creating a cut flower border

Hi Follow i think a suggested list off nice flowers to grow and cut for presents or the house ,maybe the doctors surgery would be a really good idea and maybe the more knowledgeable threaders might give us some advise, im going to follow this one ,i think my partner would love to have a regular supply of cutting flowers and if we can get some i,ll be working on it , like im working on my spelling spell check gave 6 wrong but im working on that toooooo

lots of luck all
