Everybody has different tastes in flowers. Apparently, Elton John doesn’t like greenery, as reported by this article we found on an Irish website:
Superstar Elton John is blooming fussy when it comes to his dressing room flower arrangements.
The millionaire popstar, who once admitted spending more than £10,000 (€14,493) a month on flowers, has ordered florists to cut off all the leaves and hide the stalks on his floral decorations.
The superstar does not want to see green in the red and white floral arrangements adorning his dressing room ahead of this Saturday’s concert in Bournemouth, Dorset.
Florist Simonis, in Bournemouth, have also been told the flowers should be displayed in 8-inch vases.
Sir Elton has ordered two vases of white roses, two vases of red roses and one vase of white flowers which should not include carnations, chrysanthemums, daisies, or lilies which he does not like.
“It’s an unusual request because normally we do flowers in foliage but he doesn’t like greenery,” said David Shires, director at Simonis.
“I don’t know why. The red and white might have something to do with the football.”
He added: “He is a little bit fussy with his flowers but he can afford to be fussy can’t he? We know he loves his flowers because over the years he has spent so much on them.”
