I am looking for ideas for floral arrangements made with locally available material in the winter. I live in Pennsylvania, and nothing is blooming now. I prefer not to purchase imported flowers. Yet, I like to have arrangements all year around. I would love to read and see ideas. I am posting an image of a fall arrangement of mine.

Anita, Your arrangement is beautiful. I've seen people use fruit and or vegetables in their floral arrangements.

Hello Anita,
Welcome to the cut flowers forum! Thankyou for posting your arrangement, I agree with the others, it is beautiful.
I like your whole set up, with the background colour and the complementary green coloured vase.
You've got a nice movement going on within the design. Thankyou for showing us this one, we are hungry for arrangements here, do you have anymore?!!!
Please join in with any of the threads, we are always happy to meet other arrangers and to share ideas!

I too just discovered this forum and am happy that every once and a while I get out of my "mold" and look at what other new forums have been created. That arrangement is beautiful and I have just been peeking here for a few minutes and have already learned a whole new wealth of information.
