Its feathery leaves look a bit like dill but I\u2019ve just found out that it\u2019s related to the carrot! Ammi is normally used as a \u2018filler\u2019 flower to bring, perhaps, a delicate touch to a bridal bouquet. The texture of a bouquet is definitely softened by its addition. And, as an extension of this, it works gorgeously when added to buttonholes or corsages.<br \/>\nBut I\u2019d like to make more of this fabulous flower. It looks stunning when used abundantly on its own. A vase overflowing with ammi stems conjures up an image of wispy, summery clouds. Or vintage lace curtains fluttering in a warm breeze.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41 aligncenter\" title=\"Liadan's bouquet\" src=\"http:\/\/stemflowers.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/04\/liadans-bouquet-21.jpg\" alt=\"Liadan's bouquet\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Liadan included ammi in her hand-tied bouquet which also contained a beautiful combination of very pale peach \u2018Juliet\u2019 roses, white \u2018Avalanche\u2019 roses, ivory \u2018Viviane\u2019 spray roses, florets of white \u2018Schneeball\u2019 hydrangeas, ivory \u2018Echo Geel\u2019 lisianthus, white \u2018Versailles\u2019 freesias, lime green bupleurum and touches of berried ivy.
