An extraordinary quest

Eryngium, also known as the 'sea holly' or thistle, is a true eye-catcher thanks to its striking and intriguing structure. The flowers form a beautiful spherical cluster, surrounded by bracts. It's these pointed, spiky bracts that not only have a unique visual appeal but also serve as a protective shield for the flower. The vase life of these Eryngium cut flowers is 10-14 days.

Adding Eryngium to a bouquet not only creates a visual contrast but also adds a tactile dimension, complementing softer and more delicate flowers with the rugged texture of Eryngium. Eryngium isn't just an aesthetic addition, it also carries symbolic meanings. This flower is associated with protection, strength, and courage, stemming from its prickly appearance and resilient character.

Would you go for the grand Magnetar or the more subtle Orion? Or do you prefer the white Sirius, the popular Aquarius, or perhaps the distinctive green-tipped Supernova? And have you seen the new Scorpius? The choices are abundant, and there are new varieties coming soon!
