Regardless of how weird & commodified Mother's Day is, it is the biggest floral holiday of the year for flower farmers in the US. This year, 95% of CBF's flowers went through @piedmontwholesaleflowers (the other 5% to some beautiful by-request bo
Deanna @kestrelflora humoring me a few weeks ago with the *perfect** *shot*** 💁📸 (cameo by @itsokimnotfunny, can you spot them). Goodbye ranuncles! We're pulling this crop out on Monday to give this tunnel some rest, (hopefully) blow up the fire a
#peony or #ranunculus? All answers are correct. I finally caved and added a couple peony varieties to our home front field this winter. While these won't be saleable until 2024/2025, who doesn't like a sneak peak? This photo is also proof that if y
The ranunculus has been insanely prolific this year, so, we can do something I've always wanted: week-of single bunches! Available for pick up @___perfectlovers___ this Saturday 3/25 between 9-3pm. The cut off to order for the Saturday pick up will
🚨Breaking news!🚨 Abundance is here, earlier than ever, and we have room for a few more Ranunculus-Only subscriptions (previously sold out). Please humor me with the opportunity to give you one of the best gifts we offer in Spring... 12-15 stems of
With the first #ranunculus stems officially coming through, I'm here to say... subscribers, watch those inboxes - we're coming for you ASAP! In the meantime, the few bunches that are here now are available for florist pre-order @piedmontwholesaleflo
Last year I posted the annual "surprise!" (because they always are) Erlicheer photo on March 7, making us officially 3 weeks ahead this year. I might not be ready for the season to start in earnest, but I love this flower. It's a favorite b
Crated & ignored greenhouse-grown #butterflyranunculus from Fall 2021 looking better and taller than anything I've grown on purpose in the unheated tunnel😐 Wish we had more! The couple bunches available, plus early anemones, are headed to belove
PSA: There are only a few ranunculus {& anemone} subscriptions left total, which will start before you know it. Just like for the December holidays, we are happy to send a printable gift card via email for Val(/gal)entine's, which is next Tuesday

We finished planting the #ranunculus yesterday, intentionally waiting out the cold temps...a decision made as much for the farmer as for the plants! The small early bird discount (code RANUNC10) on the subscription ends tonight. Super excited to deli
#ranunculus / #anemone subscriptions available now! Use code RANUNC10 for a little early bird special, valid thru the New Year. Tell your friends; we've expanded the delivery range to include Durham, Chapel Hill & Hillsborough. Pick up is still f
Last call for #wreaths & #plants before winter break! The Web-Shoppe-Link-In-Bio™️ is open for pick up only during a few days next week/end. There are quite a few styles to choose from, but all in limited quantities. If you missed our pop-u

Here is 'River City' at its peak a few weeks ago. On Tuesday @neon.tumbleweed and @katuyaara cleared the 100 row feet of mums in the tunnel to prep for all the hardy annuals that need to go in ASAP (limited tunnel space is a constant balancing act).
Surprise! (If you've been following this business for any length of time you know we're all about a last minute surprise). We'll be outside @pinestateflowers THIS Saturday, Nov 12 from 11-2 pm where we'll have plants, heirloom mums, & marigolds f
Because I have never grown #mums before, I have never considered that mum szn is inextricably lined up with Scorpio szn. And well, duh, hello, of course it is! This is the incurve variety 'River City' (on @piedmontwholesaleflowers pre-order availabil
The #cafeaulait plants in the tunnel continue to be annihilated by ants, yet somehow we've gotten some pretty exquisite flowers coming out of those beds... a bit of a surprise considering how gnarly the plants (have) look(ed). And now with powdery mi
In this last week of fresh (field) flowers, can we please clap for #lisianthus 👏 Even with a 2nd-flush reduction in stem height & sturdiness, the flowers have continued to be heartbreaking. Over the past four seasons, I've tried many iterations
