Silk flowers & what's the flower I mean?

Do you mean Anthirrium:

Some advice on Silk flowers:

Silk or Artificial flowers are becoming more & more popular for weddings & Celebrations due to the superior quality offered. Gone are the days of plastic dew drop roses in Garish colours to be replaced by flowers so botanically correct in every detail it is hard to tell the difference. Available in a vast array of colours and always in season you can have virtually any flower in any colour at anytime of year and unlike Fresh Flowers they are always in season.

If you or your Guests suffer with Hayfever they are perfect and you have no worries about allergies spoiling your big day.

You can purchase your flowers well in advance of your Big Day so no surprises or panic on the morning of the wedding if they are not what you expected.

For weddings abroad they are perfect, lightweight & easy to transport, they can be transported as hand luggage and a tried & tested method of transportation is a large Hat box which works perfectly.

The cost of silk is marginally cheaper than Fresh but due to the excellent quality of the flowers they are now becoming comparable to Fresh. The advantage of silk is that they can be kept indefinitely if they are stored or displayed correctly.

To store your Silk Flowers before your big day always use Acid Free Tissue paper & keep them in the box they arrive in, away from damp & direct Sunlight, which will fade them.

All of our flowers & foliage are of the highest quality and you will amazed at the detail on each flower making them indistinguishable from the real thing.

Having Artificial flowers means you have a lasting reminder of your Big day without the additional costs of having your Bouquet Preserved after the event. This can be costly and add to your floral budget.

Afraid not, my description really was bad though! The big bit in the middle is a big round bit ? i have a photo of one somewhere but can't find it!

Thanks for all the advice silk def seems the best choice for me :-)

Gerbera

Chrysanthemum

They are similar but not quite the ones. They have longer, thinner petals.

Sorry i'm useless with flowers!

No help whatsoever. But your description made me giggle ?

Chrysanthemum

Spider Gerbera

Haha in my head it sounded better ?

Sort of like that Sherrie but with rounded petals instead of spikey

Dahlia

or a Double Gerbera

Kind of like the second one but with longer petals! The photo is on OH iphone and he is out but I will be sure to put it on here when i can!

Sunflowers?

Marigold

Hehe not sunflowers I know them ?

They sort of look like big daisies? But orange...

These?

'Orange Blumen' apparently.

Sorry I was so intrigued by your description I went and googled orange flowers!

Any of these?

Hehe I soo want to know what this flower is!!

Has to be a Gerbera!!

There are lots of varieties so I am thinking thats what it is.

These?

'Orange daisy flower with purple centre' apparently!

I will google them and see if I can find the ones I mean, I never knew there were so many orange flowers!!

I will return with a photo hopefully........

Zinnia???

These aren't the ones but i really like them ?

Kind of like this, but the petals are much more orange and longer! The photo I have of them is from when I went to pizza express they has a single one in a vase on each table, haha maybe that helps!! ?

I really want to know what this flower is now!!!!

Sunflower??

Nope not sunflower, I must say thank you to everyone for spending your evening hunting for this flower!!

We're all dying to know which one it is!

I'm searching all of my photos on the comp but im sure we haven't put it on here from the phone. I will keep looking!

Yep definately a Gerbera, I go to Pizza Express for a Fiorentina with soft egg every week & thats what they use in their blue glass vases!!

Yay I didn't think my pizza express clue would help hehe! I will put my photo on here tomo when I can get OH phone to show the EXACT flower that I am picturing in my head!!

No help at all i'm afraid, but i've just read this thread and it cracked me up!

Hehe glad I've given a couple of you a giggle ?

Definitely! We love a good challenge! ?

The only other one that springs to mind is a bloom chrysanthemum like Tom Pearce...they sometimes have them in my Pizza Express!
