Origin of white wax flower
Native to Western Australia, this flowering shrub usually has white, pink or purple flowers with five waxy petals on each stem. The leaves of wax plum contain oil glands that produce a beautiful fragrance when crushed, and the flowers themselves give off a fresh scent. Some varieties of wax plum are found in Madagascar and British Guinea as climbing woodland vines or aromatic trees. Those waxflowers we usually see in flower arrangements were only discovered and named in 1819 by the French botanist René-Louis-Che de Fontaine.
History of white wax flower
The southwestern region of Australia is best suited to growing white wax flower in dry, sunny and well-drained conditions, both commercially and in the home garden. These extremely hardy plants can withstand harsh conditions such as frost and drought. As a member of the myrtle family, waxflower blooms naturally in late winter and early spring, which is very rare among flowering species.

White Wax flower symbolizes wealth and long-lasting love and is often used in wedding bouquets as an exotic filler flower. As an affordable and symbolic choice, waxflower is often a viable alternative to full blooms in arrangements of larger flowers.
