Beautiful and yes! Lilacs and peonies, plus lilies of the valley for their amazing fragrance. All three have been my favorites since I was a little girl.
Perfectly timed video. Really appreciate your content. My 30+ year old lilac tree has lilacs coming on almost every branch this year. I'm in zone 6B in Nova Scotia and our lilacs are just in the early bud stage but at least they are showing. So proud of this tree as it was blown down and partially uprooted last fall in tropical force storm winds and suffered a large main root complete break. It was stood back up and stabilized. Still quite movable but is producing more lilacs after that mishap than any other year. They surely are resilient ❤
Great video. I, too, love lilacs but rarely bring them inside because they haven’t lasted long. I’m definitely going to try your strategies this year, actually in a day or so. Thanks!
There are a lot of really talented (and trained) floral designers around, you just have to know where to look. Definitely not a lost art. There aren’t a lot on TH-cam, so if that’s where you are looking it might seem that it’s a lost art. Danielle at “Northlawn Flower Farm” does beautiful arrangements and is a master gardener as well.
@@cynthiafisher9907 she is definitely not trained. Pretty sure, but not professional. I don’t watch her much because you have to double check all her advice, she does get a lot of things wrong.
@@NicolesGardenNS Are you talking about Laura? She is self taught, that’s true, but often people who are self taught and have a lot of experience know more than those who have an education. I don’t find she gets a lot of things wrong, but I do live in the same area. Maybe her advice works better for our climate and not so well for yours.
I love the moss!!!

Feeing inspired to make my neighbor a Mother’s Day arrangement using our lilacs! Thanks!!
Really appreciate your tips and tricks. Very timely information. Happy Mothers Day!
Thanks so much for this video. I find lilacs gorgeous - especially in the spring when there aren’t so many flowers in bloom.
Thank you for this video! I found it so helpful! I struggle with wilting lilacs and now I know what to do!
I like your channel it's like having you in my back pocket. I'm fairly new to flowers. Thank you for such amazing content.
I have some budding up and out.. great timing❤.. beautiful arranging.. great tip with the chicken wire❤❤
I am really enjoying watching your videos. Very informative!

I used to be a florist and I used a sharp pocketknife. Worked like a charm. Edit: it was so sharp it would go through woody stems that size.
Beautiful! Happy Mothers Day!
I just absolutely love your channel! You're so helpful ❤

Awesome ideas. Thank you
So pretty!
Great video, ty!
Pretty
I like the tip of using two layers of chicken wire. Thanks. I'm sure the smell was heavenly when you were arranging them.
Do you strip hydrangea stems like that too? I've only just cut up the last 2-3inches never striped them. Makes sense.
Volume seems very low. I just check several other channels I watch. Volume was great!
Where did you get this chicken wire? Mine is tiny girth aluminum and cuts my hands and isn't nearly as sturdy as this thicker one appears to be!
They dont flower the next year or? Had no blooms after pruning the tree last year

And Laura from Garden Answer, but she doesn’t do them often.

I mean that most people don’t often take the time to do floral arranging for their own home. If you do that’s great!
