Ready to dive right in?
1. Eustoma
Eustomas are beautiful flowers that, at first glance, you might mistake for roses. Their bulb-like appearance is the one to blame for this mix-up, but here, the bulb shape is less pronounced than that of roses.
Eustoma flowers are native to the southern regions of the United States, Mexico, and the northern parts of South America. You can mainly find them in grasslands and prairies.
One of the coolest things about these flowers is that they come in many eye-catching colors that easily make them the stars of any bouquet. These little fellows are found with purple, pink, blue, and white petals.
You might know Eustoma flowers by other, more common names, including:
- Lisianthus
- Prairie gentian

Who doesn’t get a little excited at the chance to make a crown of daisies? With their delicate white petals, vibrant yellow centers, and elegant green stems, it can be hard to resist including English daisies in every flower arrangement possible!
English daisies bloom in different regions of the world. So, you’ll find them peppering the meadows of parts of Asia, the Americas, Australia, and their native continent Europe.
Despite having the ability to grow in various climates, English daisies stay true to their name. They simply prefer the cold weather of England, where you can come across them more often than anywhere else.
English daisies have other names as well, such as:

5. Everlasting Daisy
Everlasting daisies are definitely worth your attention because they look just a little bit like daisies but with more breathtaking colors. These Australia-native flowers have large clusters of pink, purple, orange, or red petals, making them perfect for fresh bouquets.
Better still, everlasting daisies are great candidates if you’re all about drying flowers because they keep their shape and color after the drying process. Talk about being almost immortal!
Because of their immense hardiness and endurance of drought, everlasting daisies are effortless to grow and take care of. Just keep in mind that they don’t like too much heat, so you should consider planting them in a shaded part of your garden.
