Welcome to "Life in Bloom."

41
00:01:36,066 --> 00:01:39,366
Petals are the focus

42
00:01:37,466 --> 00:01:40,200
of today's episode.

43
00:01:39,366 --> 00:01:42,766
How many of us have asked

44
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,766
the iconic daisy who loves us?

45
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,733
The familiar act of plucking

46
00:01:44,333 --> 00:01:50,800
petals one by one,

47
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,800
questioning as we go, is

48
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:54,300
a satisfying exercise, isn't it?

49
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,566
On the other end of the petal

50
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,366
count is a rose or a peony,

51
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:59,200
with luxurious amounts of

52
00:01:55,566 --> 00:02:00,633
petals, almost too numerous to

53
00:01:57,366 --> 00:02:01,833
count.

54
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,866
However, my favorite reference

55
00:02:00,633 --> 00:02:05,333
to petals is from

56
00:02:01,833 --> 00:02:07,433
Constance Spry, a London florist

57
00:02:03,866 --> 00:02:09,166
known as the mother of modern

58
00:02:05,333 --> 00:02:10,166
floral design and known for

59
00:02:07,433 --> 00:02:11,700

60

62
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,866
It's said that

63
00:02:12,333 --> 00:02:17,066
one of her favorite moments

64
00:02:13,566 --> 00:02:18,633
was when the first petals began

65
00:02:14,866 --> 00:02:21,500
to drop from an arrangement.

66
00:02:17,066 --> 00:02:23,066
It is a reminder of the fleeting

67
00:02:18,633 --> 00:02:25,266

Many years ago,

73
00:02:31,633 --> 00:02:35,866
I was asked by my friend

74
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:37,266
Andy Koch from Eufloria Flowers

75
00:02:34,866 --> 00:02:37,266
to go to Amsterdam

76
00:02:35,866 --> 00:02:37,266
with him and his crew.

77
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,700
When we were there, we

78
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,033
were picking out new varieties

79
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,900
of roses

80
00:02:42,033 --> 00:02:45,466
that they would consider growing

81
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:48,233
on their flower farm

82
00:02:45,466 --> 00:02:49,833
to sell to florists and people

83
00:02:48,233 --> 00:02:49,833
all across the country.

84
00:02:50,066 --> 00:02:53,966
So, when we went to learn

85
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,800
about these roses,

86
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,933
and we would go to breeders,

87
00:02:53,966 --> 00:02:57,033
we would learn

88
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,600
about new varieties

89
00:02:55,933 --> 00:03:00,066
they were growing, about

90
00:02:57,033 --> 00:03:02,933
the color that they were,

91
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,666
the lasting quality that

92
00:03:00,066 --> 00:03:07,766
they had, and the petal count.

93
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:09,266
That was extremely important

94
00:03:04,666 --> 00:03:10,866
because a rose with more petals

95
00:03:07,766 --> 00:03:14,300
is more desirable

96
00:03:09,266 --> 00:03:16,600
because it gives us

97
00:03:10,866 --> 00:03:17,966
that big, voluptuous shape.

98
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:20,566
So, when we have lots of petals,

99
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,833
the rose looks fuller

100
00:03:17,966 --> 00:03:23,400
when we don't have as many.

101
00:03:20,566 --> 00:03:24,666
If you think about the roses

102
00:03:21,833 --> 00:03:27,000
that we grow in our garden,

103
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,433
many people refer to those as

104
00:03:24,666 --> 00:03:31,533
a noisette rose, which is like

105
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,166
the original floribunda rose.

106
00:03:29,433 --> 00:03:35,200
And it has a single row of

107
00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:36,366
petals around the center

108
00:03:33,166 --> 00:03:38,566
instead of multiple ones.

109
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,200
It looks a lot like this

110
00:03:36,366 --> 00:03:42,933
butterfly ranunculus.

111
00:03:38,566 --> 00:03:44,100
See how we've got petals?

112
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,166
Just one set.

113
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:47,700
Now, if we were to look at this,

114
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:52,433
we've got one, two, three,

115
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:54,166
four, five, six,

116
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:55,800
seven, eight, nine petals.

117
00:03:52,433 --> 00:03:57,500
This is what the original

118
00:03:54,166 --> 00:03:58,833
ranunculus look like.

119
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,400
We visited the flower farms

120
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:02,233
in California one time,

121
00:03:58,833 --> 00:04:05,266
and they talked about

122
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,566
how the person who developed the

123
00:04:02,233 --> 00:04:08,900
flower farm helped hybridize

124
00:04:05,266 --> 00:04:10,233
ranunculus that look like this

125
00:04:07,566 --> 00:04:13,733
to create ones

126
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:15,100
that looked like this,

127
00:04:10,233 --> 00:04:16,966
with multiple layers of petals.

128
00:04:13,733 --> 00:04:18,766
Petal count's important to

129
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:21,033
all sorts of flowers.

130
00:04:16,966 --> 00:04:24,100
Here we have a mini,

131
00:04:18,766 --> 00:04:26,433
or spray, carnation.

132
00:04:21,033 --> 00:04:29,600
These are advancements to a

133
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:32,666
dianthus that looks like this.

134
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:34,000
Again, we may only have ten sets

135
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,966
of petals around on this flower.

136
00:04:32,666 --> 00:04:39,166
This is the type of dianthus

137
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:41,033
that grows in our garden.

138
00:04:35,966 --> 00:04:43,133
And this is the hybridized form

139
00:04:39,166 --> 00:04:45,466
of a spray carnation

140
00:04:41,033 --> 00:04:47,833
that has lots of petals

141
00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:49,200
to make it look more ruffled.

142
00:04:45,466 --> 00:04:52,400
Now, petals are what we talk

143
00:04:47,833 --> 00:04:54,166
about for ranunculus

144
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:56,800
and roses and carnations.

145
00:04:52,400 --> 00:05:00,166
Hydrangeas, we don't necessarily

146
00:04:54,166 --> 00:05:02,266
refer to these as petals.

147
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,333
Each one of these little flowers

148
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:06,200
is an inflorescence.

149
00:05:02,266 --> 00:05:09,200
And each one of those

150
00:05:03,333 --> 00:05:10,833
little flowers has one, two,

151
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:12,366
three, four, five petals on it.

152
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,300
The inflorescents

153
00:05:10,833 --> 00:05:17,533
make up the entire bloom

154
00:05:12,366 --> 00:05:21,766
of the hydrangea.

155
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:24,166
So let's take a look at a hybrid

156
00:05:17,533 --> 00:05:25,800
tea rose versus a garden rose.

157
00:05:21,766 --> 00:05:29,500
This is a hybrid tea rose.

158
00:05:24,166 --> 00:05:33,833
And I just want to show you this

159
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:37,266
as an example of petal count.

160
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:40,800
We've got 1, 2, 3, 4...

161
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:46,466
9, 10, 11...

162
00:05:37,266 --> 00:05:49,333
18, 19, 20...

163
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:51,300
27, 28, 29, 30.

164
00:05:46,466 --> 00:05:52,800
So, we roughly have 30 petals

165
00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:53,833
on that rose.

166
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:56,533
And those 30 petals

167
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,100
help make that rose

168
00:05:53,833 --> 00:06:00,433
the fullness that you saw.

169
00:05:56,533 --> 00:06:04,133
Now, let's take a look

170
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:07,133
at the garden rose.

171
00:06:00,433 --> 00:06:11,300
1, 2, 3...

172
00:06:04,133 --> 00:06:12,733
12, 13, 14...

173
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:15,100
28, 29, 30.

174
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:16,300
Now, 30

175
00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:17,966
was how many we had over here.

176
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:19,566
And that's how many

177
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:21,833
more we have left.

178
00:06:17,966 --> 00:06:24,166
31, 32...

179
00:06:19,566 --> 00:06:28,400
56, 57, 58...

180
00:06:21,833 --> 00:06:32,066
81, 82, 83...

181
00:06:24,166 --> 00:06:34,333
98, 99.

182
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:36,433
So, very close to 100 petals

183
00:06:32,066 --> 00:06:38,000
on that versus the 30

184
00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:39,066
that we had on the other flower.

185
00:06:36,433 --> 00:06:40,400
So, you see, petal count

186
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,033
is important

187
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:43,966
because it makes our flowers

188
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,366
look more voluptuous,

189
00:06:42,033 --> 00:06:46,600
makes them look more full.

190
00:06:43,966 --> 00:06:48,766
At the same time,

191
00:06:45,366 --> 00:06:50,200
a flower like this can look

192
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:52,433
dainty and delicate, as well.

193
00:06:48,766 --> 00:06:54,000
I love flowers,

390
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,466
like G-U-A-R-D,

391
00:13:58,866 --> 00:14:04,500
because it's protecting

392
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:06,066
or guarding the petal

393
00:14:02,466 --> 00:14:08,366
from other things.

