Birthday gift bouquet of fresh flowers with fluttering butterfly. Photo taken on day of delivery 7th February 2018.
Close up of sparkly butterfly sitting amongst the flowers in the bouquet. 7th February 2018
Photo taken on 17th February, 10 days after delivery. All the blooms have opened up making the bouquet look much bigger
10 day old bouquet. Close up of the butterfly sitting in the blooms.
Note; the lily shown at the top of this picture (above and left of the butterfly) has stamens attached. The pollen from these will stain your hands and clothes orange.
Tip; carefully pick off the stamens by gripping the highest upward facing part. Do this as soon as you see them as the lily begins to open, before they produce pollen. They are smooth as the petals in appearance.
If you like the look of the lilies with the stamen attached, display your bouquet where you will not rub against it when walking past, and on a surface that will not stain.
