Fresh flowers from our Rhode Island flower farm are the perfect gift this Mother’s Day!
Spring is our favorite season here at Millie’s Flower Farm. Of course, we get SO happy when the ground thaws and we can start growing flowers after a long winter. But we also love the opportunity to grow fresh flowers for all the amazing moms out there! It’s so wonderful to meet people in our community, hand over our flowers that were grown with love, and know that they will be given with love!
We thought we’d take the opportunity to tell you about the special blooms that we are growing right now and will harvest just in time for Mother’s Day.
In-Season Fresh Flowers
Here’s a list of the in-season fresh flowers that we currently have growing at Millie’s Flower Farm in RI:
· Zinnias. Zinnias are perennials that are related to the sunflower and daisy. They are sometimes affectionately referred to as 'Pop Art,' 'Green Envy,’ 'Persian Carpet,’ and 'Candy Cane' because they boast the most beautiful colors! Zinnias come in bright colors and pastels, and can be a single color, two colors, or a variety of many colors!
· Snap Dragons. Snap Dragons are fun little flowers that grow along a stalk. They add gorgeous height to any fresh bouquet! Snap Dragons come in a variety of colors and are excellent for adding dimension and volume to Mother’s Day bouquets.
· Dahlias. Dahlias are bushy, tuberous, and herbaceous perennial flowers that typically bloom from mid-summer to fall, but we already have plenty of them! Dahlias blossom in a range of colors and sizes - you can find 2-inch pompoms and massive 15-inch “dinner plants!”
· Delphinium. Delphiniums are another flower that grows along a stalk, like Snap Dragons. These flowers typically come in pastels and darker shades. They make a wonderfully dramatic addition to any bouquet!
· Ranunculus. Ranunculus flowers look almost too pretty to be real! These large, round flowers are grown with lots of petals that almost look like very thin tissue paper. Ranunculus flowers are dramatic, yet elegant – every mother is sure to love a bouquet that includes Ranunculus!
· Anemone. Anemone flowers have medium-sized petals with large, dark centers that give that a uniquely dramatic appearance. These flowers generally come in bright or dark colors, while some Anemones are white. No matter which color you select, they will look beautiful in your Mother’s Day bouquet!
