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. > click for more

< 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. >

easier to say! They are very popular with style gurus for their sculptural elegant
shape. Their long leafless stems are flexible; florists love them for this reason
as they can be entwined over and around other flowers, for a very stylish and
sensual arrangement. > click for
