<p>A hardy autumn and winter plant, chrysanthemums are truly the perfect fall flower. With 40 different species and countless variations, chrysanthemum plants bloom in a variety of colors from purple, burgundy, and red to yellow, orange, white, and almost all of the colors in between. This autumn, our professionals at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>&nbsp;can help you choose the right chrysanthemums to perfect your seasonal home decor.</p>
<p>Start by decorating the outside of your home with beautiful&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=180">potted chrysanthemum</a>&nbsp;plants. Chrysanthemums bloom in full color throughout the season, and are hardy enough to withstand the cooler autumn weather. Whether you adorn your front porch with one plant or several, chrysanthemums will provide all of your visitors with a warm welcome.</p>
<p>Once your front porch is adequately festive, focus on the inside of your home incorporating chrysanthemum blooms in&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/cat-autumn/los-angeles-fall-flowers/">autumn bouquets</a>&nbsp;and centerpieces for the season. Floral arrangements can be displayed in basic,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2873">traditional vases</a>&nbsp;or in more whimsical seasonal containers like&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2447">hollowed out pumpkins</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=1744">cornucopias</a>. Chrysanthemums work well in a bouquet on their own or accompanied by other traditional autumn blooms like&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=701">sunflowers</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=1737">orange roses</a>, or&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2905">gerbera daisies</a>.<img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-276 size-full" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail1.jpg" alt="thumbnail" width="263" height="300"></p>
<p>For a festive fall feast or Thanksgiving dinner decorate your table with a seasonal centerpiece. Centerpieces can range from an elegantly arranged&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=1753">bouquet</a>&nbsp;of flowers to centerpieces incorporating&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2445">candlelight</a>&nbsp;or rustic&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=1733">baskets</a>. Centerpieces featuring fall chrysanthemums will bring cheer to your harvest table. Whether you select a bouquet or a candlelight spray for your table, make sure your centerpiece&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=398">bursts</a>&nbsp;with autumn cheer.</p>
<p>No matter the season or occasion, always be sure to order your flowers in advance to ensure you receive the highest quality blooms and the availability of the flowers of your choice. This autumn season, let the professionals at French Florist help you choose the best chrysanthemums for your fall decorations.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-429" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2.jpg" alt="outdoor plants" width="590" height="357" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2.jpg 590w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2-496x300.jpg 496w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px"></a>Los Angeles residents have the good fortune of living in a place where the climate is fantastic all year. It makes sense that every outdoor space would become an extension of indoor living space, and that outdoor entertaining was as common, if not more common than entertaining indoors. The climate is conducive to growing almost anything ' even plants that people who live in places where weather extremes are the norm ' would have to grow as houseplants. That's why our team here at <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> </strong>is so committed to making sure that we have a large selection of green and flowering plants that our customers can use to decorate their patios, decks, balconies, or outdoor living areas.</p>
<p>We've come up with a few ideas to help you use potted plants to decorate your entertaining areas. We think that the use of plants is a refreshing change from decorating with cut flowers.</p>
<p>When you want something that's small enough to fit on a table, appropriate enough to use as a centerpiece on a dining table, and equally suited to use on a coffee or end table, why not consider a <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=345">Begonia Plant</a></strong>? Our begonia is an unusual variety that grows from a tuber. The flowers are a bit reminiscent of tiny roses. Depending on availability, we will give you a pink or red begonia. You can also choose to have the begonia planted in a terra cotta pot. The earthy color of the clay will fit in perfectly with any outdoor d'cor. Best of all, you can also enjoy this plant inside.</p>
<div id="attachment_428" style="width: 273px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=320"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-428" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-428" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/zoom_TF13101EH165301.jpg" alt="outdoor plants" width="263" height="300"></a><p id="caption-attachment-428" class="wp-caption-text">Kalanchoe Plant</p></div>
<p>If you prefer to have a plant that thrives on neglect, consider <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=320">A Kalanchoe Plant.</a> </strong>Kalanchoe plants do well in full sun. If you're concerned about drought and using water unnecessarily, this plant is sure to win you over. It has thick leaves that are designed to hold water, acting like a reservoir that supplies the plant with water when it needs it. Small clusters of colorful flowers provide a lot of interest and contrast against the thick, shiny, dark green leaves. You can also grow this plant indoors.</p>
<p>If you are a lover of tropical plants, and enjoy plants that have interesting and unusual foliage, then consider a <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=66">Croton Plant</a></strong>. Croton plants thrive in sunny locations and warm weather. They are characterized by interesting foliage, all of which is variegated. Leaves can range from very pale cream color with green or red veins, to dark, shiny green with yellow or red and veins in contrasting colors.</p>

