Ep 29 - Lisianthus

Lisianthus or 'Lizzies' to the flower trade - what a twirling, fluttering and unfurling little flower.     

Paulie shares his fun and factual tips on how wonderful these little beauties are for weddings, bouquets and frankly any vase you like!  Even Lucy uses these as they are readily available in her local supermarket as well. 

Inexpensive to buy in the supermarket or corner shop Lisianthus in shades of pink, purple and in creams and whites they can be paired with all kinds of other star performers such as peonies, roses or stocks and yet are also capable of stealing the show on their own. And they last for a long, long time. 

Sometimes known as 'Prairie Gentlemen' or a 'Poor Mans Rose' - you can see way, as they have wistful, fluttering petals that unfurl in a roselike way and they herald from hot parries and barren deserts. 

For the Floriography Fun Facts this week these flowery lovelies focus on Ivy.  With its historical references and Celtic drama - theres really so much intertwining the Ivy plant.  It symbolises not only friendships but also marital bliss and can be found through history, especially in Ireland, on monument stones dating back through hundreds of years. You'll be amazed. 

And, as if all that isn't enough, Paulie and Lucy honour the memory of Remembrance Day this November and uncover some fascinating and moving facts about the Poppy.  This delicate and fragile flower has ing been associated with Remembrance Sunday and you'll learn who was behind its initial use and why.  There'e even a rendition of a classic poem 'In Flanders Fields' to round off this rather poignant and memorable episode.

It's such a great way to pass 20 minutes with this Fabulous Flowers tv duo whenever you can.  But particularly in November when the Remembrance Poppy is so key.   Make time, sit back and relax and enjoy this uplifting and rather moving episode with  Lucy & Paulie.  

Let this two flowery twosome bring a little joy and colour into your day and leave you with a smile on your face and florally in better shape all round!
