< 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.

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.
