Special Fall Flower Themed Arrangements

There are many symbols associated with the fall, including leaves, pumpkins, and cornucopias. That’s why we have used many of these as part of the accents or containers for our fall flower arrangements. These features often can be kept after the luster of the flowers has faded and be used as a décor item for the rest of fall or the falling autumn seasons. Here are a few of our themed fall flower arrangements: Bountiful Bouquet This stunning flower arrangement includes festive fall cheer with orange roses, burgundy mini carnations, butterscotch daisies and rush Asiatic lilies within a ceramic pumpkin container with a lid.  Pumpkin N’ Posies This flower arrangement features orange roses, sunflowers, and other fall flowers within a reusable ceramic pumpkin for a beautiful way to celebrate the season.

Flower Therapy: Get Well Gifts

While most flowers are set to highlight a happy and special time, there are those unfortunate situations when flowers become more of a way to cheer someone up or help them feel better. Whether you have a loved one that is home sick, in recovery from a surgery, or in the hospital, flowers offer great therapy that helps people mend quickly. The bright colors and connection to nature are two reasons why flowers are such great therapy. The recipients also know that there is a special intangible sentiment that comes with those flowers from a loved one that also helps them on the road to recovery. To provide you with some ideas, here are some of our Get Well flower arrangements: The Get Well Bouquet features orange roses and spay roses along with stargazer lilies and hot pink Matsumoto aster in an orange glass vase with a silver metallic tag that reads “Get Well.” The Colors

Add a Lush Look to Your Patio, Porch, or Balcony with Hanging Plants and Flowers

Flowers are beautiful no matter how they are presented. However, a unique way to showcase them outside on your patio, porch, or balcony is to use hanging baskets full of flowers, blooming plants, and greenery. This is especially nice if you do not have a garden or backyard to enjoy nature to its fullest. This blog post offers some care tips for hanging baskets as well as showcases some of the designs we have available for local delivery in the Denver area. Choosing a Spot Too much sun is not a good thing for hanging flower baskets because the sun’s rays can damage the flowers. Each hanging basket of different flower varieties has different requirements in terms of the amount of light it needs to thrive.
