Summer flowers, summer flowers. It is all about the flowers. As the end of summer looms closer, we are working hard to harvest all the summer flowers that we can. Strawflower, ammobium, statice, gomphrena, zinnia and dahlias are coming on strong.
flower field
There are a few things that I planted that I will not plant next year. Cerinthe is one of them. It is such a neat plant but the stems are prone to wilting after cutting.
Strawflower blooming
Strawflower has been a beauty. Every time I harvest the papery petals never cease to amaze me.
Strawflower
Strawflower has been around forever. It is an old fashioned flower that has made a huge comeback. I can see why!
market bouquets
The farmers market has been such a great experience. People have been enjoying the variety of flowers that are in the bouquet.

Dried flowers
Do you love dried flowers? I didn’t know that I did. Ammobium everlasting is a cut flower that dries fabulous. These are listed in my Etsy shop. A few other flowers that dry well are, statice, gompherna and yarrow. Bunny tail grass is another thing that dries really well.
