Charming Flower with a Race-like Shape: The Gentle and Cute Scabiosa!

My Favorite Flower Recently♡

In April, there are tulips and sweet peas♡ In May and June, it's peonies.

The flowers available at florists change with the seasons, but right now, among the flowers in bloom at the florist, the one I find particularly cute is the flower called 【Scabiosa】＊

<This is Scabiosa♡>

The colors are mainly white and a faint purple. The petals are frilly and crinkly, giving a lace-like vibe♡

The twisty and curvy way the thin stems bend is cute and dynamic, and its transparency is lovely♡

Its other name is Matsumushi-sou. It's the Matsumushi from the song "Ah, the Matsumushi is chirping~♩."

This flower blooms in the season when the Matsumushi chirps (from the end of summer to autumn)＊

Arranging it this way is stylish♡

Scabiosa looks wonderful on its own as a single bouquet, but it also pairs well as a secondary flower in various flower arrangements◎

It adds a pure and unique touch while blending in beautifully, giving a lovely presence♩

Here are some stylish flower arrangements featuring Scabiosa that I found on Instagram♡

Artificial flowers can be nice too＊

The round and frilly Scabiosa flowers.

Of course, fresh flowers are incredibly cute, but when I recently went shopping for artificial flowers at East Side Tokyo, I found that the artificial ones looked great too, making me love Scabiosa even more＊

Naturally, since they are artificial flowers, they don't have the ephemeral quality or softness of fresh flowers, but the sturdy ruffles provide a sense of stability.

The Scabiosa sold at East Side Tokyo had stems that didn't look overly artificial and had a high level of quality, looking quite real＊

Many artificial flower bouquets have a distinct "this is artificial!" vibe, but I felt like this one might be acceptable♩

Let's remember the flower called “Scabiosa”♡

Preparing for a wedding makes you encounter flowers more than ever in your life, doesn’t it? It sparks an interest in flowers, right?

Getting to know flowers seems to enrich life somehow....♡

Please remember this flower called “Scabiosa” and pay attention to it from now on♩
