May 1st Flower wreath

thats lovely, what a nice thing to do

The first time I make a wreath all of my flowers were just falling to the ground and I kept putting them back on....it took me a few year but I finally got the hang of it.

lovely wreath, lovely custom ~ can you do a blog to show us how you made it ~ please?

And you have all that blooming at the moment!!

are they from your garden?

Oh boy Stickitoffee....a blog!!! Impossible this week, but I will try soon. (I hope).
Most of the flowers are from my garden except for the snowballs, they are from my mom's tree mine is still too small.

Meanie, this is not a good year...usually there are a lot more flowers to choose from.

dont worry! they are beautiful flowers ~ cant imagine having such exotic plants in my garden
its such a lovely idea having a wreath on the door for may ~ we only have them for christmas

Custom has it that you keep it for 40days. It looks horrible by the end but I've been keeping it.
I've always wanted one for Christmas...will make one this year.
I'm sure you have most of these plants in your garden.
Bottle brush, Calla lily, wild garlic, Snowball tree, Geranium and a branch from my Acacia tree.

bottle brush will grow in devon where my mum lives, cala would have to be inside i think
snowball tree would be ok as would geranium, and wild garlic grows wild.
not sure about acacia?

There you go. You can make your own exotic wreath ;o)))

except that i dont have any in my garden.

Oh...
I will make my blog with plants that you do have in your garden then. ;o)

dont worry ~ either way.
do you wire them to hold them? our christmas ones are sometimes put into the green foam 'oasis'

Alexandramou:

Very festive flower wreath!

Delonix,
I'm going to try and make one this x-mas...I hope.

Well, it appears you definitely have the talent. :>)

LOL.....believe me it took me many years and many flowers that somehow ended up on the floor. ;o)))

At least you've perfected it now. :>)

Far from perfect but it looks good. ;o)))
