OH!!! It is pretty whatever it is!!

Wonder if it is from the artichoke family?????

[davefrombc]

I believe it is a member of the bromeliad family .

The florist who sent them would know what that flower is.

I live in a different area then where the bouquet of flowers came from, still need to know!

Search " Bromeliads" on Google search . Bing will give you hits too, but a page of bromeliad pictures is near the top in a Google search. There's something like 3500 species of bromeliads ; pineapples are a member of the bromeliad family .

It's not a bromeliad.

It's a Leucadendron sp.:

This is called a Lucadendron, it is from the Protea family, florists (of which I am one) use it, mostly available in the Fall. It is a tropical flower, many flowers of the Protea family are beautiful, especially the Pin Cushion Protea. They are available in many shades. It can be dried.
Hopes this answers your question

Thanks for all the information! Leucadendron
It is quite a different plant to what used to seeing in an arrangement also.
I was wondering how you would dry it?
Like you do others upside down or is there other ways.
