Summer Lilies

Lilies, roses, santini, mini gerberas and solidago blend together in warm yellow and orange tones. The solidago adds small yellow flowers in dense panicles, and the whole arrangement feels summery and cheerful.

The bouquet suits a summer greeting for a birthday or as a way to say thank you.

Remove faded lily blooms regularly so that the remaining buds can open. Mini gerberas have soft stems that bend easily, so a narrower vase or a support helps the flowers stay upright. Remove the leaves from the lower part of the stems of santini and greenery, because in water they quickly decay, cloud the water and shorten the life of the whole bouquet.
