Garden Flowers and Butterflies Tallahassee Florist

If I am not decorating and setting up weddings on the weekends I am in the garden. Plant weeding and watering. This time of year is so humid. One step outside and I am drenched with sweat. Yet, I love being out side. This weekend the butterflies were every where. Lots of swallowtails , Fritillary and the zebras. I was also treated by a hummingbird as he quickly flew when I approached the zinna bed. He lit on a near by branch.

What is a girl to do except fetch her camera and take pictures. (foggy lens and all)








 My lens was still a little fogged up when I took this photo .... this is a hummingbird moth

I believe this dragonfly is a Halloween Pennant - Celithemis eponina     

New bloomers in the cut flower garden.

While its still and warm 
While humid air I breath 
Flowers!
Nothing better to conceive

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.
