Michler's News: Flowers, Gardens & Design
Now Delivering Wine Gift Crates
We are excited to be the first florist in Lexington licensed to sell and deliver wine gift boxes. We now offer a curated collection of wine and champaign that our florist pairs with flowers and plants to create beautiful wooden gift crates.
Spring Ephemerals
April is here right along with our favorite spring ephemeral blooms. Ephemerals pop up to delight us for just a few weeks before vanishing again. A fun way to ring in spring is to head to the trails with the intention of spotting these fleeting woodland wildflowers.
Starting Long Blooming Annuals
Behind the Florist shop here at Michler's, the greenhouses are bustling with the production of new plants that will be blooming in a matter of weeks. A good portion of these are some favorite blooming annuals. After a long winter, the fresh and colorful blooms will be a welcomed invitation into the warmer months.
Easter Lilies (Lilium longiflorum)
Walk into Michler's this week and you won't miss the fragrance of Easter Lilies (also called Trumpet Lilies) drifting though the florist. Easter Lilies with their large snow white flowers mark the arrival of Spring and the celebration of Eastertide.
Spring Daffodils in Bloom
For those looking for something for their Easter table we also sell blooming bulbs including the Tete-e-Tete Daffodil in pots. When the holiday is over and they are done blooming, just plant them out in the yard. They will continue to bloom for many springs to come.
Restorative Gardens with Biophilic Design
Like your home, your garden should a place that you can go to relax and enjoy spending time. Biophilic design is the fusion of functionality and natural landscaping which offers you a fresh, restorative outdoor space. A well-designed garden can be a place to sit alone quietly or a festive spot to share a good meal with friends and family.
Time to Sow Poppy Seeds
One of our favorite varieties here at Michler's is the Bread Seed Poppy, because it has a beautiful purple flower and produced pods full of delicious Poppy seeds. If you ate any of our Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies we sold at the Christmas Market, you ate Poppy seeds from our garden patch photographed above.
Frittilaria: A Spring Flower Favorite
One of the more unusual bulb flower varieties is Frittilaria. Frittilaria varieties range dramatically in size and looks from the small purple Checkered Fritillaria (Fritillaria Meleagris) to the large bright Fritillaria Imperial Orange and the tall deep purple Fritillaria Persica.
Sourcing Local Organic Produce
We recommend Rootbound Farm's CSA because they are certified organic and grow many of our favorite vegetables you see on our rotating seasonal menu including Italian Eggplants (smaller that what you find at the grocery), Lancinato Kale, Red Gold Potatoes, Basil Genovese, and Candy Stripe Beets.
