Poppy ‘Mother of Pearl’ – 10 Stems


POPPY CARE INFORMATION: PLEASE READ!

Papaver rhoeas, aka Shirley poppies, have a vase life of up to 5 days if you follow a few tips!  Good vase life starts on the farm – when we harvest, we cut when the poppies are still in bud and strip off excess foliage and buds so water travels up the stem and directly to the main flower. You’ll also notice that the stems have been flame-seared at the bottoms to keep in the poppy’s hydrating milky sap. We recommend you DO NOT re-cut the stems of your poppies! But if you must, you have to re-sear the bottoms of the stems with a flame or with a quick dip in boiling water. If you’re traveling any distance with your poppies, bring some water for them to travel in, and keep your poppies as cool as possible for best vase life. When you receive your poppies, some will probably still be in bud – they usually pop out of their shells on their own, but if they haven’t within a day or two, it’s ok to help them! Gently peel the protective shell off to reveal the little wrinkly poppy inside, and the flower will unfurl within a few hours. What poppies like best is to sit in a cool spot and do their thing – they’re amazing to watch as they unfurl, open, and drop their petals to reveal their beautiful pods. 

Curbside pickup will be at the Tiny Hearts Farm flower shop in Hillsdale, NY, between 11am and 4pm on Friday or Saturday, and the order deadline is 12 noon on Thursday. When you check out, you’ll be asked to choose a pick-up day. We’ll have your pre-ordered flowers ready for you either outside in the parking lot (conditions permitting) or inside our shop if it’s warm or inclement weather.  An attendant will be present to assist you or to bring out your flowers and all interactions will be open air and contact free.  We’re unable to allow customers to enter the flower shop for any reason at this time, and we ask that you keep at least a six foot distance from our staff members and other customers.  Thank you for understanding.

We’ve been inundated with inquiries about flower availability  and are so appreciative of everyone’s interest and grateful for the support! Since we’re just two people running the farm right now (at a time when we would usually be a team of 8!), the farm is demanding nearly all our attention. We won’t be able to respond to special requests or inquiries at this time – thank you for understanding!

These are strictly from one plant nerd to another! These are strictly from one plant nerd to another! Dwarf Iris ‘Katharine Hodgkin,’ forced in tiny pots, are on their way to @tinyheartsflowershop right now. Unusual, hard to find, ephemeral (these will flower quickly and each flower will only last a couple of days)…and also completely charming. Also at the shop are potted hyacinth that bloom huge and amazing, and mixed spring bulb planters (that each have those amazing little checkerboard fritillaria we all go crazy for!) 
Open 10 - 4 today and Saturday!
We are picking gorgeous ‘San Martin’ this week We are picking gorgeous ‘San Martin’ this week. So far this is my favorite new-to-me tulip this season. If you get out very early on the morning of the first fall frost, perfect-looking dahlias are covered in ice crystals and it’s absolutely breathtaking. This is the tulip version (and unlike frosty dahlias it doesn’t turn to brown mush as soon as the sun hits it! 😂) Orchid purple with an outrageous white fringe that looks like ice ❄️❄️❄️ I know the first few bunches are on their way to @morningstarfarmstore this afternoon, and we’ll be bringing some to @tinyheartsflowershop tomorrow morning!
