Love Lies Bleeding: Hope’s Edge Flowers
Today is Friday, and on Friday’s I got out to Hope’s Edge, our CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) farm, to pick up our food. I take a Mason jar and a pair of scissors along with me and cut a bouquet of flowers from the three long rows of flowers Farmer Tom plants for us each year. I can fill the jar with water so the flowers don’t wilt hopelessly on the way home.
How pretty is this view? Not even Hurricane Irene diminished this view.
Each week the selection of flowers changes as different varieties come into their own.
Here’s a bouquet from a few weeks ago. Outrageous, huh?
That amazing dark pink draping “flower” is called Love Lies Bleeding.
Here’s last week’s bouquet:
And, here’s a picture John took on a recent visit that I really like:
Hope’s Edge folks are hard-working folks who raise the most amazing food for us to eat! We are so blessed!
I wish for you a CSA program like Hope’s Edge.
