What is actually in it
This arrangement combines cut sunflowers with red roses, orange garden roses, yellow button chrysanthemums and eucalyptus, gathered in an orange velvet box roughly 11 cm tall and 11 cm wide with an orange ribbon. The overall arrangement stands 15 to 25 cm tall. Small dark marks on the outer petals of a few roses are a natural trait of this variety, not a flaw, and small tone variations can occur with seasonal availability.
What it looks like on day four
Freshly cut sunflowers and roses keep changing after they arrive, expect the sunflower heads to face toward the light and the petals to open a little wider over the first couple of days. With daily water changes and a fresh trim, this arrangement typically holds its colour and shape for about a week.
We photograph every listing on the bench under daylight. The image you are looking at is the arrangement, not a mood board.
Unwrap the arrangement as soon as it arrives and remove any string. Trim two to three centimetres off each stem at an angle under running water, then strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Fill the box's inner container with room-temperature water, add the flower food sachet provided, and keep the flowers away from direct sun, heating vents and draughts. Refresh the water every day, trimming the stems by half a centimetre each time, and remove any bloom that starts to fade so the rest stay fresher for longer.
The five things that actually matter
- 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.
- Strip leaves below the waterline. Submerged foliage rots and turns the water bacterial within a day.
- Change the water, do not just top it up. Every two days, with the sachet we include.
- Keep them away from fruit. Ripening fruit releases ethylene, which ages cut flowers dramatically faster.
- 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.
