Queens wreath flowers

LoopyBC · September 2022

Hi everyone,

I couldn’t see a thread on this so thought I’d start one.

Has anyone ID’d the specific flowers used on the wreath for the Queen? It looked lovely with dahlias and sweet peas, and while the photos aren’t great I know there are people with a great eye for these things and will know the precise types.

Thanks

It was stated that the flowers were all from the Balmoral gardens.

I think I can see chrysanthemums, dahlias, heather, sweet peas, possiby stephanotis ...

It had either been freshened up or a new one today, just as lovely as yesterday.

The dahlia could be a white form of 'Figaro'. I think I can also spy some white jasmine in other photos online. The phlox might be 'Mount Fuji'.

Seems such a pity that many of the flowers left on the floor by the public are still wrapped in plastic...
