Dug the Dahlias today!! And the Gladiolus. And planted a portion of the Tulips. Whew! November is cray. Getting everything taken care of outside, everything that leaving for the Winter involves, and all I really want to do is relax and hang out with my cat. 🙃❤️

Ah, the Guinea Hen days. I just wrote out and deleted a paragraph which described a fraction of the drama we went through with these guys and then realized it was probably a pretty boring caption. Aaaaaaannywhoooskies…it really was quite adorable to have them for a while but we will never have Guinea Hens again, THATS for sure. 🤣 (Their extreme loudness isn’t the reason we don’t want them again. However, Papi (the male), was starting to annoy us every morning at 6AM)

A July 2022 throwback here on the farm. Oh how I love those Catskill Mountains.

Exactly a month ago. Oct 5th. Where oh where does the time go?

I spotted this pretty big, perfectly pretty Pincushion flower just a couple days before the frost hit. She was the last one standing and the prettiest of the season. I’m looking forward to growing more Pincushion next year. They’re sweet and dainty but hardy in arrangements, they look cool and dry well after the petals drop and they come in a beautiful range of colors. A little bit of a late bloomer (for me at least?) but so worth it.

November, is that…you?

Dahlias and Calendula. 💓

The best these have looked all year. We planted these from seed last year, dug and stored the tuber and then planted the tuber this year. I’ve been loving the color of these and now the petals are taking on a new shape. 😍

This combo. 💓 Dahlias

Passionfruit flower. So unbelievably beautiful. Our time in the HV is winding down and we will be heading to the Big Island in less then two months. We just bought a variety of hardy Passionfruit that is supposed to survive the winter here in NY!! It had a few Lilikoi on it when we bought it and omg it tasted soooo good. I will faint if it survives and thrives and we have fresh Lilikoi here next year. But this photo was taken on Zebs family farm. I’m amazed every time I see these flowers.

Mid October is still givinggggg here in the Hudson Valley. 💓💓 Pictured here: Dahlias, Zinnias, Cosmos, Sage and Lavender.

Fun fact: These photos of these totally impromptu arrangements are what got us our first ever gig doing the florals for a wedding a few years ago. 😮 I had never freelanced for another florist and we had never done anything on that scale. But someone put their trust in our capabilities and artistic visions and uhm… well we absolutely slayed it 🤪 I hate to be cheesy but it’s just so true…that if you keep trying different things, keep pursuing the things you love whether you’re making money or not (in this circumstance it was me making floral arrangements and growing flowers. Although these arrangements were 100% wild foraged) , put your all into all of your creations because any insignificant moment can turn into something bigger, because you just never know who’s going to see your work and believe in you…great things can happen. Ok….I’m done…thanks for reading 💓

Brides, don’t hesitate to give your bouquet a twirl! Unless, it’s a cascading bouquet. Then you should probably hold off on the bouq rotation 🤪 Not all bouquets will do this, but depending on the style and materials used, you may get a totally different shape or flower appearances depending on the angle in which you hold your bouquet. Don’t be afraid to switch it up. Or even stand in front of a mirror and see which view you like the most! Have fun with that thang.

Felt cute, might delete later. This all white back drop on my grid is not twerking for me. Aaahhhh the quest for a suitable set up for floral arrangement photos continues. Womp. Wompppppp

This Dahlia tuber came from Agway in Red Hook! She was called “mothers special” and I love her SO much and I hope she keeps multiplying. 💓

Last weekend I got a last minute request from one of our landscaping clients to make a bridal bouquet for a mostly DIY wedding that they were hosting for a friend. Some things are truly kismet. We don’t have a huge variety of Dahlias growing right now but we do have the exact variety that the bride said she loves! I absolutely love that she wanted Dahlias, herbs and dried grasses. But my favorite little detail is that tiny, creamy Zinnia next to that sprig of Lavender. That color combo is just doing it for me! 😍

10/07/2023

Made this sweet arrangement today. Blooms all from our property. I recently saw someone say that hot pink is a Fall color and I could not agree more. 😏💓💓

10/06/2023

September/October flowers mightttttttt be my favorite. You’ve got Dahlias, you’ve got Golden Rod, Asters, Calendula, Queen Anne’s lace. And that’s just what’s in this bouquet! There’s lots of other flowers still blooming like Cosmos, Pincushion, Strawflower and more! ✨

10/06/2023

My eyessssss. 😍🙃 The big white and purps are from AGWAY last year and the bright pinks are from 3 or 4 years ago.

I love growing these Dahlias soo much 🥲

Looking back at this sweet little arrangement and table setting we got to make for the very talented a couple of years ago. (Where does the time go??)  
 
Summer has shifted to Autumn here in the Hudson Valley (despite it being 80 degrees yesterday…🤣) and that means it’s just about time for Zeb and I to head back to BI.  
I’m hoping to connect and work with some local floral designers on the Big Island this year. That would be such a dream! 💓☀️

Some arrangements are just difficult (for me) to photograph. But I swear this thing is gorgeous in real life…💚

Still just swooning over this Bridal Bouquet. Made with actual wild flowers, Dahlias, Butterfly Bush and Calendula. 💛Why do I say “actual” wild flowers? Because often times a wild flower look is achieved with home grown or even store bought flowers. But for this bouquet, as with many of the creations we make, some of these flowers were harvested right from nature, where no one except Mother Earth planted and grew them.

Sweet handfuls. 💓
