Today’s Bouquets are special arrangements of living plants which are beautiful and/or are fragrant.  All of the arrangements are mixtures of perennials, with some hardy self-sowing annuals, that favor full sun to partial shade. Small enough for the Northern yard, in their containers, which must be protected during cold, freezing weather, yet hardy enough for the Southern yard, either in their containers OR in the ground, for a mini-garden! This truly makes them a perfect gift ~ in the arrangement, inside (at least ONE of the plants is guaranteed to be fragrant!), until after the last frost; and then planted as a ‘bunch,’ to make a small, fragrant garden outside, which, being perennial, will return year after year!

None of these plants is particularly hard to grow, no matter where you live.  The care instructions are mostly for normal watering, which, to me, is twice per week (Wendy’s~Day and Son~Day, of course!), with feeding of Expert Grow or Expert Bloom on Son~Day’s.  

A little tip here ~ i was a real stickler for time, and tried to hurry things up, like watering. Folks, do yourselves a BIG favor ~ buy, and USE, a nice watering can. A controlled, gentle flow of life~giving water is just wEnderful for your plants! And when you feed ‘em? Allow the water to wash over their leaves ~ they’ll eat from them, also, and washing off any oils or dust is always a good idea.
