ANEMONE With their dark centers, these blooms have so much personality and can easily dominate an arrangement or flower crown. If you are looking for an amazing statement flower in the late fall, this is it.

DAFFODIL There is something so cheerful about a bright yellow daffodil in the midst of the late fall and winter temperatures. These are always an instant pick-me-up!
DAHLIA When peony season is over, the dahlia is a great go-to for fuller flower arrangements. Smaller dahlias also look amazing when used as statement flowers in a crown -- but they do tend to wilt easily, so handle with care.
DELPHINIUM There aren’t too many blue flowers out there, so delphiniums are great if you’re looking to incorporate blues and purples; they can range from light powdery blue to vibrant purple.
GLOBE AMARANTH I love to use these vivid pink and purple pom pom flowers in my crowns and arrangements. They don’t wilt easily, so if you are looking to make a flower crown that lasts a few days, these are a great option.
MUMS This fall staple comes in so many pretty colors; I love to shop for the local mums at the New York flower market. Whole Foods also carries a great variety of mum plants for my terrace at home.
