"Orange is the happiest color." Frank Sinatra

I think my favorite color to use in the summer and fall is a deep rich orange. Orange just pops in photography. When added to royal blue, deep purple, rich red and bright yellow- orange turns the color palette into a rainbow of stunning hues. Orange, red and yellow makes for a show stopping fall combination.

My Favs: Orange Unique, Circus and Tropical Amazon roses, dahlia, hypericum, aranda and mokara orchids, gerbera daisy, Mango calla, tulips

"Oh! `darkly, deeply, beautifully blue',
As someone somewhere sings about the sky."
Lord Byron

Blue is the rarest color for flowers. Not many plants and flower sport this heavenly hue. Gardeners have prized this color over all others for centuries. Even with all of the advances in science the blue rose eludes plant geneticists to this day.

Pair a light powdery blue with a host of soft pastel pinks, yellows, lavenders and green for the ultimate is springtime splendor. Deep, dark blue becomes mysterious when coupled with purple and burgundy.

"The yellow one is the sun!" Brian Regan

Yellow is an under-used color in wedding flowers. I love yellow flowers. They inject a feeling of fun and whimsy into a wedding.

When paired with pink, red and orange yellow completes a sunset themed color palette. Lemon Yellow, sherbet orange and lime green gives a summer wedding a color theme good enough to eat.
My favs: tulips, roses, orchids, spider mums, callas, gerbera daises, sunflowers

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."
Alice Walker

Purple is the color of royalty and riches. Purple can be mysterious, sexy, intimate and deeply romantic.

To evoke a rich feeling pair purple with the jewel tones of ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald green and a dash of gold or silver. To give purple a icy, wintry feeling couple it with platinum, lavender, white and light blue. Purple can be shocking and playful when used with orange, red and yellow.

My favs:
Vanda, dendrobium and phaelopsis orchids, lisianthus, stock, trachelium, gladiola, sweet peas, freesia, kale, and Moongene carnations.

" My colors are "blush" and "bashful." " Shelby in Steel Magnolias



Light pink is such a soft and romantic color. I love to use blush pink mixed with bright green to give arrangements a fresh spring like look. Mixed with taupe and champagne light pink will add a sultry and rich undertone. Add chartreuse and sherbet orange and light pink becomes fun and flirty.

My favs:
Peony, Charming Unique and Candy Bianca roses, lisianthus, cymbidium orchids, dahlias, Princess dendrobium orchids, ranunculas and sweet peas.
