It’s so hard to say goodbye to ranunculus. Every spring when they bloom it’s like seeing an old friend again. Plus, they are easy on the eyes 😍

Although, it’s bittersweet saying goodbye, I’m also excited to turn these beds over and prep for summer flowers to come. Seeing one cycle complete, and one begin — nature at its finest 🩷💐

I mean, it’s still my hobby too, and it definitely consumes my life. But eating is probably my most favorite hobby of all time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Spring flowers, but make them dramatic 😍

I’m not typically a fan of dark colors for spring flowers, but these Amandine Violet ranunculus have changed my mind. Plus, they pair so well with all the pink ranunculus that I love so much.

I’m curious, what are your thoughts on dark flowers at spring time?

The last of our daffodils, Mammoth Mountain, just bloomed on the farm (cue me crying 🥺).

And now… they’ll start to die back. While, it’s not the prettiest stage, it is ONE of the most important — this is when the foliage feeds the bulb for next year.

If you cut your daffs back too soon, they won’t multiply or come back. Let them die back naturally so they can perennialize (come back year after year) and slowly multiply underground — giving you even more blooms next spring.

Save this — it’s easy to forget 💛

On repeat please…

Juliette ranunculus are pure pink perfection. Large flower heads ranging in shades of blush to bubblegum and every pink in between.

She’ll always have a place in my garden 🩷

Daffodils are beautiful… but they’re a little toxic to their friends 😬

Freshly cut daffodils release a sap that can shorten the vase life of other blooms.

Pro tip: let them condition in their own vase of water for a few hours first, then they can be mixed into bouquets. Just don’t recut the stems afterward, or the sap will start flowing again.

Honestly though, I just skip all this because daffodils are so pretty that they make a perfect standalone bouquet anyway 💛
