This morning I woke with thoughts of this year’s flower garden to be. Perhaps it was the image of these strawflowers last night before I went to bed. The apricot to orange hues of the flowers transported my thoughts to warmer days ahead, and set my creative mind in motion.
I “caved”.
On the way to 34th street are Strawflowers. . . Apricot Mix via Floret Flower Farm .
I visualize them dried and tucked here and there around the house for late Summer into Fall house dressing. They can be gift embellishments. Gosh . . . lovely strung onto natural twine.
Teaches me.
How to Grow
Start seed indoors in trays 6 weeks before last frost. Seed requires light to germinate so do not cover. Bottom water until seedlings emerge. Transplant out after all danger of frost has passed.
6 weeks before the last frost . . . a reminder we are nearly half way to the next season.
Feelin’ warmer already.
