Thank you so much!!! I will check out this channel today 
perfect timing. Your notes are helpful too. I think sometimes my vase (I only have one) is too big because I will put the flowers in and they kind of splay outwards? Like they look pretty in my hands but then spread out so much they look sparse. I never thought of using rubber bands or getting a smaller vase I thought I was just doing it wrong, lol.

hahaha same here! i saw a bouquet tied and plopped in water on instagram and was like 
it’s a game-changer for sure, especially if you don’t want to own different 40 vases.

My eyes feast
the ranunculus are store bought but the rest are from my garden. not dead yet!
the little orange puffball zinnias in the short arrangement are so neat – all season they were like an ombre pinkie-salmon color and now they are straight up orange! wild

I bought some seeds that are perennials, which I didn’t know existed. I am thrilled because they are for things I have never seen as actual plants to purchase. I’m not sure how to plant them, the packets say to direct sow but I don’t know how that would look. My perennial beds are pretty neat/organized with space around each plant, not wild/random if that makes sense. My “plan” (such as it is) was to put a few seeds in a small pot to get them started, thinking that would then get transplanted and grow up to make a nice plant. I could certainly be all wrong though.
What I am used to buying for perennials is like a gallon pot that has a bunch of stems/blooms on it so it’s like a nice full plant. I plant it, it blooms, it might get a bit larger over the years, but not huge. If I direct sow, will I get individual stems from each seed? One tiny seed doesn’t make like a big plant, does it?
Each yarrow plant is a couple feet tall (maybe three) but skinny - think a flower stem, not a bush.
