Dike

The Dike bouquet combines roses, alstroemeria, hypericum and spray carnations on a base of greenery, which adds volume, shape and colour contrast. Orange, yellow, pink and purple blooms go well with the red hypericum berries, so the whole bouquet looks warm and colourful.

A spray carnation carries several smaller flowers on one branching stem instead of a single large one, and hypericum serves as an accent to the roses. Alstroemeria is regarded as the flower of friendship and also symbolises abundance and good fortune, so the bouquet suits a birthday, a thank-you or a gift for a friend.

Place the vase away from direct sunlight, draughts and ripening fruit, because the ethylene from fruit speeds up wilting.
