Kangaroo Paw

Kangaroo paw in the catalog is orange, packed at 5 stems a bunch. It is a fuzzy tubular flower on a branched stem. Florists use it as texture in a modern bouquet, a masculine mix, or a tropical bunch, where a smooth round head looks too plain.

The hairs dislike rubbing and do not want to be wet. In the carton, do not strap tightly across the flower. On arrival, only the cut end goes in water, not the bloom. A soaked paw loses the velvet and looks soiled.

In the vase it is tougher than a poppy or a cornflower, but heat makes the fuzz brittle. Length and branching change by lot: one shipment is almost straight, the next is widely branched. Orange is the only color on the current list; another shade needs a confirmed offer, not an assumption.

A request needs the bunch count and the date. If a tall design depends on height, state it. We confirm length from stock, not from a generic description. The color is only orange, but the branching changes. A dense bouquet wants a branched stem, a linear design wants one that is nearly straight, and the lot photo shows which is on hand.
