Leucospermum (Pincushion) - Leucospermum, often nicknamed "Pincushion," is one of the most fascinating exotic flowers. Its fiery flowers in shades of orange and red and its unique, spiky texture make it the absolute focal point of any arrangement.
Expert Florist's View: Structure and Durability
For us florists, Leucospermum is a sculptural element. It's not a delicate flower, but a strong architectural "statement." It is prized for:
-
Texture: It gives the bouquet a dramatic, exotic, and textured look.
-
Durability: It is extremely resilient and has a very long vase life.
-
Drying: It is perfect for drying, after which it retains its shape and color.
Tip from Bára (Our Design Expert): "Leucospermum is pure exotica. For me, it's a piece of art. In luxury bouquets, I use it as a dramatic centerpiece that immediately grabs attention. It's the choice for customers who want to give something truly unusual. Plus, it's great that they can keep it as a permanent decoration after it dries."
