Purple Orchid & Lilac Rose in Pink Gift Wrap

This arrangement brings together a double-stemmed purple orchid and lilac roses in a round white polymer pot dressed in soft pink gift paper. Beige lagurus plumes, sprigs of lavender and slices of dried lemon add a natural, fragrant character to the composition, while a dried lotus pod frames the base of the pot. The orchid's tall, graceful stems meet the softness of the lilac roses for a design that feels both fresh and romantic, finished with a purple ribbon and natural raffia detailing. A generous choice for an anniversary, a birthday or Valentine's Day, and a genuinely memorable one for anyone you want to surprise. Use the note page after checkout to add a few personal lines.

What is actually in it

This arrangement pairs a double-stemmed purple phalaenopsis orchid with lilac roses, beige lagurus, lavender sprigs, dried lemon slices and a dried lotus pod, presented in a round white polymer pot roughly 12 cm tall, wrapped in pink gift paper with a purple ribbon. The overall arrangement stands around 60 cm. Small natural variations in bloom count can occur depending on seasonal availability.

What it looks like on day four

The orchid is the long-lived part of this gift, with the care above its blooms typically stay open for six to ten weeks, while the lilac roses behave like a classic bouquet, usually looking their best for the first week before the orchid carries the arrangement on its own.

We photograph every listing on the bench under daylight. The image you are looking at is the arrangement, not a mood board.

Orchids like bright spots but not direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, so keep the pot somewhere it gets plenty of indirect light, for example behind a curtain. Water with lime-free water using the soak method, submerge the roots fully, let them drink, then drain off any excess water thoroughly before setting the pot back in place. In summer, water roughly every five days, in winter, once a week is enough.

The five things that actually matter

1. Recut the stems. Two centimetres off at a 45° angle, under running water if you can. Air locks in the stem are the main cause of early droop.
2. Strip leaves below the waterline. Submerged foliage rots and turns the water bacterial within a day.
3. Change the water, do not just top it up. Every two days, with the sachet we include.
4. Keep them away from fruit. Ripening fruit releases ethylene, which ages cut flowers dramatically faster.
5. Cool and out of direct sun. A radiator or a sunny windowsill will halve the vase life of anything.

Do all five and you should see nine days from this bouquet rather than five. The long version is in the journal.

Delivery

Same-day delivery is available across all 39 districts of Istanbul, on the same nine daily delivery windows from 09:00 to 22:00. Delivery is always free, on every order, everywhere we deliver in Istanbul, no threshold, no surcharge.

We deliver in our own vans with our own drivers. That is more expensive than handing it to a parcel courier, and it is the reason 98.2% of orders land inside the window you chose.

Substitution policy

Fresh flowers are an agricultural product. Occasionally the market does not have what we planned for, especially with seasonal stems like peonies. When that happens we do one of two things, and never anything else:

• Substitute a stem of equal or greater value in the same colour family, and email you a photograph before dispatch so you can approve it or cancel for a full refund.
• If no acceptable substitute exists, we call you. We will not quietly send something different and hope you do not notice.

Cancellations

Change or cancel free until 18:00 the day before delivery. After that the flowers are cut and conditioned specifically for your order, so cancellation is not possible — this is the perishable-goods exception under distance-selling rules, and it is stated again at checkout before you pay.
