A Country Rose Tallahassee Florist

Flowers are one of my most favorite things. I love to smell them, touch them, cut them, and arrange them and even grow them. Locally grown cut flowers. The farm is locate just south of Tallahassee, FL in Wakulla, near the beautiful Wakulla River. I hope you will enjoy a walk through the cut flower garden. Fresh cut zinna's add to any arrangement. They have a vase life of 5-7 days and come in an array of colors. Wildflowers too!

I remember when almost every women wore an orchid corsage to church on Easter Sunday and it only came from the local Florist. No grocery store chain and there was no Walmart.
