Hi everyone, I'm slightly obsessed with these Strawflowers at the moment! Can you tell? They're so detailed and different to anything I've grown before. Very easy to grow from seed - they'd be good for children as you can use them for decoration/craft projects. Have a lovely day 🌞🌞🌞 #strawflower 😃 #grownfromseed

Aren’t they sweet. I’ve never grown them, I might have to have a go 👍
![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
Give them a go Jane, very easy - I got the seeds in Lidl for 50p or something! 😂 @pelly

Very pretty little flowers...💜

The Strawflowers so far ... hopefully the sun will encourage them to open 😃 #strawflowers
![comment comment](/profile/joanboston/images/150/profile_image_1007.jpeg)
Just a hint, if you are wanting to dry them, it’s better to cut them before they are fully open as they continue to open after cutting. 😀
![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
Morning Joan, thanks for letting me know 🙂 I'm really taken with these - interesting little things 🌼🌸🌼 @joanboston
![comment comment](/profile/churchfarmgarden/images/150/profile_image_177002.jpeg)
Haven't ever grown them, they're so unusual and pretty colours Ange
![comment comment](/profile/wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom/images/150/profile_image_6393.jpeg)
They look like those flowers you find in cactus 🌵 the ones that look as if they’re just stuck in....
![comment comment](/profile/joanboston/images/150/profile_image_1007.jpeg)
Angel I used to cut a long stem and hang a bunch upside down somewhere dry out of the strong light till they were really dry. Hope that helps 😀🤞
![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
Morning Sue, I love them! They're really easy to grow too, I'm fascinated by them. I picked the seed packet up in Lidl after seeing them on here, glad I did now 😃🌸🌼 @churchfarmgarden
![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
Yes, maybe this is what they use on 🌵🌵 they feel just the same 😃 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom
![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
Yes, thank you - I will be doing that 😃 I'm going to let the first few flower in the garden just to see them. Alan @alan1111 says to deadhead them too to keep them going (or pick them I suppose) 😃 @joanboston
![comment comment](/profile/churchfarmgarden/images/150/profile_image_177002.jpeg)
Good old Lidls 😅
![comment comment](/profile/suzieshadow1227gmailcom/images/150/profile_image_184728.jpeg)

![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
They're great aren't they? Do they last a while as a cut flower? 🌼🌼🌼 @Eeyore
![comment comment](/profile/juliesgarden/images/150/profile_image_1218.jpeg)

They’re so nice, ever year I say I’ll grow them and then forget to get the seeds 🤨
![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
They're about an inch across Elaine - I'm hoping for a few different colours 🤞 🙂 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom
![comment comment](/profile/anges/images/150/profile_image_125190.jpeg)
That's a great idea Tina, be sure to post a photo 🙂 I'll definitely grow them again next year 👌 @rainbowgardener

I haven't grown them before but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens! 😃 @ublaszko @rainbowgardener
![comment comment](/profile/ublaszko/images/150/profile_image_98898.jpeg)
Me neither. Mine are part of mixed flowers for drying so it will be interesting to see what else is in the packet.
Have a great weekend everyone 😃 No gardening for me, I'm painting my kitchen cupboards.... I maybe some time! 🥴 #pink #strawflower #septemberblooms 💕💕💕
Thanks and you too Ange. Happy painting 🙋♀️❤👩🎨
Morning Ange 🙋 remember the sheets to cover your worktops!
Good morning Ange happy painting🤗
Have fun 🖌🎨🖌
Thanks everyone, see you on the other side 😆 @flof1952 @jpea @godfreye @pelly
Morning Ange ..have fun !!
Fantastic photo Ange - you will feel so virtuous when your cupboards are looking like new😀
Have fun decorating Ange, that's on my to do list for October as we've had builders in for 4 weeks!
I painted cabinets for a living, you think I'm painting mine? Oh heck no! Lol
Thanks all! It's just me and the dog this weekend so thought it would be a good chance to get started 😃 Good luck Sue, it took my auntie 4 coats - I've done 1 coat so far 😄 I couldn't do this for a living Leslie, but so far so good! @juliesgarden @Auricula @lilybee @lesliecole49
Remember to lightly sand and dust between coats to keep a smooth finish
