Well its the Labor Day holiday once again and we are in the process of changing over from a HOT summer to hopefully a cool fall here at The Flower Place in Southern California.

 It has been interresting to stop at the wholesalers on the way into the shop each morning and notice the arrival of the wonderful fall fresh product now beginning to appear at the market. Fresh Artichokes in green and the wonderful dark purple, Saffron with the tufts of bright orange popping up out of the pods, braches of white Snowberry, huge Hydrangea blossoms in dark blue, lavender, antique and green, Zinnias in their brilliant colors. It should not be too long before Bittersweet, Monkshood, Cockscomb,Chineese Lanterns and Flowering Kale are arriving.

We are waiting for the fresh produce markets to tell us that kumquats and cranberries will be arrinving soon as we use a great deal of both of these for filing the glass cubes for a different and unusual texture.

  

To see some of the items we offer in these glass cubes filled with cranberries visit the new picture album just posted.
