Default This is a real long shot......
but does any of you knowledgeable grapes know of any fushcia, rose - well any flower really named "wedding - Disney - Baby Boy -etc. I thought it would be a lovely idea to buy a bush etc for my son's wedding in Disney USA and also a bush etc for my daughter when she has her first baby boy. Have been searching the internet for relevant names for the appropiate occassions and so far have drawn a blank.

Please help.

There's a beautiful tall bearded iris called Wedding Candles. I'm sure you'd find it on google.
I find the rose Celebration 2000 a good gift when you can't find something more specific - and also Baby Love for a child of either gender. Both are modern shrub roses available fron David Austin Roses.

this is a really good site: Giftaplant -Weddings and Engagements

plants for all occasions, and plants with names eg. Timothy, Claire, Susan etc
