Fall Flowers & Gifts

Fall flowers bring the colors of the season to a friend's table, a parent's porch or a coworker's desk. Choose sunflower bouquets, mum centerpieces, rose-filled vases or potted mums, each one put together by hand by a local florist near the recipient.

Autumn flowers suit birthdays, hostess gifts and Thanksgiving alike. The guide below covers which blooms say fall, how to pick a palette and a format, and how to keep a fall bouquet fresh once the heat comes on.
