Rice Flower
Rice flower has become a popular flower over the past 10 years. When in bud the flowers look like large rice grains, hence the name. The small flowers occur in clusters of up to 100 at the ends of the branches. The leaves are small and linear in shape. Rice flower is used as a floral filler, in much the same way as Gypsophila, it is long lasting in the vase and complements other, more flamboyant flowers.
Rice Flower aka Ozothamnus is from the Greek word "ozo", to smell and "thamnos", a shrub, referring to the smelly foliage and the species diosmifolius refers to having leaves like the genus Diosma.
Other common names for this species include White Dogwood, Pill Flower and Sago Bush
This is a nice filler for this time of year. Check our availability on this flower, but very popular and always available for weddings in the spring.
