Peach and Plum: Mixed Flower Bouquet

The design

About Peach and Plum

Pink lilies, some still in bud, lead this generous mixed flower bouquet in peach wrap. The one in the photos pairs them with pink hydrangea, white roses, deep plum chrysanthemums and bright pink carnations, plus a little baby's breath, and a sheer peach bow at the stems. The plum keeps it from going sugary; it gives the soft colours something to lean on.

It suits Mother's Day, birthdays, get well soon wishes and funerals: a full bouquet for when one kind of flower is not enough. Send it to the aunt who likes a bit of everything, or to a family at home after a loss, when something warm and varied can feel like a hand on the shoulder.

One size, at $125, delivered as a wrapped bouquet. Each one is custom designed, so yours will share the feel but may not match flower for flower. Lilies are toxic to cats, so if there is a cat in the home, add a note to your order and we will design around it. We deliver seven days a week, and orders in by 1 pm can usually arrive the same day at most postal codes.

Care guide

How to care for Peach and Plum

Five small habits that add days to any bouquet, then the tips that matter for these flowers.

Into water, fast
Unwrap it and get the stems into water as soon as it arrives. The wrap looks lovely, but stems cannot drink through paper.
A fresh cut
Trim about 2 cm off each stem at an angle with sharp scissors or a knife. A clean, slanted cut gives them more room to drink.
Clean vase, cool water
Fill a clean vase with cool water and stir in the flower food if there is a sachet. Strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline.
Every two days
Change the water and give the stems a small trim. Cloudy water is the quickest way to shorten a bouquet's life.
Choose the spot
Keep it away from direct sun, heaters, drafts and the fruit bowl. Ripening fruit gives off ethylene, a gas that ages flowers faster.

Flower by flower

Lilies
Pull off the orange pollen tips as each flower opens, with a tissue, to save petals and tablecloths from stains. Snip faded blooms so the buds keep coming.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas drink through their petals as well as their stems. If a head wilts, recut it and sink the whole head in cool water for 30 to 60 minutes.
Roses
Keep every leaf above the waterline. If a head starts to droop, recut the stem and stand it in a few centimetres of warm water for an hour.
Chrysanthemums
Take off every leaf below the waterline and change the water every couple of days; they will happily outlast the rest.
Carnations
Recut just above one of the small joints on the stem, where they drink best.
Baby's breath
It dries beautifully. When the rest of the bouquet is done, hang a few stems upside down somewhere dark and dry for a keepsake.

For this design

The lily buds will open over the coming days; as they do, keep the bouquet out of reach of cats, vase water included. The sheer bow and peach wrap are for the hand-over, so take them off before the flowers go into a vase.

A note for pet homes

Lilies are highly toxic to cats, including the pollen and the vase water, so keep this one well away from them. The hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, carnations and baby's breath can also upset cats and dogs if eaten. If they have a pet, say so in your order notes and we will design around it.
