Autumn flowers: which flowers to send as a gift

The wind has begun to blow again and the shy leaves exhale their last breath before falling dry on wet ground. This is the first sign heralding the onset of a new season: autumn. The holidays are over and with them goes the laid-back vibe of summer, giving way to a more subdued day-to-day atmosphere. But don’t fret! Our flower friends are always here to cheer us up with their vibrant colours and captivating fragrances.

Autumn sees the blossoming of flowers that emulate the shades of the earth, from orange to red and from brown to yellow, which have the challenging task of brightening up our days and, above all, the days of those we love. If you’re wracking your brains over what to give as a gift on a special occasion, don’t despair. If you don’t feel like buying the same old thing – the usual bag, purse or wallet –, a bouquet of autumn flowers will do the job and make your gift unique to boot.

Below we recommend some of the autumn flowers you can send a special friend as a gift at this time of year:

• Roses: Roses are well received at any time of year. In autumn, besides red ones, you can give orange roses as a gift, in keeping with the colours of the leafless trees.
• Lilies: Though these flowers are more abundant in spring you can also give them as a gift in autumn, conveying elegance and cheeriness.

• Autumnal cyclamens: Belonging to the cyclamen family yet, unlike them, they grow in autumn. Perfect for decorating balconies on buildings.
