Lime Twist

Product Details

lime twist – white and green bouquet Most bouquets sit somewhere between colourful and white. Lime Twist sits somewhere else entirely — a palette that's almost entirely green and white, and more interesting for it. The green comes from cymbidium orchids and viburnum clusters rather than just foliage, which gives the arrangement a quality that reads as intentional rather than sparse. It works particularly well in a space that's already clean and modern, or as a gift for someone who finds conventional mixed bouquets a bit much. There's nothing overstated about it. What's in it The centrepiece is the green cymbidium orchids — arching sprays of waxy, sculptural blooms that hold their shape for considerably longer than most cut flowers. White cabbage roses fill in the body of the arrangement, full-petalled and substantial. Viburnum adds texture through small layered clusters. Thlaspi — also called pennywort or field pennycress depending on who you ask — provides delicate, fine-scale filler between the larger blooms. White waxflower, which is small and persistent, threads throughout. Seasonal green blooms round it out; what exactly these are will vary by time of year. The orchids are what make this arrangement genuinely different from a standard white bouquet. Cymbidium blooms last two to three weeks once cut, sometimes longer — the rest of the arrangement will retire before the orchids do. How long it lasts With basic care, one to two weeks for the bouquet overall. The roses and waxflower will fade first; the orchids continue long after. If you cut the orchid stems at an angle and keep them in fresh water, they'll often outlast everything else by a week or more. Standard care applies: trim all stems at an angle on arrival, use the included flower food, change the water every two or three days, keep it away from direct sun and radiators. When it works As a gift, Lime Twist suits people who have taste but don't necessarily want a big colourful statement. It tends to land well as a housewarming or a thank-you — something that looks considered rather than off-the-shelf. For an office or reception space, the white and green palette is neutral enough to suit most interiors and doesn't come across as personal or occasion-specific in a way that might feel out of place in a professional setting. For celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries — yes, though if the person you're buying for tends to gravitate towards colour and warmth, it's worth checking whether the all-white-and-green palette suits their taste. This isn't a subtle choice in terms of aesthetic; it's a distinct one. Seasonal substitutions Availability of specific stems varies. If a particular flower isn't available when your order is placed, we'll substitute with something of equivalent quality and volume while keeping the green and white palette intact. If the orchids specifically are important to you, call ahead before ordering to confirm availability. Delivery Same-day delivery on orders placed before 2pm. The bouquet is arranged fresh on the day it goes out, with presentation wrapping included. Add any delivery notes — access requirements, time preferences — at checkout. FAQ What flowers are included? Green cymbidium orchids, white cabbage roses, viburnum, thlaspi, white waxflower, and seasonal green blooms. The orchids and roses are the main statement flowers; the smaller stems give the arrangement its texture and depth. How long do cymbidium orchids last? Significantly longer than most cut flowers — two to three weeks if the stems are kept clean and the water is changed regularly. They'll generally outlast the roses and smaller stems by a week or more, which makes the arrangement worth refreshing rather than replacing once the other flowers start to fade. How long does the whole arrangement last? One to two weeks overall, depending on conditions. Trim the stems on arrival, use the flower food sachet, and change the water every couple of days. Keep it away from direct sunlight, fruit bowls, and heat sources. Is this suitable as a corporate gift? It works well for that. The neutral palette — no bold colours, nothing that reads as romantic — suits an office or professional setting. It's distinctive enough to make an impression without being difficult to interpret. Can specific flowers be swapped or changed? Within reason, yes. The bouquet maintains its white and green aesthetic, but if you have a preference about specific stems, get in touch before ordering and we'll see what's possible. Is same-day delivery available? Yes, for orders placed before 2pm. The bouquet is made fresh on delivery day. Include any specific delivery instructions in the order notes. What if some flowers aren't available? We'll substitute with premium alternatives that keep the white and green palette — the overall look stays consistent. If the cymbidium orchids are a priority for you, it's worth calling ahead to confirm they're in stock before placing the order.
