Milton Keynes, UK, 2014-5-14 — /EPR Retail News/ — With the RHS Chelsea Flower Show just around the corner, Homebase has tested the nation on its floral familiarity. From buttercup to bulrush the garden retailer has determined where the nation’s blossom blind spots are and has partnered with LEGO to recreate the four least recognisable flowers.
The four least recognised flowers are:
- Chrysanthemum
- Dahlia
- Delphinium
- Sweet William
Homebase hopes that the LEGO building block buds will encourage children to get gardening and educate the nation, meaning more recognition to forgotten flora, helping us work out our dahlias from our delphiniums.
