Tall, vibrant and reaching for the sky, hollyhocks stand like living pillars of color, turning the garden into radiant celebration of life. May you always grow tall, bloom bright and stand strong in your own beauty. 💐

Our rose for today is "Arcadia Louisiana Tea", a found rose. A very lovely find, and unlike any Tea rose we know; large globular blooms with reflexing petals; soft amber-pink infused with peach and pale yellow, strongly Tea-scented.

Cockskomb Flower Plant

17/06/2026

Lilac season is wrapping up right now and the two to three weeks immediately after the blooms fade is the single most important pruning window of the entire year. Lilacs bloom on last year's wood, which means the plant is already forming next spring's flower buds right now, in the weeks after this year's flowers fade. Prune too late and you are removing next year's blooms before they ever have a chance. There is also something surprising in the comments about what cutting the flowers for bouquets does for next year's display that most lilac growers have completely backwards. All of it is linked below.
