Ep 21 - Chrysanthemum and Sedum

Fabulous Flowers tv duo Paulie & Lucy tackle the Chrysanthemum. 

Known as a ‘Mums’ or ‘Chrysanths’,  they can be thought of in some circles as a bit ‘fuddy duddy’ …..but hear how Paulie invites you to re-embrace this bloom and use it in a more contemporary and stylish way.  It’s an "AYR" for any florist, so if you want to know that that florists secret code means, you’ll just have to listen!   And they do last forever in a vase, anywhere, so what’s not to like?

In all colours, all sizes and all varieties these star like blooms are easy to plant and grow, super easy to source for use at home and have been used over centuries to make tea, eaten as vegetables and can even help with air pollution in your home.  Truly surprising and much over looked plants. 

Sharing a red and white inspired Chrysanthemum celebrity event…Paulie shares some insider party tales on all things Trump!… maybe not what you’d expect. And don’t forget - ‘The Client is always right!”

The Floriography Fun Fact in this episode is on succulents and in particular, the architectural, self assured Sedum.  Its Floriography message is rather endearing, based on the way it grows and how it presents itself.  A truly fabulous, interesting and carbon neutral roof covering plant too - all over the world. 

This is twenty minutes of floral fun, including a little bit of French, a smattering of Latin and even a cup of Earl Grey with a Florentine. What's not to like?
