Colorado’s Red Capitol
Colorado natives who have visited the state capitol building in Denver will surely have seen the “Beulah red” marble that graces the structure’s interiors and ceiling. According to 50States.com, the marble’s installation took six years from 1894-1900. The world’s entire supply of Beulah red marble was put into the building, making each stone irreplaceable.
To create a flower arrangement that symbolizes Colorado’s name and special marble, consider red flowers. There are many varieties that come in red such as alstroemeria, hypericum berries, gerber daisies, spray roses, tulips, carnations, gladiolas, lilies and dahlias. In addition to cut flowers, mums, geraniums, coleus, and begonias are annual plants that come in the ruby hue. Cyclamen, Christmas cactus, and poinsettias are indoor plants that are available in red.
The most well known scarlet flower, however, has to be the red rose. The red rose is a symbol of love, and is often sold by the dozen. Whether arranged in a vase or delivered in a wrapped bouquet with baby’s breath and greenery, a red rose will always send the message of affection.
Red Rocks
As its name suggests, Red Rocks Park, is a famous outcropping of red sandstone. It is located in Jefferson County, Colorado in the city of Denver. This popular hiking, biking, and running destination is also the site of the Red Rocks Amphitheater which hosts top-notch musical acts. The formation of Creation Rock, Ship Rock, and Stage Rock in the park create a natural acoustic space for musicians to perform, but long ago acted as a barrier from the elements for the Ute Native American tribe.
Now that you know the red floral varieties, there are certain occasions that lend themselves to this color palate. Choose red for wedding anniversary flowers to show the one you love that you cherish that special day. Red roses paired with stargazer lilies, hydrangea, and accent flowers will impress. Valentine’s Day is another celebration typically associated with red flowers. Send one, two, or three-dozen red roses arranged in a premium glass vase with baby’s breath and fancy greenery like seeded eucalyptus for a stunning presentation. Around Christmas time you will also see lots of rosy colored decorations. Plants and flowers in red in white make welcomed hostess gifts or centerpieces for your holiday feast.
