Blue and White Wedding

Flowers For Fall

We always associate the color orange and its immediate cousins like browns, copper, yellows, gold and even crimson as the color of the autumn season. I, for one like these colors when combined with other unexpected hues such as purples, hot pinks, and greens. With the abundance of flowers like sedums, lisianthus, asters and monkshoods these days, I tried combining them with fragrant garden roses, calla lilies and hydrangeas, the final result is stunningly beautiful.

I Know What You Did Last Summer!

Weddings, weddings and more weddings...that's what kept us so busy in the summer. From the Brock House to Cecil Green, Grouse Mountain to Vandusen Gardens, Granville Island to Stanley Park, our flowers have decorated the ceremonies and receptions of many couples this year. Take a look at some of our wedding projects this past summer and let us know what your thoughts are

What's hot at the end of our (very short) summer season? Part 2

When rains in Vancouver start to fall, our gardens tend to lose the colors that we immensely enjoyed in the summer. Although some of our remaining blooms begin to get mushy and pale, we can still content ourselves with the lovely colors of lovely foliages such as coleus, smoke bush and potato vines. I dug up a small patch in my front loan to plant some bright garden mums. Two weeks later, I wasn't disappointed with the result when they filled the entire patch with cheery colors of yellows, magentas and bronze!

My coleus are still looking very perky!

The garden ornaments and furnitures need to be put away very soon though...

What's hot at the end of our (very short) summer season?

These garden roses are just stunning in arrangements.

Fall is almost here... you can feel it in the air! That means most of our summer flowers are done for the season, right? Wrong! Actually we can still enjoy the vibrant colors of our hydrangeas, dahlias, garden roses and orchids. I have put together yet another masterpiece today and in addition to my favorite summer blooms, I added some scented geraniums and fragrant rosemary sprigs. The look is simply stunning and the smell...heavenly.

Anemones (Wind Flowers)

These are definitely one of my favorite spring flowers. They come in deeply-saturated colors of  magenta, blue, red, purple and cream. When the blooms fully open, they resemble poppies. Gorgeous on their own in clear glass vases.

Pinks and Mauves

The sweet, sweet fragrance of hyacinths are even more enhanced by the mauve "Cool Water" Ecuadorian roses and green "Forty-niner" cymbidium orchids.

Spring Project

Colorful germinis, "Celeste" and "Freeman" tulips fill these bejeweled containers ready for delivery on Monday morning.

Happy Spring!

With the advent of spring, we at Buy The Bunch started the day by creating these extra large urns filled with green "Forty-niner" cymbidium orchids and lots and lots of hot pink carnations... yes, carnations! Mind you the final result was breathtakingly beautiful!
