wouldn't this be neat? if we could find a cheap source, we could use tons and tons of it, it would look gorgeous in any venue!

I agree with you absolutely that those wonderful, almost mother-of-pearl irridescent leaves would look beautiful in any bouquet. Then again, they're hardly ever used by florists, as far as I've seen.

Does anyone know why that is?
