This is “Art Design” and I waited 2 years to meet it. It’s a masterpiece in daffodil design, to be honest. I’m not even sure if words can make justice to these pictures but I just love it. I with it was a little taller, it stands on 8-10” stems, but the beautiful of the furled centers is unparalleled. Yesterday I posted “Popeye” as the cover photo, but Art Design feels like the fancier, more refined version. Both breathtaking, both fragrant but Art Design truly delivered on its promise, or, my expectations. I hope you like it as much as I do. The Fall Bulb sale this year will be lit! Ahaah mark your calendars, October 17, 2025.

The daffodils are blooming! This is the patch that froze last year and almost got zapped forna frost last week. I’ve been trying to document and photograph them as fast as I can. The bed that was planted last fall still has a few weeks before they really pop off. I’m so happy to see all these babies. Many, unfortunately, will not make the cut in the trial, but I think you’ll love the ones that will. Tulips should be coming soon, although I did find deer damage on some yesterday. We redid the whole fence around the farm before the end of the day yesterday, so hopefully they won’t come in again.

I have a question for you: when it comes to daffodils, what are some of the characteristics and features that you look for? Or what are your favorites? I’m trying to see if what I look for is what you look for! ;) Let me know in the comments!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s been such a busy week here. April is when the farm wakes up and it feels like the to-do list never ends. I’m excited to increase our team so we are hiring for three positions right now, be sure to check them out in the link in my profile.

In the meantime, the ski season has come to an end, so our deliveries have slowed down. But, starting Christmas of last year, we partnered with in Big Sky, the only One&Only in the country. I could not be more excited about this partnership to provide flowers for one of the most exclusive resorts in the world.

Our goal for the arrangements is to look very local, and very appropriate to the setting. Move over peonies and ranunculus. We’re bringing to light the beauty of evergreens, with accents of Magnolia and Olive to complement the interior of the hotel, that is simply to die for.

The Landing restaurant is open for apres fining dining style, and I can’t wait for the hotel to open and start welcoming guests and all the beautiful possibilities of this endeavor. If you are in the area, I highly recommend the restaurant for some of the best food I’ve ever had.

Hotel and Restaurant design is not new to me, in fact, if you know a little bit about the story of The Flower Hat, that’s where my floral design career began 14 years ago.

I’m looking at our dahlia tubers today as well, and hoping to announnce a dahlia tuber sale soon.

Have a beautiful weekend, my friends.

Hi Friends! It is with great excitement that I announce that I am featured in the book “The Flower Farmers”, by Debra Prinzing and Rob Avni, ( ) coming out May 6th, 2025. I’m just going to jump right in and say, you can now pre-order it from my store. Each order of the book will include:

✍️A copy of the book signed by me
🥔FOUR Dahlia Tubers!
🪴An entry for a chance to win one of 30 Sanguisorba plant starts from my farm!

This book tells the inspiring stories of 29 farms all across North America, their business model and spotlights a specialty crop from each grower.

When Debra first approached me about this book, I was a speaker at the Slow Flower Summit way back in 2023. She introduced me to Robin, co-author, and they asked me what my favorite flower was, as a flower farmer. I didn’t say Ranunculus, or tulips, or dahlias, even. Instead, I think I stunned them both when I blurted out: “Hands down, Sanguisorba!”. It has been my favorite flower to grow since I started farming, all thanks to my dear friend Jenn from , who gifted me my first plant. But if you want to hear the full reason why it’s my favorite, you’ll have to get the book! ;)

This super exclusive pre-order sale through my website only goes through April 18th, 2025 to ensure I can sign and pack your orders for you.

Thank you Debra and Robin for including me in this wonderful project alongside these amazing farmers. I am thrilled.

Oh hi! It’s me!

I wanted to send the most heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone that participated in the Anemone and Ranunculus Sale restock yesterday. Y’all almost sold out the entire store in one day, it was the quickest sell out we ever had! I know I keep saying this, but your support truly means the world to me. The Flower Hat literally wouldn’t exist without you and I am forever grateful for you. Thank you so much! We’re already shipping orders, you should be getting tracking numbers soon. If you want to grab a few more bulbs, head over to the store. You can filter the products by availability and you’ll see we still have Cafe Ranunculus, White Anemones, Red and White Anemones… THANK YOU!

