In season now: October
In October, chrysanthemums, dahlias and rose hip branches are especially popular. Seasonal flowers are fresher, usually last longer and match the mood of the time of year.
Ready-made seasonal bouquets are in the shop — delivered or for pickup.
Occasions and flowers
- Wedding anniversary: matching colours, perhaps echoing the bridal bouquet.
- Birthday: bright, cheerful mixes — ideally in their favourite colour.
- Thank you: light, friendly tones such as yellow, peach or white.
Care tips for your bouquet
- Clean the vase thoroughly and fill it with lukewarm water.
- A cool spot overnight noticeably extends vase life.
- Cut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife so they can draw more water.
- Use the flower food sachet as directed — more does not help more.
- Take out wilted blooms early so the rest stays fresh.
Good to know
Which colour suits which occasion?
Red stands for love, white for calm and new beginnings, yellow for friendship and thanks. In the end, what the recipient likes matters most.
How big should a bouquet be?
Low and compact for the dining table, generous as a gift. Just make sure a suitable vase is at hand.
Can I pick up flowers instead of having them delivered?
Many florists offer pickup as well as delivery — handy when you are short on time.
How long does a bouquet of cut flowers last?
Usually five to ten days, depending on the variety and care. Fresh water and a cool spot make the biggest difference.
