Roses, mini gerberas and alstroemerias in a basket

The arrangement is handed over ready in a wicker basket, so no vase is needed and it only has to be placed in position.

Roses form the base, mini gerberas bring bright blooms with prominent centres, each on its own stem, alstroemerias add colour accents and limonium provides a light, airy filler.

The flowers are pinned into floral foam, which holds the stems exactly where the florist placed them, so the arrangement keeps its intended shape.

It suits a visit or a gift, as the recipient does not need to arrange anything further.
