Flowers from the farm
Oh, peony season! You are so good to us, yet so short lived! Every year for about 4-6 weeks every late spring all us girls go crazy for peonies! Who’s with me here? Not far from where I live, outside Vancouver. There is an amazing flower farm Flowers From a Country Garden, in Langley that Troy took me to for the first time three years ago for my birthday. It was seriously magical, just think a whole farm of just flowers! We had missed peony season that year by a couple weeks, so of course I was determined to come back the following here to experience the most gorgeous grown peonies around!
You might remember my post “A Trip to the Peony Farm” , with little Liam from a couple years ago. That being said it’s not just peonies! Think clematis, roses, hydrangeas, delphiniums and many more that I wouldn’t be able to name! So depending on the week you go there is always something in bloom! It’s a bit of a drive into the country from Vancouver, but so worth it!
This year it’s been super warm in the Vancouver area and peony season arrived 2 weeks earlier, so the hustle to the flower farm caught us by pleasant surprise. I’m told that there is probably only a couple weeks left to get fresh cut peonies. That last for well over a week in your home, with the biggest blooms I might add. If you’re looking for something to do this long weekend or have any spare time in the next couple weeks I totally recommend going for a drive into the country and picking up some gorgeous blooms!
Gorgeous pictures Monika! just looking at flowers-pics make my day, so feeling of walking in a flower farm must be magical! your look is so apt and lovely for such a beautiful day 🙂
Beautiful photo’s, as always.. LOVE LOVE LOVE the farm and Judy.. I make a trip out every week starting the week the farm opens for fresh picked blooms.. Of course peonies are my ultimate favourite however as you mentioned Judy has fresh cuts of a delightful varieties of flowers all spring/summer long.. It’s ALWAYS worth the trip..:)
So amazing right? That reminds me… I might need to go again this week before all the peonies are gone!
Gorgeous pictures!! I too love peonies! However when I was growing up in Southwest Montana, I didn’t really understand how lucky I was. I had peonies growing right outside my bedroom window. We had them every summer. They were white and the light shade of pink. We would cut them and bring them in, but ours always had ants in them so hard to enjoy when they brought ants in the house. Now, living in Texas where the climate is much to warm to grow them, I look back and wish I had fully appreciated what I had. Love your blog!!
Love that, thanks for sharing Jennifer! I hope I’m able to grow some in my yard!
