Meaning: Nobility
A thistle-type flower is wonderful for adding texture to designs. Arrange with softer flowers like scabious or Eustoma. It is a little prickly, so beware of using it in buttonholes, etc. There are quite a few similar thistle-type flowers, like Eryngium (Sea Holly), which are softer.

Dahlias
Meaning: Forever Yours
An actual seasonal British flower - there are so many beautiful colours, sizes and varieties to choose from. When buying British, give your florist a free rein to choose the very best for you; don't rely on certain types always being available.
