I can see them through my french doors but it's not the same. My husband is very sensitive to scents. I can't use perfume and need to wash clothes with unscented detergents.

If you get that greenhouse up and running in 2017, would you like to use it for starting plants for an annual cutting garden, NyBoy?
You would have some opportunities there if the greenhouse space could be matched by several beds outdoors. Perhaps one bed for biennials since that season starts earlier. Then, your clippers can move over to the annuals.
Cutting gardens aren't always wonderfully attractive ... but, from a distance ...
Your showy perennials could be left for landscaping value and the other flowers can come indoors ... or, for the patio.

Sunday I finally planted the last of the seedlings I'd started early this spring. Too long a wait for some of them and lots of packets didn't even get opened for starting.

NY, I love to decorate outdoor spaces with cut flowers as well, especially when expecting guests or having a big get together. For those events I usually scour the local roadsides for wild flowers to augment my own flowers and have huge bouquets out on the porches or the outdoor tables and also on the steps.
I'll usually use old ceramic or pottery vases, old crocks, old baskets, Mason jars, etc.

with outdoor flowers you can really get creative about what you use for a vase.

Wow Red how long was it in flower? Now the hard part getting it to reflower I always give them away after flowering.
