Week 28 ~ July 10-July 16

The blooms are really stating to come on.  Yarrow, Asian Lily, Hosta, Coneflower, Chinese Forget-me-not, and Pearl Achillea are now blooming.  We are seeing buds on Dahlia, Bells of Ireland, False Queen Anne's Lace, Scabiosa, Rudbeckia, Sunflower, and Zinnia.

Week 27 ~ July 3-July 9

The new arrival this week is Status, with Yarrow soon to come.  I'll try to get a pic each week showing what will be going into the market bouquets.

Week 26 ~ June 26-July 2

We have some new faces starting to show themselves in the field, and therefore in our bouquets.  The Ranunculus and Anemone have started to bloom, our first bulbs.  We are also starting to see Bachelor Buttons, Statice, and Corn Cockle.  We are also seeing our Strawflowers, which are slowly opening their stiff, colorful petals.  The Callendula and Larkspur are starting to ramp up, and the Poppies and Cosmos are in their prime.

Week 25 ~ June 19-June 25

Cool weather returned.  It is the time of the Meadow Bouquet.  Cosmos and Iceland Poppies are definately the royalty of the field.
