Flirt in a Jar

Flirt in a Jar: A Small Flower Arrangement With Big Romantic Intent

Flirt in a Jar is the bouquet you send when a card would not be enough and a giant bunch would say too much. A clear glass jar tied at the neck with a red "love" ribbon, packed with pink garden roses, red gerbera, deep red ranunculus, soft pink astrantia, eucalyptus and arching ornamental grasses. Hand-styled at our Claremont studio in Cape Town and delivered with the water already in the jar, ready to set down and admire. No vase shopping, no trimming on the kitchen counter. Just the moment, opened.

We have been hand-styling small flower arrangements like this one since 1999, and the people we send them for keep telling us about it. 5,800+ reviews across Google, Trustpilot and Loox back every order. Same-day delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg for orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.

What's Inside Flirt in a Jar

• Pink garden roses, open, soft, generously scented.
• Red roses and red ranunculus, the heart of the arrangement.
• A red gerbera daisy, the cheerful, unmistakable centre.
• Pink astrantia, the romantic detail you only see up close.
• Soft pink filler blooms, depth between the focal flowers.
• Eucalyptus and ornamental grasses, movement and softness.
• Clear glass jar with red "love" ribbon, the vase is the gift.

Stems vary by season. We substitute only with same-tone, same-quality South African flowers in the pink-and-red palette. The jar and love ribbon are included with every order.

A Romance-Coded Vase Arrangement, Built To Be Seen

The pink roses say tenderness. The red roses say love and passion. The red gerbera says joy. Together, the palette reads as flirtation backed by something more sincere, which is exactly the tone the name promises. Flirt in a Jar sits beautifully on a bedside table, a writing desk, a kitchen counter, or the centre of a small dining table. It is the kind of arrangement that catches the morning light and makes the person who received it stop on the way to the kettle.

Who To Send Flirt in a Jar To

Send it for the start of something. A new relationship that deserves more than a text. A Valentine's Day gift for someone who finds the traditional dozen too predictable. A small anniversary flower gesture for the in-between years. A "thinking of you" for a long-distance partner. A "well done" with a soft edge. If you want a larger statement instead, look at our full romantic flowers range. For more drama, see the Vibrant Rose Bouquet. For something quieter, the Brilliantly Happy Vase Arrangement is a soft, single-vase alternative. The Golden Majesty covers the higher-end vase end of the range.

A clear glass jar, a red love ribbon at the neck, pink garden roses meeting red gerbera. Sent instead of saying it out loud.

The Meaning Behind the Pink and Red Palette

Half of every romantic gift is the colour story. Pink roses signal admiration, gentleness and the beginning of something. Red roses are the full declaration: love and passion. Together, they say "I like you and I mean it" in a way that does not feel rehearsed. Our guide to the symbolic meaning of flowers walks through every colour combination if you want the full reasoning before you send, and our short love-story feature is a good companion read.

How To Care For Your Flirt in a Jar

The jar arrives with water and ready to display. Top up the water every two days, keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight, and move it away from any ripening fruit bowl (the ethylene shortens vase life). If a stem starts to droop earlier than the rest, lift it out and re-cut at a 45-degree angle under running water. With this care, Flirt in a Jar holds beautifully for five to seven days, and we back that with a 5-day freshness guarantee on every order.

Why Order From Fabulous Flowers

We have been a working florist since 1999, with two Cape Town studios (Claremont and Sea Point) and a Johannesburg delivery network. We hand-style every Flirt in a Jar in-house, source pink and red stems from South African growers, quality-check every flower before it goes in the jar, and tie the love ribbon by hand. For more delicate single-tone alternatives, see the pink flowers range or the full luxury flower arrangements collection. If you are ordering for a wedding or anniversary at a Cape Town venue, our Cape Town wedding venue guide covers the spaces we deliver to most often, and our full roses range covers everything single-variety.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant—all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.

Please Note: Due to the seasonal nature of flowers and availability of specific items, the contents of our bouquets and gift boxes may vary throughout the year. We strive to substitute any unavailable items with products of equal or greater value, ensuring that every gift you receive is fresh, beautiful, and of the highest quality.
