I’ve been a florist for a long time and I’ve seen a lot of flowers throughout my career.
Every fall, I look forward to the local flower farms’ availability lists. By the end of the season, their crops of Eucalyptus are fully mature- often the cut stems are so tall they barely fit into their large cargo delivery vans.
Their crops of Curly Willow are outstanding too- the twisted stems are supple and have a sumptuous honey brown color.
But the showstoppers truly are their Chrysanthemums.
These outstanding Mums were grown by Carolyn Snell of Snell Family Farm in Buxton, Maine.
