This Flower Farmer Is A Sell Out
Our flower farm is still producing thousands of Tulips, and this weeks farmers market is the first test of whether we can still sell out of Tulip bouquets without Mothers Day to create a lot of demand for flowers. This week there is no holiday, it is just a regular weekend, so our Tulips have to sell on their own merit, but don't worry, because once again every bouquet is stunning. This week Serina even goes foraging for greenery to make some larger $40 arrangements, in addition to the more simple $20 Tulip bouquets. There might be a late night as we push hard to maximize sales at our second farmers market of the year. Watch as we push ourselves to bring 50 fresh bouquets down to the market, as well as a nice selection of dried flowers that have been selling really well! This video was a lot of work, so if you enjoy it, let us know down in the comments!

Watching this while I attempt to make a profitable flower farm in stardew valley
I love tulips more now than I did before! How is this possible?! Those dried flower bouquets are great! Maybe it's a good thing that I don't live nearby you guys. I couldn't resist buying a bouquet at least once a month, even on my ridiculously small budget. I love every single one of them, and I still think the purple and white is beyond stunning! Great video, great to watch while I drink my tea and pet Luna.Thanks guys!

Where in BC or Canada can home growers get larger amounts of bulbs? No selling involved. Would love to order more bulbs (or plan to). I hate buying them in 5 or 10 packs.

I honestly have no idea why but I never particularly liked tulips before... 🌷 *Love all the flowers now* 🌱💕 Hoping to plant lots of tulips this fall! ☆ Chili/Cayenne powder deters the squirrels from eating your bulbs 🐿
Serina, those photos of you with the purple tulips are the prettiest ever!! Love you and love those tulips.
You'll ought to get an award for filmography: the background music, snapping tulip picks, story line...
It sure gives me an appreciation about how precious the bouquets are. So worth every penny. I wish you both continued sell out days. 🤞
Congrats Ian and Serina! Another awesome week with all the hard work!

The timing of the flower snipping with the music ... brilliant.
Never bored with Tulips. Love, love love the purple tulips. Best footage is Serena walking away with bundle of Kale in one arm and a kitty in the other.
NEVER get tired of tulips! 🌷 so glad you called the tulip Queen Of Night. So annoying when people say Queen of THE Night!!
Serina!!!! You do the most amazing magic with those flowers! They are so beautiful!! I could watch you make bouquets for hours!

Nothing is safe from Serina and her snips - watch out cats 🐱. Lovely bouquets 💐
Also, your tulip varieties are mind-blowingly gorgeous, Serina. Never have I seen such beautiful bouquets.
Enjoyed and shared to Facebook. I imagine a weekly Serena bouquet could become an addictive habit. Woman, you have a gift and you are an inspiration. Thanks for all the teaching.

Hello dear, how are you doing?
I love tulips so much! You have so many beautiful colors! 😍😍😍
love the sync of the sound of cutting and the background music beautiful bouquets Serena! well done🌷
I just had to let you know how much I enjoyed that you matched up the kale snipping with the beat of the music. That was such a satisfying little intentional editing moment. Love the tulips!
I love the syncronization of the music and Serinas clipping.
I love how you timed the sound of the tulip pop along with the music. Nice touch!
Serina and Ian, I have fallen in love with your channel. Your generosity of information is so useful. We live too many provinces away….one day 🤔 😃… I am blown away with the beauty of your bouquets. What an eye for what works together. Your creativity Serena …… wow. You have inspired us to have a go with the Hellebores, so gorgeous! Thanks so much for all your hard work 💐
Stunning bouquets!! Your artistic eye is spot on Serena 🥰
The bouquets are so lush and beautiful! ❤️

Great video - have you ever tried growing bells of Ireland? For your early greenery? It’s cold hardy, you could start it early and put it in a hoop house 🤷🏼♀️
So much work! The bouquets are gorgeous.
Love love love the cats, and what gorgeous flowers 💐 !
You 2 just keep improving, honing and polishing everything you do to a beautiful radiant shine! ✨️ I would love it if you mentioned the varieties as you go along if/when possible and not adding another tedious chore to your already jam-packed busy hustle bustle. Kudos to you both!!! Loving all you share from North Idaho zone 6a 💚 🌻 🌿

The deep purple tulips are gorgeous. You have inspired me to plant more flowers for myself.
Tulips are so beautiful!! Can't get enough of them!
You guys really worked hard, wish all success this season.
Serena, you have GOT to prioritize your sleep! I know you have so much work to do, but I worry a little bit that your health will suffer eventually after so many late nights. Sleep is vital to our health. Of course, amazing job as always, though! ❤
Gorgeous Serina....I think the hat helps with your creativity 🥰
I’m so happy for you! You both work so hard. Your fresh and dried flowers are just gorgeous, especially those dark purple tulips! Thank you for showing the flowers and the process to those of us who live too far away to come to the market (I’m in the US)! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

This is my first time watching. What a blessing it was to join you especially during these difficult days we all seem to find ourselves in. Your eye for unique beauty really shows in each bouquet. What a great team you two are. I wish you both much success. Thanks for making me smile and forget all insanity out there.
I haven't be here for a while, so I'm surprised that you don't sell food anymore on the market 🤔 but the bouquets 💐 are really beautiful 🌷👍
I love watching y'all. This is so awesome that you had two good weekends in a row. God bless 😊
I will never tire of tulips!
Gorgeous bouquets! Happy that you did well again. Looking good. Love the purple and white!
You two are WONDERFUL and suCH hARd workers!!! But Serena, you are amAzing! The flowers are beautiful but I LOVE the dried flower arrangements! The colors are vibrant and amazing! Blessings! Praying you sell Out! BTW the music is perfect!

