Freesia is a genus of flower belonging to the Iris family (Iridaceae).
Flowers usually referred to as freesias are Common Freesias, Freesia corymbosa, which are native to the Cape of Good Hope.
Its flower is strongly scented so it makes a nice addition to any area.
They have five to 10 single or double flowers, stems are usually 10 to 18 inches long with little or no foliage.

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.
Traditionally daffodil flower has a golden yellow color all over, but its 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. |
