Welcome to our Botanical Diary, following along with the growing season at Frayed Knot Farm. |
These beauties from my farm were given to me from my grandmother and are part of my collection of growing heirlooms.
New ones pop up every year and can grow just from the root mass. They have a deep root structure that helps to break up soil while also acting as a nice ground cover.
It's rare to see such a vibrant blue in flowers, and in nature altogether, so these are especially treasured.
-Em Pek, Frayed Knot Farms
Originated from Europe, most often found in meadows and open woodland. The name, Bachelor's Button, is thought to come from Victorian times when flowers were placed in the button holes of men's suitcoats.

LORD GORING: I am the only person of the smallest importance in London at present who wears a buttonhole.
PHIPPS: Yes, my lord, I have observed that.
LORD GORING: You see, Phipps, fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
From An Ideal Husband (1895), by noted boutonniere wearer Oscar Wilde
I keep these bouquets low, and focus on the volume that the blooms bring.
More is more is more here.
Like little fireworks! I love the riotous puff of color.
