger, there weren't any comments from my friends who arise before me. I was missing you! Hope you have a great day!

    Beautiful! I don't know why some flowers droop. Sounds like you did all the right things.

      This bouquet was a bit of a disappointment. I bought my next flowers at a grocery store, where they would obviously have been picked a longer time before I got them in my vase.

    Barbara, Great looking bouquet in that first photo... Some flowers just do better once they been cut and put in a vase. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

      I've had many sunflowers in vases for weeks at a time...so I was surprised these were so wilted. Oh well, I'll get some different ones somewhere else.

      Thanks...I made the vase (being an ex-potter and all.)

    Beautiful flowers, Barbara, but I am sad they did not last long!

    They don't always last.
