Amaryllis

This flower produces showy red, pink or white (and even mixed) flowers and is best suited for single flower arrangements. A smart accessory would highlight its noble character. One single stem is solid enough to normally bear two to five blossoms.

Euphorbia

Lots of small flowers sitting on stems, shallow leaves around them make Euphorbia something special. Its main show takes place during the Christmas days. Euphorbia can make beautiful arrangements with numerous partners. Its flowers are red, white, orange or violet. Euphorbia is a spurge plant – its stems produce milk-like juice when cut.

Christmas rose

We value Christmas rose for its showy flowers produced in winter. This plant will grow in any shady place in your garden. If located sheltered, it would even get more and more bushy. It produces numerous flowers in white, pink or red, depending on variety. Due to its long vase life, Christmas rose is a favorite cut flower in Christmas arrangements.

Flamingo flower

Flamingo flower is native to Tropics. Its cut flowers are quite easy to care. Its luminous petals surround the piston making thus a quite showy small hump. Lately, a lot of new varieties have been bred, including miniature Flamingo flowers that make beautiful mixed arrangements. Its leaves are also quite favorite arrangement accessory among florists.

Gerbera

Gerberas are the most favorite cut flowers. The wide range of colors and blossom types allow any possible arrangement. Funny fringed varieties look as if they have just forgotten to call on their hairdresser. Gerberas can also make beautiful single blossom arrangements.

Freesia

Romantically scenting freesias are also one of the favorite cut flowers. Its color range is enormous: they produce flowers in almost every shade; its noble-looking stems have no leaves – only blossoms! Its flowers show their color one after another and live therefore quite long in a vase (provided for appropriate conditions, of course). There are also double varieties available on market. Freesias are widely used in wedding arrangements.

Calla

Calla produce showy flowers in white, pink, red or yellow and makes beautiful mixed arrangements. They have a long vase life and even single blossom arrangements might look quite festive.

Orchids

Orchid blossoms have an extraordinary long vase life. Numerous varieties available on market have become relatively cheaper, if compared to prices some years ago. The wide variety range offers a plenty of blossom shades and form. The number of blossoms may also vary depending on variety: from single blossom stems to panicles of blossoms – everything is possible!
