The Flowerpot Cafe' 23 Cyber St.

Hi everyone! I'm back!!! Been having trouble with our computer (long on going dispute with our internet provider).

Nice to see your Grandson Candee, Thank you for bringing Colton in to visit his Aunties! He looks so peaceful there, so cute! I've made him a liitle chair, he's a bit young for it yet but will keep it at the cafe' for when he's sitting up!
Thanks for all the pretty arrangemennts, the Iris leaf fan is great. Love the new fountain garden, what a fabulous new feature!

Hi Steven, Great to see you back, glad you found us on Cyber St. Your flowers are looking good, love the 'brains' Celosa, wish I had sown some seeds of those, but then again we have yours at the cafe to enjoy now! Thanks for adding new plants to our flower bed in the front.
There are still Sunflower raffle tickets left, see Madam Woodsy, she has the remaining numbers... Good Luck!
I will update those soon, some have started to flower!!

Thank you so much for Colton's chair, he will love it. Perhaps Eva (big sister) can sit in it and hold him for the first time.
Hey elle, chicken farm it is then, you will be the hatching queen! Have a great day, just stopped in to drop off this bouquet for the bar.

Also wanted to drop off this salmon dahlia and it is difficult but it is backed with dwarf flowering plum.

Hi Candee, Gorgeous dahlia, it looks quite stunning alone in your beautiful crystal glass, Love it when you have flowers, it's great to see what you make and lovely to have fresh flowers here all the time!
Oh little eva has her own chair, a bit bigger than coltons! Big sis wants to feel special in her own chair, Grandma!! lol.
Eva's chair has yellow snapdragons to play with and a lovely pink zinnia cushion!

Hi elle, missed you girlfriend!!! good to hear you are doing ok and getting plenty of eggs!
Your Sunflower number 2 is flowering!!! congratulations!! It has the biggest flowerhead and is really beautiful.

Zany yours has a bud!

Plantgeek ... yours is very tall.....

The Sunflowers are lookin' good there Terri. That big bloom on Elle's is sunshine at it's best!

hi all

we are then going to remold the inside
big plan
a new house for all my chicken

elle

Well that makes sense elle, if you feed the animals well they will return the deed by producing good food for you inreturn.
The new chicken house sounds like quite project. You will have to keep us posted with some transitioning photos.
thanks terri, I really like that color myself.

Hi everyone!
Thanks Zany, yours won't be long before it's flowering. The seeds I used were all mixed, some are singles and some have buds going up the stems. Elle's has a lovely flowerhead, lots of seeds in there!
Sounds like you have a busy few days ahead elle, hope the new chicken house comes together well.

I'm bringing in a few arrangements, here's our new flower screeen for the lounge area.

A jug of sweet peas...

How rude is that I totally forgot to mention the beautiful Eva chair. She will be a little princess sitting on her throne, thank you.

A weave sculpture with strawflowers and sticks!

Eva is most welcome, our little princess can come to play anytime!
We have a selection of ice lollies....

Summer punch for Happy hour this evening!

It's quite strong so go easy Candee!! LOL.

It even looks wickedly delicious, I better wait till I have at least driven home from work!

Yes, good idea!
Got to go shopping now, have a nice evening everyone. bye!

Terri - love your weave arrangement and the flower wall. Was that something you picked up at a second hand store. I also like how you picked the crocosmia with the leaves attached and had it fanning out of a frog.

Elle - your chicken farm is growing by leaps and bounds! good luck with your new project.

Hi Dianne, Thank you! The flower screen was bought new many years ago! It usually has candles in it on the patio outside, just thought it was a way of displaying a collection of flowers, especially ones with short stems and when there's only a few of each.
I used your 'imitating' the plant shape technique for the crocosmia, Thanks for that idea!

The weave was lots of fun, here is the whole new ole boot arrangement!

Thanks for saying Dianne, glad you like it!

Elle, shall I cut your sunflower and bring it to the cafe' or leave it on the plant a while longer???

Just dropping by to say good morning. Going to the cabin tomorrow and hope to have a buyer for our jeep.
:)

you can put it in the cafe
for every one can see it and love it
elle

Hi Candee, Good Luck selling the jeep, hope everything turns out positive. Have a nice time at the cabin for the weekend, if I don't bump into you here before then ..lol!
Hi elle, Ok I will cut and measure it!
Back later, got visitors.. bye

Terri, Can I take sunflower #22? BTW, thats a very nice chair you made. It looks nice and coushy(sp?). And Mmm mmm mmm, those ice lollies are goooood!

Candee, I noticed some of the marigolds are missing from the garden....*raises eyebrow*.........did you perhaps... see anyone suspicious?

Hi Steven, Number 22 is yours then, good luck! Thankyou, glad you liked the Celosa lollies and cushy chair..lol.
I remember your lily bud arrangement last year, have you had many flowers this year? Is Miss Bruggie still available for work?


oops, sorry about the marigolds I thought they were for cutting!

Yay! I'm in the contest! I just made some flowers a minute ago and set up to take their picture and realized my camera was dead! Darn it! So my cameras charging now....
I've made a couple arrangements this year but have been hesitant to cut blooms so far :) But alot of things are coming into flower now so theres more choices!
And ,Oh Yes, Miss Bruggie is available for work and has grown alot! She is getting ready for a flush of blooms and theres 35 buds and counting! WOO! I'll get a pic of her as well!





AH HA! So YOU cut the marigolds!

Ok, so the camera charged enough to take a few pics and now it's charging again so I can take pics of Miss Bruggies friends.

Heres the flowers I just made :)


Cracker Jack Marigolds, The Fairy Roses, Balcon something Ivy Geranium and Blue Star Swan River Dasies.

veiw from the top

I tried to do the blooms so they'd match the ones on the cup

and heres one thats been going for a couple weeks now. I add a few blooms here and there and also the ones that get bitten off by the evil vole that inhabits our yard.

They are lovely Steven! I like the way you picked up the blooms on the cup, great idea!
So good to have you back with us making arrangements! Very nice vase too!
Good to hear Miss Bruggie is still with us and has got bigger, Madame Woodsy will be glad of the help I'm sure!

That is a lovely grouping of flowers. I especially like the way the blue daisies add an airy feeling to the compactness of the rest.

Miss Bruggie and friends are here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1021349/

Hi Zany and thank you! I had to re-do it this morning when some of the blooms had leaned over and lifted out of the water. But it still looks basicly looks the same.

Terri, Miss Bruggie will be able to bring her whole family to work soon so we can have a whole staff with Madame Woodsy as the general manager!



OH! And if anyone has any of those big marigolds like I used, beware because I discovered they're basic an insect appartment complex!

Hi Steven, Great news, service should be improved with the Bruggies in the kitchen! Madame will be pleased!

ahhhhhhhhhh what's that in my soup? ...... I see what you mean about the insect appartment complex.. LOL!
