Tuesday 8/12 - Today’s bouquets are similar to yesterday’s, a mix of all things beautiful in my garden.

The focal flowers are several zinnias and marigolds with at least one dahlia and one aster. I also had 2 huge, gorgeous black eyed Susan’s, so big they almost look like sunflowers. They are from a fresh plant from a second succession that I used. The filler flowers are celosia, snapdragons, strawflower, gomphrena, and statice. The filler is lemon basil and frosted explosion grass.

Saturday 8/9 - You must have loved the Buffalo Bills themed bouquets as much as I did because they sold out in less than a day. It will take a while for my red and blue flowers to push more blooms. I hope to have more for next Sunday’s game. I harvested a variety of flowers this morning and made more bouquets to take to Hopewell Market.

Friday 8/8 - Today’s bouquets are Buffalo Bills themed bouquets with red, white and blue flowers. The red flowers are zinnias, gomphrena, a snapdragon, and celosia (both cristata vaiety that looks like brains and the spicata variety that has the shape of wheat). The blue flowers are ageratum, echinops (globe thistle), and fama scabiosa which is a perennial variety of the pincushion flower. The white are small world dahlias and white spicata celosia. These bouquets are going to Hopewell Market.
