The Flower Paddock

Over the past week, we have been on a quest to create very festive, non-tacky, “no-red-Carnation-to-be-found,” 4th of July flowers. YES!! It really IS possible!
🤭🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🧨

But, not gonna lie-the RED actually presented quite the challenge for us! It’s not a color we normally grow a ton of. In anticipation of the 250 Celebration-We had planted 40 Scarlett Red Zinnia plants, but only 10 are currently blooming, and all of those are on short stems (could someone have forgotten to pinch the Zinnia patch?!🤭)

So! Here are the flowers we came up with for each of the “required” July 4th ❤️🤍💙elements - as well as, the greenery and “other” accents we incorporated into our bouquets at the stand this week! We hope it helps you out with your own designs!

❤️Red - Red Charm Peonies, Red and Burgandy Snapdragons, Red Alstroemeria, Benary Scarlett Zinnias, Yarrow, and beautiful Red Freedom Roses (thanks! @billdoran_albany )

🤍White - Feverfew, Snapdragons, Nigella, Statice, Duchesse de Nemour Peonies, Larkspur, Orlaya, Agapanthus, White Hydrangea, Yarrow, White Sweet Peas, Veronica, Campanula and Iris

💙Blue - Nigella, Statice, Delphinium, Blue-Lav Sweet Peas, Blue Hydrangea, Veronica and Iris

🇺🇸Other - Dragon Cress, Bupleurum, Apple Mint and Sunflowers

Wishing Everyone A Wonderful & Safe Holiday Weekend!!😎🇺🇸
