Brent's and Becky's and yours

Becky's bouquet

You can grow ‘em. Or you can get Brent and Becky to do it for you.

Brent and Becky of bulb fame also produce bouquets.

From March 15 to Oct. 15, you can order fresh, farm-raised (sounds like beef) mixed bouquets. (I am guessing that this is Becky with the bouquet. And I am also guessing you don't get that many flowers.)

You never know what will be in bloom when your order, but let them know whether you like pastels, hot colors or patriotic colors. “If there is a color you just can’t abide, we’d like to know that, too,” says the catalog.

These aren’t greenhouse flowers and that means the weather can be a problem, but either Brent or Becky will call you.

In any case, the flowers are shipped overnight, so give an address where someone will be available to bring them inside.

You can order the flowers witha vase or without for $60 and $75, respectively. Check out their Web site and go to item numbers 103-01 and 103-02.

Yeah. It looks like 5 or 6 elastic bands under her arm. The website says that, "When the stems are bound together, you will have a BIG hand full of flower stems! (AT LEAST the circumference of a baseball)."

Still seems like a nice idea.

Brent and Becky's is my favorite bulb company. Nice catalog, fantastic website and friendly customer service. I'm sure the cut flowers are beautiful, but pretty pricey! (I suppose the overnight shipping is costly)

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
