Business in the front, party in the back! Veca Lucia is plump and luscious, simetimes a little bit unruly, and utterly gorgeous. I don’t know what it is about this particular blossom, but the frogs and the bees seem to absolutely love her. 🐝 🐸💕💫

We are starting to dream Dahlia dreams over here! Who can guess how many Dahlia stem cuttings (AKA baby Dahlia plants) I have in my basement grow tent?

I just pulled out a tuber for this one and can hardly wait for her to wake up! Hapet Rose Dream is stunning, show-worthy, majestic and just so feminine. A personal favorite. Hoping to offer this in the 2025/2026 season.

Who else is in full swing with farm and garden dreaming/planning?! 🙋🙋‍♀️

I’ve taken a little hiatus from the farm these past few weeks to rest and recoup after an incredible 2024 season. But now, I’m rolling up my sleeves and laughing at my absolutely ridiculous seed collection. It’s both impossible and inevitable—I’m diving in!

Once again, I’ll be playing my favorite game: “How many flats of seedlings can one fit in a 10 x 10 grow tent?” Just like I did last year (it was madness!)

For me, this is pure joy. Can’t wait to share with the world!

Also, I’ll be excited to share ranunculus and tulips with you all this spring at the farm stand! Stay tuned!

Delight, Rocco, Rosemary Dawn, G H Lammerse, WB’s MC, Rebecca Lynn, Jowey Linda, Wine Eyed Jill, Diva.

What to do when the Dahlia to-do list is done (sorta 😆)? Polish off tulip to-do list. A little snow storm bothers this farmer only a little, and doesn’t bother these bulbs at all.

It’ll be worth it!

After all, who wouldn’t love a G O R G E O U S bouquet of spring flowers right about now? 🙋🏻‍♀️ These need eight or so more weeks of chilling and rooting and then they’ll be ready to shoot up as it warms.

P. S. We will have ranunculus and anemone this spring too 🥳🎉🌷💐!

A beautiful miniature ball dahlia, Creamy boasts soft ivory-colored blooms that glow with a subtle buttercream hue. Its 2-3.5 inch blooms sit atop compact plants. We reach for it over and over in arrangements. Strong production all season long, too.

Who else will be planning next season’s garden or farm in the next few months? I just want to be back in the dahlia patch picking whatever catches my eye again! (Pictured: me with Camano Zoe, Mystique, Cafe au Lait Rose, Kelgai Ann.) Alas, I do have to select my favorites.

I noticed brides wanted jewel tones in 2024, but the Pantone color for 2025 is “Mocha Mousse.”Good thing for Valley Tawny dahlia, Choco Lisianthus, and Chocolate Cosmos! What cocoa colored blossoms will you be growing?

The Under the Sun Dahlia Dig is DONE! 😅😴

Admittedly this isn’t much of a celebratory photo, but it represents a such an adventure and a community effort of epic proportions.

With the amazing help of neighbors, friends, and family, [THANK YOU!] we just finished digging, washing, dividing, wrapping, and storing around 8,000 Dahlia tubers! Out of those, 2,600 were hand-selected (by yours truly) as perfect tubers with visible eyes—ready for a sale (spring shipping). These will be part of a special early-sale, opening soon! Pictured is our Coolbot™️ cooler with crates full of tubers. I will be monitoring the temperature like a hawk all winter. 42 degrees is ideal for dahlias.

Also: today, we finally got our Christmas tree up and decorated, and it is feeling a little bit like Christmas around here. 🎄 Maybe we’ll now get some Christmas shopping done too? Before diving into final website updates and shenanigans, we are trying to enter into the spirit of the holidays!

We are just a bit tired so maybe you can inspire us: what’s your favorite simple holiday tradition? Tell me in the comments—I’d love to hear how you’re celebrating and enjoying loved ones this season! Bonus if it has to do with food 🙌🏻😋.

Stay tuned for sale updates—you won’t want to miss it!

Moonstruck 🌖. This lovely dahlia produces delicate 3-inch blooms in soft cream yellow that glow with a hint of moonlight. Perfect for cutting, it’s proven to be a versatile beauty in our arrangements.

Hollyhill Serenity (edited to say Hollyhill Daydream—I needed a nap, too) and Gerrie Hoek celebrating with us that E V E R Y dahlia tuber is out of the ground and 99% are washed and divided. Whew. Thanks to an AMAZING community of friends, family and neighbors who made this happen.

I keep my favorite dahlia cultivars in a 10x10 grow tent in my basement to propagate through the winter months. I have been too busy with work and digging/dividing dahlias to be taking cuttings which means we get to enjoy some amazing blossoms! This Hollyhill Daydream is about as perfect as they come. Makes me look forward to next summer!

Happiest Thanksgiving to you all! We are filled with gratitude. (Not only because we pulled out the last clump of tubers...

Happiest Thanksgiving to you all! We are filled with gratitude. (Not only because we pulled out the last clump of tubers from our grow bags last night!). Mostly because we are surrounded by a wonderful community of friends and family who have supported our wild dahlia adventure this season. What a year it has been. Cheers!🥂

Standing taller than most of our other dahlias, “20th Ave Rayna” is a vibrant formal decorative blossom. She is elegant, full of petals, and impressive in every way. An absolute keeper from hybridizer Rich Gibson.

Dahlias as cut flowers: did you know that dahlias have a shorter vase life than many other focal flowers such as roses, chrysanthemums, or ranunculus? We still use them in bouquets extensively on our farm and expect 3-7 days from the cut blossoms, depending on the variety. They are known for being “event flowers,” meaning they are great for events such as weddings or funerals due to their color range and beauty. If you are looking for a variety that holds especially well in the vase, you might consider any ball variety—known for their longer vase life. What variety is your favorite in a vase? #dahliafarmer #dahliafarming #dahlia #dahliafarm #farmer #dahliagrower #farm #polinatorfriendlyfarm #gulllake #michiganflowerfarm #flowerfarm #underthesunflowerco #michiganflowerfarmer #wintersowing #flowerfarmer #farmstand #flowerstagram #dahliabouquet

Who is ready to grow this beauty? Rip city was an absolute queen of the patch. Look how pretty she is with jewel tones.
