Hydragea, dhalia and a touch of grass - all from a local New Jersey farm in Bernardsville. A stricking, simple and lasting arrangement that just about anyone can put together. Vase life of flowers increases exponentially relative to distance reduction in travel. Dhalias will have to be disposed of but hydrangea and grasses can successfully move on to a dry arrangement and easily last through the winter in a vase, swag or wreath.
A glass square (my personal favourite) filled with blue ageratum (flossflower - also comes in purple and white), celosia (cock's comb) and helianthus -sunflower buds (which are much more subtle to design with than developed flowers). All from the Honey Brook Organic farm in Pennington. A perfect vibrant autumn centerpiece, a coffee table or mantle arrangement. Not only will it last for at least a week... if one is patient and refills the vase with fresh water, ageratum will root and successfully transplant into the garden after a few weeks.
