It's all about the container--inspiration hit just as I was throwing this tin out. It was the perfect compliment to the recipe book I was making for a bridal shower. Reduce. Reuse. Re-purpose. Recycle.
Another big week with loads of flowers going out to make lots of people happy.  New this week fuchsia plume celosia, second wave delphinium, highland millet, foxtail millet, tapestry millet, ornamental oregano and zinnias!!
We have a new crop of sunflowers, dark centered, mini suns and some green centered suns.  We have gorgeous new variety of zinnia--raspberry, a deep red-violet, somewhere between red and burgundy scabiosa.  (See photo below.)
If you follow bindweedfarm on instagram you will have seen the photo of the nigella pod with the top snipped off.  We have my sweet friend, Polly of Robin Hollow Farm, to thank for that inspiration.  Unfortunately we are down to the last bucket of pods. 
Please consult your email and faxes for current availability and have a gorgeous sunny weekend.

Bouquet celebrating wine and lavender. "Annabelle" hydrangea, wine and lavender sweet peas, diablo, foxglove, clematis recta, viburnum berry, veronica, salvia and annual scabiosa.
Buongiorno!  There are some beautiful flowers for this week, newly blooming and new to Bindweed.  If you are lucky you'll get some Orlaya, pictured below.  It is a short flower but has a big impact, only 8-10 inches tall it looks like a cross between viburnum "Lace Cap" and a hefty Queen Anne's lace.  Very romantic.  Also new are the nigella pods in lime green and chocolate burgundy.  We have grown monarda citriordora before but not for some years, RT loves it and so do the humming birds.  It looks like something out of a Dr Seuss book, very whimsical, and smells lemony, hence the nickname "Lemon Beebalm".  Definitely for the adventurous designer.

New cuts this week are "Green Mist", annual scabiosa, chocolate Susans, celosia and talinum, each are pictured below.  We are nearing the end of the second cut of Clematis Recta, monarda and cosmos.  The last crop of sweetpeas are spectacular--big hearty stems and flowers with a more ruffled appearance, deep rich colors and the unique fragrance.  Don't miss out on these!

Please consult your email and fax availability, the demand is very high (thank you sincerely) and varieties are disappearing almost as fast as I can get them on the list.

Home sweet home, Bindweed Farm
A few new flowers at Bindweed available this week:  double ruffle green-centered suns, mini-sunflowers, mini-lilies, a new orange lily, nigella pods and white salvia.  The mini-suns are about the size of a large scabiosa on long stems with a yellow-green face.  Double ruffle green suns are large with multiple layers of tiny petals surrounding a dimpled green center.  The mini-lilies are much smaller, about half the size of an Asiatic, bright yellow with a wine freckled center .  We also have a new orange Asiatic lily, deep melon orange also with a wine freckled center.  Just as we harvested the last nigella flowers the nigella pods were forming.  The pods are a deep chocolate to maroon.  We have grown blue salvia for a few years and would occasionally find a white flowered plant, it was love at first sight!  The heads looks like velvet white grape hyacinths, just gorgeous.

New flowers for this week:  Blackeyed Susans, clarkia, cloud larkspur, foxglove, lavender, white phlox and verbena.  The lavender and floxglove are on the short side this year, strange weather swings, but they are lovely.

The clematis recta and clematis integrifolia are re-blooming and we just started cutting the third crop of sweet peas.  They are a summer variety with thicker, stronger, shorter stems--a sturdier, stockier variety for the heat of summer.  What they lack in stem length they make up for with their slightly ruffled petals.  RT could not discern the difference but Sam and I (we cut the majority of sweet peas) were struck immediately by their unique structure.  We love them.

Well this is odd--I am creating a post and the week is all but over.  Fourth of July week and the following week, are always big weeks for us and if I am busy filling orders, I know you are too!!  But seriously this week totally got ahead of me, flowers were selling out faster than I could post their availability.  Thank you, we really do appreciate you and LOVE to sell flowers.  I am only writing this for next year so that when planning ahead you might have some idea of what was available.

Sunflowers. RT has planted a ton of sunnies and they are blooming now. We planted in succession so we hope to have sunflowers available each week until it freezes here.
Apologies first, I am really late with this week's post--sorry to Sun Valley as your orders are in and we are practically out the door.  But, for future reference and for the rest of the week here is a very abbreviated entry for the week.  Please check your fax and email for the most  current availability--we will probably be sending out a new list tomorrow for the Jackson area, things are going so fast.  Thank you, thank you for your fabulous orders!

PictureAustin's "Charles Darwin" garden rose
Everything on this farm is just gorgeous right now.  The availability list has overflowed onto two pages, just barely, and the cooler is full! 
The roses are at their July peak and the sunflowers, yep, SUNFLOWERS are blooming.
Bindweed roses are a mix of David Austin roses in shades from ivory, champagne, light apricot to peach.  We have several different varieties in bloom just now.  The "Darwin" rose is my favorite--heavenly rose fragrance, blooms vary from ivory to apricot.  TDF

I am absolutely ga-ga over the cloud larkspur--we have monster bunches in blue violet, lavender and white.  The lavender just kills me.  This shade is so slightly lavender it shimmers and would be stunning with sterling and mercury glass.

I am also thrilled with our new lavender and wine sweet peas.  The third crop of sweet peas is just coming on now and we have two shades of lavender--one very pale lavender and the other is a deeper, bluer shade of lavender.  And then we have a deep wine purple sweet pea and a new pink, soft with a white heart.

Please consult your email and fax for full and current availability and have a beautiful week.
