Euphorbia>

Euphorbia fulgens is a little known cut flower in the UK, but very popular on the Continent. It is a close relative of the poinsettia, but you would never guess from its appearance unless you looked very closely. Euphorbia fulgens has long, elegantly curved branches with tiny pointed leaves the whole length. These are densely interspersed with red, orange, yellow, salmon pink or white flowers, shaped just as a child would draw a flower. Euphorbia fulgens is available at Christmas like its more traditional relative the poinsettia.

< Anthurium

Anthuriums are once-seen, never-forgotten flowers! They have an unmistakable glossy heart-shaped flower bract, which gives them their popular name of painter's palette. This bract surrounds the true flowers, which are in the form of a spike or spathe at the centre. Their rich, smooth glossy texture makes anthuriums perfect for the Dressing Up trend. They are a very longlasting cut flower and a great talking point too.
