Glee in a Jar

Glee in a Jar: A Pink and Blue Pastel Flower Arrangement in a Glass Jar

Glee in a Jar is a soft, cottage-garden flower arrangement built around pink garden roses, pink chrysanthemums, a pink gerbera, blue delphinium, purple statice and trailing eucalyptus. Hand-styled at our Claremont studio in Cape Town and delivered in a clear glass jar tied at the neck with garden twine, water already inside, ready to set down on a kitchen counter, a bedside table, or a Sunday breakfast spread. It is the bouquet for the moments that want softness over scale.

We have been hand-styling small flower arrangements like this one since 1999, with 5,800+ reviews across Google, Trustpilot and Loox behind every order. Glee in a Jar specifically holds a 4.9 out of 5 across 44 Loox reviews. Same-day delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg for orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.

What's Inside Glee in a Jar

• Pink garden roses, soft, open, the focal flower of the arrangement.
• Pink chrysanthemums, the rounded ball-mums that give the jar texture and depth.
• Pink gerbera daisy, the cheerful unmistakable centre.
• Blue delphinium, the vertical spires of true blue that lift the whole arrangement.
• Purple statice, the dusty-purple filler that holds the colour story together.
• Pink snapdragons, soft height between the focal blooms.
• Ammi (Queen Anne's lace), the lacy white-pink umbels that give Glee its cottage-garden feel.
• Eucalyptus, soft silver-green movement around the edges.
• Clear glass jar with garden twine bow, the vase is included with every order.

Specific stems vary by season. We substitute only with same-tone, same-quality South African flowers in the pink, blue and purple pastel palette. The jar arrives with water already inside and is yours to keep.

The Colour Story Behind the Jar

Pink roses signal admiration, gentleness and the start of something. Blue delphinium carries openness and grace. Purple statice and the dusty Queen Anne's lace add quiet sophistication. Together, the palette reads as soft, considered and a little romantic without being declaratively so. If you want the full picture of what each shade carries, our guide to the symbolic meaning of flowers walks through every colour in detail.

Who To Send Glee in a Jar To

Glee carries beautifully across a wide range of occasions. Send it for Mother's Day when you want soft over showy. Send it for a birthday flower gift to a friend who loves pastels and garden gardens. Send it as a thank-you flower, or as a quieter romantic flower gesture for an anniversary that wants understated. For sister single-tone alternatives, browse our pink flowers range or the blue flowers and gifts collection. For the warmer-toned sister jar, see Happiness in a Jar. For a larger pink statement, the Pink Expression Bouquet and Vibrant Rose Bouquet sit alongside.

How To Care For Your Glee in a Jar

The jar arrives with water and is 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 (ethylene shortens vase life). If a stem droops earlier than the rest, lift it out and re-cut at a 45-degree angle under running water before returning it. With this care, Glee in a Jar holds for five to seven days. We back every fresh-flower order with a 5-day freshness guarantee. If anything is not right when it arrives, email hello@fabulousflowers.co.za.

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.
