Can you name these flowers?

[WelshMoth]

I went on a small craft course this weekend and we made these (pic).

I love them and would love to try growing them in preparation for SDD's wedding next year. I recognise the pale green plant - it's in my garden but no idea what they're called, how to grow them and whether I'll be able to grow them this year ready to use for next May's wedding.

Please help!

Very pretty!

It'd hard to see well, but I think the green flowers are alchemilla mollis
the dusky pink ones are astrantia, the brighter pinks look like a kind of dianthus (don't know the english name for that kind) and the white ones i would guess santini.

Beside the santini I've seen them all in gardens' but can't speak about flowering time in the UK.

Thanks Qwebec!

In my minds eye, I'm going to do some frantic gardening and hope that there'll be a decent enough spread by next May! I don't have enough experience for anything other than jam jars but if we can grow enough to do at about 30 (me, SDD's Mum and our combined army of family) for deco around the venue.

Looks like a sprig of rosemary on the left of the first photo.

I doubt that most of those would be reliably flowering in May. Perhaps the way to approach this would be to find out what should be in bloom in May (and this could depend a bit on whether early or late in the month and where you live) and then which of those are good as cut flowers?

Errol of course you're right. I think I was getting a bit carried away.

It's a lovely idea, and you may be able to grow some of what you need - foliage for sure.

Our garden isn't very large and all
Available borders are taken. Would large pots do the trick?

Pots are probably a good idea for this, if you have somewhere to put them and can water if there's a dry spell (there often seems to be late winter and/or spring).

For a similar look that would for in with the timing, you could try Sarah Raven. She sells "collections" of plants that look good together in a vase ( or bouquet) and her catalogue has lots of info about flowering times.

Ooohhh fab - thanks for that!
