Darling Local Peony Lovers:
🌺I am crafting one of a kind personal mixed bouquets (for pick up) with my abundance of peonies and garden charms and treasures. I am enjoying a little more energy, but can only do so many at a time.

🌺I could even accommodate a wedding or two this year. (Peony only/bucket order)

🌺Peonies are $5/stem please call me 8-2121 Or msg me with your stem order and I will add you to the roster.

🌺$25 minimum order pls. I'll give you a day to come pick up.

🌺FYI Peony stems are wrapped and packed and will be only beginning to open when you receive them. Long Vase life.

Thank you for loving me so much, and all your support. I love you all. Be well dear souls.

Come away with me, Climb up onto Raven's back as we journey to the edge of the earth, to dawn, to find, White Carnation.

"Child, you have come seeking your heart's desire. But you already have that which you seek. You already know the name you shall give yourself.

Here, in my white tower, I watch over you as the sun rises. At dawn, this is when the dew is the sweetest. This is when you shall cast out your net of dreams and catch the stars before they twinkle their last until morrows nigh.

Look in the east, towards those who will come thereafter. See their faces? Joyous and lighted. This is your proof child that you will succeed. You will know the sweet aroma of love, as I do from the petals of my head. You shall name yourself. And when you do, you will rise-up. And those from the east and from the west will cry out and bless you with the white carnation. Your name is light.

Go now child and remind the world that rainbows of light will soon appear. And they will leave the fragrance of joy in their wake. And you will be guided by them to love in joy and harmony together.

Rest now child. Rest with white carnation in your hands and on your breast. For she brings healing of indigo for your cells. Like feather of a bird, my petals are many, with the same purpose, to help you fly.
Rest in the fragrance of my sweet breath upon you. For here you shall find solace. Here you will be healed."

-Melanie Dawn, The Silver Sage

Lillies are headed into my first ever lily perfume. A slow gorgeous process of capturing the delicate fragrant oils of the lily, over 30 days, I am infusing oils with fresh lilies. To the end of another 3 month process of separating the absolute lily oil from the carrier to be left with an Absolute Lily Perfume oil. Im indulging in this very sensuous creation over this full moon, infusing my intentions from the quantum into this very special experimental perfume. . My house is wafting the scent of lilies in and out with each breath, and its absolutely intoxicating.

Oh my gosh you guys. I forgot to post here today about my massive tree peony blooms. I am much more active on Instagram if you wish to follow me there! None the less. Look at these blooms. Peonies are just the most incredible flowers ....like how does each smallish bud turn into fethers and feathers of petals the size of ur head?! Magic baby. Its called magic. And I love it.
We have officially started peony season today with Buckeye Belle and Coral sunset out of the gate. I gathered my friend a little bouquet today while I checked on all the flowers. I love love the abundance of blooms in the garden for special moments like this.
Ill be arranging some bouquets in coming weeks of peonies for yall at the New Market Foods in New Denver.
In the meantime Im loving this cool weather as much as the flowers are. Ive been fully enjoying the abundance of the season and taking my sweet time ebbing and flowing thru the gardens. Tidying, weeding, napping and picking flowers. What a beautiful start to summer we have had.

Well I think its really safe to say...its going to be a very magical year up here on the farm. Flowers are tucked in and dare I say growing....under our +5°c weather conditions!
While we wait for peonies and lavender. We are busy eating flowers and foraging for some beautiful local fauna to nourish our family and yours.
The still will start steaming this weekend with some of our favorite skin loving herbs to replenish our hydrosol mists as we build on the Floraromatherapy side of our company.
But while the rain keeps our outdoor efforts at bay. We are indoors preparing floral gellies, rhubarb salsa, herbal salts and other culinary treats to eat from our flowers. There is a plethor of nutritional foods right in our back yards. You dont even need a garden to grow them. (Thanx Julia)
This full moon we are cloaked in this thick mystic energy. June fog, songs of gratitude and reverence for this gorgeous life and land we call home. Always flowers. Always romantic.

Its blue time!! Ive been waiting and waiting for a suitable "4 weeks to last frost" date to get my indigo started. I was wanting to direct sow this year but the Mother of Nature has another, likely better plan for my indigo love affair. As always, I plant when I know the time is right. Its a deep wisdom I have cultivated with these lands to hear her spirit. I do follow the lunar calender and ask and sow with great intention for the outcome of all my crops. Who they will bless, what medicine they will bring, and the essence of this very place is all woven into the cellular fiber of every seed I sow. I learnt so much from indigo last season and I am continuing to hone into the spirits of this deep blue magic to create relationship with this ancient world plant. I never choose what will grow in the garden, rather the flowers and herbs choose me. I am always so honored to be a flower doula of sorts when it comes to being a steward of the life cycle of any soul bloom. This year I fully intend to take inward this indigo and digest its medicine for the health of my soul. I look forward to watching it become the All, and be as I am, one together.

....Aaaaaannnnd we're off. This week starts with lunar flower days and marks our official major seed sowing week. Ive been gathering and planting lots of perennials and spring starts for this season and I cant wait to share all the gorg I have planned for this year.
Im most excited to work on one of my perennial beds this season to transform it into a seasonal powerhouse. Ill be stripping this bed back to its bare bones, composting and feeding and working on building a really lush perennial cut and dye garden.
We are going to see so many new varieties of plants this year, including some trials with lillies and cala lillies. The dahlias and glads Ive sourced this season are a cut above and are coming from some really special collections. And dont even get me started on peony season!! With one of our favorite Canadian flower farm suppliers we have been able to secure several stunning new peony roots from Groot and Groot Peonies iin the Netherlands, which will bring our count to about 28 different varieties of peonies well over 300 plants. For us, this a feate in itself. To be growing some of the worlds most sought after peonies in our gardens in little old Three Forks makes me so proud of what we do. In our little micro farm, we have really been able to focus on quality over quantity and are able to work to bring really unique and hard to find plants into our cutting gardens.
We are hopeful to have blooms for Mothers day again this year and and pushing flowers till thanksgiving as long as the frost holds off. 🌬 This is our 5th flower year and its going to be the best one so far. Heres to Canadian Spring and another beautiful flower year!!
