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.

This is a silent video. Before we reopened on Tuesday, I had to make sure everything was s**c & span clean from top to bottom in our cooler. Everything was cleaned, sanitized, and disinfected before we received new fresh flowers. We are serious about the quality of our product and it all begins with cleanliness. Even the shelves got a fresh coat of paint.

It's fun working with our home grown flowers. Using one of our ceramic bird dishes, I designed this low profile arrangement with a sunflower, daisy mums, yellow mini carnations, blue ageratum, and lavender gomphrena. A space conscious arrangement perfect for the home, hospital, or just to buy for yourself.
