Xmas flowers from my greenhouse

18 years ago

I made these 2 floral arrangements from greenhouse flowers yesterday for a dinner party we had last night. I had the idea to use Ti Leaves (I know, not particularly original), variegated shell ginger and ALocasia culculatta leaves for greenery instead of ferns. I think I will start doing this routinely...using some different alocasia and colocasia leaves in my bouquets. Adds a unique element!

Very Nice Bihia. I often do the same thing with my blooms, however Im not growing any of those gorgeous Heliconias like you. Are any of them relatively ground hardy outside in your area?
