    I think I have some what of a fascination with these little darling flowers called, dare I say “Billy Balls”. I don’t fancy that name much, nor do I think their real name, Crapedia, does them any justice either. So I have taken it upon myself to refer to them as “Natures Lemonheads”. Remember those candies as a child? Regardless of what you call them, they bring a sunny brightness to any bouquet and add a festive touch to your wedding décor.

      What a great round-up of all things “billy balls” – but I totally agree that this isn’t the best name for them nor is their “official” name. I LOVE your name for them . . . “natures lemonheads”. They’re just so fun to look at and make me smile – they are just like mini versions of the sun brightening the bouquet of decor element they are used in.

      I’m doing all-craspedia bouquets for me and my ‘maids…love the bright color and structure of this flower!

      What a clever idea for BINGO…so cute!! And that wedding dress is sooo nice @ least from the back. It’s vintage elegance!!

      I love these!!! I hardly ever see them in NZ, so not sure that they’re readily available!! Boo!

       I always heard them called billy buttons, and I LOVE them!  Great round-up!

      Naomi, What a beautiful round-up! I love Craspedia, too, and cringe at ‘Billy Balls’. I do like ‘Billy Buttons’ instead, and, I think you just renamed them successfully with Nature’s Lemonheads. Much prettier. :)
      xo,

       I actually never knew what to call them! Great collection of lemon-y inspiration!

      I too have been fascinated with these little “Billy Balls”.  In fact, a wedding I’m planning has them as boutonnieres! Of course, splashed around a bit throughout the wedding!
      I agree, great collection of images to showcase the “Balls”. :D
