The trees in the mountains change color, turning red and yellow in November, making it a beautiful and colorful month.
Flower shops are also increasingly stocking fruit and branches that look like they've been taken from natural landscapes.
We'd like to introduce some autumn branches that are easy to display as interior décor and look great on their own !
Wild rose
Japanese name : Noibara
Family name : Rosaceae
Genus name : Rosa
Wild roses grow widely from Hokkaido to Kyushu.
Small white flowers bloom from May to June .
Roses that have been bred for horticultural purposes do not bear fruit, but wild roses that are close to the original species do bear fruit.
From the end of summer, flower shops begin to stock their shelves with lush green fruit.
It's so adorable to see the leaves gradually turn red as autumn deepens!
This is a piece that you will definitely want to enjoy as it changes color .
It is recommended to place it in a large vase, taking advantage of the long branches and natural flow of the stems.
When choosing in the store, choose something that is wrinkle-free and firm.
You can also dry the flowers and enjoy them for a long time, but be careful as the fruit tends to fall off if touched.
When enjoying them as fresh flowers, split the ends of the stems crosswise to increase the surface area that can absorb water.
Bell rose
Japanese name : Suzubara
Family name : Rosaceae
Genus name : Rosa
The bell rose has striking fruit that hangs down like bells.
It is a type of rose called "Rosa glauca" and blooms pale pink flowers from May to June .
They are never delivered in bloom, and are only available in stores from October to November.
It arrives bearing lots of plump red fruit.
Although they are the same type of rose fruit, they are larger and heavier than wild roses.
Another point is that it has thorns, which are not common in wild roses.
We recommend arranging the bell roses simply, taking advantage of their large, long branches.
Care must be taken when choosing a vase to prevent the weight of the fruit from causing it to tip over.
A heavy vase with a low center of gravity is best.
When arranging, split the end of the stem crosswise and place it in plenty of water.
You can also enjoy it for a long time as dried flowers.
Autumn leaves Hypericum
Japanese name : Kinshibai
Family name : Hypericaceae
Genus name : Hypericum
The hypericums you often see in florists have red or pink berries, but autumn-leaf hypericums are enjoyed for the beauty of their branches and leaves.
This is a very stylish piece with a tasteful reddish-brown gradation .
It looks great when you simply arrange autumn hypericum on its own, but by combining it with orange and yellow flowers, you can create an autumn-like arrangement that highlights the autumn leaves of the hypericum.
When choosing in the store, choose ones with leaves that are not dried out.
There may be black fruits on the plant, but you can remove them.
When arranging the flowers, split the tip of the stem crosswise or hit it with a mallet to loosen it before arranging.
raspberry
Japanese name : Raspberry
Family name : Rosaceae
Genus name : Rubus
A raspberry characterized by its maple-like leaves.
It starts to appear around early summer and is a great bright green leafy vegetable in summer.
In autumn, the leaves become a little hard and turn red and appear on store shelves.
The beautiful gradation from green to reddish brown blends naturally with flowers and fruits.
When selecting in the store, choose ones with leaf edges that are not discolored.
It comes in a length so you can cut it to your desired length and display it.
Autumn leaves snow willow
Japanese name : Yukiyanagi
Family name : Rosaceae
Genus name : Spiraea
The natural movement of the branches of the snow willow is beautiful.
The softly spreading branches are voluminous even on their own, adding a touch of elegance to any autumn flower shop.
The snow willow has autumn leaves from October to November , but it also blooms small white flowers from winter to spring.
With its refreshing green leaves in summer, this branch is useful almost all year round.
When choosing at the store, choose ones that don't have loose leaves.
The leaves are small and dry easily, so they may fall off.
When decorating at home, it is best to avoid areas such as the dining room or kitchen.
To increase the surface area that comes into contact with water, split the tip of the stem into a cross shape before arranging.
