Pam Roberts, one of our members down in Pensacola, FL, not only grows a beautiful flower meadow, but uses the flowers’ petals in a unique way. She dries the blooms, and then creates exquisite framed pictures of the colorful petals to form beautiful monograms, flags, and other images.
We’ve heard from Pam several times, and she has built a business with her creative efforts. You can visit her website called Alexa-Jayne.Blogspot.com and see more examples of her flower petal art.
She uses our seeds to plant the garden, and then harvests the blooms when the petals are bright and fresh. Her main species is Delphinium ajacis. The common name is “Rocket Larkspur”--the one that is so good for drying—the delphinium you often see in dried flower bunches with dried blooms in shades of pink, red, blue and white.

Pam writes, “As an avid gardener and artist, I guess you could say I think in flowers!” Starting with the monograms, Pam’s business, Alexa-Jayne, has grown to include wreaths, dried arrangements, note cards, tea towels—even entire custom-created designs and ideas for “wildflower weddings.”
Pam and the beautiful things from Alexa-Jayne have been featured in various newspapers and magazines from local articles to a major feature in Southern Living, one of the best home/garden magazines in the country.
We’re delighted Pam sent us these photos to share with all our members. Visit her website to see more of her beautiful creations.
