Description
Spring flowers bloom forth like a lively musical composition playful and free without adhering to the rules for any specific musical form
Lisianthus is becoming my new favorite flower - I spotted this one with the delicate white with purple trim and I knew I wanted to make a playful piece that was colorful and bold. Red being symbolic for a vibrant zest for life it was a lovely color for the white bloom to pop visually off of.
Lisianthus (Eustoma Grandiflorum) is a genus of 3 species in the family Gentianaceae. Lisianthus are found in warm regions of the Southern United States, Mexico, Caribbean and northern South America. Lisianthus is popular in horticulture, as an ornamental, a potted indoor plant, and a cut flower.
The Common names of Lisianthus are Prairie Gentian, Texas bluebell, Tulip gentian, Bluebells and Lira de San Pedro.
Lisianthus are long-stemmed flowers in cymes, with often only a few openings at a time. Sepals on Lisianthus are only fused close to the base and are much smaller than petals. The petals on Lisianthus are purple or bluish, large and rounded, with only a fuse at the base. The petals form a trumpet or funnel-shaped corolla, and are often yellow on the inside close to the mouth of the flowers. The stamens of the Lisianthus are inserted close to the base of the petals along with long and slightly twisted anthers.
