Flower School: Hops

Hops have a near and dear place in my heart.  

My husband is a brewer at a local craft brewery in Seattle  

and the smell of hops will always remind me of my husband coming home 

from work in our first year of marriage. 
We also incorporated hops into our own wedding.  

Hop season in Washington starts in mid-August and goes through September.  

Hops grow on vines best in moist climates.  

Their prime harvest is at the end of summer here in Washington.  

You can learn more about hops here.

Below are some of my favorite hop ideas (aside from beer).

This gorgeous hop arch.  So romantic!

I would love to find some hop vines and make this incredible wreath.
