A vase filled with cut flowers is a beautiful addition to any room. Flowers can spark joy, add a touch of elegance and bring summer into your home regardless of the time of year. However, some flowers are more muted in colour than others, and while they are still beautiful, they may not be the best match for the style of your home or your personality. Bouquets saturated with vivid colours may be right at home in a room in your house, or they may offer a striking contrast to neutral colour tones in your home and create warmth and liven up a room. Here are four types of brightly coloured cut flowers for you to consider when choosing your next flower arrangement.
Zinnia
Zinnias are cheery flowers that belong to the daisy family. They provide a rich pop of colour and have a number of delicate, rounded petals on each flower head. Zinnias come in a range of bright colours including red, purple and orange. They are also available in bi-colour and tri-colour varieties, which make a striking addition to any bouquet.
Aster
Asters have long, thin petals with pointed tips and each flower head has several layers of petals. These flowers come in purple, scarlet and pink and make beautifully simple single-variety arrangements. They can also be added to bouquets with other small-headed varieties of cut flowers and a selection of greenery.
Tulip
With their large rounded petals and elegant stems, tulips are showy and unmistakable. These flowers come in several bright colours including orange, purple, red and multi-coloured varieties. A bouquet of mixed colour tulips makes a fun centrepiece for your dining table, but these flowers will look great in any room in your home.
Daffodil
Daffodils are synonymous with spring and often evoke happy memories of time spent in the garden or at a park enjoying warm weather and bright days. They have elegant trumpet-shaped flower heads, and the petals have a delicate ruffling detail around the edges. The bright yellow colour of daffodil petals contrasts well with their long green leaves, and these flowers work best in a single variety arrangement rather than forming part of a mixed bouquet. Place daffodils in a round glass vase or jug and position them where they'll get lots of natural light.
If you love brightly coloured cut flowers, ask your florist to create an arrangement for you based on some of your favourite varieties.
