Georgia Peaches

Georgia is often synonymous with peaches. These yellow fleshed delicacies are enjoyed the country over in pies, ice cream, cobblers, or raw as a healthy snack. Peaches were introduced to Georgia’s soil by Franciscan monks in 1571, and the Cherokee Indians continued to grow the crop through the 1700s. Then in 1851, Raphael Moses began to market, sell, and ship peaches outside of the South. The Elberta peach became the most desirable because of its ability to be shipped in cooled train cars, and although it is the most famous, it is now one of more than 4o varieties of peaches commercially available today.

Peach colored flower varieties will instantly remind the recipient of a delicious Georgia peach. Flowers that come in this hue include roses, spray roses, peonies, stock, carnations, mini carnations, gerber daisies, lisianthus, and ranunculus. Also, choosing an arrangement with a natural or wildflower look to it will be reminiscent of a grove of peach trees. To create a natural feel, consider branches, wispy flowers, and lots of varieties of greenery. This type of arrangement would be great for get well flowers or thank you flowers.

Stone Mountain, Georgia

The town of Stone Mountain Georgia is about 10 miles outside of Atlanta and shares its name with the mountain it sits beneath. The mountain is an 825-foot tall dome-shaped monadnock, meaning it is an isolated mountain. It is made of solid granite, and was mined in 1869. Like Mount Rushmore, Stone Mountain has a carving on its face. Did you know that it is actually the world’s largest sculpture? This work of art has attracted some controversy, as it features Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Generals Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Lee’s horse, Traveler. It was even mentioned in Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, when he said “Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.”

To select a flower arrangement that draws inspiration from this natural phenomenon, pick elements that include rock such as a marbled ceramic vase or river rocks in the bottom of a clear glass vase arrangement. Earth tones will also harken back to the looks of granite including browns, white, gray, green, rust, blue, and red, and yellow.  Types of blooms that would lend themselves nicely to an earthy flower arrangement would include thistle, yarrow, lisianthus, stock, colorful foliage, and hydrangeas.
