It’s this time of the year again – the air is simply filled with love. And what is a better way to say ‘I love you’ than with carefully selected flowers? We would like to suggest classic Roses and the flowers of the month – Chrysanthemums!

The time when there are countless romantic movies on TV and love songs on the radio. The time when young boys are adorably nervous profunding their love to that one special girl. The time when good restaurants are fully booked. The time of the year when beautiful streets of romantic old Paris are filled with couples. When shops are full of people – lovers hectically searching for suitable gifts to surprise their partners. And, of course, the time of the year when flowers are bought in very big quantities. So. What flowers should you stock up with?!

STAY CLASSIC WITH ROSES

Roses have always been a symbol of love – they are especially elegant and love prefunding in bright red colours.

Every year, we strive to provide our customer with the best products possible. And how would we know how good the quality of our products is? We will tell you! A few weeks before the Valentine’s, we make a big Rose show at our office – that is also the way we test the flowers and only select the top quality. We observe them, check and choose only the best.

DUTCH RED

Dutch Roses are incredibly popular throughout this season due to their quality and looks. And when it comes to red Roses, there are 2 Dutch varieties that we would love to put in the spotlight – the ultimate famous Red Naomi and Red Eagle. Their big blossoms will capture the heart of your customers during Valentine’s!

SOUTH AMERICA RED

Last but not least – Red Roses all the way from South America are also the product you should not neglect during this busy period! Same as Kenyan Roses, South African Roses are also grown in nearly year-round sunlight. However, their flowers look somewhat different from the previous two locations, which makes them a special addition to out Valentine list!

GO ROMANTIC WITH CHRYSANTHEMUMS

This year, Chrysanthemum is the Flower of the Month February, which means that we should use it to our advantage and incorporate these blossoms into our Valentine designs! And we also should not neglect the fact that they come in a very wide range of colours and shapes.

SINGLE

Single flowers for couples! Get that bottle of Moët & Chandon Magnum Imperial and a beautiful bouquet of massive and stunning Magnum Chrysanthemums and congratulate your loved one – what could be more romantic?! Of course, the big flowers of single Chrysanthemums are available in a wide range of colours – anything you can imagine – even painted!

The Amaryllis [Hippeastrum] is a typical statement flower: large, special and worthy. You simply cannot ignore it. The smooth, large hollow stems are too special and the flowers look too striking. The petals of Amaryllis are very unique; they look like luxurious velvet and come in white, red, yellow, pink, salmon, purple, orange and bicolour.

The Amaryllis is on the Flower Agenda in December. Usually, there are four to six impressive flowers on the leafless stem that can grow up to 20 cm wide. Amaryllis is the undisputed star of mixed bouquets, but also very suitable as a mono eye-catcher during the holidays.

FLORAL TREND MOODBOARD

AMARYLLIS FLOWER FACTS

ORIGIN

Amaryllis as we know it originally comes from South and Central America and the Caribbean, belongs to the daffodil family and grows from a bulb.

AMARYLLIS OR HIPPEASTRUM?

The botanical name of the Amaryllis is Hippeastrum. This name comes from the Greek and literally means ‘knight star’, referring to the star-shaped petals: hippeus = knight and astron = star. But because everyone recognises the flower as Amaryllis, the names have become synonymous with each other. In our webshop, we always use the botanical names.

CHOICE OF ASSORTMENT

The best-known Amaryllises are the large-flowered cultivars, from which a particularly beautiful assortment is refined. Not only red or white in single or two-tone variations, but also beautiful burgundy, purple, pink or salmon-coloured flowers.

Less well-known are small-flowered species, which nevertheless offer unprecedented possibilities in bouquets and flower arrangements.

There are various groups within the genus based on flower shape: Galaxy Grp, Diamond Grp, Colibri Grp, Double Galaxy Grp, Double Diamond Grp, Double Colibri Grp, Butterfly Grp, Trumpet Grp and the Spider Grp, among which the attractive Cybisters. They all are placed in the category with the orchid or spider types.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING AMARYLLIS FLOWERS?

• Check the length and the number of buds per stem.
• The ripeness stage is expressed in stages from 1 to 5. The Amaryllis is usually offered dry in boxes in stage 1.
• It is important that the flowers are stored in a cool place to prevent ripening.
• When purchasing Amaryllis, it is important that the flower is free from pests and diseases. The flower can sometimes show Botrytis (= dots or smallpox). The flower cover petals can also be limp, dried or shrivelled or become glassy and / or discolour due to low RV and too long storage. The stems are sometimes limp (flexion coefficient) to crack or are dried. This is usually due to too long storage or inferior quality.
• Occasionally, red stripes appear along the stem, the so-called ‘fire stalks’. These have no negative influence on the shelf life.

CARE TIPS FOR PROFESSIONALS

• Cut Amaryllis stems a few centimeters with a sharp secateurs or a sharp knife.
• Place the stems in clean buckets or vases with clean water, with a preservative in it, preferably a special product for bulb flowers. A preservative ensures that the flowers open beautifully and the water is not contaminated by bacteria.
• Please note that the flowers cannot become moist, due to excessive humidity or due to condensation. This will encourage Botrytis, a fungal attack that can quickly reduce the ornamental value. With Amaryllis, this is often called dots or smallpox, because of the small spots on the flowers.
• When making bouquets and flower arrangements, it is wise to put a stick in the hollow stem that can help carry the heavy flowers. This is only necessary for older cultivars, the new range has sturdier stems that can stand independently.
• To prevent the lower ends of the stem from curling, the stem can be fixed with a tape or elastic. Water absorption will then continue to improve.
• Curling can also be made part of the arrangement: cut deeper into thinner strips and place in very cold water for a curly ball in the vase.
• When processing Amaryllis in floral foam, it is useful to pierce a hole before the flower is inserted.
• Amaryllis can be stored dry in the cold store at 8-12 ° C in boxes. Colder is not good – then the flowers become glassy. The shorter the storage time, the fresher the product and the longer the vase life.

PROFESSIONAL AMARYLLIS PRESENTATION TIPS FOR YOUR SHOP

The Amaryllis fits beautifully in the style trend, in which the living environment is softened and flowers serve as buffers. Hang them upside down as a flowering chandelier: the water can be put in the stems that can also serve as mini vases for other flowers. Or arrange them as a thriving mini-garden, the flowers have an impact anyway and, due to their size, have a dampening effect on stimuli and sounds. To enhance the effect, the pastel colours are best combined with an orange shade variety.
