Freesias, mini gerberas and santini

The bouquet combines roses, mini gerberas, santini and freesias, and greenery completes the arrangement.

Santini have short, firm stems and small flowers, so they fill the gaps between larger blooms and round out the shape of the bouquet.

In the Czech setting, flowers are traditionally given in odd numbers, and the seven roses in this bouquet follow that custom.

The bouquet suits a gift for congratulations or a birthday, and the bright flowers give a room a cheerful atmosphere.

Before placing the bouquet in a vase, remove any leaves from the stems that would sit below the waterline and quickly spoil the water.
