There's something particularly appealing about the combination of their refined shape and unusual color. Depending on the light, those pink petals can take on a smoky, dusty-rose appearance, while the subtle golden-orange tips add just enough warmth to make the blooms stand apart from more traditional pink varieties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd Florelie Omen isn't just another pretty face.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAustralian growers report excellent flower production, strong cutting stems, and impressive performance in bouquets and floral arrangements.
