the story behind the name
Moonbeam Blooms
A native flower, a child’s first word, and a dream slowly tended into being.
The Moonbeam flower, also known as Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonbeam’, is a “nativar” perennial flower that grows in North Carolina. It is perfectly suited for speciality cut flower arrangements with stunning pale lemon-yellow flowers and delicate lacy foliage. I want to help popularize the beauty of native flowers in arrangements, bouquets, and floral art!
I’m a pull quote!
Moon was also my child’s first word. I was with him as he said “moon” watching it rise over our garden and towering oak trees in awe. It was at a tender moment when the flower dream was also in its infancy. I hold this moment as part of the legacy, a blessing and naming, for this flower farm to embody a childlike wonder and delight in the gifts of our natural world.
Sowing the seeds of this dream with love and the whispers of desire thrumming in my heart, watering it with slow purposeful intention, building soil and deepening roots, have culminated into this dream reaching its next natural step of the lifecycle. I am excited, humbled, and grateful for this flower farm dream to blossom into reality! I can’t wait to share my contagious love of all these Moonbeam Blooms with you!