394
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:09,933
It's actually called the gard

395
00:14:06,066 --> 00:14:11,966
petal, G-A-R-D, named after

396
00:14:08,366 --> 00:14:13,200
William Gardiner,

397
00:14:09,933 --> 00:14:15,466
the professor that discovered

398
00:14:11,966 --> 00:14:17,400
that the petal

399
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:19,400
on the outside of the rose

400
00:14:15,466 --> 00:14:21,866
is half of a leaf

401
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:23,700
and half of a flower.

402
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:26,333
The petals on the inside

403
00:14:21,866 --> 00:14:29,500
have no ability to produce

404
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:30,700
photosynthesis, like leaves do.

405
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:34,166
But these outside ones do.

406
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:35,666
And what that means

407
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:37,266
is they draw water up the stem.

408
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:39,366
They also create photosynthesis

409
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:41,166
that feeds the flower

410
00:14:37,266 --> 00:14:42,166
and helps the flower get bigger

411
00:14:39,366 --> 00:14:44,133
and to grow.

412
00:14:41,166 --> 00:14:45,600
Now, the interesting thing

413
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:48,933
about it is you can see

414
00:14:44,133 --> 00:14:49,766
how that petal

415
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:52,100
is half leaf and half flower.

416
00:14:48,933 --> 00:14:53,433
It has that wonderful,

417
00:14:49,766 --> 00:14:55,933
little green stripe on the side.

418
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:58,266
If it's damaged

419
00:14:53,433 --> 00:15:00,633
and looks unsightly, like this,

420
00:14:55,933 --> 00:15:02,066
you can remove it.

421
00:14:58,266 --> 00:15:03,866
But when you remove that petal,

422
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:06,066
you also create

423
00:15:02,066 --> 00:15:07,300
an area down here

424
00:15:03,866 --> 00:15:10,033
that it can draw air through.

425
00:15:06,066 --> 00:15:11,600
So, it will shorten

426
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:12,900
the vase life of your flower.

427
00:15:10,033 --> 00:15:15,033
The other interesting thing

428
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:18,266
about these petals

429
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:20,433
is you'll notice

430
00:15:15,033 --> 00:15:23,066
that the gard petal recedes,

431
00:15:18,266 --> 00:15:25,000
and these petals don't get

432
00:15:20,433 --> 00:15:26,433
as big as the other petals

433
00:15:23,066 --> 00:15:28,433
on the outside.

434
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,766
They hold on

435
00:15:26,433 --> 00:15:32,000
and support the flower.

436
00:15:28,433 --> 00:15:34,200
So, you'll notice that

437
00:15:29,766 --> 00:15:37,333
these petals on the back side

438
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,866
are holding this flower up

439
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:40,800
as it expands and gets bigger.

440
00:15:37,333 --> 00:15:43,233
Another interesting thing

441
00:15:38,866 --> 00:15:45,166
about the gard petal is those

442
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:47,166
petals are sometimes older.

443
00:15:43,233 --> 00:15:48,666
And as they age,

444
00:15:45,166 --> 00:15:50,166
they change color,

445
00:15:47,166 --> 00:15:53,000
and they allow us to have

446
00:15:48,666 --> 00:15:55,866
an enhancement

447
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:57,366
on the outside of the rose,

448
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,233
giving it a bicolor effect.

449
00:15:55,866 --> 00:16:01,833
Again, those petals

450
00:15:57,366 --> 00:16:03,966
are supporting all

451
00:15:59,233 --> 00:16:05,900
the other petals on the inside

452
00:16:01,833 --> 00:16:07,400
and helping it draw water

453
00:16:03,966 --> 00:16:08,566
up to that beautiful flower.

454
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:09,366
Leave your gard petals on,

455
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,033

456
00:16:08,566 --> 00:16:13,033
You'll have

457

477
00:16:42,166 --> 00:16:46,166
I use watercolor paper

as the background

479
00:16:44,166 --> 00:16:52,033
for this petal piece of art.

480
00:16:46,166 --> 00:16:54,300
I like it because it has great

481
00:16:47,433 --> 00:16:56,066
texture, and it's matte white.

482
00:16:52,033 --> 00:16:58,000
I'll start with my calla lilies.

483
00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:58,966
I'll take one piece of skin off

484
00:16:56,066 --> 00:17:00,233
one side of the stem of the

485
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,800
calla lily bloom.

486
00:16:58,966 --> 00:17:04,833
What this does is

487
00:17:00,233 --> 00:17:06,733
makes it more pliable

488
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:07,733
and makes it curve very easily.

489
00:17:04,833 --> 00:17:09,266
I'll do that to two of them.

490
00:17:06,733 --> 00:17:10,433
And then my third one,

491
00:17:07,733 --> 00:17:11,400
I'll cut shorter.

