Peonies are in their prime this week. Many subscription members know we’ve loyally purchased our peonies from Styers’, an 80 acre farm just south west of Philly, on the Delaware border for the past 5 years.

Tragically, Richard Currie died at 72 years old this past December— still very much in his prime— while on a trip abroad. The news was shared with me around that time by Taylor Patterson of , the same friend/fellow florist who had introduced us in 2022. I was struck. Not Richard - his heart was just too big. His offering to his family, staff, neighbors and clients was enormous. He loved peonies, and he loved beauty.

It was a real coup to find a grower within driving distance of the city, who could offer me peonies at an affordable price that suited the subscription. Peonies regularly wholesale between $3 and $8 a stem - which wouldn’t amount to much in a subscription bouquet. I fell in love with his ‘Lovely Rose,’ peony and we featured them every year for a week, and then mixed doubles for a second week. I looked forward to reconnecting with Richard and the magic of his farm each year.

Beyond the beauty, quality and affordability of his stems, the true joy was working and speaking with Richard himself. He was full of energy, passion, and was always excited to hear from me in early spring each year. Had a fabulous accent. Was so jovial. Always happy to prepare a special order for me each year and then not hear from me for 11 months.

The first year we put in an order of around 1200 stems, and I went to pick up myself. I was floored by the stunning fields. The next year, I brought my staff down to experience Styers’ famous ‘Peony Festival,’ which Richard launched so that the public could get to experience the incredible beauty of their fields — rolling slopes of dozens upon dozens of varieties.

Originally a grower from Zimbabwe, Richard took over the peony operation at Styers about 20 years ago. He initiated the Peony Festival at the beginning of the Pandemic when people were desperate for hope, fresh air, and uplift.

I’ll always think of Richard and his farm at peony season. The loss is monumental— the legacy is larger.

Revisiting the rich, sunset-toned florals from C + P’s January wedding at . It was such a treat to work with the incredible planning team on this one, and to have genius on board to capture all the magical details. From a misty morning and perfect snowfall pre-ceremony, to the twinkle of the crystals floating around this iconic space as dark fell… this wedding was truly one for the books.   Sourcing locally-grown blooms in January is no small feat. We gathered what we could from growers close by, and sourced the rest as seasonally appropriate as possible. Amaryllis were a mainstay, along with helleborus, ranunculus, tulips, and callas.   It was so much fun to lean into the whimsy of the Rainbow Room through playful shape and forms, while keeping it classic and elegant through bloom selection. Much inspiration came from couple and venue, as well as the creative contributions of all vendors:

Winter tulip season 2026 - Part I of II.

It was frigid. It was icy. It was snowy snowy snowy. Perfect for kittens, grown/silly cats soft as silk, staying in, cozy couches, bingeing music and tv, long chats with long distance friends. For keeping my head down in flowers. And through it all, and were harvesting tulips they’d selected and purchased a year ago; planted months ago. I was carting tulips to my delight every week. The team and I were beholding, obsessing over, washing, trimming, bunching, photographing, arranging, designing and composting tulips. The first batch came in 2/9/26; the last 3/18/26.

Endless thanks Jenna, John and Maddy, and to all of our members across our beautiful city for supporting and investing in beauty in such a dark time. It was icy and frigid in more ways than one… It’s been a tumultuous few months, maybe you’ve felt that too? I’ve felt like my heart and soul has been tumbling in the washing machine, round and round.   The Year of the Fire Horse has been running at a clip, despite the cold and the internal need for hibernation and slowness. Tulips in our hands, laps, kitchen tables and compost bags have kept us grounded, thankful, and connected to our community. Part II of II tomorrow.

A little over a year ago in mid April 2025 we had the pleasure of collaborating with on the launch of Star Hill Farms, their first ever American wheat whiskey. My amazing team helped to conceptualize, fabricate, design and install a hanging wheat installation / constellation of sorts, all sourced from a long time source for us, and . A request for planted troughs of red flowers was easily met thanks to an abundance of locally grown red ranunculus from , gorgeous and tall red tulips from and red anemones from … three sustainably minded farms that always celebrate nature as maker ❤️. The venue - the captured our attention for a few weeks, from the beautiful, used collection of Michelin guides to France - to the large kitchen countertops that became home to an abundance of spring vegetables. Was amazed to see that one of my heroes, had been in attendance ⚡️. It is so nice when the values we’re attempting to live out to the best of our abilities (never perfectly) are also reached for in big ways and small by others. Ideating and designing in ways that reduces use of any non reusable, non compostable materials is our MO. All flowers and veg were composted as per usual! Scroll for ! Also, I have a lot of beautiful dried wheat in storage if anyone needs. 🌾

I decided around Christmas (yes, of last year - which feels like eons ago already) - during a groggy, fatigued bout of the flu - to surrender.

