I think a lot of people (me included) associate them with the lei’s you put on religious statues/icons, which is why people don’t buy them as much. :D

pixienixie, I associate them too with garlands hung from statues of Jesus or the Virgin Mary.

So pretty, but i’ve always associated them with dust (of course they collect dust when they’re left forever!). But i love the shell inlay on that table on which the vase sits.

I associate everlasting flowers with All Souls’ Day. Also, I often see leis hung on the statues of Jesus, Mary, and the saints that’s why I haven’t considered these flowers as an option. I don’t know if other people have these associations too, and if these are used similarly in other parts of the country…

Reminds me of mums here in Canada. Perhaps they are one and the same.
