We just got out last batch of beautiful poinsettias in today. They are exceptional quality. You may think all poinsettias are all the same, not so. There is a big difference between supermarket and mass merchandiser plants and those you find at Country Gardens. Our poinsettias are strong and vibrant and full. When sending as a gift, go with the best and don't shortchange yourself. Lot of colors to choose from right now. Of course, we can delivery your plant if needed anywhere in our delivery area, Bay City, Essexville, Munger, Reese, Kawkawlin, Linwood, and Auburn.

Oh my gosh. It's been so long since I've posted anything you've probably thought I left the earth. Well here are a few pics from this morning. While it's getting near the end, we still have some cemetery decorations available - blankets, mounds(small tree-like) and wreaths. We will have them til we run out of greens to make them. Oh, we can also deliver to the cemetery too if you have need for that.

In honor of our anniversary in business, I'm posting a flower id.quiz. See how many of the flowers we grew this summer you recognize.

Oh my gosh, I completely forgot. We just started our 42nd year at Country Garden Flowers. September 30th 1983- 2024. Time is certainly flying by. Here is a picture of our very first van, about 5 years old at the time.

Of course these are sunflowers, picture taken in our back cooler. Also grown here at our shop. There are many varieties available, these are pollenless so you don't have to worry about them making a mess, unlike your husband. Happy, ha, Haa! That includes me.

Nothing says summer like zinnias. This is the Queen series, Lemon peach I think is the color. Beautiful variety. A nice double, compact flower. Home grown here at Country Garden Flowers.

More interesting, under used garden flowers. Ageratum or floss flower is a nice filler flower in arrangements. Can take the place of babies breath or statice. Has a soft fragrance.

Started these seeds in January 2025. Not knowing what I was really getting. 8 months later, here is what we have. Didn't realize it is in the Spider plant species. Kind of interesting and a little different. Might have to re-pot them into some larger pots to see how they fill in .

We grow a lot of our own cut flowers during the summer to use in our fresh arrangements. In this bucket is about 5 different varieties of Celosia. Just look at the colors and shapes and textures. So fun to use, and people will comment that they have never seen anything that different or unusual.

This is just a few pictures of some of our own home grown eucalyptus that I harvested this morning. It is very fragrant with a high oil content. I am impressed with it. I sowed the seeds back in January of this year to get them started. I still have more to cut too.
This harvest is the result of COVID 19. Back then when we were forced to close the shop because of it, I needed to keep myself occupied and motivated. I signed up for several online Flower Farming classes. I learned a lot and continue to learn. There is always something more to learn.

A view out our back door this morning at work. Misty, foggy, and a little damp. Should turn out to be a nice day.
