In early December 2017 when the color gurus at Pantone® announced that Ultra Violet would be their color choice for 2018, we can only imagine that a lot of jaws in the design world dropped. Learning that a passionate shade of purple was their choice for the new year was as startling as it was surprising. Here at Julia’s Florist, however, we see this announcement as an opportunity to share a dramatic, regal, and elegant color with our customers. Make no mistake about it; purple is one of the most magnificent colors for flowers.

If you’re looking for a potted plant that produces spectacularly elegant flowers on long thin stems, look no further than the Phalaenopsis Orchid. It may seem like a fussy flowering plant that demands constant attention, but it is really an easy plant to maintain. Our orchid’s vibrant color is heavier on the red than it is on the blue, so it looks almost like the flowers are a pinkish shade of purple. It’s the perfect accessory for a side table, a console table or other accent table.If you’re looking for a way to make your home feel more regal, or infuse a room with some drama, passion, or the feeling of strength and power, let one of our experienced consultants here at Julia’s Florist help you choose a plant, a floral arrangement, or a unique bouquet of flowers using the Pantone color of 2018 – Ultra Violet.
