Kangaroo Paws

For those who are following our Design Contest, We Have A Winner! We will show her to you next week when she is ready for her photo op!

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.

Featured this week at the store. Come in for a few stems, your kids will love the unique texture and shape. Besides, how often do you have Kangaroo Paws on your table!
