Fashion Flowers For Winter The New Collection : Byzantine

< Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum blooms are normal chrysanthemum varieties, which have undergone intensive and specialised growing care. Chrysanthemums are the second best-selling flower in the UK and have a reputation for being very good value, and longlasting, but not very stylish. As the Byzantine trend shows, they can actually look very glamorous.

Paphiopedilum Orchid>

Paphiopedilum orchids have one or two flowers per stem - but what flowers! Shaped like helmets with handlebar moustaches below (or indeed slippers), hairy stems, and a strange range of colours, white, yellow, green and maroon flowers, often spotted or striped.

< Bouvardia

Bouvardia's brightly coloured little star shaped flowers combine with the jewels and accessories of the Byzantine trend.

Bouvardias are certainly not common flowers; most people only come across them in wedding bouquets, where they are included for their delicate scent.

Euphorbia fulgens >

Euporbia fulgens is widely available at Christmas, and is also available right through from October to January. Like its more traditional relative the poinsettia, it adds a splash of colour at this dark time of year. Its tiny abundant flowers light up a bouquet like miniature jewels.

< Amaryllis

Deepest red amaryllis with yellow stamens give us a dramatic combination of jewel colours.

Parrot Tulip >

Parrot tulips are a highly ornamental form of tulip, their exotic forms, with striped, ruched and frilly petals - look as if they should come from a tropical island.

The colours are pretty exotic too - purple-black, apple green, raspberry ripple, peach sorbet, as well as deep intense red and bright gold.
