Colorful foliage and frost on the pumpkin can only mean October is here! Orange is the color of the month and fresh flowers can help you celebrate football tailgates and Halloween parties. Find your favorite team's helmet and use as a backdrop. Choose carnations and chrysanthemums to show your colors and team spirit. It will make a great tailgate centerpiece. Pumpkins large and small make super containers for fresh flowers. Yellow carnations and bronze mums can spill out of the top of a carved pumpkin turned on its side. Want something special for your Halloween party? For individual place settings, start with a small gourd or pumpkin as your vase. Cut a slice off the bottom to make sure they stand flat on a table and fill with few fresh flowers. Want something a bit more elegant? Orange lilies in a crystal vase can dress up even the most country pumpkin standing alongside!
