Pink Lilies and White Roses

The bouquet combines pink lilies with white roses. The star-shaped lily flowers are complemented by the rounder rose blooms and by greenery. Pink and white go well together, so the bouquet looks fresh and understated yet romantic.

It suits a birthday, a thank-you or a gift for no particular occasion.

Remove the anthers of the lilies once the flower has opened, because the pollen stains textiles and petals. Place the vase with the roses away from direct sun, draughts and ripening fruit, because ethylene from the fruit speeds up wilting. Remove from the stems of the greenery any leaves that would end up below the water line, as they would quickly spoil the water.
