Spring flowers for her: tulips and fragrant blooms

Spring flowers for her: tulips

Tulips have a clear shape that works in a single-colour or mixed-colour bouquet. A few shades can create a soft effect, while a stronger contrast gives the arrangement a different character. Explore tulip bouquets and check the current size and colours. Choose a vase that supports the stems without forcing them tightly together.

Plan a receiving time when the flowers can go into water. A bouquet should not have to wait in a car or on a sunny doorstep. The surprise is easier to enjoy when it fits the recipient’s day.

Freesias

Freesias are often chosen for their fragrance and smaller flowers along the stems. They can add detail to a mixed arrangement or form a bouquet of their own. If scent is part of the reason for choosing them, make sure it is something the recipient enjoys. Compare freesia bouquets and use the current listing as your guide to the available arrangement.

Hyacinths

Hyacinths have clustered flowers and can bring a noticeable fragrance into a room. They may suit someone who already enjoys scented flowers, but they are not a neutral choice for every home or office. Check whether you are choosing cut stems or a living bulb arrangement, because those need different care. Keep any display away from food and give it a stable position.
