Meadowlark

Meadowlark: A Sunny Yellow Flower Bouquet

This is what a good mood looks like in flowers. Meadowlark is a yellow flower bouquet built around bright yellow roses and feathery golden solidago, all gathered into a soft, just-picked shape and wrapped in green. It has a wild, sunlit feel, like a handful of a summer meadow, and it is the one to send when you simply want to make someone happy. Yellow is the colour of friendship and good cheer, so there is no occasion required. Our florists hand-tie every bouquet in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of five-star Loox reviews. Find more in our roses, our rose bouquets and our friendship gifts range.

A handful of summer meadow. Bright yellow roses and feathery gold.

Yellow Roses and Golden Solidago

The magic of Meadowlark is the mix of two textures. Full, sunny yellow roses give it weight and richness, while airy sprays of golden solidago, sometimes called goldenrod, lift the whole thing and give it that loose, wildflower feel. The green wrap frames the gold beautifully. It is fresh, modern and full of life, and it holds well over a week with clean water. If you love a sunny bouquet, the Blooming Sunshine Bouquet, the Sunshine Radiance Bouquet, the Sunflower Garden Flower Bouquet and the Sunkissed Yellow Bouquet are all worth a look. There is more to browse in our mixed flower bouquets and wider flower bouquets ranges, and our guide to the gerbera daisy is a cheerful read.

What Yellow Flowers Mean

Yellow flowers symbolise happiness, friendship and good cheer, which is what makes a bright yellow bouquet such an instant mood-lifter. Where red says romance, yellow says warmth and joy, so a yellow flower bouquet is the one you send to make someone smile rather than swoon. It carries no romantic pressure at all, which is exactly why it works for almost anyone: a friend, a colleague, a parent, or someone who simply needs a brighter day. For more on choosing flowers by colour and occasion, our guide to roses for all occasions walks through it.

When to Send Meadowlark

Because yellow is the friendliest colour in flowers, send Meadowlark whenever the feeling is warm rather than romantic. It makes one of the kindest get-well flowers you can send, a sunny just because surprise for someone who never expects it, and a heartfelt thank-you when words are not quite enough. It is a lovely pick for a friend going through a hard week, too. Sunflowers and yellow blooms are at their best in the warmer months, and our guide to seasonal blooms explains what is at its peak when.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Meadowlark bouquet contain?

Meadowlark is a hand-tied yellow flower bouquet of bright yellow roses and feathery golden solidago, finished in green wrap. The exact stems shift a little with the season while the sunny, all-yellow look stays the same.

What do yellow flowers mean?

Yellow flowers symbolise happiness, friendship and good cheer. They are a warm, joyful choice rather than a romantic one, which makes them perfect for a friend, a get-well wish, a celebration, or simply to brighten someone's day.

What is solidago?

Solidago, often called goldenrod, is the airy, feathery yellow flower woven through Meadowlark. It adds a soft, wildflower texture that lifts the roses and gives the bouquet its loose, meadow-like feel.

Are yellow flowers a romantic gift?

Not especially, and that is their charm. Yellow flowers say friendship and warmth rather than romance, so you can send them to almost anyone. For love, red or pink blooms send the clearer message.

How long will the bouquet last?

With clean water, a fresh diagonal trim every couple of days and a spot out of direct sun, the roses and solidago hold well over a week. Solidago in particular is long-lasting, so the bouquet keeps its glow.

Can I get same-day delivery in Cape Town and Joburg?

Yes. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery across Cape Town and Johannesburg. As a fresh bouquet it is delivered within these two cities rather than couriered nationwide.

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 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 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.