USING OUTDOOR PLANTS TO DECORATE FOR YOUR SUMMER PARTIES

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-456" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/Labor2_Social.png" alt="labor day" width="731" height="365" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/Labor2_Social.png 731w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/Labor2_Social-300x150.png 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/Labor2_Social-500x250.png 500w" sizes="(max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px"></a>With the wildfires and drought that are plaguing the state, we've hardly had a chance to enjoy the summer. It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of August. Labor Day, which always falls on a Monday, is two-and-a-half weeks away already. Sadly, for Los Angelinos, that means that summer is practically over. We hope you have something special planned for the Labor Day weekend, and <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a></strong> wants to encourage you ' our customers to add flowers to your Labor Day meal table, whether you're eating inside, having a backyard barbecue, or a beachside picnic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 when President Grover Cleveland signed the bill, creating the law that designated the first Monday of September as the nation's annual Labor Day observance. Efforts to establish a holiday on which to honor America's workers began in 1885 at the municipal level. Two years later, on February 21, 1887, Oregon became the first state to pass legislation declaring that the first Monday of September would be observed as a statewide holiday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The concept for a Labor Day holiday wasn't something the government came up with; it was an idea that came from workers and the labor unions who fought for them. The last two decades of the 19<sup>th</sup> century marked the heyday of the Industrial Revolution.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/roses-daisies/"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-457" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104.jpg" alt="labor day" width="450" height="500" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104-270x300.jpg 270w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px"></a></p>
<p>While it meant huge advances in technology, life for the average American worker was miserable. Most people worked 12-hour days, without any days off, and it wasn't unusual to find young children working in factories, mills, or mines, earning a fraction of what adults earned for the same jobs. This is what inspired the efforts to establish a national holiday to honor laborers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We think that<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/roses-daisies/"><strong> 'A Garden of Grandeur'</strong></a> is the perfect floral arrangement for a summertime picnic. The rustic basket is full of brightly colored seasonal flowers that look like something you'd expect to find in someone's lush flower garden. The basket has a handle to make it easy to carry to your backyard, to the beach, or picnic table elsewhere. For a nice finishing touch, we add decorative raffia bow.</p>

HOW TO DECORATE FOR OUTDOOR PARTIES

Tropical and sub-tropical ecosystems are characterized by many months of hot temperatures, and shorter periods of heavy rains. But although we may not be tropical, we do love all things sunny, colorful and beautiful ' so the tropical flowers that are trending this season fit right into our lifestyles!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-hawaiian-exotic/" rel="attachment wp-att-603"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-603" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621.jpg" alt="tropical flowers" width="450" height="474" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621-285x300.jpg 285w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px"></a>Perhaps the most recognizable tropical flower is the dramatic <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2882">bird of paradise</a>. The sharp angles, the bold orange color, and the regal stalks make this bloom the perfect star of your arrangement. These confident flowers are emblematic of paradise and are often paired with the royal purple <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-hawaiian-exotic/">dendrobium orchid</a>, an exotic flower whose delicate composition and vivid hue play off the birds of paradise for a striking combination. To further bring the tropics into your home, consider adding anthurium or red ginger to your arrangement. Both of these vibrantly hued, stately flowers stand tall and add a rich red tropical hue. For a completely different aesthetic, layer in some conversation-starting protea or Fuji mums in exotic colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2882" rel="attachment wp-att-605"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-605" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_AMS124412061374806120910102559-853x1024.jpg" alt="tropical flowers" width="477" height="571"></a>For those looking for a more subtle rain forest feeling, bromeliads are a perfect choice. Quintessentially tropical, yet always appropriate ' potted bromeliads come in several warm colors and make for an attractive and elegant floral display that fits in anywhere.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2889" rel="attachment wp-att-604"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-604" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_AMS1130S11080551731120910110345-853x1024.jpg" alt="tropical flowers" width="450" height="538"></a>In the summer, we all like to dream of being on a warm beach, with a palm tree overhead and a cool drink in our hands. If that dream is not going to become a reality this season, add some gorgeous tropical blooms to your d'cor, sit back, and allow your deck or patio to become your tropical paradise.

