Mixed Mango Orange Bouquet

The bouquet combines roses, chrysanthemums, alstroemerias and mini gerberas, with goldenrod and greenery filling it out. Warm orange and yellow tones with peach and red shades create a cheerful, sunny look.

It suits a greeting, a thank-you or a small joy for someone close.

Remove spent alstroemeria blooms as they fade; the remaining buds then open and the bouquet lasts longer. Strip any leaves from the greenery that would sit below the water line, as they would quickly foul it. Mini gerbera stems are soft and bend easily, so a narrower vase or a support will keep the blooms upright.
