For me it is the carnation it lasts it can be used in any arrangement and can be featherd down and still hold quite a while mind you I do love calla I made a corsage for wedding fair and had it in shop 3 weeks later stll looking good it was mango which did surprise me got no care after at all because it was on our wedding table behind head pieces and got overlooked so was very surprised to see it looking so good a customer wanted to buy it but hadn't got the bottle to sell it