THE TREND IS TROPICAL FLOWERS

Aside from being exquisite offerings from nature, both the ruby and the delphinium have also been chosen to officially represent birthdays in the month of July ' the first as the birthstone, the second as the birth flower.</p>
<p>As one of only four true gemstones in the world, the ruby holds a special place of distinction. Known as the 'king of stones,' the jewel has been coveted by rulers for thousands of years. Not only was the ruby reported to ward off enemies, invaders and evil spirits ' very important attributes for those in tribal cultures ' a true deep red ruby is exceptionally rare and therefore only royalty and the highest levels of society were deemed worthy of owning one. A person would be gifted with the benefits of the ruby simply by wearing it; qualities which included peace, wealth, good fortune and passion. Legend says that during July, the stone's essence and spiritual powers are heightened.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2708"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-631" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_FW1089090116122355.gif" alt="hollywood birthday" width="391" height="434"></a>Did You Know: Birthstones became popular in 15th century Poland when one was chosen for each month. The list has changed over the centuries but has remained largely unchanged since 1912. Traditionally, wearing the appropriate birthstone in each month would transfer each stone's gifts to the wearer, regardless of birthday.</p>

Therefore it is entirely appropriate that the alternate way to celebrate a July birthday is the delicate blue delphinium flower.

But they are also play a critical role in our ecosystem, and are far more than just a 'pretty face'. From inviting butterflies, to supporting the cause of the honeybees, to repelling&nbsp;pesky insects ' these incredible plants provide many other benefits. This summer, let French Florist assist you in&nbsp;creating butterfly and bee gardens that&nbsp;will enhance your environment in many ways.</p>
<p><strong>But Won't They Sting Me?</strong>&nbsp;According to experts, the honeybee population has dramatically decreased in the last 20 years. Because they are so important in maintaining a sufficient and healthy food supply, anything that we can each do to help them to thrive is a great idea. And don't worry, honeybees pose little threat of stinging when they are collecting nectar; they are generally only aggressive when protecting the hive, or cornered.&nbsp;<span id="more-1018"></span>Bees and butterflies are attracted to many of the same plants, and you can create a single garden with plenty of flowers to attract them both! Although some people create gardens&nbsp;which are complex, you can also design a very simple oasis. You'll need bright, nectar filled flowers, such as sunflowers, asters and goldenrod. For even more success, plant clover, butterfly bushes, geraniums, milkweed, zinnias and hyacinth. Bee also love snapdragons, which can add a lot of interest and color to a garden.</p>

