Does this Lysimachia "Firecracker" look familiar? Look back to my blog dated August 8 . I did several arrangements with "Firecracker" and at the end of the week I took everything out except the lysimachia. Each week I refreshed the water and marveled at the longevity of this little plant. After four weeks I find it freakishly strange!
The bad news is that we have ended deliveries for the season--the good news is that our good friends at Go-fer it are happy to make deliveries right to your door. This week we are in a bit of an uproar getting ready for tulips and prepping a new greenhouse for rannunculus and anemonies. So my blog this week is down and dirty--photos of flowers right out of the field.
First up: Amaranth "Hot Biscuit"
Bells of Ireland
Blood flower AKA Scarlett Asclepiasand
Sea Oats
Delphinium and orange bits in the front of the bucket are Orange Asclepias
Euphoriba "Marginata"Seriously this is another foliage plant with longevity. I deliver a bouquet each week to a doctor's office in town. Three weeks ago I made a monochromatic bouquet with this euphorbia, white phlox and Highlander millet. Last week my client asked me to leave the bouqet because it still looked good. This week I did take the arrangement away because the phlox was very tired but the euphorbia, and of course the millet, looked fantastic. Freaky!
Ornamental oregano, yarrow and more delphinium.
"Pee Gee" Hydrangea--we are still cutting "Lime light" and the "Pee Gee" has just started.
Snow berry and Coral berry--we did not cut it back this year and so the stems are branching multiples instead of one long arching stem. I think it is easier to work with.
We are still greeting the dawn with shears in hand and start each day cutting what ever is ready. Due to the prolonged cool spring, the list is surprisingly long. Please check your fax and email for full availability and if you are especially interested in something just call us. We will be happy to send it to you.
