As I was driving through town, I realized you could really have a beautiful table display if you planted right. With a little thought, you could have blooms from spring to fall that would enhance your indoor space. A variety of vases spaced around your home would be a wonderful way to bring the outdoors in.
Abowl of Dahlias in late summer.
Hydrangea are plentiful in Tyler. You can put lime on them to change the color from white to blue. You could have a variety of hues come from one flower bed.
Peonies cut and dropped in a vase. Beautiful
Anything can be used as a vase, as long as it holds water. Remember to recut the stem immediately before you put the stem in the vase. Change the water daily and if needed, recut the stem daily. Garden flowers will not last as long as wholesale flowers. This is to be expected. But, most anything from your yard can be cut and brought inside. My favorite plant to cut from is Gardenia. I have miniature Gardenias in my yard. I cut the stem and place them in a bowl of water. The blooms only last over night, but wow what an aroma when you walk through the room!
Hope these ideas help you be able to incorporate what's outside to the inside. Do a little research and you can have a wonderful flower garden to cut from year after year.
