Switzerland has over 60,000 kilometres of well maintained and historic walking tracks span the Swiss Alps with tracks suiting all hikers. From Mid-June to Mid-August the lush valleys and mountain fields explode into a myriad of wildflower colours. Even if you miss the fields of flowers, you will not be disappointed with what the Swiss Alps have to share with you. Your eyes will give you a hug (not literal) for indulging them in the huge variety of wildflower colours, from blue, to purple, yellow to pink, green to white and all many more shades.

A few of the Alpine flowers are endangered, much more are protected, and a couple of them are poisonous! So follow the Swiss Alp’s national park motto: Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints on marked trails! While you explore the pristine wilderness, you may see a few flowers including Orchids, Gentians, Daisies, Rhododendron’s, Bell-flowers, buttercups, Saxifraga, Alpine rock Jasmine and of course, Switzerland’s national flower the Edelweiss. (plus a whole lot more!)

Western Australia is the place to see in Australia for flower lovers. Western Australia is home to over 12,000 species of flowers with sixty percent of these flowers can only be found here. Everlastings are native to Western Australia where they carpet massive areas of the countryside, roadsides and gardens during the spring. Kings Park in Perth is an excellent place to see a lot of Western Australia’s native flowers, including the Everlastings and the park, is located very close to the city, perfect for a day trip.

Everlastings are very hardy and adaptable and can spring up anytime the conditions suit. Flowering period lasts 4 to 10 weeks and the best time to see these beautiful fields of flowers in the wild is between August and November. Check out our Australian Wildflowers for more.

For a simple, yet elegant arrangement, you can go for white calla lilies in a clear vase with green tropical foliage. This display creates a beautiful and eye-catching focal point for either your entry foyer or living room. Alternatively, if you want to hide the roots, you can either remove them totally or use an opaque vase. Blue or copper colours go well with white flowers.

Use regular mason jars neatly covered with delicate lace and natural fibre wraps to instantly elevate the overall look of your floral display. What we love about this arrangement is that it exudes a chic yet bohemian, summery charm all at once. Incorporating blooms of varying sizes, shapes, and textures helps the arrangement’s visual interest and creates an eye-catching finish. For the wrap beneath the lace, this arrangement uses hessian cloth, but you can opt for any other type of natural fibre you prefer or that’s most accessible to you, including raffia, hemp, or even palm fibres.

This is not your typical rose bouquet arrangement. Designed to show off your beautiful roses in a more striking and unconventional way, this display is guaranteed to grab everyone’s attention. As a bonus, it also creates a perfect Instagrammable spot right in the middle of your own home, saving you precious time traipsing around the city in search of a visually interesting place to take a photo.

Unique and versatile, this hanging flower display works great both indoors and outdoors. Whether you want to liven up your veranda or add a bit of unexpected whimsy to your garden, this arrangement is perfect for both. You could even opt for something more permanent in your home by attaching the bottles to a wood plank at varying lengths and then fixing the plank to the roof beams of your dining area or kitchen. This would work best in rooms with high ceilings.

To conclude our list, we’re going all the way out with this majestic floral display! This arrangement will work well on your dining room sideboard, in the foyer – perhaps atop a console table – and even on a very sturdy coffee table in the middle of your living room,

Let’s face it (pun intended), this little guy didn’t take a whole lot of imagination to name; “Dracula” because of it’s two long, fang-like petals and “simia” for its resemblance to primates. The two dark little eyes, fuzzy dotted eyebrows, and furry little nose and beard area bear striking simian similarities that become even more apparent when viewed from a distance.
The Monkey Face Orchid is rare oddity so don’t get upset if you’ve never seen one before. It is only found in the cloud forests of Peru and southeastern Ecuador at altitudes of more than 3,000 feet. It can bloom all year round, and its flowers smell like ripe oranges, making it a prized addition to any orchid connoisseurs garden.
