i should point out there's different colors also. the kind in that arrangement are called purple uluhe, don't ask me why because to me they are brown.
Green point nurseries in hilo hawaii has them very enexpensivly. ask for Claude, he's a doll. tell him shannon from durango sent you!
FYI when i was looking for a similar product, I asked Hitomi, and she is who recommend
them to me. So you can't go wrong with a recommendation from her!

Another name for it is Fiddlehead Fern. That's what I have always heard it called.

Fiddlehead fern

We call them fiddlehead fern and get their cute little brown monkey looking tails from Dan at Koehler and Dramm in Minneapolis, MN. They ship to us as we are 7.5 hours away.

We used them in two weddings last year and they really add a new dimension of texture and depth.
