I have an old dried arrangement with them in it and absolutely love the texture it adds to a bouquet. They are almost like a billy ball, but greenish pink. I am looking to include it in my wedding bouquets, but have asked numerous florists and no one seems to be able to identify it. Does anybody know what they are called?

In response to PJ - one way to make hot pink and orange flowers look less tropical is to use a modern container for guest tables - like this ceramic cube from Jamali Gardens- <a href="http://www.jamaligarden.com/pID_16970.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamaligarden.com/pID_16970.asp</a> Another idea is to break it up with white - like using ornithogolum which are white with black centers. Or add a larger-headed flower like a bold dahlia. Matte grosgrain ribbon can give the bridal bouquet a preppy feel. Good luck! ink & peat popping over to say hi!

To keep it from looking too tropical or rustic you can 1. Do not use greenery, stick with the bright florals only. 2. Do not use fruit, berries or pods. 3. Use matching colored satin ribbon, containers, and trim. A comment to PJ’s post:

Do you think those could be used in a way that would make them more black-tie appropriate and less tropical looking? My wedding is next Memorial Day weekend, and I'm looking into how to incorporate bright color without making it look too much like a luau or garden party. We're planning a very fancy affair. Thanks!
