Camelia, Camellia (can be either both one or the other) Camellia sasanqua, or many other ornamental varieties, are a true garden gem. Although their bloom time is quite short, especially if you pick them up! Once touching the beautiful blossoms that shine in pink, white or red then their leaves may crumble right in your hand. If you want to continue to see their beauty-do not touch! Enjoy their beauty from afar!

Sometimes the beauty shows up in late winter, sometimes a little bit more into early spring, this year we are seeing the blossoms here in the PNW about now or, showing up a few weeks ago. We did end up touching a few of the beautiful blossoms, carefully taking them into our hands, easily one at a time, to dry and press to enjoy their beauty year round.

Picking, drying and pressing flowers is a great way to enjoy the beauty of lots of flowers we grow here at Dandy Blooms in our own yards. (that is a much longer story though that I’m sure would cause an incredible amount of paragraphs : ) )

Get those extra apples bubbling ! My 101 year old grandma always was the one to teach me how to make the best applesauce ever! She is still 101 and going strong! I am so impressed by her ability to keep going and moving, she is an inspiration to us all-especially me!

The type of applesauce I like is has chunks of apples still left in it, much better than Motts which is absolute goo, in my opinion. Easy way to store extra apples left over if you cannot make them into the incredible sauce that is granny recommended? Take off the skin, cut up the apples, pop them in the freezer. Go grab them when you want your house to smell incredible while making granny approve applesauce!

Vaccinium ovatum a lovely cousin to the blueberry, we say yes ! Holding the same Genus as blueberries we in our every day grocery store but much more structured and incredible! This two to three foot bush produces such elegant incredible green leaves with tiny little tot blue berries attached used to feed wildlife this time of year.

Not only are they a beautiful evergreen shrub throughout the year, the fun little berries they produce can be added to floral greenery to make any product stand out! Native to the PNW this little shrub can make a great survival snack, if trapped in the woods, or is wonderful to the animals thriving on the berries they produce!

Pro Tip! If you end up having too many tomatoes, or more than you can work with in the moment all you have to do is blanche them for storage! We always end up having so many tomatoes so I wanted to let you know what to do with your extras as well!

Boil them for 60-90 seconds, put them in a quick ice bath then the skins will immediately fall off. They are now free to either be cooked into tomato sauce or tossed into a bag and stored for later. Homemade tomato sauce is lovely, and if you have extras to make more later that is even better!

Care to grab a bite off a floral arrangement, you are more than welcome to do that seen here!

We love focusing on sustainability and using whichever product we can to create beautiful, lasting arrangements built from our gardens to yours.

Did you happen to run out of some kale, sage or rosemary? No need to make a trip to the store! Seen here we’ve added some purple kale, purple sage and fresh rosemary with a POP of color using bright orange poppy!

Viburnum trilobum Holiday gem! Even though the Holidays have come and gone there should still be many of these beautiful little red berries popping about the bushes here around the PNW (Pacific Northwest). They are a great food source to the birds, and if you want to-are still available to make the infamous cranberry sauce! This does not have to be a Thanksgiving thing you know : )

We love adding them to our winter decor mixed among the evergreen boughs, not just a food source-a beauty of nature!

Side note on why we called the best garden dog Frankie. When we first saw her as a pup, noticed she had blue-ish eyes it was an immediate yes; named her before we even went and took her in!

A lot of people think Frankie is a boy because of her name but she is actually named after Frank Sinatra, who’s nick name was Frankie Blue Eyes.

We love our little garden dog Frankie, rain or shine she glows in our hearts here at Dandy Blooms!

A quick pro tip for you all while spent inside those cold wintery days! Last week we did a post on the sunflowers popping up out of the garden beds, seen here is what we ended up not actually using!

This is what makes us use all our product in a super sustainable, creative way. If you want to do the same thing at home it’s super easy! Cut the sunflowers stems to about 3 feet, grab some twine to bundle what is not used together and hang it upside down. This will allow the sunflowers to dry out quickly while you are inside enjoying the warmth of a nice cup of tea!

You can use the dried sunflowers heads in an arrangement, or keep whatever is left and re-use the seeds to plant in the coming Spring! Fun and easy, saves you from having to go buy seeds, and keeps your garden perfectly sustainable-just-like-ours.

Welcome to the Red Twig Dogwood, Cornus sericea! A wetland wonder, soaking up the goo of the wetlands, providing beautiful red stems and white flowers, during the spring and summer, and a few berries in the fall for birdies! How great is it that you can walk up to a plant with no leaves with its bright red stems shining through!

We enjoy using these in our wreaths, swag and winter bouquets for bright red pops of color! The cold weather actually makes the stems pop through even brighter and more red. They make a great addition to any winter wreath, swag, or arrangement for bright red additions to anything and everything floral.

Fun with our favorite garden dog Frankie! Wether we are going on a walk with her or out in the garden she has no regard for the elements! There is not a day that goes by I have not seen this dog smiling ear to ear.

Being a very active two and a half year old pup she is incredibly happy and must be chased around consistently or taken on walks through her favorite local parks. What’s not to love about this incredible canine! Rain or shine she loves it all!

Who else misses the sun! We do! Bringing up an image from our thriving gardens over the last summer has given us a better appreciation for sunflowers and our gardens we truly miss!

We use our own gardens to grow as much product as we can locally, organically in a 100% sustainable way. Even when the sun pops out here in the winter it sure does make it miss those long days in our gardens seeing the sunflowers pop up taller than us!

Oh the joy of this lovely plant! Sambucus caerulea is a local native to the Pacific Northwest. The beautiful blue berries make great food for the birds to pick at as soon as the berries turn their nice dark puple-ish blue color.

We have used this plant for many different things such as dyeing fabric, using the berries in bouquets, and adding their nice bold, green leaves to almost any arrangement this time of year! The birds love them as a food source but let’s leave the berries to them, not poisonous but not exactly the most tasty food source as your walking through the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

Now that the solstice has passed there is a sigh of relief! The days will now start getting even longer!

What does this lead to? More playtime in the garden each night, more blooms, Spring will soon be here!

It is nice to not have to spend our time in a tiny little greenhouse, not heated, in the mucky cold rain dreaming of the summer days picking stems and blooms until about 9pm.

Ah summer, the warmth behind the Seattle area! Although Spring does lead to some incredibly blooms as well.

Thank you for passing Solstice, we can look forward to those longer, warmer days ahead!

Dried flowers can make amazing princesses! It is super incredible to do!

If you want to hide inside from the incredible amounts of rain and wind we have been getting too, these are a super cute way to do it!

All you have to do is dry the leaves, press them flat grab a pair of scissors and draw a few little things onto the face! Immediate princess!

We are able to do this quite easily now too, with all the leaves have being blown down from the wind and rain-the process is easy!

Let’s make those dirty old leaves turn into beautiful princesses they belong to be!
