Happy Monday! 💐 What better way to kick off the week than with a little bouquet photo dump? Here are a few of the premium bouquets that made their way out the door over the weekend! 🌸🤩

Good morning flower friends! 🌸 We are back from vacation and I wanted to give a little weekend (8/28-8/30) update.

Unfortunately, I am unable to take additional bouquet orders for pickup this weekend and the flower stand will NOT be open this weekend while I’m busy filling summer subscriptions and a couple of larger flower orders. 💐 Also, the Lima Farmer’s Market will be closed this weekend due to the fair.

Thank you so much for keeping me busy and supporting my flower farm. I’ll be sure to keep you updated on when I re-open bouquet orders the when stand will be stocked again! 🌿💗

Last year I saved seeds from some of my favorite zinnias, not really knowing exactly what colors would show up this year. I decided to plant them with my last succession of zinnias and let me tell you… they did NOT disappoint! 😍 I came back from vacation to find that these little beauties have bloomed into the funnest shades of pink! 💕🌸

There’s something extra special about growing flowers from seeds I saved myself. You plant them, wait (and wait 😂), and then get these little surprises that are completely their own. 💗

Good morning! I just wanted to let everyone know that Backyard Blossoms & Blooms will be taking a much needed break from August 19th through August 26th 😊

It’s been a busy summer (no complaints here 😉), and I am looking forward to taking a few days to slow down, recharge, and enjoy some time away.

There’s just something extra special about dahlias. 😍 Their colors, shapes, and layers make them such a beautiful focal flower, and I absolutely love adding them to my late summer and fall bouquets!

One little thing to know about dahlias is that their vase life is a bit shorter than some of my other favorites, like zinnias and lisianthus. While zinnias and lisianthus can keep looking beautiful for quite a while, dahlias are a little more delicate and may not last quite as long.

But honestly? I think they’re worth it. 💕 There’s nothing quite like bringing a freshly cut dahlia from the garden into your home!

Who else is a dahlia lover? 🙋‍♀️🌸

🌧️ A little change of plans this weekend! 🌧️

Due to the recent storms and the damage they’ve caused, I unfortunately won’t be able to attend the farmer’s market this weekend.

BUT… The good news is that I will have a limited number of bouquets and arrangements available at the flower stand this Saturday from 9-2pm 💐

If you were planning on getting your flower fix this weekend, be sure to stop by early… Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Thank you so much for understanding and for continuing to support my little backyard flower farm. You truly are the best!! ❤️

🌸 Hey flower friends! With so many new faces here, I thought I’d reintroduce myself.

I’m Dana, the grower (and more often than not, the weed-puller 😅) behind Backyard Blossoms & Blooms.

What started as a small vegetable garden slowly turned into a backyard full of flowers. I started planting flowers because they made me happy, and soon I realized they were bringing joy to others too, which is how this little flower farm began.

Every bouquet you see is grown, cut, and arranged by me right here at home, in my backyard. From planting seeds to early morning and late evening harvests, I’m involved in every step.

My goal is simple: to share a little beauty and show that big dreams can grow in small spaces.

Whether you’ve been here from the start or just found my page, thank you for being here and supporting this dream. It truly means so much. 💐
