I thought for sure we would get frosted last night but we did NOT!

That means one last week of flowers, for real this time. Varieties are becoming limited, but there are plenty of stems left - grab yours before they are gone for the season!

Florists - I can fulfill Oct 21-24.
Retail bouquets - available by request Oct 21-24.

It's the final week of the season, and JUST LOOK at the dahlia field! I've never had this many blooms so late in the season.

This week will be your last chance of the season to grab some local blooms to bring home. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I will have my final mixed bouquets available, but you'll need to let me know by Thursday so I can make sure to harvest before frost wipes them out.

Are you in??

A new (to me) dahlia variety I am really enjoying this season - Bloomquist Compare.

The plants are nice and tall, blooms are large and consistently 5-6" across. There is a lovely lavender blush over creamy white petals, and just a touch of yellow at the center to make the bloom seem to glow from within.

Not sure yet if I will have enough tubers to add to my sale this fall, or if I will be keeping them all for myself, but this variety is a major keeper!
