Current Featured Flowers - October 2019

This month, The Fresh Cut Flower of the Month Club brings you a bouquet that when dried, is every bit as stunning as the first day you arrange it in the vase! At the heart of this exotic, yet durable arrangement is two very different varieties of Hawaiian Proteas, Pink Ice Latifolia and Safari Sunset. Although both proteas, you'll quickly note that these two flowers quite different from each other. When properly cared for, your proteas stay looking fresh for weeks!

The name Protea is derived from the Greek god, Proteus, who could assume different shapes. Appropriate indeed as the colorful protea flowers themselves come in such a wide variety of shapes and colors, from tiny dwarf flowers to shrubs and trees and can range in size from two to twelve inches in diameter! Discovered several centuries ago in South Africa, these flowers are now also being grown in California. We've rounded the Pink Ice and Safari Sunset Proteas with an accent of Mill Wheat to bring home the Fall season! Enjoy this exotic, long lasting bouquet in the vase and then read our accompanying newsletter to find out exactly how to dry it so that its beauty lives on indefinitely!
