I’ve missed you!!!! Thanks for this great video. I’m about to go online seed shopping to buy some of these I haven’t tried… that’s if your video didn’t sell out the supply! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
💕🌺💕
Thought this video could have been better if you showed the flowers you talked about
Do you mean roseanne brown lisianthus?
I loved this video! Food for thought!
im jealous that people buy your statice, i stopped growing it despite being the number 1 producer for me 30+ inch stems and i threw out thousands of stems
Love the coco marigolds, started growing them myself and I love the structure! Grew blue statice this year as well and the color is just fantastic 😊
Thank you for the video. It would have been very helpful to have seen pictures as you were talking about each variety.
Thank you for all knowledge you share with us. You inspire me to grow more flowers next year. I bought pro cut orange seeds and benary zinnia in purple, lilac and bright pink for next year… i can not wait for spring.
I would have had a hard time choosing only 10 flowers too. The struggle is real!
Tip for next year’s Top 10… you can add a lot of value to your video by showing a picture of the flower/foliage you’re talking about as soon as you introduce it. (True, we can Google search the pictures but most people aren’t going to take the time to type in the names of the flowers, they’re just going to be annoyed that you didn’t put a picture up because that’s what everyone else does, and that’s what people are used to seeing.)
Also, the names of the varieties are important to get right if people are to look up pictures…Zowie, not Wowie. Roseanne Brown, not Roxanne Brown.
That aside, I enjoyed hearing your Top 10!
I’m a huge fan of your videos. This one was missing pictures of the flowers and I didn’t care for the changing background. I didn’t care for the background at all. Even if it didn’t change I still wouldn’t like it.
love how you pop those pills!
If your not interested enough to look up the flowers your not serious enough to benefit from all her knowledge anyway
She's a busy woman making a living in a hard working way. This is tried and true knowledge and she's very busy so I'm so happy to hear from her anytime I can
I ordered Zowie seeds from Johnny's. It really is a remarkable flower. I've learned more about flowers from your videos and livestreams in the last year than my entire life combined (and that's saying something). I appreciate the heck out of you sharing in detail all things flower. Have a great weekend!
Do you grow Stock? I'm really interested in that this year, and it seems to be something a lot of seed companies are into this year, too. Baker Creek has an amazing selection
I love Roseanne Brown! I blew my budget on Lissianthes seed and they didn't have her. I do have 650 seeds in 7 colours though ☺️
Missed seeing a snap shot of which flower your speaking of BUT it's a joy to hearing your top 10.. Blessings ❤️
Great video. How about the ones you wanted in the top 10 but had to cut. Always interested in your choices. fab channel
Do you grow lisianthus and ranunculus or buy plugs ?
The nice thing this year for home gardeners is johnnys has smaller more affordable packets of the zowie zinnias available this year.
Loved seeing photos of the garden! Also got a giggle from shirtless Ian in the background of one of the shots 🤣🤣
It’s always educational listening to you. I could picture in my head a lot of these.. but my 55 Year old brain missed a few. 🤓
I can't wait until you start growing roses 😀🥰
well presented Serena!
Do you mean Rosanne Brown Lisianthus? I can't find Roxanne.
how did you not include pictures of the flowers!! sigh. otherwise good video
👍
I'll have to try the wowie zinnia!
You left us with a cliff hanger😂😂
You sell me many flowers and I'm all the way in southern California 😂
Would have loved to see pictures of the flowers you were talking about. I was lost.
Miss, seeing the flowers 😪
Great list Serena! Love all of these and I'm going to have to research Bupleurum which I don't know anything about!
As a fellow Canuck I can tell your pronunciation is confused (joking), it's eh-pree-cot (English) or ah-bree-co (French). 😉
love you guys and your videos, but C’mon, who makes a top 10 list and doesn’t show the flowers!
Enjoyed scenes from your garden during the video. So beautiful and cheery now that winter is here.
I love all this information, however I would love to see a picture of the picture you are talking about.
Be nice if you would include pictures of flowers
SUNFLOWERS make you(customers) smile!!! I sell miniature sunflowers in pots at a Farmer’s Market in Minnesota.
Does anyone know if there is there a wowie and a zowie zinnia variety? Because all I can find is the zowie variety.
Reviewing flowers without a picture of them is bananas.
Your lived experience is so helpful!
??? What flower are you describing? We need to see examples. Sorry, this video didn’t work for me.
Thank you for the video but I was very disappointed that you did not include pictures of your favorite flowers .
I don’t like the commercial insert. And it is so long. Turns me off.
Great video! You have a wonderful and relatable way of explaining that showcases your passions. Looking forward to future videos.
Love your videos here in Poco bc
Next time could you put a picture up of each flower as you go through the list? Still appreciate the content.
