Shell flowers can be very different and interesting to give as gifts. I used to do all my own designs and arrangements. The shell rosebuds I did were hard to tell from real until you got right up to them. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of those right now.

Below are some of the arrangements I've done in the past. The pictures aren't great, but you'll get the idea. I used all kinds of shells, including canariums for the roses and mushroom coral for the big round ones, plus some starfish for daisy-type flowers. The tiny florals are mostly baby clam shells. And the ones that look like a fly-trap are spiny oyster shells.
