Though woodflowers.com deals in wooden sola wood flowers, we, as true nature lovers, always appreciate the beauty and existence of natural blooms.

Autumn also marks the loss of leaves and energy storage by trees and many plants in preparation for the harsh, often disastrous winter. Autumn's unique earth tones are linked to a plant process known as leaf senescence, in which trees' brilliant green leaves change to warm colors as they prepare to shed their foliage and become naked.
