cascas de sementes


Explanation:
É sinônimo de "seedcoat", segundo essa referência:

http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?pid=S0123-21262012000100...

Isso bate com a definição de "seedhead" no dicionário Collins:

"seedhead = a seed-containing part of some plants that develops after flowering or fruiting"

flores secas


Explanation:
Seed-head is not an accurate botanical term but it can be used to name the seed-bearing structure that remains after the formation and maturation of seeds in a flower. In that situation the flower normally dries (hence the proposed name “flores secas”) and it can be used in decorative arrangements.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Considerei esta resposta, mas para o caso específico não poderia falar de flores secas já que a autora tinha referido a necessidade de ter flores sempre frescas. Obviamente que sem esse contexto o Pedro não poderia saber. Muito obrigada!