If you're new to having them, though, then it's important to make sure you place your plant in an area where it can get plenty of light. Remember, though, what seems like a well-lit room to you may still not have adequate amounts of light reach your plant to ensure it grows like it should. If your plant is exhibiting any of the below marks of insufficient lighting, then read on for more helpful hints and tips to ensure your plants flourish and thrive so you can enjoy their benefits. When you're finished, peruse <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">French Florist's</span></a><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> plant catalog for more beautiful plants to bring into your home.</span></p>
<h2><strong>Evidence of Insufficient Light on Your Plants</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Leggy</strong></h3>
<p>Long, slender stems are known as 'leggy' and are a sure sign your plant requires more light. In a plant's quest for survival, they will stretch and reach to capture as much light as possible. Leggy stems also have wide spaces between adjacent leaves. This space is called the internodal space and is much smaller in healthy plants. Large internodal spaces are symptoms of a light-starved plant.</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_1399026737.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-6766" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_1399026737.jpg" alt="Leggy Plant" width="450" height="300"></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Small Leaves</strong></h3>
<p>Scarcity of light means a plant isn't getting enough energy to grow its leaves to the proper size. To conserve the small amount of energy it is getting, a plant will produce smaller leaves. Match new growth to older growth to ascertain if there is a stark contrast in size.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Leaning</strong></h3>
<p>A lopsided or leaning plant signals the entire plant is not getting satisfactory sunlight. Plants will grow and stretch to absorb as much light as possible and this could lead to a one-sided plant. Make sure your plant is in a well-lit area and give it turn every time you water it so all the leaves get equal amounts of light.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1745" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-1200x900.jpg" alt="Leaning Plant" width="584" height="438" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-300x225.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-768x576.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-400x300.jpg 400w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant.jpg 1702w" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Abnormal Leaf Color</strong></h3>
<p>Light green or yellow leaves that start to drop off are signs of poor lighting. Without decent lighting, chlorophyll, which gives a leaf its green color, cannot carry out the photosynthesis process which keeps leaves green and healthy. Also, if your plant has variegated coloring, in an effort to absorb as much light as possible, the colored leaves will revert to all green.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Slowed Growth</strong></h3>
<p>During the spring and summer plants should exhibit a significant amount of growth. If yours does not, then it could indicate weak lighting. No new growth of stunted growth are warnings a plant is not receiving sufficient energy from light to become lush and big.</p>
<h2><strong>Getting the Light Right</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_301462706.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-6762" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_301462706.jpg" alt="Healthy Plants" width="450" height="300"></a></p>
<p>As it is possible for a plant to receive too much light also, resulting in scorched tips or 'burnt' patches on the leaves, getting the lighting right for a plant may be tricky. Only sun-worshipping plants should be in direct lighting for 6 or more hours a day. These would be cacti, succulents, and palm plants. Otherwise, indirect bright light works best for most other plants. Just realize that every foot away from a window that a plant is moved to is exponentially decreased light for the plant. You may not see it, but the plant will.</p>
<p>Try out different sunny places in your home and if you're unable to move your plant to a better lit spot, then get a grow light, which will allow you to place your plant anywhere. Grow lights will ensure your plant gets enough light to remain healthy and happy.</p>

<p>When Carl Rittner opened his School of Floral Design in Boston, he had the vision of teaching students to take designing flowers to a whole new level. Considered a champion of the industry and a pioneer in the field, Rittner's students wished to honor him in a special way, and they began to observe Floral Design Day on February 28th, Rittner' birthday. In 1995 the mayor of Boston made the day an official holiday for the city, but the idea has since spread across the United States. Talented floral professionals right here in Los Angeles daily create works of art in a living medium, making life just a little more beautiful.&nbsp;<span id="more-918"></span><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-921" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/02/an-267x300.jpg" alt="designing flowers" width="267" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/02/an-267x300.jpg 267w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/02/an.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px"><br>
Floral design through the centuries has reflected the culture and society of the era. To this day, the bouquets and arrangements are designed in styles reminiscent of the past. For instance, in Victorian times flowers were used to send secret messages. Because each flower meant something specific, large lavish bouquets of mixed flowers were commonplace. Today, an unkempt wildflower arrangement would resemble&nbsp;a floral design of those times. Another popular design today. that of tropical flowers in modern designs can be traced back to the Art Deco era (approximately 1925). Sharp lines and geometric angles were all the rage in the art world, which influenced design of all kinds.</p>
<p>The Art Nouveau movement also looked to geometric shapes for inspiration but concentrated on the characteristic 'violent curves' and movement captured in the design. Curvaceous containers, soft petaled flowers such as orchids, and natural elements such as curly willow add to the fluid feel of the design, with none of the sharp linear aspect of the prior style. &nbsp;Another influence on orchid and exotic flower design is the Japanese discipline of ikebana.</p>
<p>Designing flowers today is a truly artistic endeavor that incorporates influences from all times and places. Whether you prefer the lavish romance of the wildflowers, or the delicate movement of the orchid branch, you can trust the experts at <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> to create the perfect design.</p>
