A challenge for those ladies & gentlemen that make bunches of flowers for home or sale.
I’ve just had a crazy idea
After looking at the quaking grass thread.
See who can make the most attractive and creative bunch of grasses
. GRASSES ONLY !
Any time of year , when ever you think the best selection is available. One in each season if you like. This can be an on going challenge
. If those of you that sell want to see if grass sells, do it
( I know some grass sells but that a completely different grass
) .
Let’s see everyone’s grass bunches here. Go on boys & girls you know you like a challenge.
I have no room to grow grasses! Just the odd one or two...I don't think I would have enough for a bunch at one time?
I'm out! Can't stand grasses. Probably have some seed packets you can have though.
Here’s my autumn/ winter grasses. I’ve only deliberately grown the quaking grass. The rest is just what’s around the field & garden.

Your grasses don’t have to be all home grown
.
My spring bunch will be better. The cotton grass will be out then
Got no grass. Even the lawn is yellow with drought.

I would be interested to see if you can sell something like this - cos I hate grasses
anything "dried" really.
I have changed my mind with FEWs helichrysum ... I've found that I quite like them, love the colours, though I hate the sound they make. First time i've grown statice was this year - not keen on that either but it's worked brilliantly in bunches.... the thought of cleaning up all those grass seeds when they land on the table
Can’t go wrong with helichrysum ….. though I cannot grow statice for the life of me. Have just been out and picked a decent quantity of stuff for tomorrow’s Market.
Gets harder every week!

Is this a challenge?
Here’s my pickings!
But …… my customers don’t like yellow!
But you’re right ….. I ought to have another go with dahlias - they look fabulous.
