Why Choose Native Flowers?
Australia’s native flowers thrive in our climate and often require less water and maintenance than more exotic varieties, making them an eco-friendly option. Native flowers also hold cultural significance, adding a unique and personal touch to your arrangements. Their vibrant colours and unusual shapes can make any bouquet stand out, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or just to brighten someone’s day.
Common Australian Native Flowers
Waratah (Telopea speciosissima)
The Waratah, with its bold red blooms, is a symbol of strength and beauty. Its large, dramatic flowers are show-stoppers in any arrangement. Waratahs are perfect for adding a splash of colour and can serve as the centrepiece of your bouquet.
Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos spp.)
Kangaroo Paws have velvety flowers that come in bright hues like red, yellow, and green. Their distinctive shape, resembling a kangaroo’s paw, adds an element of intrigue to bouquets. They are great for adding height and drama to floral arrangements.
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.)
Eucalyptus leaves and flowers are staples in native arrangements. Eucalyptus is often used as a filler but can also stand alone beautifully in minimalist designs and bouquets.
