Lavender Awakening….Fresh Flowers
The 2008 harvest of the English Lavender (angustifolia) should begin in three weeks or so. Harvest will be a little later this year due to the cold and wet winter on Whidbey Island.
The first fresh flower offered will be Twickle Purple, a medium length, (12-14″ stem) dark blue variety. This will be followed by several longer stemmed Lavandin varieties: Grosso, a versatile blue flower; Alba, a very unique white flowering lavender that works great in a floral arrangement; and an even longer stemmed blue lavender named Super. The season is short… only 8-9 days for each variety. Flowers ordered by 12PM PDT will be sent by 4PM that day. All flowers are picked fresh each morning and are all certified Organic. Each bunch will include 125-150 stems. Look for our on-line Lavender Festival beginning in July!
Later in August we will have completed drying the flowers and will begin making our signature wreaths and bouquets.
Our organic oil and floral water are soon to be added to the web site.
We are busy weeding. The lavender was sleeping but not the weeds.

I clicked on the “RSS” link in the right hand sidebar. Then I have the option to save the feed using live bookmarks (which I do) or another format. I’m sure there are better/ easier ways to keep track of feeds. This is just what I do.
