Double Tulip Colors

Posted by Betsy at Woodbine Flowers in Flowers, Spring

Double tulips don’t behave like the single Easter-egg tulips we all know best. Unlike singles, they expand, change, and preen like birds as they unfold over several days, like a new butterfly expanding and drying its fresh wings. They also change color depending on the weather. The warm late-winter weather surprised ‘Foxy Foxtrot’ – normally…Read more »

farmstand flowers for March 29th – Balm of Gilead

Posted by Betsy at Woodbine Flowers in Flowers, Spring

I remember my first Northwest spring.

Drama and weather

Posted by Betsy at Woodbine Flowers in Flowers, Spring

This is one of the first spring pictures I took when I moved to the farm 5 years ago – flowering branches against a wall of sunset-lit clouds that looked like a rolling forest fire. So, so beautiful! Spring and new flowers will be here again in a few short weeks.

Muddy colors

Posted by Betsy at Woodbine Flowers in Flowers, Spring

Earl Grey larkspur, Mollie Rilestone sweet peas and Rosanne Brown lisianthus are examples of a floral trend of muted, “muddy,” dusty colors. Part of the appeal for me is the aura of “vintage” – Mollie Rilestone’s tea-stained petals even resemble the browned edges of old pages. I thought about this last week when the trailer…Read more »
