Freesia

  Freesia 

Named after the German physician Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese, freesia – with their bell-shaped blooms and sweet, citrus scent – are among the most popular fragrant flowers.  And, while in most cases the white variation of a flower is the most fragrant, in the case of freesia, the pink and red varieties are actually more highly scented.  With their wiry stems and delicate blooms, it’s not surprising that one of the most popular freesia varieties is named Ballerina.

 The bright, sophisticated blossoms of the freesia spread out against its stem with a grace unmatched in the flower kingdom. This flower epitomizes grace under pressure and is the ideal way to congratulate someone who kept their cool under difficult circumstances.