Great intro... can't tell how much I enjoy your videos with morning coffee makes for a great start of my day
I think you should experiment with putting some tulips in a pot with the blub and selling them that way. I always buy my family plants that come back each year. I love you channel. It's amazing how much y'all get done in a day.

Thats phisically not easy work. just imagine compared to field planted tulips the amount of this work... you have to plant out every pot, then you move it somwwhere to overwinter, then you move it back in the spring, and then you water it regularly. Hell of a job. I make arount 20 bulb pots for myself each year, and its quite labourious.

@@WibblyWobbly I mean for them to just make a few to sell. It wouldn't be hard to take the one they already pull up with bulb and plant in it a pot to sell in the stand by road. It may be to much to take them to farmers market but having just a few each day in stand wouldn't be much since they already pull them up with the bulbs.

@@Brittany-410 few to sell each market means that they have to prepare a hundred or more pots in the fall. You cant pull them up with the bulbs and then pot it up. It doesnt make sense. Idea with potted dahlia was better, cause you plant it and sell right away, you dont have to fuss over it over half a year.

This still might work as a way of ‘recycling’ the bulbs that Serena left in for a year, but which didn’t do much. Of course, they’d have to be stored a whole year so I don’t know if it would work?

These special hybrids are annual not perennial. The bulbs would either dessicate in the soil or send up a green stalk with no flower next year. She'd need to have perennial tulips.
Am so loving your channel, it's becoming a favorite 😁😁😁😁
Thanks for the video. It is really enlightening about all the work and the number of hours that go into a bouquet of flowers.
How privileged you are to work with such beauties, even though it's tough on you guys as well. I am so happy for you!
First…. Or sixth?? 😋 love the dark purple tulips!
I love your dried flowers! I'm making another trip this summer to your farm to buy some dried flowers. Great video, thank you!
I have waited for this since days. Your videos are motivation pure to me.
Your flower are beautiful but I find most attractive is your happy attitude and smile. I can’t even begin to imagine working soo hard and being so positive!! You guys are very inspiring! Love the sound of the crispy tulips sounds! Gods energy and blessings guys! 🌸😊✨
Way to go, guys. All looks amazing. Also - serious editing props for syncing that beat to the pulled tulips!
The tulips are GLORIOUS!! Tulips!! TULIPS!!! Who can be tired of TULIPS!??!!!! They’re my absolute favorite!! 🌷
Hello, thanks for sharing this video, great upload, keep it up. Good luck!!🍁🌹
Your flower arrangements are beautiful. From the east coast.
Flowers plant farming is a good hobby and profitable too my friend .
I love this so much. Thank you for sharing. Xx
Your cats are living their best lives lol.
Wish you could get one Of those stem cutters like Nicole at Flower Hill Farm. I can’t help but wish you had more help and tools to make your work more efficient and go faster! You always look so tired..always smiling..hope you guys do well this summer!
Those are beautiful! Very clever using trees and other perineal plants to fill in your tulips 😊
Beautiful work! Also excellent video editing, syncing the snipping and pulling to the beat!
Why don't you use a stem cutter to level the extra stems of your bouquets,less work
A bouquet cutter could be handy to save time? Nicole loves to use that.
What a beautiful tulips beautiful colors and you making a amazing bouquet a good job I never see dry flowers with such a beautiful color I can't wait when the rest flowers can I grow I wish you guys all the best with beautiful gardens take care.

Por qué no se pueden cultivar tulipanes? Es por que no tienen suficiente frío?
Who could ever get enough tulips!?!? Yes... I now need to try and grow kale. Never have I ever thought I'd grow it. Do a girl a favor and tell me the name of what I'm buying so I can have better filler for my tulip bouquets. 😅 So glad yall are killing it at the market! We've done with tulips and I have my first ever good looking dalhias that are budding up, sunflowers 🌻, zinnias and marigolds going.
WOW !!! You two have done AMAZING ! Everything looks so awesome . All your hard work is paying off and I'm so proud of my fellow Canadians !! Great job guys !! Thanks for the video and letting everyone see what you can do . If I didn't see it on here I would have def missed it living so far across the country , lol . I love your videos . keep them coming !

I love having the weekly market vlogs to look forward to again! I live in a very similar climate to yours, and I had some pennycress that overwintered well and has produced great filler/texture for my bouquets the last month or so. Maybe something worth considering for this tricky in between season!

I think huge bouquets- maybe day old flowers or dried arrangements in front of the farm stand to catch people’s eyes as they drive by.
Beautiful flowers as usual.
I love watching you guys at the market! It’s a shame I’m from England because I’d love to buy from you!
All the bouquets were beautiful! 💐
Tulips are my favorite flower. absolutely gorgeous!
So happy that the videos have flowers again! The synchronized POPs were incredible too. Inspired by your legendary Mothers Day video I made a mason jar arrangement for ME. Three of the best tulips. Weed -check, woody stem with greenery - clip. Was going after another weed, when the COLUMBINE waved PICK ME. The geranium shaped leaves really accentuated the tulips, and stripped off some of their flowers so the tulips were the star focal flower.
You make love!y beautiful bouquets 🤩
Nice timing of the clipping of the kale to the music
This is great!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful bouquets!
I'm enjoying your videos. I love tulips ! Wish they would grow in my country
Tulips has always been my favorite flower. But Serena introduced me to ranunculus and now I'm obsessed with them.
Gorgeous bouquets!
Awesome
