Beautiful Flowers (Finally) Arrive in Gardens
As you’ve no doubt noticed if you follow these things, the current fashion in bouquets has oneness at its heart. Either it’s one kind of flower — roses, say or gerbera daisies — or it’s one color: white or pink or (in the higher rent districts) green. Not usually purple, it must be admitted, but otherwise this is typical, or typical of one colorness, anyway. Gladioli and sweet peas are not typically buddies but this has been a weird summer. This year, the kind of bouquets my old friend Sharon calls “It must be August,” only became possible in early September. Most of the good annual cutting flowers take time to start producing in earnest, and that goes double for the ones you get by letting things like Verbena bonariensis and nigella self-sow.
