Beware!

Found this unusual caterpillar on a hosta leaf in the pergola. Apparently, it is most likely a Flannel Moth Caterpillar (an entomologist agrees) and has traveled much further north of it's normal range. Although it looks soft enough to pet, touching it can cause very severe reactions in humans. A good reminder to ourselves, fellow gardeners and curious kiddos to be respectful of the insect world. Please share.

A New Discovery!

Have always loved the Cobweb Sempervivum's ability to spin it's own web.

Just discovered the blooms are pretty amazing, too!

Blooming Beauties!

More blooming beauties! Have a great weekend!

Welcome!

It all starts with a seed! Welcome to our blog! TLC Country Floral is nestled on the Nebraska prairie between Fremont and Hooper. We grow and dry flowers harvested from gardens located on our property. We use many methods to dry flowers including air drying and freeze drying. The beautiful blooms harvested from our gardens are used to create stunning arrangements in traditional, vintage and contemporary containers. Others adorn wreaths and swags. Our extensively landscaped property includes a potting shed, gazebo, granite patio, rose garden, pergola and cutting garden. Our landscape includes over 100 container gardens that showcase the unique and unusual plants we sell in our greenhouse. Each year we hold two to three scheduled open houses. During the growing season we host shop and garden tours by appointment. We invite you to follow our blog as we share decorating and design ideas for your home and garden. We will show you what’s blooming behind our garden gate and share with you how to grow it in your own garden. We will show you the new designs and treasures available in the shop and give you ideas about adding life and texture to your home with the use of flowers. You may even see a familiar face on our blog when we post pictures of some of our summer visitors. Thanks for sharing this amazing journey with us! It really does all start with a seed!
