Why you should love Bells of Ireland: How many green flowers are there? Not tons. This unique flower is a summer-blooming annual that makes for great use in fresh or dried arrangements. The line flower is great for adding height and length in arrangements. But beware: this flower is geotrophic, meaning it bends with response to earth's gravity. A beautiful flower and great to work with. Another warning: when this flower gets older, it develops sharp spikes on it's blooms. Keep careful watch not to get pricked!
