Thinking of all my flower farmer mentors and buddies this time of the year. I’ve been in the field for the past 4 days straight, bringing in the last of the season. It’s a mixed bag of emotions for sure. That last video of the big, tired dahlia field…we’ve been through it this year! 😑😂Thankful to work in such beauty and share the wild ride with so many awesome people. #flowerfarmer #fall #flowerfarm #flowerfarming #gardening #dahlias #dahlia #florist
Wow, there are now “30’s” in the forecast, a stark contrast to just even a few days ago. But it’s hard to worry about temperatures when so many in the south are fighting for the lives and livelihoods. We just wanted to pause and thank our three flower partners. We couldn’t do what we do without them and YOU! Thank you for weathering Dahliagate 2024 with us, for wild rainy weather and all things Mother Nature and life throws at us. You are appreciated. Here we are rolling some bouquets into Flinchbaugh's Orchard & Farm Market and rolling out with some yummy sweets! A huge thanks to WhirliGig Unique Boutiques for putting up with our very volatile schedule in the heat of summer and crazy rain in the fall. And our longest and steadfast supporter: Pronio's Market .What a blessing Pronio’s has been to us.

Drying flowers is not hard at all. So many times you get the best results by simply hanging them to dry. No silica (especially with little ppl around), no pressing, no other methods…you can get beautiful results by hanging them to dry without any other effort. I’ve had so many people ask about drying in our workshops - just wanted to offer encouragement. #dryingflowers #fall #flowers #strawflowers
This song was playing (thanks to weird settings on my phone and Bluetooth I can’t seem to correct) when I loaded the first big load of dahlias this week. Katie, immediately said, it’s like Christmas in July. If ya’ll knew how much I fought for these buckets…wow. The perfect storm this season for us. It has been the most difficult season yet and that’s saying a lot. I’m so very thankful for experts in the field like Coseytown Flowerswho has such quality information out there to help combat these up-hill battles with these beauties. And for my team who keep me going. Hopefully, it’s full steam ahead going forward. 🤦🏼♀️🪳❌💐🌼 #dahlias #flowerfarmer #summer #dahlia #flowers #gardening
Nothing like cutting a three headed zinnia early in the morning to question your eyesight. 😂💐

It’s our succulent and dried flower pumpkin season. These have been a favorite for over 5 years now and they are a very reliable fall/winter decor item. You can now buy these large succulent pumpkins at all three locations where you find our seasonal flower bouquets: Flinchbaugh's Orchard & Farm Market WhirliGig Unique Boutiques and Pronio's Market. Below I’ve listed some answers to FAQ and recommendations for our pumpkins! 1️⃣. Do I need to water the succulents? No, overwatering a succulent is the #1 killer of succulents. And when you put water on top of our pumpkins, you increase/expedite rot. They will be ok until you’re tired of your pumpkins and want a change.2️⃣ How long will it last? I currently have on in my basement from last year! Lol. Point here is, they can last a very long time! We do not rupture the skin of the pumpkin so there should be a fast rot. You should be able to enjoy it into late winter.3️⃣. My succulents are starting to bolt out, what can I do? You can simply cut off the part that is becoming tall or remove the entire succulent. If you cut off the end, the base may start to send out tiny, new succulents. Any part you cut off or remove you can sit on some semi-moist potting soils and let it root. Again, don’t overwater and it will need warm, in-direct sunlight to be happy.4️⃣ When you’re done with your pumpkin, you can remove your succulents and like I mentioned above, sit them on some potting soil and allow them to root. Now you have some new succulents! 5️⃣Our pumpkins are locally grown and sourced, so please try to compost or reuse them. Remove all the glue/adhesive from them and then they can go into a compost pile (our worms in our worm tower love pumpkins). Please do not feed left over anything to a neighbor’s farm animals without permission. ☺️Thanks for your interest in our fall decor!#centralpaflowerfarm #flowerfarm #falldecor #itsfallyall #succulentpumpkins
