Succulent’s Bloom

Some succulent varieties bloom in Spring/early Summer. Some grow a long stem and have yellow, pink or purple flowers (depending on the succulent). Others will grow little flowers without a long stem. I think they are beautiful. The bloom lasts 1-2 months with the cute little flowers, but then will dry up. Once dried, just pull off the stem at the base or for those without a stem, prune the dried flowers. Then, wait to see it again next year.

Love Letter from Di

Lovely Di purchased Periwinkle for her urban home in San Francisco, and sent us this lovely note in her beautiful calligraphy-handwriting. We love notes and she even sent us a photo – doesn’t Periwinkle look cozy? Thank you Di and we are happy that one of our arrangements found a great home in Di, Brian and Little J’s home.

Vertical Garden & Assorted Containers

If you’ve been on Pinterest, you’ve probably already seen the image of this vertical garden already (by Flora Grubb Gardens). I’d love to have such an amazing art piece in my future outdoor space one day. But, did you notice the clean and minimalist containers next to the vertical garden. We love how the pots are of varying sizes and shapes, but in the same color family, and contain only 1 type of succulent plant each. Makes it a modern display. Love it!

Patrons that came by our “pop up shop” at the Melrose Trading Post last Sunday asked, “Do you have a store?” I replied, “this is it!” Check out photos from our storefront on July 15.
