Find of the Day - Green Trick Dianthis

Our "Find of the Day" is the Green Trick Carnation (aka Dianthus Barbatus Green Trick "Termarisou"). It is by far our favorite flower in the shop right now. This fuzzy, poof ball is the craziest looking carnation most people have ever seen. Green trick is a fairy new dianthus hybrid and my online search uncovered very little background information. The flower has amazing texture and is capturing the attention of judges at a number of international flower shows. We love the texture too ~ It is like moss on a stick! The apple green color is the perfect compliment to the vibrant yellows and oranges of the fall season.

We also love it's longevity. Growers enthusiastically promote the carnation's 4 week long vase life. We're testing a few for ourselves, and so far they look better than ever at the 2 week mark.

Paul designed a low round, fall centerpiece of yellow asiatic lilies, rust red mini cymbidium orchids, seeded eucalyptus, red wheat, curly willow tips, fresh pyracantha berries, green trick carnations and safflower.
