The cool weather has enhanced the Dahlia colors– deep pink ‘Pinelands Princess’, fluffy ‘Chilson’s Pride’ and rich burgundy ‘Voodoo.’ Snapdragons, Zinnias and pink/purple Cleome add texture with Verbena bonariensis providing accent. The cobalt vase complements the mix, while contrasting with fall colors in the background.

With no frost in the forecast, it looks like I’ll be enjoying bouquets for a while longer. No complaints from me!

The foliage around the yard is starting to turn autumnal yellow, red and orange. My arrangement this week reflects those hues. Orange dahlias, nubby celosia and runner bean blossoms, burgundy-streaked rudbeckias, salmon zinnias, with purple asters, verbena and cleome offering contrast.
