We were passing by a street florist on the way out of the Sutter street garage in San Francisco and were inspired by the alliums that they had to share! A modern, elegant, white angular furniture filled room with silver and lavender lighting came to mind. **tiny versions of the flowers as boutineers would be incredible!
Allium flowers grow from a bulb and make globe-shaped groups of flowers in lilac, light green, blue, white and pink. They are part of the lily family and the common names for the plant are garlic, flowering onion and onion. ***They can last from five to ten days in a vase.****
The use of this flower is endless and they can be used in the minimalist sense or in a romantic, decorative arrangement. They can range in size from smaller than an inch to the size of a pineapple and can be as small as a few inches to four feet.
All flowers are known to symbolize something. This flower symbolizes unity, humility and patience. (according to "Brides Magazine: Flower Finder").
***Warning for pet owners and animal lovers!!!***
Any plants from the allium family can be toxic to cats and dogs, according to the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association).
Thanks again and we hope these lovely flowers have inspired you.
