Orange Flowers

 

Synonymous with autumn arrangements, Halloween and bonfire night; orange flowers are a symbol of energy and confidence. Ranging from delicate pale shades to vibrant hues, orange flowers can be found in most flower species, including roses, marigold and freesia. When you’re looking to add some fire to your garden without needing a bucket of water on standby, orange flowers are the way to go.
