There are not that many green flowers to be found!
Leaves aplenty, but not blooms.
ARC DE TRIOMPHE. Molucella or Bells of Ireland.
These two stems of Irish Bells seemed to welcome, in the form of an ARCH of TRIUMPH, the three small red roses ...
Moluccella is a genus of annual and short-lived perennial plants native to Central + southwestern Asia and the Mediterranean.
They are tall, upright, branched plants to 1 meter or more with toothed leaves and small white fragrant flowers.
Whether Moluccella is actually a flower or variety of foliage is often open to debate.
In fact, Moluccellais a member of the mint family and has a unique perfume all of its own.
Bells of Ireland, a hardy annual with flowers that never fail to impress, blooms which are the most exquisite shade of lime green.
Since Victorian times, Bells of Ireland have been considered a symbol of good luck - the perfect flower to send to someone starting a new job, or moving to a new home.
Moluccella laevis (Bells-of-Ireland, Bells of Ireland, Molucca balmis, Shellflower, Shell flower)
The second: TIDDELY-OM-POM-POM... Green Trick āTemarisouā...
Bred by Hilverda kooij in Holland, and winner of countless awards is a stylish Dianthus barbatus called Green Trick āTemarisouā
First, this is not a true carnation at all (Dianthus caryophyllus) which I thought it was judging by the leaves and stems but rather, it is a Dianthus barbatus cultivar, or Sweet William.
But a Sweet William that looks more like a ball of moss?
As far a cut flower trends go, this amazing new variety is a terrific example of how plant breeders are focusing on new lifestyle flowers that meet the needs of today's new consumer.
Short, modern containers with dense mounds of spiky green is exactly what stylists and hip florists are looking for.
There IS a trend in EVERYTHING!
