How do you prepare for fall?
Two years ago I ordered some dried flowers on eBay.
I might not be able to grow hydrangeas but that wouldn't stop me from decorating with some during the fall and winter.

I found a seller in Oregon that had a great deal on them.
Last fall I wanted Bittersweet.
I'd seen gorgeous images of orange and yellow Bittersweet in fall arrangements.
It doesn't grow in our area but I found a seller in Ohio.
A box of fresh Bittersweet arrived about a week later.
A box of fresh Bittersweet arrived about a week later.
When I opened the box, it just looked wrong.
The berries were yellow, not yellow and orange.
I closed up the box and decided to deal with it later.
Later arrived and the berries were open.
They were the yellow and orange colors I'd expected but the vines had dried all curled up in the box. They were a little hard to manipulate into displays but I enjoyed the heck out of those cuttings.
The yellow and orange is just so cute for fall.
Supposedly Bittersweet can be used from year to year but to me the berries dried out too much.
The seller for this batch laid them flat for shipping.
It will be a few more weeks before these will be used in some fall displays.
In the meantime I've stocked up on Baby's breath in a variety of colors. I love it in vases at this time of year.
Work has been pretty crazy lately. I'm glad the summer was so productive because projects around here are definitely on the back burner.
I hope you had a great week.