492
00:17:09,266 --> 00:17:13,133
That'll be the foundation

493
00:17:10,433 --> 00:17:14,866

I like

another way to make a composite

588
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:38,933
flower,

589
00:20:35,233 --> 00:20:39,833
known as the duchess rose.

590
00:20:37,633 --> 00:20:40,800
This method differs from other

591
00:20:38,933 --> 00:20:42,366
projects we have shown

592
00:20:39,833 --> 00:20:43,433
on previous episodes

594
00:20:42,366 --> 00:20:46,500
I created an orchid

595
00:20:43,433 --> 00:20:47,533
composite flower

596
00:20:44,566 --> 00:20:49,333

597
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,800
You can make a duchess rose

598
00:20:47,533 --> 00:20:52,900
that way, too.

599
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:54,300
I also showed the time-honored

600
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:56,300
method of creating a glamelia,

601
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:58,700
like my grandpa "Carnation" Joe

602
00:20:54,300 --> 00:21:00,633
did back in the day, using

603
00:20:56,300 --> 00:21:03,133
floral tape and florist wire.

604
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:04,466
It's truly a lost art,

605
00:21:00,633 --> 00:21:06,100
and it takes a lot of patience.

606
00:21:03,133 --> 00:21:07,466

607
00:21:04,466 --> 00:21:09,733
that way, as well.

608
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:11,233
Here's another way to create

609
00:21:07,466 --> 00:21:13,266
a composite flower from roses,

610
00:21:09,733 --> 00:21:15,433
or, as I like to call it,

611
00:21:11,233 --> 00:21:17,033
the duchess rose.

612
00:21:13,266 --> 00:21:18,633
This is a classic florist term

613
00:21:15,433 --> 00:21:19,866
and references a rose

614
00:21:17,033 --> 00:21:21,233
that is oversized

615
00:21:18,633 --> 00:21:22,900
and typically created from

616
00:21:19,866 --> 00:21:25,566
several flowers

617
00:21:21,233 --> 00:21:26,500
to give it a more opulent,

618
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:28,333
full, vivacious appearance.

619
00:21:25,566 --> 00:21:29,600
And I'll create it using

620
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:31,800
floral adhesive.

621
00:21:28,333 --> 00:21:33,033
That's a professional flower

622
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,633
glue you can get online,

623
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,500
or you can also use

624
00:21:33,033 --> 00:21:38,566
rubber cement.

625
00:21:35,633 --> 00:21:39,566
We'll start with three roses.

626
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:41,700
These have an enormous amount

627
00:21:38,566 --> 00:21:42,766
of petals, and they're going

628
00:21:39,566 --> 00:21:44,000
to make a great duchess rose.

629
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:45,066
One of them is darker.

630
00:21:42,766 --> 00:21:47,966
The other two are lighter.

631
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,766
So, that's going to work well

632
00:21:45,066 --> 00:21:50,200
for contrasting petals.

633
00:21:47,966 --> 00:21:51,466
We'll remove the petals

634
00:21:48,766 --> 00:21:52,666
and lay them facedown.

635
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,233
I just go through and sort,

636
00:21:51,466 --> 00:21:56,333
making sure to discard any

637
00:21:52,666 --> 00:21:57,066
petals that might have a blemish

638
00:21:54,233 --> 00:21:59,333
or look bad.

639
00:21:56,333 --> 00:22:00,333
We'll choose our one

640
00:21:57,066 --> 00:22:01,600
that'll be our center rose.

641
00:21:59,333 --> 00:22:03,966
We'll flip it around

642
00:22:00,333 --> 00:22:05,466
on the back side,

643
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,733
and we'll remove the calyx,

644
00:22:03,966 --> 00:22:08,333
just peeling it off

645
00:22:05,466 --> 00:22:08,933
so that we've got a good surface

646
00:22:06,733 --> 00:22:10,666
to glue to.

647
00:22:08,333 --> 00:22:11,833
Then we can start

648
00:22:08,933 --> 00:22:12,466
with our floral adhesive.

649
00:22:10,666 --> 00:22:13,800
It's just like rubber cement.

650
00:22:11,833 --> 00:22:15,100
So, we want to put it

651
00:22:12,466 --> 00:22:18,166
on the surface and let it dry

652
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,200
a little bit before we start

653
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:20,166
to apply two surfaces together.

654
00:22:18,166 --> 00:22:22,100
We'll apply it to the back

655
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,333
of the rose

656
00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:25,333
and let that dry as I apply it

657
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:26,600
to the rest of the petals.

658
00:22:24,333 --> 00:22:27,900
I'm going to flip the petals

659
00:22:25,333 --> 00:22:30,100
over and place the glue

660

662

669
