A Variety of Items<br />
1. Additional New Member Details<br />
My sincere apologies are due to Mrs. Brenda Pearson whose<br />
details I omitted from the new member listing published in the<br />
January <strong>2018</strong> edition of Faith & Flowers.<br />
Roger<br />
Mrs. Brenda Pearson, Parish Church of St. Peter, Bolton.<br />
Liverpool Branch.<br />
2. A new bloom – Princess Charlotte<br />
The flower is pale green and very pale pink inside and very long<br />
lasting (interesting but I didn’t like it very much, Ed.)<br />
3. Summer annuals for flower arranging.<br />
Flowers which last well in water – sweet peas, cosmos, rubbekia,<br />
antirrhinum, sunflowers.<br />
Choose seeds of taller varieties – long stemmed flowers are better<br />
in vases than bushy, compact varieties, except sunflowers. Tall<br />
sunflowers produce a single flower unlike the bushy variety<br />
which produces many flowers per plant.<br />
Choose white or green flowers to fill in with other colours i.e.<br />
green nicotiana and Moluccella Laevis (bells of Ireland) and<br />
bupleurum rotundifolium which has greeny gold flowers and<br />
eucalyptus-like foliage. Gypsophila for white obviously but note<br />
it does need alkaline soil.<br />
4. To make you smile<br />
Two-and-a-half-year-old Ben was given a piece of cheese to eat<br />
by his grandmother who forgot that it was extra mature. Ben<br />
pulled a face and said, “This is bisdusting”.<br />
