Florets - Floral Quote - # 78 - by Kristin Perers

"Find creative ways to bring nature inside. Look to what is left in the garden. Flowers such as rudbeckia, nigella, poppies and sunflowers have wonderful sculptural seed heads, giving them a life long after what is normally considered their prime. Combine spiky thistles and plump rose hips with turning foliage for vibrant autumnal display. "

Florets - Floral Quote - # 75 - by Paula Pryke

" One of the reasons I adore autumn is it gives me an excuse to use more colour, and particularly to enjoy the more vibrant colours in the spectrum. The fading light levels make us naturally drawn to the warmer, richer colours of nature and as our mood turns to heavier choices for food, so does our taste for colour and heavier decorations. My work throughout the year is always inspired by texture, but never more so than in this season."
