Wheat - Perfect for the Fall!

It's a great green for the fall season and would look perfect on your Thanksgiving table!  Some say a wheat-harvest is an advancing state of "love and charity."

Skyline's Vice President, Tom Golberg, gave us some insight into wheat.  He says it grows from seeding to harvest in about 65 to 80 days depending on the weather and that wheat when it grows is green.  

If you dry the wheat in a dark area it will dry green.  However, if the wheat is dried in the sun it will dry golden brown. After the wheat is dried, it can be dip dyed (submerged in dye).  When the wheat is fresh (green) it can be dyed orange, red and blue. The wheat is put in the buckets with the dye and the dye is then absorbed through the stems. 

Either way, wheat is a wonderful green to have this time of year.  Whether you display it alone or with other flowers, it's sure to  lively up your home or office.
