German to English translations [PRO] Science - Botany / Floristry
German term or phrase:Kapgrün
In a list of floral materials required to make up a flower arrangement. I don't even have a photo. It is a Christmas themed arrangement with a candle at the centre and comes in a list of botanical names and other materials. I have hunted high and low for this and can't find it translated anywhere! Any flower experts out there?
Explanation: I can't find confirmation of this, though.
Phylica ericoides is excellent for floristry, and is used mainly as a filler. In the cut flower trade it is sold as a 'Cape Green' and is called white phylica, to distinguish it from P. pubescens that they call green phylica.

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
