Fall (Autumn) Flowers

In Australia: March, April, May

Autumn blooms of big full many petalled garden grown (as opposed to the greenhouse type) ‘David Austin’ style roses are something every rose lover and gardener dreams of.

Roses are still the number one choice for brides, and with every colour except true blue available, the choices are awesome! In grandma’s day roses were only available from mid spring to mid autumn, with today’s technology we have an amazing choice all year , if not with local grown then with roses from Holland, Zimbabwe, Chile, Columbia, South Africa and many other countries.

Other Autumn Flowers include, Calla lilies in the wonderful autumn shades of bronze gold, cream, burgundy and yellow, these long lasting beauties are so suitable for any style of bouquet and team well with roses, berries and interesting foliages.

Gerberas, in mini, standard and large size blooms, the colour range is huge, only excluding blue and true purple, also with bi colours., on their own or in mixed bouquets.

Gloriosa lilies, these glorious red and yellow lilies with their recurved petals are so exotic they are breathtaking.

The Oriental, Asiatic and November lilies are also available now.

Gypsophila , better known as ‘Baby’s Breath’ with masses of dainty white or palest pink florets create an airy effect.

Slipper orchids, in late autumn, mostly in shades of green yellow and brownish red, these orchids are quite unique.

Carnations are always available and with the new introductions of modern colours such as lime green and deep purple should not be overlooked for choice.

Banksia, for those with a love of Australian native flowers there are always some vareieties of banksias around.

Leucadendrons , teaming so well with their native cousins the colour range is green, yellow, bright to very dark red, these are almost invincible blooms.

Gumnuts and Berries in all colours, pepper, Privet, ivy berry ...
