September Recipe

A large Urn of Septembers foliage, grasses and seed heads. A Harvest Festival celebration.

A September large Urn; waiting for the good bit with texture and movement.

I like a lot of my flowers undressed right now, waiting until the petals fall. Once they’ve developed their seed heads, I’m interested; which is a good job this month with autumn in the air. This is a large Urn giving structure and texture in a sophisticated palette of burgundy, rusts, greens and browns. Mottled and damaged leaves, ordinarily picked over, can now be embraced, telling a story of the summer and anchoring the arrangement in late September.
