Today at the farm, we picked flowers for an event tonight, for a local restaurant, and one bouquet just for the heck of it. Because I can. 
Here’s a close-up: Two types of hydrangea, Incrediball and Invincibelle Spirit, Chocolate Cosmos, Green Trick Dianthus, buplereum and obedient plant.
And these three beauties picked a gallon jug of beauties for $15. 
It was a wonderful morning to pick flowers, not too hot, but full of sunshine. Plan a trip out soon!

Lots of colors to mix and match. Hope to see you here at the farm!
