Happy Sunday! I’m celebrating we still have Dahl Happy Sunday! I’m celebrating we still have Dahlias on October 2nd with blueberry cake for breakfast & 2023 Garden Planning. How’s your garden growing? Have you gotten a killing frost yet? 📝😘 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 🍁 #dahlias #maitai #valleytawny #rosetoscano #cosmos #spokaneflowers #flowerstagram #mastergardener #spokanewa #upperleft
Dordogne by my garbage can walkway.. When I found Dordogne by my garbage can walkway.. When I found an unnamed crate of tulips in the garage in late fall, I threw them in there, not even knowing. They look orange right? But there’s a rainbow in her petals, it’s pretty cool. And hard to describe unless you see it in person. I guess that’s why she’s so well known. A French variety whose height tops out at 30”, Dordogne is often Perennial when grown in the West where summers are dry, similar to the Mediterranean where it was bred. Many people ask why their tulips don’t last and my two most important tIps are #1 Buy a Perennial Tulip. Darwin, Emperor & Triumph are dependable perennial varieties. #2 Keep your tulip bed dry & Not* irrigated during its summer dormancy. Summer irrigation & subsequent rot is one of the major things that shorten a tulip bulb’s longevity. #3 If you have problems with squirrels, voles & pocket gophers line your holes with chicken wire. After planting & filling, put another layer of chicken wire on before you apply mulch. The other kind of Tulips, Cut flower tulips, are gems in the garden, but will need replacing every 3-5 years. I plant both Perennial & Cut Flower varieties of Tulips but use perennials for larger plantings. I only want to dig those large trenches once. Happy garden planning & planting friends 🌷 🌷 🌷 If you are needing perennial tulips, there are still 2 varieties left on the Master Gardener Bulb Sale at the moment. Apeldoorn (Darwin) & Purple Flag (Triumph)

Hercules Dahlia inspiring a bouquet from the garde Hercules Dahlia inspiring a bouquet from the garden today. Cut all those blooms before the frost gets them! I posted a bunch more Deer Resistant spring blooming bulbs for the INW on my stories if you need more options. I’m already planning my spring display.
Have you seen the Master Gardener bulb list on the Have you seen the Master Gardener bulb list on their shop site yet? They have 12 deer resistant bulbs, all good for the Inland Northwest this year. Whoot. Gardeners searching for Deer Resistant plants is one of the most common questions the Plant Clinic gets, so I put together this little graphic of some deer resistant bulbs you might want to consider in your own landscape. A number of these are on their list. I couldn't fit all the deer resistant bulbs we can plant in the Inland Northwest in an IG post, (there are more than you think!) But I'll post a few more in my stories. You can always email or call the clinic to receive all the info sheets and lists you need for Deer Resistant Plants too. The Master Gardener bulb sale goes live September 30th. Along with Deer Resistant Bulbs, they have a beautiful selection of Perennial Tulips and Specialty Cut flower tulips too. I put the link in my bio if you want to take a look. Top Row: Fritillaria (Chequered Lily) Tahiti Daffodil, Siberian Squill, Snowdrops (Leucojum) Pin Ball Wizard Allium Bottom Row: Muscari, Barret Browning Daffodil, Camassia, Hyacinth, Chionodoxa ( Glory of the Snow)
Hi there friends. I’ll be giving a talk at Manit Hi there friends. I’ll be giving a talk at Manito this Friday.

All gardeners & all garden questions welcome. We will be hosted by the Associated Garden Clubs of Spokane in the Meeting Room at 10 am. I’ll have info on the MGFSC bulb sale too, with our Bulb List offerings to hand out. Hope to see you in person IG friends! 😊🌷
Thank you for a wonderful season everyone! I hope Thank you for a wonderful season everyone!

I’ll also be posting here on my Instagram about the varieties we’ll have this year. I’ve dedicated my time to helping the wonderful non-profit MG Foundation put on a large scale Bulb Sale this year and *will not* be selling any Prairie Sky Farm bulbs as I have in years past ( for all those who have been asking) It’s the best of both worlds for our community because #1 You & many other Spokaneites get the cheapest prices possible on bulbs arriving directly from Holland #2 Proceeds go directly back into our community for kids programs, Horticulture programs, Environmental programs, & keeping our city green & healthy👏🏼 Let me know if I can help you figure out the best bulbs for your landscape or cutting garden. 💕 Ps ‘Amazing Grace’ double peony tulip is available in the MGFSC shop this year!
Floating Dahlias? If you take a picture on a glass Floating Dahlias? If you take a picture on a glass table you can create an awesome optical illusion 😂. These Dahlias, Asters & Cosmos from the garden are bringing me joy every morning. Dahlia Varieties are Mai Tai, Robin Hood, Rose Toscano, Palmares, Valley Tawney, Rock Run Ashley, Fidaldgo Julie and my new fav this year Midnight Silence. Subscription Bouquets will be delivered tomorrow between 1pm-6pm. My sidekick in floral life & surviving through difficult times as a small business owner, Sabrina at @a_town_country_floral will be bringing a significant amount of magic to your porch Flowers. ✨✨✨Thank you for all you do. Give Sabrina a follow. This weekend she’s also playing a grand part of celebrating the life of Spokane’s most well known & loved Floral pioneer Bob. As the late owner of the iconic Sunset Floral, his passion & caring will be greatly missed. Florists hold together so much of our society’s great traditions. From births to deaths to romance & marriages , demonstrations of love for moms, dads, friends & co workers to the joyous occasions and solemn remembrances, their expertise is greatly under appreciated. I don’t know where we would be without them. ❤️
