Happy Sunday! Need some flowers in your feed today? I got you 🤓🤗😉

First image is Mr Jimmy. The color is incredible but the plant grows low and doesn’t produce a ton of blooms. We still grow at least one of this variety because…. Ifkyk Awww 🥰 🥰🥰

Second image is Lynn Slight. Very similar in color & bloom size to Mr J. The plant grew tall & upright, gave full, juicy blooms, though flowers were top heavy on a skinnier stem so they weren’t super easy to work with as a cut flower.

Can you see the difference between these two blooms?

Un-staked Jasmine Pearl spilling over with goodness at the office garden.

She was a 2022 overwintered tuber in zone 6b & grew this year with little tending, but lots of love. I mean, come on 😭🙌 Also survived last nights frost.

I cut my last flowers this past weekend with my mom. Bittersweet to put it all to rest soon. It’s possible we’ll harvest one more time this week but I won’t be in PA to cut with her 🥹🥹

It’s the longest cutting season we’ve had yet. Early August through ??? We’ll see 🙂

Will take a social media rest soon but not before sharing a bit more of this growing season.

Shouting out big love to two wonderful friends that I shared flower time with this past weekend. Both with serendipitous Brooklyn & Pennsylvania ties 😃

is an insanely talented artist AND the owner of in Tamaqua, PA. We walked through rows of dahlias in the rain catching up while cutting the flowers.

and I have been flowering together for a few years. We finally had a chance to link up together to create bouquets on a perfect fall Sunday in BK 🍂🍁

Friends who give you their garden space are the best friends 😊 friends who give their garden space for unintentional experiments are THE best!!

I planted these tubers in Pennsylvania last season, 2022. They were left in the ground over winter and they’re totally thriving 🙌 In zones that freeze and have harsh winters, the tubers need to be dug out of the ground and stored in a controlled climate. This past winter was so mild that these tubers were able to make it through. He said “they’re blooming so much I can’t give them away fast enough” 👌

Slide 1: Cornel Bronze, a workhorse power bloomer

Slide 2: Picasso, incredible candy cane coloring, not the most ideal cut flower

Slide 3: Jasmine Pearl, delicate, soft pinky/purple. She hasn’t been staked or tied up. The plant fell over a few weeks ago but she’s still blooming!
