Roses, mini gerberas and alstroemerias in a basket

The wicker basket holds five roses, four mini gerberas and five alstroemerias, with limonium and greenery added.

Roses form the main line of the arrangement, and alstroemerias are most often combined with roses, adding finer blooms.

Limonium with small, papery blooms on branched stems works as an airy filler. Greenery forms the base into which the flowers are set, adding volume, shape and colour contrast.

Floral foam (florex) holds the stems exactly in the position in which they were inserted, which also helps the soft gerbera stems that bend easily. The arrangement arrives ready and needs no vase, so it can simply be set down.

It makes a suitable gift for a birthday or a visit and gives a cheerful, colourful impression.
