ULTRA VIOLET FLOWERS

It is an exotic hue that conveys deep emotions and is very eye-catching. And the fact that ultra violet is predominant in nature in the form of some beautiful flower species like Clematis, Hyacinth and Iris, makes it a favorite for weddings, parties and special occasions. Whether you incorporate this color in bouquets or centerpieces or trails, it will always stand out.
