Fresh Cuts: May 13

The first things to bloom outside on the farm are yellow--daffodils, spurge and thermopsis.  And it seems that every shade of yellow tulips is also blooming.

This is our cutie Sam who helps after school, she is graduating in a few weeks. (She is the official Bindweed bucket scrubber this year.)  She stopped by to show off her "graduation car"--congratulations!  And to pick up a bouquet for her mom.



Happy Mother's Day from Sam, Zeke and Gus!
 We have loads of tulips this week, many are variations of yellow, but we also have red, orange, pink, apricot and mango.

tulip "Dordogne"--a dreamy mango color with slight pink accents

tulip "Hocus Pocus"--huge lily-tipped tulip, streaked with orange

tulip "Red Cap"--magenta/pink parrot tulip 
 We have beautiful white foxglove.

We are cutting the last of the daffodils and the thermopsis have just begun to bloom.  The thermopsis is the yellow flower in the top right of the photo, it looks like yellow lupine.
