Tulips, roses & freesias

The bouquet suits a birthday gift, a thank-you or a greeting for no particular reason.

Pink roses and yellow tulips form the colourful centre, while white freesias complete the arrangement. Chamomile and eucalyptus give the bouquet a relaxed meadow look and airiness, and the eucalyptus also adds scent.

Tulips turn towards the light and bend, so the shape of the bouquet changes in the vase. This is a natural trait, not a fault.

Place the vase away from direct sunlight and draughts, and keep it away from ripening fruit, because ethylene from fruit speeds up the wilting of roses.
