I call it Lisi or Lizzy but it's Latin name is Eustoma.
Their blooms have such a soft, feminine look & they are very long lasting. They are often mistaken for Roses or even Peonies like the double-petalled varieties.
It is pronounced Lizzie-ann-thus.
They are made up of delicate trumpets in shades of white, purple, pink, cream, lilac & bi-colours. They are available all year round.
They are called Lisianthus because this means 'bitter flower' referring to the taste as the flowers were traditionally used in herbal medicine.
