One of my favorites 🤩 Strawflowers! These babies are everlasting! Strawflowers enjoy two lives. First, as a fresh, cut flower in an arrangement or bouquet. Their second life is lived in dried floral arrangements, wreaths, or other crafts!

The Pon-Pon series of Italian Ranunculus are characterized by their huge, multi-colored, ruffled blooms and thick and sturdy stems. Although they could be compared to Hydrangeas, these showstoppers last much longer! 😌 As you move towards the centre of the flower, the coloured petals have something of an identity crisis, assuming the form of leaves!! 😝🧡
