Made these bouquets from some of my flowers, and the queen Anne's lace from the ditch across the road. Used my milk bottle again for a vase. :):)
Cone flowers, black eyed Susans, and the lace.
This lace is in a vase with red food coloring. Why? Mildred at Cattails said her sister once told her if you put queen Anne's lace in a vase with food coloring the lace would turn that color. So since I am more curious than any cat...I am trying this. I made these bouquets yesterday. This morning there was a tinge of pink on the lace. I will leave it a day or two and get a photo.LOL I know, I know, I need something to do. LOL.
While I sit here and think of something fun to do...I am wishing all of you a beautiful day . XS
Yes, I am curious to see how the flowers change color, I've heard that about carnations too. I think the lace adds such a 'fancy' touch to the daisys too.
ReplyDeleteLinda, If this works, I'll try it on all white flowers. LOL. Isn't it amazing how somethings are considered weeds but work with other flowers. I love to see poppies and roses with the lace. Hope you are starting your week with something fun. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSuch pretty bouquets, Susie. Glad you had some food coloring to try on the lace. I hope you have a nice beginning to the week.
ReplyDeleteHI Mildred, Hope you don't mind me mentioning you in my post today. I was hoping to see a big change, it honestly had a bit of pink, ever so faint but there. My Ted is taking me to lunch today...gotta love that man. :):) I'll post a picture of the lace if it changes more. Blessings for a sweet new week, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a nice idea Susie. I might want to try that myself but not today. It's going to be in the 90's and humid so I'll probably be in with my AC on.
ReplyDeleteHave an enjoyable Monday. See ya.

I am going to tell my sisters too. There's a ditch full of lace across from us....oh that farmer truly needs to mow. LOL. Blessings for abeautiful week. Love you my friend, Susie
DeleteSusie, that is so interesting about the Queen Anne's Lace, and I didn't know that. I'd love to see it in a few days. It looks so pretty in the red vase - love the contrast between the red and white.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful week, Susie.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, It did turn reddish colored. So interesting. Emma is spending the night and tomorrow we will do some blue ones. Blessings, love you,Susie
DeleteWe use to do the food coloring with white daisies. It truly worked.
ReplyDeleteI like using milk bottles or mason jars for vases.
Wanda, I told my husband that if this worked I would be trying in on other flowers. LOL. It is working truly. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love bouquets of wild flowers and Queen Ann's Lace is one of my favorites! I also love Baby's Breath! I will gather a bouquet of flowers here on the ranch tomorrow in your honor! They are mostly yellow, I notice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, You make me smile. Those queen Anne's lace are turning red colored...not dark but it is red. So fun...you know our grandkids will love this. Blessings to all at the ranch. Love you guys, Susie
DeleteLove any wild flowers in a vase. Yours are gorgeous. I did not know that about the food clor and Queen Ann's Lace. How sweet. I may have to try this if it works for you. Have a fun day.
ReplyDeleteKris
Kris, I can see clover and and queen Anne's lace in the ditch across form here . In some ditches it's the lace and corn flowers of periwinkle color. Kind of pretty really. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSuch lovely bouquets! And fun 'vases', too :)
ReplyDeleteSusan
Thank you Susan. I do have a mason jar I use for a vase at times. I guess if I get the flowers from a ditch a jar is so perfect. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteYou're like a mad scientist creating Frankenflower!
ReplyDeletePaul, You cracked me up with that comment. I am going to get my little assistant Igor, I mean Emma to do more today. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThese vases are darling and I've heard of this trick with Queen Anne's Lace--have to try it. I have it in my backyard!
