Freesias, mini gerberas and santini

The bouquet combines seven roses, seven mini gerberas, ten santini and five freesias with green foliage. Its shades move from pink through yellow to green, and together they create a lively, varied whole.

Mini gerberas stand for joy, cheerfulness and sincere friendship, so the bouquet is well suited to greetings and also works as a small pleasure with no particular occasion.

Santini come in white, yellow, green and purple, often with a contrasting centre. Freesias open their buds gradually up to the tip of the stem, so the flowers unfold one after another.

Cut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife and remove any leaves that would end up under the water, as they would quickly spoil the water.
