SusannaT Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I used watercolored tissue paper to make a delphinium as blue as the one in my garden. I absolutely love the result, however the thought of making more of these is scaring me LOL! It took soooo long. And naturally I want Mary's flowerbed to look impressive once it's done. sigh. Any thoughts on what flowers I should have growing in the same bed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachpeach Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 absolutely beautiful! and weeds grow the best for me! they are easy to maintain and seem to thrive without water or alot of fussing with! but seriously, you did a wonderful job there!

CJEP Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Oh, that is beautiful. I haven't tried a delphinium yet, but have been playing with various flowers. As for thoughts of other flowers, other cutting flowers and periennials--daisies, mums, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 It turned out beautifully! Hostas should be easy to make, foxglove is beautiful. Oh heck, i haven't had any caffeine this morning. I love flowers and cannot get my brain to spit out anymore names :groucho: i'll get back to you! I want to do a beautiful garden. I have a ton of kits to make up flowers, i just haven't tried them yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmesue Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Simply beautiful, thanks for sharing. Too bad it's so time consuming to mass produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 It was time well-spent. You've done a fabulous job .... it's perfect. What a beautiful garden you're going to have. Some of my favourite climbing flowers are hollyhocks and, of course, roses. Hollyhocks or roses in shades of pink would really compliment the delphiniums. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Spirit Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 That's lovely - and the blue is just perfect! I like to plant mauve, blue and white flowers together - but pink would be charming also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Beautiful! I would make some shorter type flowers to stagger the height in the bed. Maybe add a punch of yellow. Some tickseed, yellow (or red) poppies for height with the dels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
