Summer is a great time to uncover colorful flowers to make cheerful arrangements for your property. Take advantage of this flowering season by selecting flowers in a selection of colors, shapes, and sizes, such as the ones listed below:

• Teddy Bear Sunflowers - a tiny version of the original sunflower. It grows to 3 feet in height.
  
• Dahlias - a cheery plant of the daisy family that has full blooms that can reach 10 inches in diameter.
  
• Scented Geranium Leaves - this plant has sculpted leaves that are available in many scents from ginger to chocolate.
  
• Zinnias - readily available in a selection of colors and sizes and has a hearty bloom.
  
• Spray Roses - a miniature version of the rose that comes in lots of colors and scents.
  
• Perennial Salvia - a purple sprig that adds a spiky contrast to the full blooms of the other plants.

Determine on the container you want to use for your flower arrangement and fill it with water. A short bowl-like container will result in a fuller arrangement even though a tall vase will result in a thinner arrangement. Garden flowers ordinarily have thick and leafy stems which can make the water murky or cloudy. For this reason, it is finest to use an opaque container such as a ceramic bowl or vase. To design the bouquet, start by grouping the medium and sizeable flowers (Dahlias, Teddy Bear Sunflowers, and Zinnias) in your hand until you have the desired look. Stand the arrangement next to the container to gauge the proper height. Cut the stems at an angle to support the flowers stay hydrated.

When you place the medium and massive flowers in your container, tuck in the smaller flowers (Perennial Salvia and the Scented Geraniums) around the medium and huge flowers. You should now have a gorgeous flower arrangement for your residence!
