After hitting the Moscow market on Saturday morning, Danielle and I drove back out to the flower farm for another visit with Jane. This visit was more business though and Jane was kind enough to walk through her flowers answering my questions as I feverishly took notes and Danielle photographed varieties to go with my notes.
I'm pretty sure that in an hour with Jane, I left with more applicable cut flower information than I took home from a three day conference a few years ago put on by the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers. Jane passed on and inspired some ideas that have me really excited about next year's growing season. She also passed on a blog link that I have fallen in love with so I thought I'd pass it on for my fellow flower enthusiasts as well. Erin Benzakein writes the cut flower section in the publication Growing for Market and blogs at Floret Flower Farm.
Here are a few of the flower pictures Danielle took while Jane and I visited. I guess I'll have to settle for pictures till next year...
