Ok, well, I know I haven’t done many blog posts {I know, I’m lame} for a while and I also haven’t done one of my favorite types of blog posts for a while, a flower trends post.

I’m not a floral expert but I do love flowers and I also love to pick out certain flowers that you see a lot but really don’t get the attention or credit that some other flowers do. It’s like they are supporting flowers where roses and peonies {or something} is the star of the bouquet. A little not fair.

For a while I’ve been admiring these

Aren’t they adorable? Now you look at them you know you have seen them before so do you know what they are?

They are Scabiosa Pods.

I think I first noticed them when Leona of Every Occasion Florist put them in a bouquet for a photo shoot we did.

{I still love that bouquet} Do you see them in there? And don’t ask me what everything else is. That’s another blog post! but they add such a nice texture and contrast.

Here are a few more arrangements and bouquets I came across that had Scabiosa pods in them.

How about this gorgeous green and white arrangement by Botanic Art, and this one

They can be used in lighter colored bouquets and arrangements too

and this lovely I saw on Floral Verde

Scaboisa are also perfect for buttonholes and boutonnieres

and finally, I loved this bouquet so had to show it to you.

It’s very much a modern take on the old cascade bouquet but so fresh and relaxed feeling. And I’m sorry, I don’t know where I found this image so if anyone contacts me I’m happy to give credit where due.

So that’s it for me for now. I hope you like your little flower lesson and if you are doing something a little quirky, scabiosa pods will fit in nicely so surprise your florist and ask for them by name!
