Flower Picking

 Emily suggested we go to a local farm that offers flower picking - the kinds that dry well - so we can dry our own for wreath making in November.  This was a first visit to this farm for me.


Rows and rose of statice in varying colors, globe amaranth, straw flowers and others I didn't know names for.


I had my basket weighed empty since the flowers were sold by the pound.  This is just shy of 2 pounds.





I came home with a white pumpkin too.


Emily spied this sign.  It's the same company featured in the large sign in our barn rec room advertising cream separators.


When I got home I put rubber bands on the stalks and hung the flowers to dry in the garden room of the barn.

  6. Looks like you will have a good supply of dried flowers for wreath making, Marcia. On our anniversary road trip in NH we passed a place where folks were apparently picking flowers and perhaps it was this one.
