Knud Nielsen Sr. based his eponymous company in Evergreen, AL, because the area was known for its abundant supply of magnolia, holly, palms, mistletoe, huckleberry, oak, ferns, Spanish moss, and other flora. More than 100 years later, the Knud Nielsen Co. is the world’s largest company devoted exclusively to dried flowers and other materials. As this creation makes clear, it’s one of the most artistically distinctive as well.
