With so many flowers to choose from to feature, this week i thought i would go out on a limb and choose the Kangaroo Paw. (Anigozanthos manglesii), (Anigozanthos flavidus), (Macropidia fuliginosa) or Mangle's
The flowers are native to Australia and their strong stems make a perfect perch for birds. The blossoms come in a few colors and are fuzzy to the touch. In a vase of clean water, they will last up to 2 weeks. I like to use them in more structured designs. Their unique shapes compliment basket and tray designs. Remember to follow the flow of the stem.
