While it is still definitely winter outside, the preparations for the 2025 flower season have started consuming more and more of my days. Lots of planning...dreaming...seed starting...and this week the process of waking up the anemones!

These classic disc flowers with the striking deep blue centers are favorites of mine 💙 (The white with green centers are pretty amazing, too 😍) This year I ordered more than 300 corms (the brown nugget root structures the plants grow from) in lots of different fancy varieties to trial. Because they thrive in cooler early spring weather, the growing process needs to start early enough so that they mature and produce flowers before the temps are consistently in the mid-70's and they shut down. Last year I had lots of stunning blooms in time for Mother's Day arrangements, and I am hoping for the same this season! They will also provide lovely focal flowers for wedding reception centerpieces the following weekend 💕 And with each plant producing 7-10 blooms I should have plenty more to share with my flower friends!

Brrr 🥶
How to cope with the worst of winter?
🌷 Scroll through the pictures on the Sleeping Bee Bloom Facebook or Instagram page as a reminder that January doesn’t last forever 😉🌸☀️ Someday soon I’ll get to play with these blooms again!

Happy New Year Flower Friends 🎉🌸🐝💕 The 2025 growing season is still several months away, but after some time away from flower farming tasks it’s time to get going on the planning, purchasing, planting, and posting! A few photo highlights for the first few days of January:

💐The first seeds to get their start this weekend will be the slow-growing lisianthus. Last year was my first successful attempt at growing them from seed so I’ll give it another go this year because they are stunners 😍 And they last forever in the vase!

💕 My favorite unexpected finds yesterday were these colorful highball glasses at Menards…I’m envisioning lovely arrangements of tulips and daffodils in these for Mother’s Day offerings this year!

🐝 And isn’t my new hat adorable?! My talented niece designed and embroidered the blooms and bees for me so I can stay cozy over here while waiting on spring 😊🌷 And making plans to bring you more beautiful blooms in 2025!

The unexpected final gathering of remaining blooms from my back yard ended up becoming one of my favorite arrangements of the season. A lovely autumnal mix of peachy pink, burgundy, and violet blue, and a fitting end to a beautiful growing season. THANK YOU so much to all my fellow flower fans and followers who have embraced this little side hustle of mine and are such willing recipients and supporters of my passion for growing and arranging beautiful blooms 💕🌸 I’ve already got the beginnings of next year’s beauty waiting in crates and boxes and seed packets…I’m so looking forward to sharing them with you in 2025!

The last of the pumpkins are available on the porch this weekend!! After Sunday these are gone and the flower porch is closed until spring 😊🧡🍁

10/22/2024

Pretty pumpkins still available on the porch! These are some of the last ones…a few more new ones available Thursday and Friday, but then I need to completely switch over to fall clean-up and dahlia tuber digging and dividing. The growing season might be done, but there is still so, so much to do before winter!

10/20/2024

My experimental succulent pumpkin 💚🧡 While all the other pumpkins I’ve done are all dried flowers, foliage, and seed pods (outside of a few hens and chicks I’ve added in years past), this one is actually a living succulent garden. Testing this out this fall to see if I want to add them to the pumpkin line up next year. What do you think? I’m kind of in love with it so far 😍

10/19/2024

It’s a perfect fall morning to pick up a pretty pumpkin! Available on the porch all morning 😊🍁🧡

10/16/2024

Porch pumpkin availability for Wednesday!! Still a great selection of dried flower crowned beauties 🧡

10/15/2024

Pretty pumpkins on the porch from sun up to sun down! I’ll post pictures every day of what will be available until all the pumpkins are gone. I have about a dozen left to decorate in the next week, and then I will be done for the season. The deadline for any special request pumpkins is the end of this week as the pumpkin supplies are dwindling. Pretty pumpkins are perfect seasonal gifts 🤗🎃🍁🧡 Pick one up before they are gone!

10/14/2024

Oodles of pretty pumpkins available tonight at the Thomas Township Farmers Market! The last one but certainly not one you want to miss 🍁🎃🧡🤗 Trunk or treating, games, photo ops, fabulous food, and lots of vendors. Shop the largest selection of these beautifully decorated pumpkins to add a unique touch to your fall decor. Come to Roberts Park tonight from 4-7pm!!

❄️The 2024 flower growing season has officially come to an end for this flower farmer❄️ The frost wasn’t a particularly heavy one, but it did damage all of the dahlia, zinnia, and celosia blooms and blackened the foliage thus ending the productive life of those plants 😢

But it ended up being a beautiful sunny day so instead of harvesting I spent my time at the garden cutting down the dahlias and wrapping the stalks with flagging tape labels so I don’t lose track of which variety is which when I dig them up (because I’ve learned from experience the frustrations of not adequately labeling those clumps 😏).

And so I move on to the next part of the flower farming season…fall clean-up and prep for spring planting. The timeline is less intense than the harvest, prep and arrange that’s been on constant repeat since mid-April. So while I’m sad that the flowering days are done, I am looking forward to the relative slower pace ahead. And more pretty pumpkins 💕🧡🎃 More of those will be available soon 🤗

10/09/2024

Heading out to the flower field this morning to see what got hit with the patchy frost and what didn’t ❄️ I’m hopeful for at least one more decent harvest of dahlia blooms before we say goodbye until next season. Lots of fall clean up is on the list for today, plus more flower drying, seed collecting, and pretty pumpkin creating 🧡I added a few more new pretty pumpkins to the porch this morning 😊 so stop by and pick up the perfect fall gift! And if you are gifting these beauties, there are gift bags with the super-cute Sleeping Bee Blooms tag and bee print tissue paper available for a small cost on the bottom shelf 🐝🎁

10/08/2024

This could be the last of the Tuesday porch flowers! Potential frost tonight would knock out the dahlias ❄️😢 But thankfully the pumpkins will still be available all month 🥳🎃🍁🧡 Another pumpkin purchase in the next couple of days so more of those beauties available before the weekend!

10/07/2024

Only 2 more left! And the fresh blooms are coming to an end…all but the dahlias, and a handful of zinnias, have succumbed to the drought, disease, and insect damage. And the dahlias are relatively unscathed by the evil tarnished plant bug infestation only because the buds are covered, as soon as they appear, with organza drawstring bags. It’s very time consuming but worth the effort for the blooms I can save! There are just a handful of $20 and $15 jar arrangements available tonight so shop early 😉

If you are fully ready to say goodbye to summer and embrace fall decor be sure to stop by and pick up a pretty pumpkin decorated with dried flowers 💕🎃🍁The perfect way to enjoy seasonal beauty until Thanksgiving! 4-7pm tonight at the Thomas Township Farmers Market in Roberts Park

10/05/2024

A few more additions to the pretty pumpkins on the porch this morning 😊 A few fresh flowers might make an appearance later, but the overgrown landscaping and the bright sunshine are beckoning…this first Saturday in October is a beauty 🍁🧡🍂☀️

10/04/2024

A little sampler of the flowers and pretty pumpkins available on the porch this morning 🍂🧡 Happy Friday Flower Friends 🥳

10/03/2024

The porch is full of beautiful blooms, both fresh and dried, on this Thursday morning 🧡🍂🎃😍 Stop by and pick up some seasonal beauty before it’s gone!
