❤️Falling in Love — with Poppies❤️

Papaver rhoeas ‘Falling in Love’ is blooming now in the field — a mix of soft pinks, blushes, and corals that flutter like silk in the breeze. It’s a variety that lives up to its name. Every year, I fall for them all over again.

The bees love them too, tumbling from bloom to bloom, completely intoxicated.

They may look fragile, but these poppies have a hidden strength. When picked at the ‘cracking’ bud stage (just as the petals are about to unfurl) and the stems are dipped in boiling water for ten seconds, they hold up beautifully in a vase. It’s a little trick florists use, and it works wonders. Treated this way, they last far longer than you’d expect and bring a touch of the wild to any arrangement.

🌷 A simple spring arrangement🌷to showcase ‘Hyacinth orientalis, which we have grown for the first time this year.

Much easier to work with than the more traditional hyacinth which can be very top heavy and bulky.

The Hyacinth orientalis is airier and far easier to incorporate into an arrangement. It still has the heady scent of a hyacinth, a fragrance that instantly evokes the arrival of spring, filling the air with a heady floral aroma.

Some people can find this scent overwhelming in an enclosed space. A single stem or two can provide just the right amount of fragrance without overwhelming the senses. Pairing them with lightly scented or unscented flowers allows their beauty and perfume to shine without becoming too dominant.

🌷The flower field is waking up, and spring’s first blooms are arriving just in time for Mother’s Day! Our bouquets, filled with the promise of spring, will be available for collection and local delivery.

🌷We can’t wait to share them with you! To order, send us a DM or email [email protected].
