 Casablanca Lily, Stargazer lily.  Both fall into the class of Oriental lilies. Expensive as a fresh flower up to $50 a bunch.  Price does not increase for silk flowers, however, Casablanca lilies are harder to find than Stargazer lilies or Tiger lilies.

Gardenia-Very fragile as a fresh flower and can be up to $10 per stem.  In silk, quality flowers can be found that are amazingly real.  They can be a little hard to locate at times and quality silk Gardenias may be a little more costly than other silk flowers.

Hydrangea-roughly $6 or $7 a stem in fresh flowers.  Fairly easy to find in silk.  Quality determines the price unless an unusual color is requested.

Lily of the Valley-Expensive as fresh flowers, up to $50 a bunch because they only bloom once-a-year for a few weeks.  Very fragile in fresh flowers.  In silk, they are readily available because they are popular wedding flowers.  Not nearly as fragile and only quality determines price.

 Orchid-Difficult to grow, usually shipped from Hawaii.  Can cost $5-$25 per stem if fresh.  Silk orchids only differ in price by quality, although there are some rare types that are hard to find and therefore, more costly.

Peony-In fresh flowers the lovely peony is available only from late spring to early summer and can cost $6 per stem.  In silk they are easier to come by in other seasons and quality determines price.  Qaulity silk peonies can be strikingly realistic.

Rose-In fresh flowers, location and seasonal availablility determine much of the cost, which can be as high as $6 a stem for common roses.  In silk, again, quality determines cost and some high-quality roses can be expensive.

 Stephanotis-Although readily available a fresh bouquet of Stephanotis is on the pricey side.  Even in silk flowers they are slightly more expensive than some flowers because quality Stephanotis is difficult to find.

 Tulip-Usually grown in France.  They can cost a hefty $45 a bunch.  In silk, quality determines cost,  however, some colors may be more difficult to find at certain times of the year.

Gloriosa or Flame Lily-Beautiful and difficult to grow.  Usually imported from Tropical Africa can cost $6 to $10 per stem in fresh flowers.  In silk these can be more expensive than other silk flowers because they are hard to find.
