Wild Flowers & Spring Time Tallahassee Florist A Country Rose

Spring is in the air. This is the best time of the year. The air is crisp and fragrant and it reminds me of why I love flowers. The azaleas and dogwood are blooming now and everything is turning that crisp new shade of green as all the brown from winter fades away. I am always inspired by nature and its inherent beauty is so wonderfully display in a heavenly formation. I am constantly surrounded by flowers on daily base, and yet when I see all the colors of spring, like the wild flowers and grasses, it takes me back to childhood and I want to stop and pick a me bouquet. Which I do on occasion.

Beautiful dogwoods against a clear blue sky.... Thank you Inga Finch

As I was writing this blog I decided to go out into my yard to see what I could find for a fresh picked wild flower bouquet. As I cut I just clutch them in my hand like a hand tied bouquet. Then I cut the stems even and dropped them into old tin can. 
 
I could call this my A Country Rose weed bouquet. :)
The small green filler is pepper grass. The red spike flower is Coral Bean. The purple is Lyre-leaved Sage. Also in the bouquet are the new growths of a young pine tree and a few other identified beauties. 

See what else I found. 
This is a blue common violet. I always called it a wild violet.

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.
