Getting to Know Cut Flowers - Bells of Ireland

Bells of Ireland - also known as Moluccela- is a member of the mint family.  It is a tall stemmed green flower which has clustered florets along its stem which resemble bells.  They're great for St. Patrick's Day but are also perfect for wedding work.  I use them "as is" when I need a tall line in a design, but I also take off the florets to work with.  They're great for boutonnieres!  Bells of Ireland are available all year around, last 7-10 days, and are a very affordable flower.

All of the designs are by Whimsical Welcomes Floral Design in Skippack. Please let me know if you have any questions.
