Fall...

"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October." - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Well we are "BACK"!!!

Orange Orange Zest AF-1072

Warm but not mushy, orange mixes the passion of red with the unbridled happiness of yellow. Pride, energy, and confidence imbue the meaning of flowers ranging from vermillion to ginger. Whether spreading their zest through their own bouquet or else spicing up an assorted bunch, orange flowers are vibrant and vibrancy is fun. The great thing about orange flowers are the amounts of different shades available. You can get coral, or more of a burnt orange, or even the apricot colors. It never seems to end with the amount of different color of orange roses there are.

    

Red Albert's Florist lovely 2 Dozen Roses AF-1852

Love, above all else, is the symbolic meaning of flowers ranging from crimson to scarlet and back. The deeper the red, the deeper the meaning. Dark reds show a charitable love while brighter reds reveal devoted passion. Whether this is love born of beauty, fire, or courage, red is the color to have.

There are two names that have been given to red roses. The first is Red Berlin, this nickname illustrates the type of passion one has. Red Berlin is a tomato red rose, this shouldn’t be all that surprising considering all that comes to mind when you think of Red Berlin. The second name given to red roses is Black Magic This nickname has been given to a dark burgundy rose.

Pink A Little Pink Me Up AF-3013

Whereas red is the color of deep and abiding love, pink is red’s youthful counterpart. The meaning of pink flowers is one of innocent happiness. At once caring and also carefree, pink flowers allow you to show love more filial than romantic. Use pink when the meaning of your flowers needs a buoyant touch.

Pucker Up Buttercup! It's a Ranunculus!

Pucker Up Buttercup! Jr Walker and the Allstar's - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JouNGyB1O0k Well, not quit!

Brilliantly colored flowers are ranunculus' chief attraction, and they are indeed special. They most often come in multiple layers of delicate, crepe paper--thin petals, looking like an origami masterwork. Ranunculus (R. asiaticus) excel in southern and western gardens, and make terrific container plants everywhere. Find your beautiful arrangement on our website - The Pleasures of Spring! http://www.albertsflorist.com/content/catalog/Catalog_Item.php?prod=1782

The Romantic Anemone...

This unscented flower, which is actually in the buttercup family, stands for "Expectation" and is best used in bouquets and arrangements. Anemones actually bloom in either single or double blossoms and come in white, purple, blue, green, yellow, pink, or red. Most Brides love their sweet look and their appeal for Romance!
