Lost to cultivation and believed to be extinct for nearly ninety years, Serruria florida was rediscovered in 1891. The common name, Blushing Bride, was embraced because of its traditional use in bridal bouquets and through the custom of young men wearing the flowers in their buttonholes when courting. Breathtaking blush flower heads about 1 ½” long with papery-white bracts flushed with pink. The blooms grow in clusters of up to eight on long stems with soft needle-shaped foliage which gives each branch a light, feathery appearance. 🍃🌸🌿

Hiç konuşmaz bazen gül susar,
Yaprak titrer acıyla düş yanar.
Orada, o güzel uykuda hüzün,
Büyür, büyünün sonsuzluğuna.
