The wide variety available makes them a compelling choice for arrangements. "Each of them is so unique looking, especially the trendy dyed versions that they're coming out with," says Carolyn Chen, owner of @wildthingsbirmingham . Blooms last forever too. "This arrangement looked the same for probably three weeks. They keep their color and are some of the hardiest flowers you can find," says Chen. Combine the variety and longevity with a pretty price, and you have an affordable arrangement that packs a modern punch.
