FALL ARRANGEMENTS - Tangerine, Orange, Coral, Red and Peach colors welcome fall

Fall is here, and the weekly arrangement for September 14 verifies just that--bright tangerine, orange, coral, red, and peach tones are a sign that fall has arrived! Paired with the dark bright blue of bush delphinium, this bouquet, using colors of various blooms from the garden of zinnias and roses, is rich and colorful. Plan your arrangements with flowers that are available in your garden. You'll be surprised what you can come up, even when you think you might not have enough blooms for an arrangement. There are many color schemes you can come up with--complimentary, or opposites on the color wheel,  like this arrangement. Monochromatic arrangements, or tones and shades of one color, are another way to provide a pleasing arrangement.  There are other combinations as well--the sky's the limit when arranging!

EARLY FALL ARRANGEMENTS - Roses, Mums, Monkshood and Zinnias

This week's arrangement features the bright early fall colors of the flowers that do so well when the temperatures cool down a bit. GARDEN AND FLORIST MUMS, in particular, need longer, cooler nights to perform their best, and so they are starting to bloom. Fall blooming MONKSHOOD is tall and stately. Be careful when handling Monkshood--all parts of the flower and stem can be irritating to the skin and are poisonous.The HYBRID TEA ROSES and STATE FAIR ZINNIAS will continue to bloom until the first hard frost.  When cutting, cut stems on an angle, under water, and immediately arrange in your vase or planter with water with floral preservative in. Keep arrangements out of direct sunlight for a longer vase-life arrangement.
