There are a surprising number of pink and purple flowers in the autumnal garden and I’ve taken a selection of these and grouped them into a tablescape arrangement. I have had this collection of small vases in greens and ambers that I typically use individually.  They make a nice grouped arrangement.

A close up of a few of the flowers:

Fushia, phormium, and lezpedeza (drappey purple flower aka bush clover)

Tricyrtis and dahlia

 

 

I also participated in Petal it Forward yesterday. Sponsored by the  Society of American Florists S, it’s was a fun event to share the joy of flowers.

Studies have shown giving and receiving flowers reduces stress, brightens moods and brings people together.
