The 'wand' below comprises an Avalanche rose, Eryngium and Eucalyptus, and is accessorised by organza that complements the colour of the Eryngium.
Eryngium are some of my favourite flowers. They are often mistakenly called thistles due to their spiky flower heads, foliage and stems but are actually a Sea Holly.
Whilst the flowers used here are obviously cultivated, a species of Sea Holly grows wild on the North Norfolk Coast and is a characteristic plant of the sandy, shingle habitat, that can be seen in flower in the summer.
