Be Autumn colours

 


As the Autumn equinox approaches, the temperatures have dropped. Now we're experiencing chilly nights and foggy days with a frosty nip outside. It's getting darker. So best keep warm by more than just sticking on heater, fixing a fireplace or hot water bottles. Using various colours and decorations inside can make someone feel more uplifted and comfortable. Indoor plants for Autumn, as the vibrant colours reflect the season's natural foliage change. Leaves of different orange, red, brown and golden hues are beautiful, and the same colours of clothes, indoors, food and cosmetics gives a sense of cosiness. Apart from looking like Autumn, it's healthy to feel Autumn and this means staying warm inside.

Lady's slipper orchids are speckled and reddish flowers. Having these about your home and office, whether real or fake, can give a pleasant Autumn grace. Other plants include Vriesea orange, fiery coloured Crotons, burgundy Calathea, deep magenta Begonia, Snake Plant, colourful Widows-thrill flowers and Philodendron that seems okay with the darkness.

For edible Autumn healing herbs, try to consume sage, mint, thyme, dill, oregano, ginger, parsley, rosemary, basil, bay, horseradish, star anise, garlic and lemon balm. They can be cooked, or brewed. Then there are the Autumn fruits and vegetables, including apples, figs, pears, grapes, nuts, blackberries, redcurrants, carrots, fennel, tomatoes, aubergine, onions, tomatoes, plums, potatoes, turnips, peppers, lettuce, sweetcorn, beetroot, beans, mushrooms, parsnips, pumpkin, radish, broccoli, shallots, suede, leeks, kale, cauliflower and celery. 

My favourite Autumn fragrances: Pumpkin spice, vanilla and ginger.

Warm Autumn gems: Fire opal, citrine, carnelian. emeralds, sapphires, garnets, topaz, rubies, tourmaline and amber.
