Bright Yellow Novelty Viking Pom Flower

These cute little mums last for weeks and are extremely durable. They look like the adorable little sister of sunflowers. I used them with baby's breath and statice for a floral crown and as the main flower in a little girl's bouquet, in countless arrangements and with a few sprigs of baby's breath on a "tower" of brownies (the "wedding cake"). By ordering them to arrive earlier than the rest of the flowers, I was able to make the flower crown several days before everything else (I had tested and knew it would keep in the fridge perfectly up to a week ahead).

Thanks to the advice of my fiftyflowers.com rep, I chose these instead of sunflowers and was thrilled. They look like wildflowers and have a lot of flowers per stem, as compared to a sunflower.

These flowers were for our rehearsal dinner centerpieces. Simple and summery. We were thinking of sunflowers, but these were way more cost-effective. They are like a cross between daisies and mums. As my flower consultant said, they are called viking poms because they are so hearty and virtually indestructible. A great choice for color and for any arrangement that will be moved around a lot.
