One of the advantages with fresh flowers in the fall is that so many of the fall favorites, chrysanthemums of endless varieties, safflower, lilies, thistle for example are sturdy and have a long vase life.

Hydrangea which is a favorite of many any time of year can be especially interesting in the fall. Many of these opulent flowers will also dry nicely for you to enjoy for months, way past the fall season.
[A vase of dahlias makes quite an impact]
For something special select a few fabulous dahlias to either incorporate with other blooms or to tuck into a vase on their own. These are so luscious in their magnificent array of colors and sizes. They are not as long lasting as some of the other fall flowers but they are so gorgeous how can you resist? Fall is the season of harvest and abundance. Immerse yourself in its splendor and enjoy every minute!
