Your Horticulture Florist
What a glorious time to be a horticulture florist! Perennial flowers are showing up and I can’t get out of bed fast enough each morning to cherish and share them.

Round Tables had flower frog vases with eucalyptus and white florals
Head Table mix of silver dollar and cinerea eucalpytus* highlighted with white florals
*we used the flower frog vases instead of laying the eucalyptus flat between the picture frames, table numbers and candles. This allows more height and dimension to the table. Silver dollar is flatter than a piece of paper and does nothing for me. If you are going to use eucalyptus laid on tables, please please please use baby eucalyptus or cinerea. Don’t only put something on a table because it’s cheap and something there. If that’s the case, use the venues candles and nothing else. Ok off my pedestal on that!

Flower Farm & Gardens Weekly Update
The gardens and flower farm are in two different stages. I consider the gardens our perennial flowers and vine. The flower farm consists of annual flowers that I change up depending on weddings for that year.
I received my 3 colors of lisianthus plugs late last week ~ roughly 375 plants. This is the one flower that I love and don’t want to attempt to grow from seed so I let Farmer Bailey take it on! As do most people in the flower farming business.
The roses make my heart swell with bliss.
Even though last year I almost burned all of our butterfly wedding plant because they got taken over by aphids. Let me stop right there and tell you aphids are the grossest insect in this whole flower experience. Funny they don’t really harm the plant but watching millions of them continually reproduce and line the stems in plants makes this girl sick. I shiver just thinking about it! BUT the benefit of this lovely plant is that it attracts monarch caterpillars. We counted 6 last night. So what I did to compromise with our lovely monarch caterpillar was to remove every other plant so the aphids don’t come around. I’ll let you know if that worked or not. I’m always trying something new in the flowers.
Last but not least we received our 6 plugs of chrysanthemum for the trial for Harmony Harvest. So excited to be part of this experiment!
