I am enjoying my David Austin roses that I bought earlier this year I took a chance, looking for something cream, they are shades of pink yellow and apricot ending with pretty pink spotting that gives a wild vintage look. Lovely with other roses in ice cream colours, romantic with hydrangeas and philadelphus, no, the Philadelphus were the best flowers this year with their heavenly scent, no I cannot choose, it is the combination of scents, colours textures and shapes that is so delicious in a garden and bouquet.

I’ve always been a lover of flowers but have just recently began my journey of growing them. I used to spend my younger years walking through my grams garden listening to her tell me about them and watch her stop and touch them with such love. This is my first time growing zinnias and cosmos from seed and I look forward to my evenings just walking through them and showing them the same love my grams taught me many years ago.

Hydrangeas are abundant right now and a beautiful addition at this time of year in E. WA!

I’m loving my gladiolus in my garden and the red Barron grasses!

Six years ago a local florist produced magical wild woodland bouquets for my daughter’s wedding using hydrangeas, white fama scabiosa, and blue sea holly among ivies and other greens. I now have all three blooming in my garden. They bring back special memories for my family.

I like the pops of color that shows up wherever I or nature sprinkled the humble Marigold. This time of year our gingers and turmerics are in all it’s green glory and I can’t wait to see each one of them bloom.

My yard is kinda between blooms now, but I’m enjoying my annuals and the hydrangeas that survived our hot spell. Dahlias will be next!

zinna’s actually. I’m a first year farmer and I didn’t think very much of this flower until I started growing them. I didn’t think they were anything special. Boy, was I wrong! I think I have fallen in love with them, what a pleasant surprise!

As a first time mom, I needed to find a creative outlet. Something that felt like my old self, but now I was in a different season of life. Which is why I turned to gardening and growing flowers. I bought Cut Flower Garden because it was suggested to me by my friend and immediately I was engulfed with pure beauty spilling from each page. Shortly after that I made my first purchase of Floret seeds. I am forever grateful for the memories Floret has allowed me to experience. There is truly nothing like making sweet memories with my 14mo. old as we sniff all of the garden flowers. As of right now, when I see my son’s face light up with pure joy and a smile from ear to ear as he smells buttercream stock I would say this too is my favorite. Xo

I love my hydrangeas. The blooms are massive. I also love my peony.