Instead of writing that 2025 recap that had been on my physical and mental list for weeks (what I SHOULD do), I decided that what felt right to me was writing up more of a look forward, something to assist me in manifesting the kind of growth and change I want for myself and Molly Oliver Flowers in 2026. And, that I could, then, put it off till January! Bliss.

Convenient? Yes, given my convalescent state, my brain fog, I did not have energy to write something before the year’s end. But this decision to forgo the requisite ‘Year End Post’ felt right. Like a new internal alignment, but also external - with the season, with my surroundings, and with what I need now and how I want to operate as a human, business owner, in this present day and age.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: running a ‘sustainable’ business has to be about more than just thinking through and making decisions about the sourcing of your raw materials (in my case, flowers, vessels, ribbon, candles, paper goods, etc.), and, where they ultimately end up…

The recent revelations surrounding the founder/chef René Redzepi of the Michelin-starred restaurant Noma - heralded as a pinnacle of sustainability (through local sourcing, energy cycling, etc.) and global gastronomic art for years - provide a stunning, and sadly not so surprising example of the ways in which striving for perfect waste reduction and seasonal sourcing will and should never, ever, be the high water mark of ‘sustainability.’ That we are very much missing the point when we isolate a business’s environmental practices and efforts to reduce impact on the planet from its operating principles and practices - its worker health and safety.

And so, back to my sad tale of late 2025 influenza interrupting the daily grind… forcing my fatigued, post-flu mind and body to summon the creative energy and stamina to produce a coherent, engaging and grammatically correct synopsis of 2025 was not in the cards and perhaps will never be again…

My clients are truly cool people and so are their friends. So lucky to get to co-create with such awesome people month after month. C and G were one of a kind from the start: High school sweethearts. Born and bred New Yorkers - both of them (rare). Their two cats were very important to them. They wanted people to “steal flowers off the tables, they loved them so much.” In other words, flowers were also important. C was a quilter and a quilt would be a backdrop for the ceremony 🖤. There also had to be citrus. I scoured Sunset Park’s Chinatown markets for kumquats, silver line melons, and picked out orange and clementine-like things that were clearly some special variety, just fresher and more vibrant and fragrant…. Most of all they were so kind. So kind to each other. So trusting and so full of joy and happiness. It’s such a privilege to create something in this kind of container. All the best FRUITS of our labor come forth. Thank you C and G, and to Khaki for the stunning captures. This was their first dance number...🍊

Just a question for , since I do not own or live within a mile or two of a fax machine.

01/30/2026

proudly stands with immigrants (no matter their documentation), women / trans / LGBTQ folks, the concept of a department of education, free and fair elections, the earth and all of the creatures that quietly support our very human existence and mental health, and so many more things that shouldn’t have to be explained or defended. But here we are.

Today, Friday 1/30, we will be prioritizing communications with 2026 clients, prospective clients, subscribers, staff, freelancers, and vendor/event partners. The essentials. Thank you for your patience - we look forward to connecting with you soon.

As a small business owner, as a single person with a single income to lean on, and as a human in the 2026 economy, I recognize how difficult it may be for many (even most) to participate in a general strike. Not everyone can afford to lose a day of work, a work opportunity, an important client call, a day of childcare, etc. In case it is helpful, here is how I’m choosing to participate today and approach the day with balance that feels right:

* No shopping/buying: using what I have at home - most important way to send a message to the government and its funders that we will hurt them where it counts if we have to

* Supporting other small businesses for things I need

* Using (an app) to quickly / easily call my reps today to demand Noem’s and Miller’s impeachments

* Finding ways to be in IRL conversation / connection / community

* Take time to refill my own cup - breathe, stretch, talk to loved ones - and to feel into my deep appreciation for the many ways so many have been taking risks, sacrificing, in the name of what is right (love over hate)

Please check out for 20 creative ways to participate and make impact today.

With love and flowers,
Molly

More of all this is 2026. More one of a kind collaborations between farmer/nature/client/fellow creatives. Also, manifesting for me: More risk taking. More vulnerability. More experiments. More pause – more space for incubation. More weekly accounts for home and business… (and more on that soon, that’s new;) Each year there are hurdles and hardships and crazy highs and lows and all of it is what makes flowering life worthwhile. Flowers challenge me, inspire me endlessly, and just give me life. The artists who come through this studio and work along side me also give me life— regular inspiration and laughter as we adventure through the seasons. Bringing events to fruition in partnership with many talented, hard working creatives – planners, venues, photographers, lighting/sound artists, makeup artists, chefs and catering teams, riggers, breakdown baddies and so many others– is a privilege. In this upside down world, it’s lovely to be reminded regularly that the possibilities for transformation are as infinite as our imaginations. So, thank you for being here and for any small way in which you’ve supported this business so far –a hire, a referral, a subscription, a beautiful photo, a blurb, a like, a save, a share, a follow, a comment, a cash tip for my crew, a positive review. I’m really excited to see what 2026 holds.
