9°C Tulips for the WIN!

If you live somewhere with a warmer winter, you may already know that growing tulips can be a little tricky. Tulips need a period of cold in order to develop properly, and our Southern winters don't always cooperate!

That's where 9°C tulips come in.

So, what exactly does 9°C mean?

These tulip bulbs have already received part of their required cooling treatment before they ever arrive at my farm so they already have a head start on their “winter.”

And because my bulbs are stored in my cooler at 9°C (48°F), they continue receiving that cooling treatment while they're here. That means by the time I process and ship your bulbs, they will have received even more cooling than they had when they arrived at my farm. In truth, even the untreated tulip and daffodil bulbs you purchase from me have had a head start on winter because they are all stored in my cooler at 9°C (48°F).
This is especially helpful for those of us gardening in warmer climates where we may not get enough consistent winter cold naturally.

One important thing to know: If you receive 9°C bulbs and aren't ready to plant them immediately, they need to continue being stored cold. A refrigerator is the best option for most home gardeners. Don't put them in a warm garage or closet and let that cooling period stop for weeks before planting.

And honestly, that's one of the things I love about offering 9°C bulbs. You're not starting from zero. We've already taken care of part of that cold treatment for you.

Big-box stores do not offer 9°C pre-cooled tulip bulbs, so if you've struggled with tulips in our warmer climate, these may be just what you need to give them another try.
9°C tulips are available on my website now!

I’ve only provided wedding florals for a handful of weddings, so when my daughter-in-law asked me to design her florals, I was immediately excited and equally nervous. I mean, it’s a bigger deal than usual when it’s family, right?!?!

For her and my son’s wedding, I designed the bridal bouquet, eight bridesmaid bouquets, eleven pocket squares for the groomsmen and fathers, two boutonnieres for the ushers, and four wrist corsages for the moms and grandmothers.

In a concerted effort, her mom, sister, and aunts designed the florals for the ceremony and reception, so I did not have that additional task. One of the things that meant the most to me throughout the entire wedding process was seeing both sides of the family work together and contribute in such meaningful ways. It truly felt like a team effort from beginning to end.

I feel like every bridal bouquet I design, I like better than the last. Perhaps my technique is improving, or perhaps I’m just becoming more comfortable with the process. But maybe this one is my favorite simply because it was so personal. I’ll have a hard time topping this one. I was striving for a garden-esque feel since she was getting married in a field under an oak tree, and I’m happy to say I think I pulled it off.

The wedding destination was three-plus hours away, so there were a lot of logistics that came into play. I intend to write a full blog post on the ins and outs of traveling with flowers for a destination wedding when I have time. (Because apparently, getting the flowers there was its own adventure.)

And somewhere in the middle of all of that—growing some of the flowers, designing the flowers, packing the flowers, traveling with the flowers, and watching my son get married—I realized this wasn’t just another wedding I was designing flowers for.

It was his wedding.

And hers.

And somehow, I got to be a very small part of making it beautiful.

I’m still processing that part.

August. By far the worst flower farming month (and year) of my career but I still managed to have fun.

I have no pictures of me nor the good times I had, though.

Everything (including me) is a work in progress.

Despite annoying you 300+ days out of the year… she’s still your person.

The one you call with good news, bad news, or just to hear a familiar voice.

And somehow, Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away. (I know… how?)

So let’s celebrate the moms, the bonus moms, the grandmothers, and the ones who show up like moms.
Mother’s Day offerings are officially live on the website.

This year’s options include mason jar arrangements (perfect if you’ve got multiple moms to love on) along with a few larger bouquet options.

And for those who need it—Mother’s Day isn’t easy for everyone.

If you’re missing your mom or quietly carrying a lot this season, this is your permission to buy yourself the flowers. No reason needed.

Pre-orders are strongly encouraged—once I’m fully booked, that’s it.

Don’t be the “I forgot” text. Order now.

I’ve had to pick and choose my battles this week—and just like with kids and husbands, flowers are no different.

To get all of my dahlia tuber orders out (🎉), something had to give… and for a couple of days, it’s the fresh bouquets.

So, the Petal Porch will be closed briefly while I get every order packed up and on its way.

But don’t worry—once everything ships, we’ll be right back to our regularly scheduled program… and peonies are up next.

Tulip season is winding down, and what a beautiful run it’s been. The field tulips had their moment in the sun, and now we’re savoring the last few varieties of our indoor forced blooms.

One of the final standouts is this creamy little gem. It came in as a substitute for a longtime favorite yellow of mine, and honestly… it surprised me in the best way. It leans more soft cream than yellow, with the prettiest raspberry-kissed edges—reminding me so much of Belicia (truly the gold standard, if you ask me).

If you’re a sucker for those soft, romantic tones with just a hint of drama, this one’s for you. And consider this your gentle nudge—once these last stems are gone, tulip season will officially close its doors for the year.
