The Motherload features a mix of peonies, roses, ranunculus, chrysanthemums, gerberas, carnations, lisianthus, snapdragons, tulips and foliage, arranged in a 7" gold vase. Sourced directly from our trusted growers, rest assured that they're the most extraordinary blooms around!
Some of the flowers may still be budded on arrival as we send only the freshest farm-cut stems available. This means that they can be enjoyed for as long as possible!
This arrangement contains peonies, which start as buds shaped like ice cream scoops and bloom into large flowers with ruffled layers of petals and a delightful fragrance. Our peonies are delivered in more closed buds as they are fresh from the grower, so you can enjoy them for as long as possible! Once bloomed, peonies tend to have a shorter than average lifespan, but it’s their fleeting beauty that makes them so special!
The vase contains water that may have spilled during travel, so it's important to add more water immediately upon receipt. See our recommended instructions below to best care for your blooms.
To maximize the life of your centrepiece:
Remove the arrangement from the box - be extra careful as the vases contain water and the flowers are delicate.
Guard petals (slightly blemished or discoloured outer petals) on the roses are intentionally left on as they protect the bloom during transit. They can be easily removed, if you wish, though we often prefer to leave them intact as they add character and make the rose open nicer!
Add water immediately! To do so, in a separate container, mix a sprinkle of provided flower food with room temperature water and carefully pour into the vase. Hang onto the packet for future waterings and repeat this step daily to prolong the life of your blooms.
Keep the flowers in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources (like an oven or radiator).
Some flowers will bloom faster than others and at different times. Remove stems as they expire to keep the others blooming bright!
Peonies may arrive with sap on the buds that may prevent them from opening; this can be removed with warm water.
If some peonies are not blooming, a gentle massage will help them open.
This arrangement contains flowers that are harmful to pets if ingested so be sure to keep out of reach from your furry friend!
