Women's Day Freesia Tsunami

Today is March 8th, so you know what that means....
 

To celebrate here on the farm, we'll be giving a mix of Sun Valley's finest flowers to all our female team members.  These valuable women help make the world of color a reality day after day.



One of the fine flowers included in these Women's Day bouquets is the beautiful and fragrant freesia.  A note about growing freesia--the soil is kept warm for healthy stem development, then for the moment(s) of truth, the soil is cooled so that the freesia can "set bud" (aka, begin producing its beloved flowers). 
That moment is now.  While the rest of the country is experiencing winter storms, our own Oxnard farm is experiencing a freesia tsunami, and it is beautiful!







Freesia are particularly fitting for Women's Day--a classically styled flower that performs well under pressure, with a lovely scent, and long vase life.

We'll be following the day's activities closely, sharing the good stuff and posting our own, so stay tuned @LilySunvalley on social media to see how women are being celebrated all over the world, all day long.  Follow more Women's Day happenings (and share your own) with the social media hashtags below:
