FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY.
There are a ton of variables that go into how long a flower lasts when it is cut: the flower variety, the time of day it was cut, the maturity of the flower, your mood when you cut it (jk šŸ˜‰)…

A couple weeks ago I used this echinacea in my arrangements only to discover that it wilted after only 3 days. 🄺 Last week, I kicked off an experiment cutting it at various stages to try to figure out what went wrong...
Good news: They’ve all lasted over a week this time around šŸŽ‰
Bad news: I still have no idea why they wilted so quickly a few weeks ago šŸ˜…

This beautiful climbing rose is one of my favorites! Each blossom has over 100 petals and words can’t describe how gorgeous they are.

Unfortunately, the blooms last 3 days tops in a vase so I don’t use them in my arrangements but I made sure to take time to enjoy them this weekend.

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY
It’s officially the first day of summer and that means it’s time for some of my lazy gardening hacks:

1) Plant your flowers close together. If you do this, there’s no room/sunlight for weeds to grow.

2) For those of you growing summer annuals like zinnias, cosmos, and gomphrena: don’t feel like you need to pick all the flowers. Let some ā€œdieā€ on the plant, these will drop seeds and give you flowers for next year!

3) Remember that no matter how hard you try, you can’t control nature šŸ˜… so give yourself plenty of grace and let nature do its thing… Case in point: this is a photo of last year’s zinnias; because of our wet May & June mine aren’t nearly this big yet!

I am LOVING this mix of late spring and early summer flowers thanks to the weird weather we’ve had this year.

Spotlights on: basket flower, garden roses, black-eyed-susan & lisianthus, the first (usable) zinnias, and the final wave of bellflower 🌟

I can’t wait to turn these beauties into tomorrow’s bouquets šŸ˜

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY.
Yes, I posted a picture of dirt 🤣 but I’ve heard so many people complain about our awful clay soil that I had to share. There is hope!
This is the soil in a flowerbed that I’ve been using for 4 years and I was able to dig my ranunculus out using only my hands!!

Here are a few tips:
- When you start a new flowerbed mix in compost & peat moss
- When you’re removing annuals, cut the stalk off at ground level but leave the roots for the worms and other critters to munch on
- In spring and fall add 2-4ā€ of compost on top of your soil & if you have a garden fork (like a broad fork or a hoe), gently fork it in to the clay soil (but you can also just put it on top and let the worms spread it for you)

I hope this helps!!

I’m grateful this morning… Grateful that the storms last night weren’t nearly as bad as predicted and grateful for the smell of gardenias!

Gardenia and Magnolia are two of my favorite floral scents; what are your favorites?

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY
I’m growing lisianthus (or ā€œlisi’sā€ as flower farmers like to call them) for the first time this year and it looks like they’re about to bloom!!

I haven’t grown these in the past because they take FOREVER! Lisianthus take around 6 months from starting the seed until they bloom (for reference, most other flowers I grow from seed take ~2 months).
