Thanksgiving is almost here! It’s a wonderful time to gather with family and friends, enjoy some delicious food, and celebrate all that we’re thankful for.
While the food takes center stage at most Thanksgiving meals, your table decor can make a statement, too. Here are some things to consider for a Thanksgiving centerpiece.
Alstroemeria, commonly called the Peruvian lily, is a beautiful small flower than can be used to add color and fullness to any bouquet. There are more than 50 varieties of this beautiful flower that originated in South America. It’s sometimes called the parrot lily as well.
Dish gardens are a great low-maintenance and lasting gift option! They work well in office or home settings, and they can be given for birthdays, anniversaries, or even as sympathy. Dish gardens have been around for a long time, but they’ve certainly increased in popularity in recent years.
Halloween is just around the corner! While it’s not quite the floral holiday of Valentine’s Day or Christmas, you can still have some festive fun with flowers for Halloween, too!
Here are a few options to consider for Halloween floral ideas.
Chrysanthemums, commonly called mums, are the queen of fall flowers, and they come in many varieties and colors.
Mums can be traced back to the 15th century B.C. in China. They made their way to Japan in the 8th century A.D., where the emperor adopted a single chrysanthemum as the crest and official seal. It’s still a highly revered flower throughout Asia today.
Every year in October, there’s a special day to celebrate our bosses. Of course, you can choose any other day of the year to say thank you to a great boss as well. Here are a few gift ideas to consider for your boss.
October is Adopt a Shelter Pet Month, and we want to take a moment to talk about one of our favorite rescue organizations: All Paws Rescue. It’s no secret to any of our regular customers or friends that we love animals at Lilygrass!
It’s officially fall! Time to break out the sweaters, cozy up next to a fire with some marshmallows, enjoy some apple cider, and celebrate all things fall. And that includes fall floral arrangements! Oranges, browns, yellows, reds, and deep purples add such warmth and beauty to any space. It’s a great way to bring the natural beauty of the outdoors this time of year inside to enjoy all day.
Try one of these great fall floral arrangements to brighten your home, office or send one to a friend to brighten their day.
Okay, we have a confession to make. Lilygrass's owner, Alicia, likes plants of all kinds, but she kills plants a lot. She loves them too much (over-waters) then she says "oh no" and doesn't water them to let them dry out (under waters). She can't find the happy water medium zone. So, she is ban from watering plants in the store. Now, that is funny!
