Some of my saved seed zinnias making my life better.

Seed saved from and plants last year. I was very very clever and only planted zinnias from these three zinnia breeders. They new generation are not disappointing!

Just a post of all the new zinnias from seed I saved last summer. They are making my day/week/life.

Seed was saved from and open pollinated blooms.

After a lot of thought, and some big life changes in the next year, I’m sharing that I’ll be winding down Duncan Rd Flowers.

I’ve tried to make this work for the past 5 years, and while it hasn’t worked in the way I hoped financially, this journey has given me so much. I’ve learnt an incredible amount, met the most wonderful people, and experienced endless joy growing and sharing flowers here in the Far North.

Flower farming has also been time-consuming, difficult, all-consuming… and I’m honestly very tired. At this stage of my life, I want to focus on my family and make space for what comes next.

I have very mixed feelings about this huge change. It’s been a beautiful journey, and I wouldn’t change it. That said, I truly don’t know how small-scale flower farmers are managing to pay the bills and pay themselves right now — especially with the cost of living so high and flowers being a non-essential item for many. I hope I'm wrong. It might be just me, but I'm not so sure about that.

This path has given me new knowledge, new friends, and the absolute privilege of bringing the true joy of flowers to others. I’m so grateful for that. It’s now time to focus on my family and move back into education.

I will continue to supply Bells Produce in Kaitaia until the end of 2026, and I’ll still be offering flower subscriptions and custom orders until early May. I won’t be taking on any new weddings from here.

Thank you, truly, to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, bought flowers, shared kind words, and helped in big and small ways along this flower farming journey. I appreciate you more than I can say.

Just a zinnia the size of my hand... you have outdone yourself.

By day 7, the stems of these zinnias were breaking down. The water was murky and smelly, and the zins were dead and gone.
I couldn't see much difference between the washed vase and the unwashed vase to be honest... it might be different with other flowers.

I think the sugar and vinegar helped this one. You can see on day 5 and 7, the tips of the petals look like they have been burnt. I blame bleach!

I added 1/4t bleach to the vase every 2nd day.
Bleach did weird things to the flowers. It was weird. I don't recommend bleach. Apparently it kills all the bacteria but it just killed the flowers faster in my opinion.

I added 1/4t white vinegar to the water.
