Mini gerberas and orange roses

The bouquet is built around orange roses and mini gerberas, which carry its main colour. Santini chrysanthemums add volume and a soft structure, so the roses and gerberas sit in a fuller arrangement.

Alstroemeria is regarded as a flower of friendship and also symbolises abundance and good fortune. Hypericum adds shiny coloured berries rather than blooms, which pick up the warm orange tones.

The bouquet works well for birthdays, thank-you gestures or a small gift for someone close.

Before putting the stems in a vase, strip the leaves from the greenery that would sit below the waterline, as they would quickly spoil the water.
