A few more new arrangements out this morning in full-spectrum colors ๐ŸŒˆ and praying for rain ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒง๏ธ this afternoon. More harvesting, w**ding, watering, and sunflower sowing are on the agenda for today. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

The first of my grown-from-seed lisianthus are finally starting to bloom ๐ŸŽ‰ However, those first blooms open up about 10-14 days before the rest of the buds on the stem so they get cut really short in order to let the rest of the stem mature. Itโ€™s hard to be patient, but I will throw the shorties into these low arrangements while we wait for the abundance of beauty to come ๐Ÿ’—

Fresh cut arrangements are on the porch this morning, with a few more headed out before I put the flower buckets away until this evening. The first of the dahlia and zinnia blooms have made their way into these arrangements too, providing a sneak peak at a delightfully colorful August ๐Ÿค—

Quiet mornings in the garden are the best โค๏ธ

Porch flowers this morning are a refresh of some of the wedding flowers from this weekendโ€ฆfresh cut, fresh water, a few fresh stems to bulk up these beauties for you to enjoy for the next several days. Priced to reflect that they are already a few days into their vase life. But they should last at least until the end of the work week.

And one picture of the cutest little monarch caterpillar who hatched on a stem of swamp milkw**d I harvested last week. A sweet little reminder of the beauty of the circle of life ๐Ÿฆ‹

As the mother of the bride and the frantic florist, I didnโ€™t have a chance to take too many pictures. But here are just a few snapshots of what ended up being a lovely combination of blooms to compliment a beautiful wedding. Many thanks to birchrunblooms for my favorite Oklahoma Salmon zinnias that provided the perfect pop of peach. And Wild Hart Acres for some dancing cosmos stems. And Yockey Farm for the beautiful dahlia blooms that were exactly what I needed for the bouquets ๐Ÿ’•

**Because of the busyness of this weekend, I will not be bringing flowers to the Thomas Township Farmers Market tomorrow**

However, if you need your flower fix this week ๐Ÿ˜‰ reorganized leftover wedding flowers are definitely a possibility for Monday porch flowers. And Iโ€™ll be harvesting fresh stems for Tuesday. While I was preoccupied with a wedding, lots more of my cosmos and zinnias started blooming!

Itโ€™s an early morning harvest of flowers for a wedding weekend ๐Ÿ’• Thereโ€™s very little to harvest in my own garden as I have lots of cosmos, lisianthus, and zinnia buds, but very few that are blooming. But a lifetime of making do with the limited resources I have has prepared me for days like these ๐Ÿ˜‰

With the lack of focal flowers, the porch flower offerings are just a few vases this morning. Sunflowers and lemon basil foliage is one of my favorite combinations ๐Ÿ‹ and you get just a whiff of that fresh lemon scent with these beauties!

Happy Last Week of July!

Another great market yesterday (thank you flower friends ๐Ÿ’•) But I do have 3 larger sunflower arrangements left if you missed the market and need some sunshine this week โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ˜Š Plus Iโ€™m pulling together a few more pint jar arrangements with leftover flowers for this morning.

Itโ€™s a really busy week in the Sleeping Bee household as we have a wedding on Saturday ๐Ÿ’— Lots and lots of flowers to be prepped for that!

So the flower porch will have lovely vase arrangements and bunches today, Wednesday, and Thursday onlyโ€ฆthe rest of the week is all wedding prep ๐Ÿค— Need a special order in the next couple of days? Let me know! Beyond that, Iโ€™ll be a little preoccupied ๐Ÿ˜‰

Itโ€™s another ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ’• at the Thomas Township Farmers Market! Lots of beautiful vase and jar arrangements to choose from today, plus mixed bouquets featuring sunflowers and snapdragons

New things blooming include these Lemon Lite and Peach sunflowers and a new-to-me filler called blue lace flower. Cosmos are finally starting to send up blooms, and I have some beautifully intense shades of pink, fuchsia, orange and gold celosia plumes this year. So fun ๐Ÿคฉ

4-7pm at Roberts Park, rain or shine โ˜€๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธ See you there!

Woo Hoo ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’• Thanks to Sophie who dashed in at 6:55 last night and bought my last vase and wrapped bouquet, I officially sold out at the market!!! It was such a great night with so many vendors selling loads of produce, baked goods, flowers, and other locally produced goods thanks to all of you who โค๏ธ This Thomas Township Farmers Market community really is the best!

While I sold out all I brought to the market, I still had lots of flowers left to make up a few more vases for the porch this morning. And Iโ€™m headed out to harvest and w**d and water (but hoping for the predicted rain!) Wednesday morning porch flowers will be your last opportunity to grab some garden-grown beauties this week ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒผ

It is going to be a very colorful ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŽ‰ at the Thomas Township Farmers Market!

Not only are the mid-summer flowers in full-spectrum shades, but Iโ€™ve pulled out all my colored vases for these market arrangements. So many of these vases have been donated by my flower friends, and Iโ€™ve picked up quite a few from thrift stores. After last weekโ€™s intense heat and ashen skies, it felt like a good day to bring a little extra color to the market ๐Ÿค—

Head to Roberts Park anytime between 4-7pm today and bring home some seasonal color for your home ๐Ÿ’•
