The Flowering Fig

I was delighted with how much fun this wrist corsage workshop turned out to be! There was so much laughing and fun chatter as these great women created their own unique cuffs. They all turned out beautiful! Thank you Sarah Hayes for providing me the opportunity to make this workshop come to life! For anyone out there, please let me know if this is something you would like to do. It would be perfect for a wedding party or just a fun evening out with the ladies!

So many wonderful events! So grateful to have my flowers be a part of them! Mother's day and Nurse's week helped me create a ton of amazing small bouquets. I hope many wonderful women felt loved! I loved helping to make their day special!

It is Graduation Season and the end of the school year! Getting a present for your teachers can be a "snap" (ha ha! Cheesey, I know!) I just harvested a ton of snapdragons and campanula (bell flower) . . . just in time to say "thank you" to your teachers and staff. Please let me know if you would like a bouquet . . . big or small!
-Small straight bunches of snapdragons- $10
-Small mixed flower bouquets - $14
Congratulations everyone!!

"Such a mysterious business, motherhood. How brave a woman must be to embark on it."
What a great quote for all of the brave women in this world who have chosen to be mothers and/or are currently mothering our children (I am looking at you teachers, counselors, bus drivers, kind neighbors, and friends)!
Don't forget to buy a bouquet of flowers for one of these brave women in your life! The Flowering Fig is taking orders :).

I was so blessed to meet Jessica of The Happy Waffle the other day. I have been so impressed by how much she loves supporting good causes throughout our community. This weekend she brought in my flowers and created the "Kindness Combo" with her delicious lemonade. With the proceeds, she is going to donate a portion of the funds to Girl's on the Run. I am so excited that The Flowering Fig can partner with her in this endeavor! Please take the time to stop by tomorrow, grab a drink and some flowers, and show her a little kindness back!

Anyone need a corsage for Prom? The corsages are made from ingredients growing in my garden at the time . . . so the look of them will not be exactly what is pictured. I am offering white, red, blue, and pink corsages. $30. Please call me at 434-767-8188 or send me a message.

I believe that this is the 3rd year I have been honored to do the flowers for HopeX. I love partnering with my daughter's retired fifth grade teacher, Georgina White (who provides the most amazing lenten roses) and creating these amazing bouquets. I loved how they turned out this year . . . and I love that they went to such a great cause! The bouquets included daffodils, lenten roses, paper whites, boxwoods, and yellow cabbage flowers.

The daffodils are blooming as well as my ranunculus! That means that bouquets will be coming soon. Did you know that ranunculus are part of the buttercup family and their name means little "frog?" They are NOT edible as they are poisonous. So don't take a bite of them, but enjoy their beauty instead. They can last from 10-14 days in a vase and are simply extraordinary!
