Bouvardia
Name:
The flowers are named after Parisian doctor Charles Bouvard,
personal physician to Louis XIII and director of the Jardin des
Plantes.
Description: Bouvardia are certainly not common
flowers. If you study them closely, you find
loose clusters of tubular starlet flowers fringed with leaves and
carried on tall stalks.
Each stem, resembles a small bouquet in bright firework colours.
They also have a faint delicate scent.
Origin: Native to Mexico. Introduced to the UK in
1854, but are chiefly grown
in sub-tropical zones and under glass in Holland.
Colour: Shades of pinks and red as well as white.
Availability: All year round.
Family: Their closest relatives
are the fabulously fragrant gardenias.
Varieties: They have wonderful
names like 'Pink Luck', 'Royal Katty' and 'Albatross'.
Care Tips: Cut the stems at a slant with a sharp knife
and don't forget to use the special
flower food usually provided for bouvardia. They are particularly
prone to water loss
and should not be left out of water. If you do not have the special
flower food, d,
re-cut the stems frequently and remove excess foliage.
