Iris: Featured Flower of the Month

Featured Flower of the Month

Iris (Fleur-de-lis)

Iris is grown from bulbs and originates from southern Europe and the Mediterranean. They come from the family Iridaceae, which includes Freesias and Gladioli. Under natural conditions, Irises bloom in the spring, but modern technology has allowed growers to produce them year round for florist and consumers to enjoy. Irises come in a range of color, including blue, purple, yellow and white. Unfortunately, Irises have a short vase life of only three to six days. To extend the life of Irises its best to keep them in a cool location away from drafts and excessive heat.

Interesting Facts:
Iris root has been used to treat illnesses, used as a fixative in perfume, keeps beer and wine from going stale, and to flavor brandies, soft drinks, and toothpaste.

Locally Grown; Our Flower Farm | Farm to Florist | Tallahassee, Florida

We haven't really shared much about our cut flower farm but it is time for that to change! We are honored to be able to provide our customers with many locally grown flowers! The owner of A Country Rose , Annette started farming on an acre at her home in Wakulla County about eight years ago. She has since moved herself and her farm to a new location with more space for growth (pun intended). Annette and her husband Ed are the ones who make all the magic happen. The most current tasks around the farm as of the last couple of weeks is a reworking of all the beds. They've been pulling up all the irrigation, laying new rows which includes 100's of tractor loads of compost and mulch then re-laying of black ground cover (to keep weeds at bay), white ground cover (to keep the black from burning the flowers) and then replacement of the irrigation. It's a lot of work but the results will be amazing and below is a sneak peek of what we are harvesting right now.
