At Market

Bindweed joined the Portneuf Valley Farmers' Market the first weekend in May so you can get your flower fix each Saturday.  Pretty flowers from pretty girls, what's not to like!

Jerica will be at market every Saturday through out the season and will be delighted to help you select the freshest flowers professionally grown and hand selected.

We have also joined forces with our friends at LadyBird Farms to offer you another venue for fresh flowers.  Just sign up for a bouquet when collecting your weekly shares and it will be in your box the following week. 

Here are some teaser bouquets:

I just put these bouquets together for my subscription clients--oh yeah, if you live in the Blackfoot area you can sign up for our subscription bouquet service.  Beautiful bouquets delivered to your door or place of business every week!

(Ooo, can you see my pretty delivery van in the background!

  More about it in the next post, or maybe the one after that.)

I made this beautiful arrangement for myself and put it on my bedside table.  The scent of sweet peas and lily of the valley sent me sweet dreams.

What's Fresh May 7, 2012

We bid a sad farewell to the ranunculus this week, as the days lengthen the ranunculus begin to shut down but the daffodils are prime this week.  Cool nights and cloudy days, the perfect weather for daffodils.

We are featuring Tahiti daffodils, double flower heads three inches in diameter on 10-12 inch stems, beautifully fragrant.

 

 

They are the ballerinas of the field in fluffy yellow tutus.

Bridal Crown, another specialty daffodil, very fragrant multiple flowers on 8 inch stems.  Like a handful of sweet popcorn.

We also have Icelandic Poppies in mixed colored bunches, white, yellow, orange and coral.

We are harvesting Lilac, most of our lilacs have double blossoms.

Chantilly Pink Snaps

New this week, Chantilly snaps in pink and yellow.  These snaps are phenomenal!  They look like pink and yellow delphinium stems, they are huge.  I am absolutely in love with these guys.

Chantilly Yellow Snaps

White Snaps

Our Opus White Snaps are starting this week, fragrant clear white on generous stems.

Muscari, aka grape hyacinths, fresh harvest this week.

Lavender Sweet Peas are blooming like crazy.

We are harvesting Thermopsis daily, our first perennial field bloom.  It looks like yellow lupine, but is actually in from the pea family.

We have Tulips...lots and lots of tulips.

After a twelve year absence, Bindweed is returning to the Portneuf Valley Farmer's Market  in Pocatello on Saturday.  We will have fresh flowers and tulip bulbs for sale.  Please stop by and see us.
