Think Tropical

Chicago may be a wee bit wet and a bit colder than usual. This red monochromatic arrangement can remind us that somewhere out there it is warm. This arrangement is so tropical and textured. It has a stunning abundance of fall colors, maroon and burgundy, leucodendron and sedum and pops of pink bouvardia.

CHILLY CHICAGO

This wild allium arrangement is perfect for anyone this fall especially in this onion city.

Don't you just love this dusty pink colored sedum? It is warmly nested in this flowery mound.

It is even subtle enough for a bedside table.

Since, the sun is going down a bit sooner and nothing is better than your cozy bed. We thought you could enjoying looking at these cool colored arrangements. What do you think of these subdue colors? Rather calming for a chilly fall night.

Easy Breezy

The geese flying south, the cool breeze and the slightly shorter days only means one thing. That one thing is fall. Flowers can still scream cheer without being the usual fall color palette. Enjoy a lovely mixture of yellows. These subtle hints of blue thistle and green roses and brown grasses, keep summer alive and reminds us that the cold winds are coming through.

September is the New August

August used to be the month to sit back and enjoy the end of summer. What about September? The weather here in Chicago is so great. The skies are still blue and its just a perfect time to enjoy the great windy city. We can sit back and anticipate the leaves changing colors and the abundance of squash and pumpkins that are soon to come! Throw on a a sweat shirt and look, the colors of fall have begun.

Carnivorous Plants

The front of our shop always fills up with flies in late August. We know it is gross yet, they feed these little plants. These food chain whackers are the one and only venus fly traps. They are so interesting and pretty prehistoric looking. Do you have a fly problem? These plant jaws are your decorative answer. They are also great house plant but, they do have a dormant period.

Summer is Still Here

This is the time of year when you can simple walk around the block and everything is in bloom. Hydrangeas have exploded and the bee balm is out in it's full sprawl! Can you believe the colors of these roses? The light peach rose is like a beautiful ball of cotton candy. Step outside, don't let this summer pass you by. Look around at the abundance of colors. Go be a tree hugger.

Blue Skys

Thank you Chicago for all of these spectacular blue skies. The Air and Water show was this past weekend and it flew by, did you get to see it? Can you believe it is getting close to the end of August? Time to pack in as much fun as we can and stay outside as long as possible! This mix of lilies, queen ann's lace, hydrangeas and delphinium can surly help remind you of how beautiful it is outside.
