Red, Lilac and White Roses in a Butterfly Bouquet

Nine roses, three colours and one playful idea. Three red roses say love in its most direct form, three lilac roses add a touch of grace and mystery, and three white roses bring calm and sincerity, so the bouquet holds every shade of affection at once. Little red craspedia balls add a modern, playful accent. The whole bouquet is framed by a transparent wrap shaped like butterfly wings and tied with red and pink ribbons, which makes it stand out the moment it is handed over. A charming gift for a partner, a birthday, an apology or a spontaneous gesture. We deliver it the same day across all 39 districts of Istanbul for orders placed before the cut-off.

What is actually in it

Exactly three red, three lilac and three white roses with red craspedia and seasonal greenery, in a transparent butterfly-wing wrap with red and pink ribbons, about 40 to 50 cm tall. The lilac shade can vary slightly between roses.

What it looks like on day four

Fresh-cut flowers keep changing after they arrive: some buds open over the first two or three days, which is part of what keeps the arrangement looking good for longer. With fresh water and a trim every couple of days, expect around seven days of good looks, sometimes more.

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

Unwrap the bouquet as soon as it arrives and untie any string. Strip the lower leaves, cut the stems 3 to 5 cm at an angle, ideally under water, and place them in a clean vase filled halfway with room-temperature water and the flower food provided. Change the water every day or two, re-trim the stems each time, and keep the vase away from direct sun, heaters and draughts.

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.
