We had a small 14 person Christmas party last night, and I wanted flowers for the house, so I went to the greenhouse and cut enough for 2 arrangements. Everyone was floored by them (they have never been inside my greenhouse) and I had a few queries about the possibility if people purchasing flowers from me!! Now that would be an interesting sideline....flowers by the stem.

The flowers included in these arrangements were:

Heliconia stricta "Carli's Sharonii"

Heliconia "Tropica"

Heliconia "Richmond Red"

Heliconia "Jamaican Orange Thing"

Etlingera elatior "Red Torch"

Etlingeria elatior "Pink Torch" (immature bloom)

Alpinia purpurata "Ginoza"

Alpinia purpurata "Eileen McDonald"

Alpinia purpurata "Red Cone"

Gloxinia "Bolivian Sunset" (from the yard)

Ti Leaf "Red Sister" (from the yard)

Ti Leaf "Pue ele ele" (fron the yard)
