🌷early April marked the last indoor tulip harvest for my winter growing season ✨ It was a fun array of fringe and impression tulips that went out to Winter Tulip Club members ❄️ the last of the hydroponic daffodils and a few final final indoor tulips then adorned tables at last weekend’s Dress to Kill fundraiser event for a local youth adventure summer camp 🏕️
what’s next? we wait and see what our coastal rainforest spring looks like in this corner of Alaska. Last fall I planted many tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, alliums, and other spring flowers that are starting to peak out of the ground. I can’t wait to start building spring bouquets 🌸
these few weeks between indoor and outdoor flowers have been a bit of a break to catch my breath in some ways and somehow still stay busy: lily crates need consistent watering, dahlias are pre sprouting, ranunculus are growing, seeds being started, spreadsheets built, growing numbers analyzed, and orders placed.
And with Mother’s Day just around the corner, the planning and prep continues! It’s the last weekend to place your Mother’s Day order so if you’re looking for specialty blooms here’s your chance 💐✨🌸
🌱 happy growing 🌱
