Sometimes called the Australian sword lily.
Kangaroo
Paws are another unique flower from Australia. The stems come from an
evergreen perennial native to Australia that is leafless. The colors
that the flowers come in are yellow, red/green, and orange.
They have become popular in recent years in flower arrangements and even in gardening for their very unique flowers. Why they are called Kangaroo Paws should be fairly obvious, as the flowers mimic the shape of a kangaroo's small paw. The vase life of Kangaroo Paws is average to good, 7-14 days usually. |
Like many long stemmed flowers, Snapdragons at times grow all curvy. (Which sometimes is a fun look) There's a super simple trick to getting the stems to stand straight-as-a-board: 1. Clip off about two inches from the bottom of the stem and place in your vase of water. 2. Pinch off a nubbins from the top tip of the flower. (About a fourth inch.) 3. Let the stems soak in the water for a few hours. After that- you'll see how straight the stems become. It's magical! We sell flowers from our coolers that you can take home and arrange yourself.
