Mini gerberas and orange roses

The bouquet suits a gift for a birthday, a thank you or a greeting for loved ones. In Czech custom, cut flowers, including roses, are traditionally given in odd numbers, and seven roses fit this practice.

Hypericum serves as a structural filler, bringing colour contrast and an autumn tone. Each alstroemeria stem carries several trumpet-shaped flowers with markings on the petals, which open gradually, so new blooms keep appearing in the bouquet.

Before the flowers go into a vase, remove the leaves from the lower part of the santini stems, as they decompose quickly in water and shorten how long the whole arrangement lasts. Mini gerberas have soft stems that bend easily, so a narrower vase or a support will help the flowers stay upright.
