Description
Farah is the most tropical arrangement in the collection. Red ginger, cattails, steel grass, and enough yellow chrysanthemums to light up a room. It looks like Bali put itself in a pot.
$47.00 USD. Same day delivery, seven days a week, across all Bali locations including Seminyak, Canggu, Kuta, Ubud, Denpasar and Nusa Dua. Arrives in a galvanized metal pot, ready to display.
What's Inside
Red ginger flowers rise from the centre and upper section. Three to four stems with angular red bracts fanning outward. They are the loudest thing in the arrangement by design. Below them, white polaris chrysanthemums hold the middle with their round, full blooms. Red roses sit among the white, three to four of them, and yellow daisy chrysanthemums fill both sides and across the front on branching stems. Purple dendrobium orchid sprays trail low on both sides with green buds forming at the tips.
Cattails push up through the centre alongside steel grass and green blade leaves. They're the brown fuzzy cylinders rising above everything else. Split-leaf tropical fronds spread wide at the base and frame the whole thing.
The Ginger
Red ginger is the reason Farah doesn't look like an arrangement you could order from any city in the world. You cannot buy red ginger at a flower market in Sydney or London or New York. It grows in tropical gardens, along roadsides in Bali, in the wet valleys around Ubud and through the hills of Tabanan. It is a tropical stem that only works when the florist can walk outside and find it growing.
The red part of the ginger is not a petal. It's a series of overlapping bracts, stiff and waxy, arranged in a fan shape. They last a long time in an arrangement because like the bracts on heliconia or the spathe on an anthurium, they are leaf tissue rather than petal tissue. Where a rose softens by day four, ginger bracts hold their colour and shape for ten days or more without changing. They don't wilt. They don't fade. They just sit there looking exactly as they did when they were cut.

"The ginger comes from a grower near Gianyar. I've been buying from him since the first year I opened. He grows red ginger and heliconia along the edge of his rice field, where the irrigation keeps the soil wet. You have to know what to look for when selecting stems. The bracts should be fully coloured with no green showing at the base, and the stem should be thick and firm. A thin stem means the plant was stressed. I reject maybe one in five because the colour hasn't come through evenly. The ones that make it into an arrangement will outlast every other flower in the pot by a week."
The Cattails
Most people do not expect cattails in a flower arrangement. They're a marsh plant, a seed head on a stick, brown and fuzzy. They are not pretty in the way a rose is pretty. But they do something that no flower can do. They add height without adding weight or visual noise. The cattails in Farah rise above the ginger, above the steel grass, above everything. They give the arrangement a vertical axis that makes it read as tall and dramatic rather than round and compact.
Cattails are also nearly indestructible. They don't need water. They don't wilt. They don't change colour. They just hold their position and do their job, which is to make everything below them look more interesting by contrast.
All That Yellow
Yellow daisy chrysanthemums are the most abundant flower in this arrangement. They fill both sides, thread through the front, and climb up around the ginger stems. There is a lot of yellow and that is intentional. Yellow is the colour that carries energy in a mixed arrangement. Red gets noticed first. White gets noticed for calm. But yellow is the one that makes the whole thing feel alive and moving.
The daisy chrysanthemums are also the toughest flower in the pot after the ginger. They handle Bali's heat and humidity without flinching. The branching stems mean each one carries five or six individual blooms, so the yellow coverage comes from fewer stems than it appears. That's a florist's trick for building volume without crowding the foam.
Ay Ayu Owner, Sunny Florist Bali
"Kadek says I put too many yellow mums in everything. He's wrong but I understand why he thinks that. When you look at Farah on the bench before it goes out, the yellow looks like a lot. But here's the thing. Once it's delivered and sitting in a room, the yellow shrinks. Natural light, surrounding furniture, wall colour, it all absorbs some of that brightness. An arrangement that looks balanced in the shop looks washed out in a living room. So I overshoot the yellow on purpose. Kadek stopped arguing about it after he delivered one to a villa in Seminyak and the customer said it was perfect."
The Galvanized Pot
Farah arrives in a small galvanized metal pot. Silver, bucket-style, solid. Different from the terracotta in Alesha and the hidden vase in Ayu. The metal reads as modern and slightly industrial, which works against all the tropical colour above it. The contrast between raw metal and living flowers is part of the appeal.
Practically, galvanized metal is the most durable container we use. It does not chip, does not crack, and handles the back of Kadek's motorbike without complaint. After the flowers finish, the pot keeps. Customers reuse them as herb planters, pencil holders, bathroom storage. At least three people have told us they bought Farah specifically because they wanted the pot.
Who Sends Farah
People who want colour and don't want subtle. Farah is a birthday arrangement, a celebration arrangement, a "look what just arrived" arrangement. The red ginger and the yellow chrysanthemums together create something that demands attention the moment it walks through the door. It photographs well, it fills a table, and it makes a room feel tropical regardless of what the room looked like before.
Customers in Legian and Nusa Dua order Farah for villa welcome gifts. Expats in Sanur and Denpasar order it because the ginger reminds them why they moved here. International senders order it because nothing in their home city looks like this. At $47.00 USD, getting red ginger, roses, orchids, polaris chrysanthemums, cattails, and this much yellow in a galvanized pot is a price point that only works because we buy the ginger from a field in Gianyar, not from an import warehouse.

Care
Top up the foam daily. Pour water slowly into the pot and let the foam absorb. The ginger and cattails need no special attention. They will outlast everything. The roses will finish first, usually by day four. Remove them as they soften and the yellow chrysanthemums and orchids will fill the gap. The polaris chrysanthemums hold well for a week. The orchids hold longer.
Keep out of direct sun. The metal pot conducts heat, so placing it in direct afternoon sun will warm the water and shorten the life of the roses and chrysanthemums.
