It’s here at last!!! We harvested the first of our peonies this morning before the sun hit them.

We’ll have $25 wrapped peony bouquets made to order. With a 7 week old, and it being SO hot and only being able to harvest stems in the morning or evening, having at least a 24 hour notice for when you want to pick them up would be great.

Just comment below or shoot us a message for how many you want and when you’d like to pick them up, and we’ll make porch pickup happen…easy peasy!

AND if YOU have peonies you are wanting to save for a future time, google how to save peonies for a future bloom date, and learn how you can do it in just your regular fridge! You can’t harvest them at the hard marble stage, or once it has already blown open, but when it has a marshmallow squish, perfect stage for both maximum vase life or saving it for later in the fridge. Look it up if you’re curious. Perfect way to have these beauties for a wedding or shower, or purely to have bouquets on your own table for weeks to come beyond the normal peony season. Enjoy!

Do you like plants that take care of themselves with little to no maintenance? Me all the way! Ranunculus is so not a low maintenance flower. These don’t like to get too hot. They like the cool days. They like shade cloth, which helps their stems get longer. They don’t like it too cold though. You have to cover them with frost cloth if it goes below freezing for several nights. You can even plant these when there’s snow on the ground here in our zone. But we didn’t get them in the ground early enough for any of that cold weather pampering. They took forever to ship in the mail, and we figured it was a too late bloom year for them. When the temps are above 70 for a long time, they go dormant. Then when the foliage of the corms turn all the way yellow, you can dig them up and save them for next year’s planting, and find that the corms multiplied underground when you dig them up. Why is the fuss so worth it?? Florists love them!! They boast of a 2 week vase life. Once you cut a bloom, it keeps sending out more and more blooms till it’s season ends.

We tried to use what we already had to gerryrig a cool, shaded area for them. Harvesting them may get a little interesting, and we may have to disassemble the shade cloth and wall for a time to get in there and then put it back up after we harvest the blooms, but what a delightful to find over 10 buds on them today, when we weren’t expecting ANY till early July if at all!!! It’s our second year trying them, and last year we only got 3 blooms total out of the 30 we planted. Definitely went bigger this year.

Another of the new dahlia varieties we’re growing this year. ❤️ If you’re growing your own dahlias, have they popped above the ground yet? Did you remember to pinch them? Look up how to pinch dahlias on YouTube, cause pinching makes the dahlia send up MORE stems, making it MORE bushy and full, with MORE blooms. And who doesn’t want more flowers off their dahlias to enjoy and share with others??!!!

This happened to us last summer! Not with ranunculus like shown in the video, but with some of our dahlia varieties, where I had photographed a bucket of peachy pink looking dahlias and other flowers that complimented, and a customer wanted to purchase a bucket of it a month later for their party. Even in one months time, the colors shifted in those same dahlia plants to more of a yellow hue. I wasn’t expecting that!

We have 23 new dahlia varieties we’re growing this year, in addition to most of the varieties we grew last year. More blush colors, corals, pinks, whites, deeper magentas, and then this fun Collerette variety called Bumble Rumble we got from a local dahlia grower in Sebewaing. Bumble Rumble is just fun to say!! We’ve never grown a Collerette before, so we’ll see how she does. I’ve heard sometimes they can be hard to overwinter.

We bought some tubers In Sebewaing, and traded with a dahlia grower in Bay City, and also an Amish dahlia grower in Cass City.

Here I didn’t know of many dahlia growers in our area, but I’m discovering more and more. Who else knows of someone here locally who loves to grow dahlias for fun or as a business?

We have SOME dark purple Iris that is ready for harvest too, so let us know if you’d like that incorporated in your custom local flower bouquet(s) as well or instead of the light purple. See comments for what the dark purple Iris looks like.

If you’ve read any of Florets gorgeous floral design books full of stunning photographs of her floral design or of the ins and outs of flower growing and farming, or followed her on social media, you’ll know she’s just as passionate about foliage as she is about followers. It was because of her books that I started looking around our property for some of the ingredients Erin was using. I love how in her books she’d show a gorgeous arrangement, and then she’d go step by step how she would build and add what ingredients. One I noticed we had a TON of was honeysuckle. Gorgeous in all stages of growth…pink or white blooms in the spring that die off and become green balls, that turn into red or orange non-edible berries in summer, and then the leaves turn gorgeous fall autumn shades for even more pretty styling in arrangements.

And what a delightful surprise this morning to discover the floral gold mine or pennycress on the edge of our property! These stems are HIgHlY sought after in the floral design world for their texture, shape, and that they last 2-3 WEEKS in the vase before turning a silvery gray in the vase. They dry beautifully too.

But give it a try yourself. Start with just a bouquet of ONLY flowers. It’s beautiful, and alright, but you’ll notice something missing. Grab a few stems of foliage from your yard, or even something you normally would have thought a w**d in a ditch, did it to your bouquet, and watch it transform before your eyes!

Though we have SOME spring flowers with our floral shop delivery run in Caro, Bay City, and Saginaw Michigan today, we have a lot of gorgeous local foliage.

Who all has heard of bridal veil spirea? It is in its PRIME right now in zone 6b here in Michigan, and has a fantastic long vase life. Or actually, our property may be zone 5 we just found out. All around us it is zone 6b, but when a flower catalog came in the mail, I never really paid attention to it before, but near where they print your name and address on the backside of the catalog, I noticed they print your specific zone on there for ease of reference for the customer. At least this company did. What??!! Zone 5???? Sure enough, some zoning maps show a tiny little dot where we are a zone 5 in a sea of zone 6b. So THAT’s why it seems like others are ahead of us when we drive just 5 miles away or less. Their daffodils come on earlier than us, their irises, their peonies…

Learning something new everyday!

We had a magenta peony clump that was under the pine trees out near the road when we moved in. It was really pretty, but the blooms seemed small, and every year there seemed less and less. Last fall, we decided to transplant and separate them, and in a 3’ size mass of peony plant, we separated over 70 peony plants that had 2+ eyes on them!! I’m not sure how many years ago it was planted there, but we couldn’t believe how many plants were divided out of it!! Though it will be 2-3 years before they start producing blooms again, it was fun to add another flower bed and imagine what it will fill out to look like after a few years. Eric really wanted to take just one swipe with the lawn mower there in front of the picket fence instead of one and a half, so he’s really pleased about that. ☺️ It was all his idea in the first place to expand. Our aunt gave a bunch of yellow and purple Iris rhizomes that multiplied in her flower bed, and we moved catmint out there from where they had been under our magnolia tree. I was trying to go for more of a cottage feel, and Eric is more flower farmer minded of straight lines, simple group all of one kind together. So we did a compromise. And I don’t know what you call this look. 🤷‍♀️
