For Sydnee + Nick.
Bold, enduring romance. Inspired by love and pomegranates.
Why we reflex roses!
Roses don’t have to be boring, closed, and stiff. Your florist will often reflex the petals on your roses to give them a huge impact in your bouquets and arrangements!
Ground installations are ✨ magical ✨ always.

Tulip Harvest!
Did you know that flower farmers grow tulips as annuals? The bulbs don’t have enough energy in them to produce a flower again the following year, so we harvest the whole plant, and compost the bulb.
These beautiful apricot parrot tulips will be hitting our Mother’s Day bouquets this week.

Let’s divide dahlia tubers!
Dividing your tubers can be a confusing task for first-time growers and gardeners. Here’s how to do it properly if you plan to divide in the fall.
Step 1: use the pressure sprayer nozzle on your hose to thoroughly wash off that dirt. You can also use an air compressor if you like, but I prefer water because it gets those tubers nice and clean and makes it easier to spot diseases like leafy gall.
Step 2: Clean up your tubers by snipping off all those roots coming off the end of the tuber. You do not need to keep these on, and it makes dividing much easier when you don’t need to work around stringy root systems that hold dirt.
Step 3: Locate those eyes! This tuber has about 5-7 eyes on it. Some tubers may only have 1. You only need 1 viable eye on a tuber for a new plant to grow. No eye? No dahlia.
Step 4: Carefully snip the tuber off the main clump, ensuring the eyes, neck, and body of the tuber are all viable. Remember: tuber size doesn’t matter… just the eye.
Step 5: Sort and label your tubers AS YOU GO. You’ll never remember what’s what later on.
Step 6: Once your tubers have dried thoroughly, store them in vermiculite or peat, being careful not to have them touch the plastic sides of your bins (because they could rot). Store over the winter in a cool, dry place, and check each month for moisture build up.
Happy dahlia dividing!

Growing ranunculus is an early spring job. These blooms will be done by the time the summer heat blows in. We’ve had an incredible May + early June for these beauties!
I’ve got lots to learn about perfecting these gorgeous flowers, but I’m ready for that long term commitment. The flower life is the only one for me.
