Ever since I was a little kid, I was always fascinated by crown flower. It's a flower, shaped like a little crown. It comes in white and purple and grows on large bushes, which left alone can become trees. Monarch butterflies love this plant. There is a milky white sap which flows when the flowers or leaves or branches are picked. Parts of the plant are poisonous. Just be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after you are finished handling it and do not rub your eyes.

My interpretation of a scepter bouquet using the crown flower with the outer petals removed. Silvery Buttonwood foliage is collared below the crown flowers. Pearl pins add to the "regalness" of the bouquet and the pearl are repeated just below the foliage. |
