Can someone please help me figure out what other flowers are in this bouquet besides the gerbs? I'm seeing kermits, yellow buttons and some kind of carn. Or are those marigolds? I'm not really digging this bouquet, but it's what the bride sent me. Thanks!

My first though was marigolds....
 
I concur - marigolds
 
I can't imagine anyone wanting marigolds in a bridal bouquet,
Yuck, stinky!!!!
 
Looks like the marigolds from the greenhouse this summer, I'd guess orange African to get a nice full head like that.... not sure if she knows what they smell like... some don't like the smell.

Speaking of smelly flowers...

I used to work somewhere that the manager loved rice flower and used to use it in bridal work all the time....Yucko!!! skunky stuff...
 
I also think they are marigolds, but I wouldnt put marigolds in a brides bouquet, unless the bride wanted them really badly, Id use gold carnations to get the same effect probably:)
 
hey I LOVE the smell of marigolds!! LOVE IT!!! seriously I really love it.

It reminds me of my grandma and summertime. I also love the scent of mums.
The green in that bouquet looks to be green mini hydrangea.
 
Exactly, It is the foliage that has the majority of scent. Many old-time gardeners will tell you, You plant a row of marigolds next to tomatoes in your garden......The scents repel insects that feast on tomatoes. There are tons of information on companion planting.......My grandmother firmly followed and belived in companion planting......And she always had a productive, reasonably pest free garden.
