rice flower(Rice flower Ozothamnus)
زهرة الأرز


Explanation:
Rice flower (Ozothamnus
diosmifolius) or ‘rice flower
everlasting’ is an upright, spring
flowering, perennial woody
shrub from the Asteraceae
(daisy) family, with a natural
distribution in coastal and subcoastal
regions of New South
Wales and Queensland. This
Australian native cut flower crop,
harvested solely from the wild
until the late 1980s is now
cultivated in all Australian States
and in the United States of
America. Australian grown rice
flower is sold as a filler or focal
filler flower primarily into the
Japanese and United States
markets. Rice flower has a long
vase life and versatile usage,
from bouquets through to hotel
foyer arrangements. Fresh flower
colour ranges from white to dark
pink and the product can be
dried and dyed.

The Australian cut flower industry is a valuable local and export industry. In 1992-93 the value of production was estimated at $300 million, including exports worth $23 million.

Rice flower (Ozothamnus diosmifolius syn. Helichrysum diosmifolius) of the family Asteraceae is a native species for which there is a strong and increasing demand in both Australian and overseas markets.

Up until the 1980s, the crop was cut exclusively from native stands located in New South Wales and Queensland but increasing demand has led to research into methods of growing the crop on a sustainable cultivated basis.

From 1991 to 1994, a research program was funded by the Rural Industry Research and Development Corporation, with support from growers and allied interest groups. This research sought to identify suitably adapted varieties of rice flower and related species, establish efficient propagation techniques, develop appropriate cultural practices, identify the cause of diseases and their control, and develop appropriate methods of post-harvest handling.

عزيزي علي
اشكرك علي السؤال
التشابه في الإسم نعم
وليست نفس الزهرة التي قصدها زميلي فتحي
أي إختلاف علمي وليس إختلاف لغوي
