Flower Shares: Week Three

Hello all!

The field is flush with flowers- it feels like a new variety comes into bloom every other day. And that a particular flower can take on a whole new personality as its blossoms come in. Check out the lovely "Jade" sunflower below, and the frilly Larkspur. Loving the variance in shapes and colors to be found in the field!




This week in your shares you will find a combination of:

Ageratum
Amaranth
Ammi (Dara)
Baby's Breath
Bachelor Buttons
Campanula
Cosmos
Cynoglossum
Delphinium
Frosted Explosion Switch Grass
Larkspur
Nigella
Salvia
Snapdragons
Statice
Sunflowers (Jade)
Sweet William
Zinnia

The beds have also become busy with pollinators. Bees, flies, butterflies, moths. Finches and hummingbirds feeding from the sweet peas. It's a pretty magical sight, and it makes me happy to know that I'm providing these guys with the sustenance they need to pollinate our vegetable crops as well.



Take a listen to the video below. Lots of humming and chirping going on in and around the Cynoglossum!




Thank you as always for joining us. Have a lovely week!
