Flower trends for the prom: Two popular styles are wrist corsages and small hand-held nosegays (and they look great with strapless dresses!). Popular flowers are mini (or sweetheart) roses, standard roses, dendrobium orchids, alstroemeria lilies, mini carnations and other small flowers such as cornflowers and freesia.
Where flowers come from:The abundant varieties you see in flower shops today come from growers all over the world - Europe, Australia, Africa, South America, the United States and more. More flowers are available now than ever before and modern shipping technology allows product fresh from the field to be transported to the marketplace in a matter of hours. Flowers become fruits: For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape. After fertilization, a flower develops into a fruit containing the seed(s).
