The purple flowers are really hitting it out of the park right now.

It's the first time all season that these Hollyhill Orange Ice dahlias have looked nice. They're a bit too delicate for my flower field. They tend to burn easily. Even the buds have shown signs of sun burn well before any excessive heat. It's been much cooler lately, and the flowers look much better. This one might be fore the home garden.

Crushing on these dahlias!The colors are totally drool worthy.

Ferncliff spice are the smaller ones. A lovely golden base with a smokey raspberry blushing in the center. The big one in the middle is Jowey Winnie. A smokey peach with yellow undertones. They pair wonderfully together.

Some cute little Double Jill dahlias

These ones had good calico color, so I pulled them from the deadhead pile for a picture. The cucumber beetles love this dahlia more than every other one I own. This means that most of the time, I can't get a decent stem off this plant.

I nearly beat the sun rise this morning on my way to the flower field. We had some lovely cloud cover for most of the morning, which made it quite enjoyable doing farm chores.

02/08/2023

Koko Loco has fast become my favorite rose. Every time I cut some, I think to myself, "Hmm, where can I sneak in more of these?"

29/07/2023

I have some petite wrapped bouquets available tomorrow for pick-up in North Plains. $15ea message me if you want one.

First time this year using my favorite urn vase.

My secret weapon, when arranging in large vessels, is a ball of chicken wire in the bottom. It provides support for the flowers similar to what foam would do but is reusable. Only down side is getting the flowers out once they have reached the end of their life, which is quite difficult.

While watering the Chinese forget-me-nots last night, I had a little inspiration. I made up this pretty combo and told me husband, "I made these for you" and his cute little "for me?!" In surprise was everything.

24/06/2023

So cute and the most vibrant blue you have ever seen.

The picture doesn't even show how these Chinese forget-me-nots nearly glowed in the fading light. Last fall, I didn't have time to clear out or deadhead my back garden. This year it's a thick patch of Chinese forget-me-nots with the most dainty stems.

I have seen some people complain about flowers that self seed. I have been saved so many times by self sown flowers. Cerinth, Ageratum, Hyssop, Bells of Ireland, Celosia, and Chinese forget-me-nots are some of my favorites, and I will never complain about mother nature handing me extra flowers that i didnt have to tediously baby through half of winter. If I don't want something, I just pull it out and move on. It may be an unpopular opinion, but I love my self-sowers.

I still have quite a few Dahlia tubers available in my shop. I also will be listing some dahlia grab bags this weekend as well as some discount "uglies" and small tubers.

Dahlia tuber restock is now live in my etsy shop. Most things are in very limited quantities but there is lots of Coralie. I even have a few of this beauty, Robann Creamsicle available.

02/05/2022

Bright colored tulips and ranunculus to match today's sunny weather

11/04/2022

This morning I awoke to snow in my yard which is crazy but it looks like the next couple nights will be at or below freezing in a lot of areas. I have spent the last 4 days single handedly packing all my dahlia orders with the goal to drop them at the post office tomorrow. However this cold snap has me nervous for these little frost tender sleeping beauties.

If you have ordered from me and would like me to hold your order till the end of the week please reach out and let me know. Either through etsy, direct message, or email. I will be contacting all buyers but with over 150 orders and just one of me that will take a while and I'd appreciate anyone who reaches out directly.

I've been spending most of my spare time these days creating listing for my dahlia sale. I'm sure some of you out there have notice the tuber frenzy that's been going on. It's like the hunger games out there.

The demand for dahlias this season is unreal and I've seen so many other growers struggle with website issues. I manage my website all on my own and I'm no IT expert. The last thing I want is for my site to crash during a sale and frustrate customers. So I made the difficult decision to sell exclusively on my etsy shop this year. There are definitely down sides to this. You won't be able to preview any varieties before go live and it's a bit harder to find my shop.

I will be sending out a newsletter soon with all the sale information and what will be available. It will also have some recommendations for how to have the best experience buying through etsy. So be sure to subscribe to stay in the loop.

Pictured is Rebecca Lynn. I didn't love her the first year I grew her but this year she out did herself. Plants where smothered in the most perfect bubblegum pink blooms. The smaller size blooms work great in mixed arrangements and smaller floral work. She's a must grow for me.

The great divide of 2021 is underway here at FF Flowers. I'm already up to 500 divided dahlia tubers and that's not even halfway through. It's looking like there will be a nice variety of dahlias available come sale time. My sale usually is in January or February. Exact date will be posted at a later time.

25/10/2021

Can you believe that it's almost the end of October! Where has the time gone.

I've been busy busy busy preparing for bulb planting and dahlia digging, and cleaning up the garden and flower field. We will be digging the first of the dahlias next weekend so Im crossing my fingers that the rain comes early this week.

The dahlia below is Clearview Debbie. One of my favorite purple dahlias. It blooms abundantly and on stems that are great for cutting.

26/08/2021

While the dahlias in the home garden are a bit of a hot mess. They're still giving me some amazing blooms.

Here is Castle Drive one of my most prized dahlias.

20/08/2021

Peaches n cream dahlias are the stars in this arrangement for Janet. I hope she loves it as much as I do.

13/08/2021

I can't get over how amazing the statice has been in my flower field. I have one 10x4 ft bed. Half is the pastel mix and the other the sunset mix both from floret. It cranks out almost 2 buckets a week a swear. I've been drying them like crazy to preserve as much of their beauty as possible.

If you've never grown statice you should definitely add it to your cutting garden. Plants are very low growing with stems held high above the plants making them very easy to cut. They last forever in a vase and dry amazing. They're color stays really vibrant when dried.

18/07/2021

The flower field is finally producing enough flowers to arrange. We have subscriptions available and will also be listing individual arrangement option soon.

www.fernforestflowers.com

26/06/2021

The statice is starting to bloom in some very pretty shades. These are too short at the moment for cutting but they're sure pretty.

18/05/2021

Can't wait for the field to looks like this again!

What flowers are you most excited to see this year?

17/05/2021

Spent the last 5 days working in the flower field. I have all the irrigation laid out and about 75% of my landscape fabric.

I also planted 160 dahlia tubers and about 100 feet of flower seedlings. So much done but so much more to go. I can't wait to see this patch of dirt smothered in flowers once again.

05/05/2021

Summer flower shares are now available for purchase on my website.

These make great gifts. Treat yourself or someone you love to 100% locally grown seed to vase flowers.

Flower subscriptions are expected to begin mid to late July with local pick up from North Plains, OR.

These past few weeks I've been washing and dividing the dahlia tubers. It's a slow meticulous process. Some varities the tubers grow tightly together and others are long and spindly. Every year I get a little better at identifying the eyes or growing points. Any guesses on how many tubers I'll have this year after dividing is done?

29/10/2020

The first frost came and the dahlias were dug. Field planning and tuber dividing is all thats left until next year.
