Chamelaucium Uncinatum
Purple Pride Waxflower
 

The waxflower, or Chamelaucium Ciliatum, is
sometimes known as the Pink Tea Tree.  It
is a very small, light, airy flower with a diameter
that is less than an inch.  Each branching stem
contains a lot of buds.  Its foliate is needle-like. 
Because of the delicate nature of its flowers,
the Waxflower is frequently used as filler in floral
design.  Its primary use is in bouquets and as
decoration for a bridal table.  It is available in pink, lavender and white.  It is available starting in December and may be easily obtained through the end of May.

Historically, the waxflower was used as a setting
for tea service when the bride-to-be was first
introduced formally to the groom's parents.
