How to make a summer flower arrangement featuring asters and roses. But why hand-tied?
Ingredients – a mix of foliage materials – we I used pistache, eucalyptus, fern, and fatsia.
Flowers were local garden grown bunches of asters and phlox with a touch of commercial flowers – short roses, a couple of gerbera and a stem of lily!
Why would we handtie flowers that are going into a vase? Watch and discover that this is the perfect way to not only arrange them but makes water changes simple as pie as the flowers are already held arranged!
Watch and see how we create this design – placing the design into a ceramic container also hides the stems and the water! So the look is always clean and fresh!

This may be the best "summer" hand-tied bouquet ever, John! Seriously, I find it so beautiful in it's simplicity and variety. Thank you! Buying locally is always a terrific idea, whether flowers, produce, meat or dairy. Hope you've a good week under way!
Wonderful ❤❤

Very nice idea🌺🌹Thank you💖
wow!bellissimo bouquet!!
This is absolutely glorious. I need a lot more practice at hand tied arrangements – I struggle to make them stay where I want as I add more stems.
This is very beautiful. Great work.
Wow, this is lovely: the abundance of materials used, the hand-tied technique, the color scheme. Everything! How wonderful that you buy the materials locally. I'm inspired to grow a variety of flowers and foliage. I'm in a very small town (pop. ~1,000) that happens to get a lot of highway traffic from people on their way to the closer big cities in the four main cardinal directions. There's a small, open-air market space that I have access to that would be perfect to set up a stand that would bring both the beauty of flowers and contribute to developing commerce here in this well-located whistle stop.
I know this might sound strange, but I also think it's neat when you show how you tidy up the stems for the arrangement so it sits well in the vase. I love watching your videos, John. Looking forward to the next one!
Wow you're fast! You make it look like magic. The little roses are so special in this context. So pretty–and if it wasn't magic, it's a good use of local flowers, commercial and stuff from the garden. I really like that you refer to other videos. Over the years, the videos have gone from instructional to sculptural/artistic to "therapeutic (just enjoy the experience:", so it's good to reference the oldies but goodies to grasp the scope of them all. Thanks John!
Beautiful John, a very happy summery bouquet, easy enough to put together with whatever flowers you have , and tying them is great to easily change water., thankyou again., always looking forward to your weekly video.
Beautiful ❤
I love this one too! Great work! I wish my hands were as big as yours. I was waiting to see if you were going to put the Lily "expensive flower" in the center. LOL
Just beautiful!!! ❤
Beautiful piece, John! I'm truly inspired by your work. Keep posting your videos.
Love it
Amazing! That’s a huge hand-tied bouquet & you did it so fast!! 😮
