Valentine’s Day Flowers

*Local Flowers in February?*
*yesssssssssssssssss…*

While I don’t have flowers growing in my plots this time of year, I have a few cards up my sleeve to get you flowers that #grownnotflown.

I have a network of Maryland and Virginia Greenhouse growers that supply me with an assortment of blooms even in the worst of winter. One of my favorites is M and M Plants where Mark and Madgie have little oasis in Comus Maryland. In addition there are several East Coast greenhouses that keep us in a steady supply of tulips, anemones, stock, snapdragons and more.

Here’s what I can bring you:

Here’s a little gallery of Valentines Day flowers that went out the door in past years. Every arrangement is One Of A Kind and not ever something you’d find at a grocery store - not by a mile.

Let’s use the Language of Love to give us une idée on sizes and prices:

Bisous (French for “kiss”) - petite vase arrangement of American grown flowers starting at $50 (pick up only)

Gros Bisous (French for the even better big fat kisses) - large, round and lush arrangements in ceramic art vase, starting at $85
Coucou (“well, hello!”) - tall, elegant and eclectic in charming glass vases, starting at $65
Cherie - (“sweetheart”) hand-tied bunches wrapped in art paper (pick up only) $35 and up
Le Coup de Foudre (“love at first sight”) - large, lush, delux and delish vase arrangements starting at $125 and up. In unique containers and vintage vessels with unexpected botanical elements.
Delivery in Takoma Park is free, elsewhere in DC and downcounty MoCo, with a $18 fee and a $65 minimum
Just click on the letter icon below to send me an email and we’ll get this whole heart shaped ball rolling

Un Coup de Foudre, in the wild. I love making large and lush arrangement designed meant to knock off socks

About ROSES…

Do you want roses? (really, do you?), well - I can’t help with that. Roses are flown in from all over the globe. It’s not that I don’t love roses, it’s just, to me, tragic the way they’ve been factory farmed to ensure a bland sameness and, worse still, had the scent bred out of them in order to survive in the cargo hold of the truck or air plane. They are iconic, I get that, but if you want something with a smaller carbon foot print and a lot more creativity, something with a scent or without the yards of plastic (why do they do that?!), well then my friends, I’ve got you covered.
