We went to the Bascom's Dazzling Dahlia show and got an honorable mention this year. And it was our first year in the Carolina Dahlia Society show and our pompon made it first in form and made it to the head table as most perfect! πŸ˜±πŸ™ŒπŸ˜

It was a great time seeing all the amazing blooms at both shows, I learned so much this year! Excited about next year.

I put all the nominees in the wheel and gave it a spin this morning and our winner of the bouquet πŸ’ is Renee Craige!! Please look for a message from me in your FB DM so we can arrange to meet soon!

Below is what Tiffany Brown Loiko had to say about Renee and why she nominated her πŸ’•πŸ₯Ή.

"Renee is not only one of the kindest, sweetest & gentle person I’ve ever met, she’s also the best doggie aunt!!! Renee always puts others first and goes out of her way to help anyone she can. Renee always has a smile & warm embrace! Renee is what we need more of in not only our county, but our world!!! πŸ’œπŸ’«"

A little 'get to know a local flower farmer wannabee 🐝' moment today.

This year we grew over 200 different varieties of dahlias. It's our second year growing dahlias and third year growing cutflowers in general. The goal was twofold: figure out which ones we really love, to then expand their space in the field; and pick the best and strongest genetics for our own dahlia breeding goals (more on that in a different post one day).

It's sounds and looks like madness but there's a method to it. πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬

All of that to say, we've definitely found our first dahlia that is going to have a permanent spot in the field and gain extra spots next year. The beautiful, glowy, waterlily type that is Sandia Bliss. She's 100% that girl and she knows it. I do a double take every time I walk past her and she's not even in her prime yet. πŸ’–πŸ”₯

What do you guys think? Isn't she lovely?
