If the term «umbellifer» does not mean anything to you, you should look at the blue thistle in the next flower store in the fall. At the latest now you may become a fan of this plant genus.

True, the blue thistle has spiny bracts. But it is very special with its steel blue flowers.

In the flower store, the blue thistle is available from the beginning of August until the end of December.

After the abundant flowering in the summer, rosehip roses have their second big appearance in the fall. This is when the orange-red and sometimes even almost black fruits emerge and provide color. This also applies to the physalis. There, the orange lanterns make the branches something special. Especially because the small lantern contains a sweet berry that can be eaten.

But whether rosehip branches or physalis: they not only look good in bouquets but are also a wonderful decoration as soloists in the vase.

Available in flower stores: rosehip branches from mid-August to the end of December; physalis from mid-August to the end of November.

Fiery colors and lush flower shapes, these are the qualities by which you can recognize the celosia. The extraordinary flowers come in white, red, yellow, pink, purple, orange, green or multicolored. In addition, one encounters celosias with feathery inflorescences.

However, sometimes the flowers form a crest or tail. Celosia is considered a symbol of boldness. So, if you want to give courage to someone, this is the right choice.

In the flower store celosias are available from early August to late November.

With their bright colors from yellow to red, South African pincushions add a lot of life to bouquets. This makes them popular. They have very long, narrow stamina that erect like needles, giving the plant its name.

As cut flowers, pincushions are a beautiful addition to autumn bouquets. This is because their bright colors express a zest for life.

In the flower store pincushions are available from mid-August to late December.
