Incredible Flower-like Bug
Comment
A farm owner in South Africa was taken aback when something flower-like moved on a bush in her garden . Margaret Neville discovered a fascinating insect on a lavender bush that was like nothing she had ever seen before.
The delicate-looking creature is called a spiny flower mantis, or Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii. It is a species of praying mantis that is found in sub-Saharan Africa. Many are white with orange and green stripes. Adults have a swirl on their wings that looks like an eye, as you can see on the male in this photo.
The mantis Neville spotted in her garden was more suited for the lavender the female insect lived on for the month of September. Neville shared photos of the mantis with the Waterfall Retreat and Environmental Centre, whose experts said “Miss Frilly Pants” (as the insect became nicknamed) was likely a pregnant female.
“She loves to hunt bees that visit the flowers of herbs such as purple and rose pelargonium, she sits at the flowers and hunts using her camouflage,” they wrote in the Facebook post displaying the stunning creature.
Many Mantis Species
There are about 2,300 mantis species around the world. While some hide in trees and leaves using basic green or brown camouflage, others are more flamboyantly suited to their surroundings.
For example, Malaysian orchid mantises are found in a variety of colors including pink, yellow and white. When they pose on greenery, it is nearly impossible not to mistake them for flowers, at least momentarily.
The ghost mantis is nearly indistinguishable from a leaf. Properly known as Phyllocrania paradoxa, they are green in some areas and brown in others to best suit the conditions where they live. The voracious eaters will devour almost any bug, although they prefer to make a meal out of moths and other flying insects .
So the next time you’re on a nature walk or working in your garden, pay close attention to any little movements you might detect. Who knows? You could discover a walking flower in your own backyard.

Flower Trends 2020
Comment
Trends represent shifts in consumer preferences. Sometimes the shifts are huge and cut across most all consumer profiles. Sometimes a trend is only actualized in a small portion of all consumers, but when the impact is large enough to cause a noticeable change in demand for the trend product(s), the trend is big and the impact wider. Flower Trends Forecast 2020 identifies the changes in consumer preferences impacting the most change in demand for cut flowers and floral décor.
Flower Trends Forecast 2020 has been prepared by Helen Miller, AIFD, CAFA, CF and Derek Woodruff, AIFD, CFD, CF, PFCI, AAF to highlight the changes in consumer predilections in floral products and décor. Both Helen and Derek are experienced in their understanding of the changing consumer and their evolving tastes in flowers and floral décor.
Flower Trends Forecast top trending flowers for 2020 are:
1. Peonies
2. Garden Roses
3. Ranunculus
4. Dahlias
5. Butterfly Ranunculus
6. Spray Roses
7. Chrysanthemum Disbuds
8. Tender Vines
9. Hydrangea
10. Tillandsia
Helen and Derek forecast the flower trend that will be most prevalent for weddings and events to be what they have entitled Black Tie + Barefoot. It is a décor style featuring moody colored flowers and soft feminine textures. The trend has a romantic feel and hints of a sophisticated bohemian style. The look is created using muted and muddy color flowers combined with lacy and airy foliages unexpectedly paired with dried flowers and tender vines. The color palette will be grayed tones of pink, lavender, blue and green with a heather-ish pink being the most prevalent. Roses, peonies, dahlias and a host of flowing vines will be most popular for creating Black Tie + Barefoot décor.
Though there are many attributes and factors that influence how and what consumers purchase, visual cues are the most influential. For flowers that means looking fresh! But beyond perceived freshness, the strongest and most persuasive visual cue is color. Knowing what color palettes are increasing in popularity can be found in Flower Trends Forecast 2020. The report details the color palettes for four trending styles expected to be popular in 2020.
When one thinks of trends in the floral industry, often the sole focus is on color or style. Some hot, upcoming trends in floral design for weddings and events include some unexpected items and pairings. Once thought of as completely separate elements, dried flowers, fresh flowers and live plants are all being used together in one cohesive styling. The trend is detailed in a style Helen and Derek have entitled; A New Leaf. The trend is immersed in nature and cut flowers are mixed with interesting plant materials, cut foliages and dried botanicals.
