Alstroemeria
Common names: alstroemeria, Peruvian lily, Inca lily.
Alstroemeria, commonly called Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, is a South American
genus of about 50 species of flowering plants, mainly from cool, mountainous regions
in the Andes.
Main stems of these cut flowers are 2 to 3 feet long branching into four to six
short pedicels; each holding two to four flower buds.
Many hybrids plus about 190 cultivars have been developed, with different markings
and colors, ranging from white, golden yellow, orange, to apricot, pink, red,
purple or lavender.
The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular with florists for
bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade.
They have a vase life of up to two weeks. |
Daffodil
Common names: Daffodil, narcissus, jonquil.
Daffodils form a group of large-flowered members of genus Narcissus.
Six outer petals surround a cup creating a trumpet-style look of this cut flower.
Some stems produce one flower; others produce clusters.
Outer petals are yellow or white; cups may be white, yellow, orange or salmon,
some have an orange edge.
The traditional daffodil has a golden yellow color all over, but the corona may
often feature a contrasting color.
Breeders have developed some daffodils with a double or triple row of petals,
making them resemble a small golden ball. Other cultivars have frilled petals,
or an elongated or compressed central corona.
Special care: Daffodils secrete a sap that can harm other flowers if not properly
conditioned. If mixed with other flowers, do not recut as you will cause sap to
be released again. |
