    my wife purchased a £10 bunch of flowers for 50p in tesco, well no use working there if there's no perks.
    So there's a nice flower in the bunch that we can't identify, so it's up to the intrepid flower nuts on here to help please.

    Looks a bit like a Protea to me.

      Pete's right, possibly a King Protea.

        Definitely a protea, beautiful, very long lasting cut flower. I used to use them a lot when I was a florist but their stems are so thick it made holding the bouquet a b@@@er:spinning:
