This month, we wanted to focus on a bloom that is not your “ordinary flower.” From fresh bouquets to long-lasting dry arrangements, this flower does it all! Learn more about craspedia globosa, the golden drumstick.
Origin & Symbolism
Craspedia globosa, most commonly known as “billy button” or “drumstick,” is a form of daisy that belongs to the Asteraceae family. Craspedia is a wildflower grown in Tasmania, New Zealand and Australia. The name derived from the Greek word “kraspedon,” which means “fringed edge,” globosa meaning “sperical shaped” in reference to the shape of the flower.
Billy buttons often signify good health, but in modern day it is said to “express the feeling that the receiver lights up the sender’s world.”

Drumsticks are available all year round! They are originally yellow, but some suppliers may offer dyed blooms in colors red, orange and green.
