Take time to smell the flowers


Last fall we planted 1,000 daffodil bulbs between the fruit trees in our new orchard. The plan was to offer them for sale to Village Flower Basket in Granville, Oh. It's now spring, the daffodils are blooming and we're cutting them daily for delivery to the florist. We learned that counter to our desire to present the florist with a big bouquet of beautiful flowers, for their purposes they need to receive the flowers tightly budded (closed). I must admit that it's much less of an impact when you show up with a bouquet of tightly closed flowers so I've included pictures of what they look like when they're open.

Should you need daffodils for a special occasion or just to celebrate spring, please contact us for quantities and pricing--hurry, the season will be over before you know it!




These flowers are ready for the florist.
