Welcome 2025.
Going into this year, I’m working on my perspective. I’m going to take a seed-view of things.
Seeds are a contradiction: living little packets of possibility that require specific care and nurturing to reach their potential.

Viewing opportunities, commitments, relationships, and myself as a collection of seeds.

Planting new seeds for Wild Whimsy Flowers to find possibilities for another year.

Let’s grow together this year!!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and joy and love going into this new year.

Can’t believe another year has passed. Sometimes I think I’m a slow learner- but I’m looking forward to implementing all I have learned this year and creating and building year after year! Thanks to you all for coming along on this ride.

Another new Pansy: ‘Frizzle Sizzle Tapestry’ has such a great dusty mauve color. And I got a whiff of that delicate viola fragrance today. I have missed that gentle scent!

Merry Christmas Eve to all!!

Dahlias:

Normally this time of year you get a lot of chatter from me about digging and dividing, but it’s been very quiet. That is because I’m leaving my ENTIRE CROP of dahlias in the ground to overwinter. Last season I experimented with my reds (easiest to lose) and they performed leaps and bounds better than any other variety I planted last year. So, here’s to a division-free Christmas! I have to say I’m enjoying the lighter work load.

Did you dig your dahlias this year? Have you divided yet?

Planted a bunch of pansy celestial blue, and I’m not sure about the flowers. Now, I know that the first flowers of a plant are usually not exactly true to type or the best quality. But I’m not sure if what I planted is going to give me the same as what I was advertised. What do you think? Are they keepers?

Scenes from my kiddos’ school garden. My favorite part of volunteering here is the background noise. I love being known as “The Garden Lady” but it’s even better when the students and at me and call “ Hi ______’s Mom!!”

Late to the game, but here’s my take on ‘s for 2025. Deltini Honeybee, this is your year to shine!

Super early bloomer, the perfect smooth color, and that rich, browned-butter color are the earthy, bronzey, rich and comfy palette of dreams! A good bridge color for designs and, so far, a fantastic crop! No cuttable stems in sight just yet, but now that they’re blooming, they have no place to go except up!

Prepping for spring. Transferring the sweet peas to a cordon system. We’ll see what this experiment brings.

It’s fall, but Spring flowers are already blooming here! These are shallow-planted paperwhites that are blooming as if they had been forced. Not sure if this will be good for long-term naturalizing, so l plan to keep a close eye on them. But it sure is a motivation to go out and get my fall prep finished!

First play deadhead of the season! ‘Deltini Honeybee’ is a bronze babe who threw her first shortie stem 8 wks after seeding. The pansies are still in the seedling trays- not slated to be transplanted until early November- but I’m excited to finally see some color. After a long, slow summer I’m so excited to get back into production again!

Planted some of my daffs shallow and they’re flowering early! They were so pretty tucked in amongst the zinnias and dahlia and cemented their place in my heart with their gorgeous scent!

Salvia ‘Dancing Dolls’ is one of my favorite dancers. Luscious, dusty pink and the perfect movement for that sparkle and movement in arrangements.

They’ll be a bit wild and whimsical, which suits me just fine. Wild Whimsy Mother’s Day Bouquets available for Saturday pickup at the farm porch stand. Open 8 am-12pm I will also have sweet pea bunches and Pansy posies. #mothersdayflowers #localflowers #dixonmayfair #joyinflowerform

Shirley Poppies are so special! #localflowers #joyinflowerform #suburbanflowerfarm

California Poppy ‘Champagne’ I don’t think I’ll ever go a year again without this beauty! She’s pure butter yellow perfection! #eschscholzia #localblooms #butteryelle #yellowwedding #bayareaflorist #sacramentoweddings

This variety is proving to be dainty and delicate, but I love the yellow with the violet hues. It’s a lovely little stunner! #pansyappreciationsociety #pansygrower #suburbanflowerfarm #localflowers

Some of the weirdos in my sweet pea patch. They say sweet peas are obligate self-pollinators, but I’m seeing a lot of unique blooms in my patch that aren’t true to type. My theories: pollinators (we have a few honeybee hives in our yard and I’m seeing a LOT of bumblebees and larger bees all over the sweet peas). To manage this, I’m going to choose or two plants from each bed that are true to type and bagging the blooms to keep pollinators out and keep varieties true. Lots of work!!!

Shirley Poppy ‘Amazing Grey’ and ‘Cold Steel’ Sweet Pea First blooms popped this past week. They’re the first signs of late Spring. #shirleypoppies #sweetpeas #greyflowers #localflowers #bayareaflorist #sacramentoflorist #suburbanflowerfarm

Daffodil ‘Zinzi’ has been a showstopper this season. I love her split corona that is a kaleidoscope of peachy pink, fading to cream tinged with apricot. She’s dreamy. #fancydaffs #narcissus #peachflowers #springflowers #suburbanfarm

The flowers don’t compare themselves to some arbitrary standard of their peers (or internet influencers). They grow, focused solely on being the best self they can be in regards to what they have been given. And when we focus on what we aren’t, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to become who we could be. #deepthoughtswiththeflowers #lessonsfromthegarden #joyinflowerform #suburbanfarm

Guys pansies are my new favorite over here. I have a few of these blues (can’t remember the name- I’ll add it later) that are finally long enough and I can’t. Get. Enough! Are you team Pansy? #pansyappreciationsociety

And nothing is more beautifully moody than these gorgeous ‘Wyndham’ tulips from @alcott_botanicals and Romance ‘Perigord’ Isn’t it the greatest pairing? Also, these were cut about a week ago. These just last FOREVER!

Wraps are out on the porch!
