Description
Ivy is the yellow arrangement. Every other multi-flower product in the collection leads with white, red, or pink. This one leads with yellow. Yellow spray chrysanthemums at the top, a large yellow-orange gerbera at the centre, and green gladiolus buds rising through the middle that will open into more colour over the coming days. It is our forty-second most popular product across Bali and sixth in Pererenan.
$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 ceramic pot, ready to display.
What's Inside
At the top, tall blade-like green leaves rise vertically alongside thin reed stalks, setting the height. Two or three gladiolus stems climb through the centre with pale green buds still closed along the stem. Below the gladiolus, yellow spray chrysanthemums cluster in the upper body, small bright daisy-type heads in groups of four or five per stem. Large broad dark green leaves frame the back.
The focal point is a large yellow-orange gerbera with a darker centre, sitting front and centre. One or two deep red roses are partially visible behind and beside it. Below the gerbera, white spray chrysanthemums fill the mid-section. On the right, purple dendrobium orchid sprays trail outward with two or three blooms per spray. At the lower front, purple-and-white bicolour chrysanthemums sit in a row, each bloom showing purple petals fading to white at the centre and tips.
The base is dense tropical foliage. Fine fern fronds, broad dark leaves wrapping the edges, and a dark brown ceramic pot beneath it all.
The Gladiolus Factor
Gladiolus is the time-release flower. The buds sit closed along the stem on delivery day. Over the next three to five days they open one by one from the bottom of the stem upward. Each bud becomes a bloom roughly the size of the gerbera, which means the arrangement gains flowers as it ages rather than losing them. By day three, the bottom buds have opened and the middle ones are starting. By day five, the full stem is in bloom and the arrangement has more colour than it did on arrival.
No other flower in the collection does this. Roses open once and then soften. Chrysanthemums arrive already open and hold. Orchids stay static. Gladiolus changes visibly every day. It gives the recipient a reason to check the arrangement each morning and see what happened overnight.
"I place gladiolus in arrangements specifically because of the opening sequence. Everything else in the pot is at its peak on delivery day. The roses look their best. The gerbera is fully open. The chrysanthemums are bright and wide. The customer sees the arrangement at its maximum and from there it only declines. Gladiolus reverses that. It starts closed and builds. So while the roses are fading on day four, the gladiolus is opening its third or fourth bloom and the arrangement still has something new happening. I think of it as insurance against the natural decline that every arrangement goes through. The gladiolus keeps the story going after the opening chapter is done."
Yellow as the Lead Colour
Yellow is the hardest colour to work with in a mixed arrangement. It reflects more light than any other flower colour, which means a single yellow bloom can overpower everything around it. In Alesha, yellow spray chrysanthemums play a supporting role behind the red roses and white disbud. In Sami, the yellow sits in a defined band. In Ivy, yellow runs the show. The spray chrysanthemums and the gerbera together make yellow the first colour you see from across a room.
Making that work without the arrangement looking harsh required the purple and white to sit in the lower half as a counterweight. Purple is the complement of yellow on the colour wheel. When the two sit in the same arrangement, each one makes the other look more intense. The white chrysanthemums between them act as a buffer zone so the yellow-to-purple transition doesn't feel abrupt. The red roses add warmth without competing because they sit behind the gerbera rather than beside it.
Yellow is the colour that taught Ayu the most about placement. In her floristry course, the instructor used yellow gerberas to demonstrate how a single flower could ruin or rescue a composition. A yellow gerbera placed at eye level in a white arrangement will pull every bit of attention to itself. Placed lower, with other colours above it, the yellow warms the arrangement from underneath without dominating. In Ivy she places the gerbera at centre height and uses the yellow chrysanthemums above it so the brightness reads as intentional pattern rather than one loud flower surrounded by quiet ones. She learned early that yellow demands a plan. You cannot drop it into an arrangement and hope it balances itself.
The Bicolour Chrysanthemums
The purple-and-white chrysanthemums at the lower front of Ivy are the first bicolour flower in the collection. Every other chrysanthemum across all our products is a single solid colour. These ones transition from purple at the outer petals to white at the centre and tips. That gradient means each individual bloom contains its own colour shift, which softens the hard line between the yellow upper section and the purple lower section. They serve as the visual bridge that connects the two halves of the arrangement.
Who Sends Ivy
Ivy ranks sixth in Pererenan, an area with a growing community of digital workers and younger expats. The yellow-forward colour palette reads as cheerful and energetic rather than romantic. Nobody sends Ivy with a love note. They send it as a birthday gift, a congratulations, a housewarming, or a thank you. The colour says celebration. It fills a room with warmth in a way that white or pink arrangements don't.
Ivy also sells well as a self-purchase for people decorating their own villa or co-working space. Yellow brightens a room the way an overhead light does, but from table height. In a space with neutral walls and wooden furniture, which describes most Bali villas, a yellow arrangement becomes the focal point of the room without needing to be large.
For the all-colour maximum arrangement, see Sunny. For yellow in a supporting role, try Alesha. For a tropical alternative at the same price, Farah brings ginger and orchids. Browse the full Balinese Arrangements or pair with a hand-poured candle or hamper.
Care
Top up the foam with water daily. The gerbera and roses will peak by day three. The spray chrysanthemums hold through day six or seven. The orchids hold even longer. Watch the gladiolus each day as the buds open from bottom to top. Remove the lowest blooms when they finish and the upper ones will still be going. The gladiolus stems may lean as the top blooms become heavier so reposition them in the foam if needed.
