Roses
Roses of all varieties are the most popular flowers. They are presented both as a solo version and surrounded by lilacs, hydrangeas, lilies, calla lilies, lavender.
The best place to grow roses is on the southeast side, there are no cold winds and there is always enough light. Planting is carried out in spring or autumn. Top dressing of the bushes is carried out in the second year after planting.
Lilies
Lilies not only have a delicate aroma peculiar only to them, but are also a symbol of innocence and purity. Ideal in bouquets for young girls. Go well with peonies, phlox, white chamomile, iris, primrose.
Lilies are grown from bulbs, which are planted in the fall in the ground with humus. The combination of several varieties of lilies will decorate not only the garden, but also allow you to create original and unique flower sets.
Peonies
Beautiful delicate flowers, named after the healer Pean, who is able to cure not only people, but also gods. You don't need to add any other flowers to a bouquet of peonies, just choose flowers of different shades so that the composition shimmers and plays with colors. But, if the desire to diversify the composition does not subside, daisies, forget-me-nots, freesias, hydrangeas will become a good combination.
The plant is planted at the end of August, in a hole at least 40 cm deep, with a drained bottom. The bush begins to bloom 2-3 years after planting. Blooms for several weeks.
Irises
Fragile, airy and very delicate flowers, named after the goddess of the rainbow. They amaze with a variety of colors, bloom for at least 2 months, are an excellent basis for creating a bride's bouquet. Best combined with lilies and lavender.
Irises are grown in a sunny area. The soil is fertilized with humus a year before planting flowers. Planting is carried out in late summer or early autumn. Caring for irises is the timely removal of wilted buds.
Chrysanthemums
Golden flower - this is how the ancient Greeks called the chrysanthemum. Beliefs say that this flower brings happiness, and therefore a bouquet of chrysanthemums will be the best gift in any situation and on any holiday. Chrysanthemum is perfect in combination with gerberas, roses and alstroemerias.
It is planted in the spring, when the frost does not return. The flower loves warmth and light, so for planting it is better to choose well-lit areas without drafts. The plant needs regular watering and loosening of the soil.
Secrets of making bouquets
Using little tricks when drawing up flower sets, you can create a wonderful composition that will be brighter than a purchased bouquet.
- The base of the bouquet must be created from flowers that are very popular with the gifted. If the name of the flower is unknown, then the base is chosen in a standard white and red range. For relatives and friends, the use of brighter shades is acceptable.
- The combination of flowers is of great importance not only because of beauty, but also due to the release of toxic substances by certain plants, which will adversely affect the state of the entire composition. Carnations, lilies, daffodils, lilies of the valley and orchids should not be in the same set.
- Flowers cut with pruners will last longer than cut with a knife or scissors.
- One of the prerequisites is an odd number of flowers in the bouquet.
- It is necessary to decide on the shape of the flower set before you start creating it. Round shapes are more suitable for a woman, elongated ones for a man.
- Do not overuse contrasting colors in the composition. The emphasis should be on one color. You should not mix warm and cold colors in bouquets intended for older people.
A self-made bouquet of self-grown flowers will delight the hero of the occasion much more than the cold beauty of purchased sets.
