The Bloom Between Us

Red Peonies and Red Roses, Hand-Tied as One

The Bloom Between Us is a hand-tied bouquet of deep red peonies and velvety red roses, finished with fresh green leaves, made in our Claremont studio and delivered the same day across Cape Town. It takes the classic language of red roses and adds the one flower that makes it feel rarer: full, ruffled red peonies that open over the next few days into something even richer. It is a bouquet for two people, and for the thing between them. Peonies are only with us for a short season, so this bouquet is too. See the rest of the season in our peony collection.

What's in The Bloom Between Us

• Deep red peonies: full, ruffled blooms and buds that open in the vase
• Red roses: velvety, deep red heads that hold the shape of the bouquet
• Fresh greenery: bright green leaves that make the reds glow
• Presentation: hand-tied by our florists
• Delivery: same day in Cape Town when you order before 12pm, with a free handwritten card

For the Moments That Matter Most

This is the bouquet for an anniversary, a proposal, a wedding day or a Valentine's that you want to get right. Red roses say love, and red peonies say it in a way that isn't possible every month of the year, which makes the whole thing feel more considered. If you would like red peonies on their own, see our Red Peonies in 10 or 20 stems, and for a softer romantic mix, Heart and Bloom pairs coral peonies with peach roses and blue delphinium.

How to Care for Your Bouquet

The peonies may arrive partly closed, and they open over the next few days. Trim all the stems at an angle every two days, change the water often, and take off any leaves that sit below the waterline. Keep the vase out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit. If a peony is slow to open, roll the bud gently between your fingers. Our guide to peonies in South Africa has more care tips.

Red roses are the classic symbol of love, and peonies have long been linked with romance and good fortune. Together they make a clear, confident statement, which is why this bouquet suits anniversaries and proposals so well.

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.

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.