It is with great excitement that I announce that our Ranunculus and Anemone bulb shop is now open, on our website www.theflowerhat.com . Over the last few years, I’ve grown tens of thousands of these flowers and it’s such a joy to share these bulbs with you. Learning to grow them in Montana has been a challenge but once I learned that they are hardy to our cool temperatures in the spring, I decided to add them to our “Hardy Annual” schedule. If you have been wanting to give these easy to grow flowers a try, now is the time. The shop will be open for just a short period of time so snag some before they’re gone. All order will include access to my 30+ page illustrated growing guide, so you can be sure that you’re on the right track to get these babies blooming beautifully for you. This guide is a culmination of years of experience, trials and errors that cost me a fortune to learn. It is my hope that it will fast track you to success. We are shipping orders this week so you can get them in the ground still in plenty of time to enjoy an amazing crop. Thank you so much for your support! It means the world to me.

EXCITING UPDATE ABOUT THE SALE: You now have access to WISHLIST button! The ground is thawing here and the snow is melting and that’s getting me excited to start planting ranunculus and anemones. If you are in the same boat as me, remember you can get bulbs in our sale that starts tomorrow, March 11, 2025 at 10AM MDT, on our website. The CATALOG IS LIVE and you can add items to your wishlist to make shopping easier and faster tomorrow morning. Click link in my bio to access the store. If you have questions about the sale, or about ranunculus and anemone growing, let me know in the comments below. I’ll be answering questions this afternoon.

Ranunculus Bulb Sale Update - Hi friends, I’ve been working all day on finalizing the Ranunculus AND anemone bulb offering for our Restock Sale. It’s coming up soon on March 11th, 2025. These sales can be so crazy when they open and due to a number of requests, I have decided to announce the exact time of the sale exclusively to our Newsletter subscribers. If you’d like to be in the know and get ready for the sale when it opens, head over to the link in my bio. Our sales have been known to sell out in minutes so if you want to be there when it opens, I’m sending out a newsletter tomorrow morning with all the details. Be sure to sign up. I’m also sending a full list of the catalog that will be available so you can start making your wish list.

If you’re wondering if it is too late to plant ranunculus or if you’re wondering why I’m having a sale now, when most are in the Fall, I’ll tell you. Northern states like Montana or areas that have harsh winters but mild spring can still plant ranunculus and anemones. Most growers in southern states plant their bulbs in the fall and overwinter them for a Spring crop. Due to extreme cold temperatures in the winter, I can’t do that. After many unsuccessful trials, I’ve learned the best time to plant these is early spring. So many of you are in the same situation that I thought you could still get bulbs if you missed our sale in the fall. Also be sure to share this with a friend in case they may be looking for some garden gems.

I hope to see you there!

Hi everyone, Happy Tuesday.

Ranunculus and Anemone Sale is coming!

Temperatures are finally starting to warm up and I’m getting super excited about spring. As you may know, Montana is pretty cold to overwinter ranunculus, especially if your crop is field grown, like mine is. I usually wait until late March into early April to plant my bulbs at the farm. I’m excited to announce that due to a huge number of requests over the last few months, we are going to have a Ranunculus and Anemone bulb sale soon! There’s still plenty of time to plant your bulbs so don’t think you missed out on these beautiful AND easy to grow flowers. Click the link in bio to sign up for the Waitlist and get first hand information on Sale Dates and details. See you there!

She went out the door yesterday, and she was a beauty. Human for scale.

It’s been so busy here at the studio! Gabby, Claire and I slayed over the last few days, we made so many arrangements for delivery and they all turned out so beautiful. More deliveries on Monday!

Happy Weekend everyone!

People always ask me if it’s too late to plant bulbs, and this is me yesterday. I planted the remaining 1,200 or so tulip bulbs for spring ‘25 trial and a few more hundred daffodils. The trench had been dug up already so covering them was the hard part. The tractor came in quite handy to left the dirt and I used a shovel to break up any bigger clumps that were frozen. It was a beautiful 46F day and while it was wet, the bib made the job much easier. I’ve been quiet here on Instagram, we’re currently on “vacation” but this is the time that I take to work on back end stuff for the business, accounting, planning for the next year and the future of the business, work with clients to plan their weddings… while there’s always plenty to post, I’m taking this time to focus on some of the not-so glamours part of floral design. Happy Friday!
