Interesting themes, they should keep us busy for quite a while.

I have been to Hampton Court once very impressive flower exhibition...

Hello Martin, nice of you to drop in. Have you checked out the other threads here in the forum? We would love to have you join in our floral arrangements!

I look in this forum occasionally for new ideas...

Living in Fes, Morocco, there is not much I can do regarding flowers...The ones you can buy here are already withered when they arrive on the markets....

This is why I have resorted to growing morning glories and zinnias only...I have some busy lizzie and geraniums, too. But don't have the heart to cut them.

I do occasionally cut off some of my amaryllis if they produce additional flowers in the summer because these will keep up to two weeks in a vase...

But thanks for the friendly welcome, Candee.

I love growing zinnias and here they last a long time in arrangements. If you ever get a chance would love to see a photo of your morocco gardens.

There is only lots of greenery... not very interesting. But wait til my MGs are blooming shortly. To give you a little taste...
