Autumn Flower Arranging


I visited the Royal Horticultural Society London Flower Show with my friend yesterday.
It was a riot of autumn colour. Pumpkins in all kinds of shapes and beautiful colours. Apples i all shades of red, yellow and green. Shiny peppers in orange, green, red, purple and yellow. Dahlias, Asters, Chrysanthemums and autumn foliage in huge amounts.

My favorite was a stall created by the National Association of Flower Arrangement Society.
I usually don't like overly complicated flower arrangements but I did like this one. What impressed me was the mixture of flowers, foliage, berries, seed heads, fruit and branches. These arrangements were incredible in their abundance of vibrant colours, texture, form and contrast.

Supervacker bukett med maffiga färger.... Tycker att man ibland vill ha det så enkelt som möjligt och ibland vill man vräka på..... Skönt att kunna variera sig....

Oh, I would also have loved to visit this show. Almost got there about ten years ago.

Your photo has wonderful color harmonies, and the shapes and textures of the petals and leaves really find a complex way to connect to each other.

It's a lovely mix!

Funny to see roses in October, but even on my New York street, I see some roses still in bloom in front of a beautiful brownstone house. These rosebushes have been putting on a remarkable show since May.

Dear Ingrid, I agree with you that this arrangement is very pretty and has a lovely combination of colours and textures. It has a wonderful spotaneity to it which I like and very much prefer to the stiff arrangements so often seen in florists.

I love autumn and all of it's beauty that it offers. The colors remind me of warmth and a time to reap and harvest.
