Spring in Australia takes place during the months of September, October and November, when the United States is celebrating fall. During these months, many wildflowers are blooming. For a beautiful flower arrangement, the red and green kangaroo paw makes a wonderful line flower. Add a red or apricot-colored banksia or red waratah flower. These large flower heads make a dramatic focal flower in your arrangement. Qualup bells' outer petals are red with a creamy pale green inner flower that will add to interest to your bouquet. Fill in the arrangement with white wax flowers.
When the United States is in the heart of winter, Australia is celebrating its summer. A vibrant display of wildflowers found in the fields of Australia could include leucospermum, a large flower with deeply orange petals resembling a pin cushion. Flannel flower’s white star-like flowers and the delicate pendant flowers of Christmas bells, which are a deep orange and yellow, add color and interest. Sweet pittosporum, with its waxy sweet yellow foliage and glossy green leaves, would make an ideal filler flower for this combination.
During the months of March, April and May, when the United States is celebrating spring, the growing season is winding down in much of Australia--but the wildflower display hasn’t ended. The large, exotic-looking protea will bloom from now into August. The flower makes a perfect focal flower for your bouquet, blooming in shades of pink, red, white or apricot. Add a few kangaroo paw flowers, which are still in bloom, to add shape to your arrangement. Fill in the empty spaces with vibrant purple callicarpa or pale pink scholtzia.
In winter, Australia has plenty of wildflowers from which to choose. Blushing bride's cream-colored petals, tinged with pink, are a favorite with brides and bloom throughout the winter in Australia. Add the vibrant pink, white or pale green pimelea or the star-shaped, pale green phyllica to accent your bouquet. The delicate waxy flowers of the Geraldton wax would complement and fill in this arrangement.
