The plant I need identifying is the large fountain grass-like plant.
It is sharing the M&S arrangement with an orchid.
The leaves are quite firm and spring directly out of (no stem) what
appears to be a bulb/corm half buried in the compost.
Photos here show the arrangement and a close-up of the bulb/corm
below.

Is the "bulb/corm" a bit like a tiny coconut? A friend of mine
has one of those (not part of an arrangement) but I have no
idea what it is...


I hope that yours needs the same conditions as the orchid.
"Arrangers" can be a bit 'easy-ozie' about things like that!


What has Captain Hoseason got to do with it?

His nickname was 'Old Heasy-Oasy'...
