Good Lifestyle

You can make your house as luxurious as you want, but nothing will be as beautiful as the natural decoration that plants provide, especially the flowers. Florists have the privilege of carefully arranging the gifts of nature in different ways, with their imagination.

Erin Benzakein directs a flower farm called Floret Flowers with her family at Skagit Valley, Washington. In 2001, Erin and her husband moved to the valley, which is one hour north of Seattle. They did it to find a simpler and more peaceful lifestyle in which it was possible to raise their children.

Erin spent most of her's childhood in her home of her greatness in the field, which is where she developed her love for nature. She decided to go back to her roots with her children. Many people who live in the city is considering doing the same. There is something meditative to be surrounded by nature.

It started with a small back garden before Floret exploded in a teaching farm and a seed company. Then, some strangers began to ask Benzakein to order flowers, although she never intended to sell them. When she sold her first bouquet, her client cried while she reminded her about her askers of her childhood.

Seeing how a floral arrangement could bring such emotions and connect two people who did not know each other made Erin I would like to follow this career. The next year, she replaced all the vegetables of her with flowers of her, and did the same with the garden.

In the website of it there are many guides and cultivation resources for those who are learning about the flowers. They also have a huge international network of growers so you can find beautiful flowers regardless of where you live.

Although it is about creating a dream vibes, Floret is all science and research. They spend hours and hours testing different tests to develop the best of flowers, with first class stems, aroma and other qualities that make you feel like you are in the secret garden.

After his first book, to Year in Flowers, was a great success in the New York Times and beyond, the second book, to Year in Flowers: Designing Gorgeous Arrangements for Every Season, was the continuation, including magnificent photographs and techniques Design for different seasonal arrangements. Now, they are working on a new one dedicated to the Dalias.

Now that we know the transforming story behind this epic farm of flowers, we enter some of the mental arrangements that seem to be transported to a different planet.

These magnificent pastel zinias were created with the aim of developing different varieties in all colors and shapes. We would say she is doing an impeccable job!

Would not you like to wake up with this every morning? This is a Dalias breeding area, and these little ones are huge. The secret of his enormous size? According to the legend, good land, and a lot of love.

If the red roses are not yours, you will faint by these roses of brown tone and honey with caramel. We are obsessed with the name, the color, and the perfect deployment of petals that take these roses. We ask ourselves what they smell ...

We love the photos that Benzakeins show us, this is a rainbow of sweet chikaros, which shows us a magnificent range of petals, from the burning orange to the charming lavender. Can we ask for a wall from this instead of a false brick wall paper in our living room?

These zinies are usually easy to grow, but Erin wanted to work on the cultivation of varieties that are generally difficult to grow for gardeners, such as butter cream, raspberry, chocolate, soft peach and champagne. We can find most of those colors in that bouquet.

Although you do not like yellow, it is difficult not to obsess this bouquet of golden tones, or as Erin says, "the first load on the arm of the season". Is it how a hug would be a hug? Those little ones with the orange centers are our true love, but we are not sure what they are called. We will leave that to the professionals of the flowers.
