Here's a message from our friends @ Red Chimney Farm (flowers): The temps
are being a little more kind this week staying under 90 degrees, and I have
some lovely flowers blooming right now. This week we will feature
lisianthus in various shades of purple, pink and white, calla lilies, “Big
Ben” hydrangea paniculata, green hydrangeas, zinnia bouquets with mountain
mint, ageratum, and rudbeckias, gladioli, dianthus, grasses, and anything
else that looks good out in the field.

Hope to see all of you tomorrow who aren’t on wonderful vacations to exotic
destinations. Bring the summer colors inside with a beautiful bouquet.

Suzanne, Red Chimney Farm
