Whistling Bee Farm & Florals

Birthday Girls!! Today I’m celebrating my 48th birthday and our sweet pup, Maisy, is celebrating her 15th birthday! After we adopted her all those years ago, I was going through her paperwork and discovered we shared a birthday. I think she was meant to be in our lives, and I’m very grateful for the past 15 years with her. I wouldn’t call her a farm pup, per se, she’s more of a couch pup, but she’s been there through so many momentous moments in our lives. Now it’s time to celebrate with some pumpkin pie for me and dog treats for her!

We are feeling thankful today for so many joys in our lives. And we are especially grateful to all of you who support our small farm and our dream. We hope you have many reasons to be thankful today and every day.

This week I’m processing and storing all of our saved dahlia seeds. These dahlia seed pods may look dried and dull brown, but there is incredible beauty waiting within. The seed pods hold dozens of dahlia seeds inside, with each seed blooming into a different, entirely unique flower! Dahlia seeds are a treasure, as they offer a garden surprise when they bloom, you never know what flowers you will get until they open. Isn’t that exciting?!

All of our saved dahlia seed will be used in our dahlia hybridization work, including some seed I’ve collected from our own dahlia crosses. I can’t wait to see the beauty that blooms in our dahlia seedling patch next season!

UPDATE: SOLD OUT! THANK YOU!

I’m excited to share that our popular dried flower mini pumpkins are here! These festive pumpkins have arrived just in time to decorate your holiday table. All flowers were grown, dried, and arranged here on the farm. And the pumpkins were also sourced locally. Our flowers are naturally and sustainably grown with no harmful chemicals, so you can feel good about having them in your home. We tie the mini floral bouquets to the pumpkins so that when the holidays are over, you can untie them and save them as a keepsake. We are offering two colors this year: white mini pumpkins and orange striped pumpkins. Quantities are limited, so please message me to reserve your pumpkins and bring a beautiful, sustainable fall decoration to your holiday table.

It’s been a busy week over here as we planted bulbs and dug dahlias. It’s a relief to have all of our dahlias now lifted, divided, and stored for the winter. I miss them already and can’t wait to see them blooming again next season.

This is an appreciation post for the man behind the scenes at Whistling Bee Farm. Mr. Whistling Bee and I have been together for 31 years today! We met in high school and have stuck together ever since. He’s been at my side through all the struggles and triumphs, and has made me laugh every day along the way. He supported this flower-farming dream wholeheartedly and has pitched in to help whenever I’ve become overwhelmed and needed to smile. Truly, without Mr. Whistling Bee, there would be no Whistling Bee Farm. I am so thankful for our years together and look forward to many more down the road. Wherever this flower farming journey takes me, I know he’ll be right by my side, cracking jokes and digging holes. I couldn’t ask for more!
