Name That Plant!

Need ID of cut flowers

12 years ago

Yesterday I received a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers in a vase. I'm wondering if anyone can ID any of them so I can determine whether they'd do well in our yard. I'd like to add more cutting flowers to the garden this year.

The ones I can't ID include:

1 - the purple daisy-like flowers (Aster ?? they are darker and a little larger than they appear in the photo)

2 - the white and yellow Lily (which type and name?)

3 - the tiny magenta flowers in the lower right with the needle-like foliage.

Here's a shot of the bouquet....

... and here's a close-up of the beautiful yellow Lily...

#3 looks like Chamelaucium uncinatum (Geraldton Waxflower).

Thank you, I found it on-line and looks exactly like it.

#1 could be Boltonia.

The link works just fine. It's Black Cherry, a J & P floribunda introduction from approx 3 years ago. Here's a link to their site. I don't grow it but I've heard good things about it. Kathy Here is a link that might be useful: Black Cherry at J&P site

Thank you. I'll be sure to use that forum when I need ID assistance again. The area where this flower is will eventually be cleared out, and I'll be putting gravel there. I've decided to try to salvage the random nice flowers that pop up there from time to time-particularly hummingbird friendly plants. A couple months ago I found some nice garden phlox and put it in a flowerbed in our yard.

I think E. corollata is probably it, there is a lot of this plant growing in this area and I have photographed it often but in apparent later stages of growth; I think the unusual appearance of the flower and the overall shape of the plant is what threw me off but looking at some of my other E. corollata photos at the base of the plant, the leaf shape and habit seem to match this. I may try to confirm this later this spring and see if I can find some more plants in the same stage of growth. Thanks all.

The aster looks like it could be a type of annual aster Callistephus chinensis. They are often used in floral arrangements.
The lily is an Asiatic type. There is no was to positively ID exactly which one.
