I love Digitalis season! These white digitalis were grown from seed, it has taken 3 years to get blooms! It’s named “Snow Thimble.”
It had a low germination rate, and a high root rot rate. So it was a challenge to get these flowers to this stage.
Local flowers grown patiently and sustainably are such a joy to fill your home with!
The second photo is Campanula, amazingly long vase life with sturdy blooms. It takes 2 years to get flowers from these plants.
Compared to Dahlias, these spring flowers are not cut and come again, and once the harvest is completed there will be no more.
This is why I have to charge $20 for a market bouquet. Talent, patience, love, and resources go into the production of my flowers. I do not purchase flowers from the grocery store, or other farmers, I carefully sow, plant, nurture, and hand harvest each blossom.
I do have a close friend who allows me to cut her roses, mainly because until I have a deer fence, my rose bushes are deer snacks.
I give her plants and eggs and deadhead her roses for her. I grow plants she requests on the farm that she doesn’t have the space to grow.
I’m excited to have these flowers available at the Blackberry Food Co-op, the South Valley Farmer’s Market, the Bookmine, and the Flower Basket!
Buy local flowers and enjoy the diversity!
