If I had to recommend only one flower to a home gardener, it would be zinnias.

Never was there a flower that wanted to grow and bloom as much as a zinnia does. Easy to start from seed, can cut loads of flowers from each plant, and loves a hot Missouri summer. It’s a no brainer for real!

My favorite varieties (in this order!) are: Queeny series, Floret, Benary’s Giants, and Oklahoma. There are a ton of color within in those, so find what you like! Check out Johnnys Select Seeds website to get a good look.

I know this is crazy to post in August but I couldn’t wait a minute longer!!!

Save the Date: Friday, November 20th for 2026 wreath season!

Big changes are coming and I think you are going to LOVE THEM. Think: less time, more fun, and equally gorgeous and unique wreaths! 💃

More info to come, but alert the group chat that yall are BOOKED that night.

I planted this little container plant years ago, I think pre-Covid even. Little did I know, it’d eventually grow to over 5 feet tall!

Now every August they grow up and out over my sidewalk and we walk into the grass to avoid disrupting them.

But they aren’t a bother. Quite the opposite. They are a “good morning” face full of flowers every morning as I head out for work. The sunrise shining through behind them is an added bonus. 💛

Appreciation post for hydrangeas, because… *sigh* … how are they even real?! 🤍

I’ve been a little MIA lately and that’s because we spent last week in Utah!

We staked out in Moab and headed off to Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, Dead Horse Point SP, Goblin Valley SP, and Hell’s Revenge in the Sand Flats Recreation Area.

It was a beautiful part of the country that I’ve never been to. We had 23 people in our group and I loved seeing all the kids having fun together in Mother Nature’s playground.

The consensus agreed that Goblin Valley and the Little Wild Horse slot canyon were the highlights. Plus the permit-required Fiery Furnace unmarked trail for those of us who didn’t have to fly out early Friday. 🙌🏼

Until next time, Utah… *sigh* 🧡

Psst… someone on Rudy Lane is the big 4️⃣0️⃣ today!

Obviously, it ain’t me, because I’m forever 29. 💁🏻‍♀️

But in all seriousness, join me in wishing Layne a great big happy birthday! He’s the brawn around here and I absolutely could not do it without him. 🧡

Flower Camp 2026 🌼

A bunch of the ladies of the Missouri Flower Exchange, our wholesale flower cooperative, convened in Columbia for a day of fun, and, of course, flowers!

We shared our knowledge, commiserated about farming in July (iykyk), and got creative making a flower flatlay.

It was a perfect way to recharge before the busy Fall flower season ramps up soon!

I cut a bucket full of flowers for a special little event today. Jordy’s daycare planned a morning of flower arranging and beauty shop followed by a fancy tea party (aka: lemonade party lol)! 🫖

They sent me so many pictures of cutie kiddos proudly smiling with their bouquets. 😍

Grateful for someone who plans such a fun summer for my girl and the other children! 💗
