New Cut Flower Trends



Found this blog Growing with Plants this guy has found some unusual cut flowers.  Green dianthus?  Dyed sweet peas?  I myself like unusual plants but I don't like dyed flowers.  Very interesting. 


I am now on a hunt for dianthus a.k.a. pinks you know the old cottage garden type.  I found several sites that sell the ones I want unfortunately they are in the UK such as Allswood and Whetman Pinks.  
This is a bouquet with Sweet Williams and a gorgeous pink rose from a few years ago.  I planted  several hundred Sweet Williams last year and should have a great crop this year.
Dianthus 'Suffolk Hussar'
Isn't it so cute
