Waxflower and tulips

The bouquet pairs tulips with the small blooms of waxflower, setting the tulips' distinct flower shapes against its fine texture. The lively colours suit a birthday or a thoughtful gesture when visiting someone. Eucalyptus adds airiness, colour and fragrance to the bouquet, so its effect comes from aroma as well as appearance. Waxflower lasts in a vase for two weeks or longer. Tulips benefit from cold water and a straight cut to their stems, while warmth speeds up their flowering considerably. Remove any leaves from the greenery stems that would sit below the waterline, as they quickly spoil the water.
