I'm no floral artist but having lots of varied containers is ideal because I love having flowers indoors. Be like the florists and trim the pollen-covered anthers off lilies' stamens so they don't shed and make a mess. I'm somewhat ambivalent about having dahlias indoors, despite their usefulness because they bloom late summer through autumn, often when most of the flower garden is looking a bit tired. None lasts especially well indoors, so unless I'm desperate for extra colour, mine tend to be left in the garden. For foliage variety, try bells of Ireland, euphorbia, honesty, honeywort (Cerinthe major), love-in-a-mist or feverfew, especially the golden form.
