In a matter of six weeks, parts of central and eastern Nebraska transitioned from battling severely dry conditions to receiving timely, consistent rainfall.
Becca Monroe, owner of West Mill Flowers near Raymond, said the rainfall allowed her cut flower crop to bloom and flourish for all of her summer events, including farmers’ markets and U-pick days.
Many of their cut flowers are in bloom this time of year, including zinnias, cosmos, celosia, lisianthus, scabiosa, and various fillers.
