Over the past few years, the exotic has not left the trends of floristry, so unusual flowers are gradually shifting the focus of attention to themselves. Rare plants make flower bouquets more interesting, especially when combined with classic garden ones. The florists of the MyGlobalFlowers store have compiled a list of the most unusual flowers in the world here.
Orchid
The exotic flower looks extraordinary: the asymmetrical shape of the buds, as if randomly located on the branches, is softened by the smooth lines of the petals. In floristry, only one species of the Orchid family is common – phalaenopsis. Despite the reputation of a capricious plant, it is successfully grown not only in greenhouses, but also at home on the windowsill. It is difficult to be indifferent to orchids, so giving a delivery of a bouquet with orchids will be a great surprise for a loved one.
Delphinium
An unusual and beautiful flower resembles a spikelet directed to the sky in shape. There are more than 350 species of delphinium in the world, among which there are simple, double and semi-double buds. The color scheme of the plant is no less diverse – the delphinium comes in all possible shades, from turquoise to pink, for which florists doubly love it. The inflorescences of the cold palette are especially popular. Such unusual flowers are chosen for elongated bouquets, combined with roses, hydrangeas and clematis.
Protea
Perhaps, protea is the most unusual flower in the world: when you see it for the first time, you don’t even immediately understand whether the flower is in front of you or the fruit. The African plant is especially popular with florists, because with such a unique inflorescence any composition becomes alien. Most often in bouquets, the artichoke protea performs the function of the main flower. It is simply impossible to find a protea in a street flower shop, due to the rarity of this flower, but turning to flower delivery is a great option.
Hydrangea
An ornamental plant with large openwork inflorescences looks very beautiful: delicate pink, purple and blue “clouds” evoke a feeling of weightlessness. The unusual flower got its name because of the love of water. Translated from the Latin “hydrangea” means “a vessel with water.” Hydrangeas are included in large complex compositions, complementing them with elegant garden plants: roses, peonies and ranunculi. Mono-bouquets of “airy” flowers are simply amazing. Florists combine hydrangeas of different shades, but similar saturation.
Anthurium
The name “anthurium” is found in almost every rating with unusual flowers for bouquets. And this is not surprising because anthurium can hardly be called an ordinary plant, if only because of its shape – a small “bowl” with an ear in the center looks really amazing. The bold beauty of the flower symbolizes the masculine principle, so anthurium is often chosen “for him”.
Do not be afraid to experiment: create original combinations of colors and decor for your loved ones. And if you find it difficult to find unusual flowers, it is best to buy flowers online.
