Delphinium
What varieties of delphinium are there?
Delphinium received its fascinating name because its unopened buds resemble tiny dolphins playfully leaping among the waves. Delphiniums are perhaps best known for their rich blue color, reminiscent of the deep sea on a sunny day, while their petals often shimmer with subtle electric-blue tones. However, delphiniums come in much more than blue: white, sky blue, lavender, purple, and pink varieties are equally captivating.
Delphiniums in floristry
The lush flower spikes of delphiniums always attract attention and can enhance almost any bouquet, from elegant mixed arrangements to light and natural meadow-style compositions. They also look stunning on their own in a vase, when nothing distracts the eye from their tall, graceful blooms.
How should delphinium bouquets be cared for?
Delphiniums generally have a good vase life, lasting up to a week if a few simple conditions are met: clean water changed regularly, freshly trimmed stems cut at an angle, and a sufficient amount of water, as these flowers can "drink" the water from a small vase very quickly. At the same time, delphiniums do not like standing "up to their necks" in water, so for a mono bouquet of delphiniums it is enough for the water level to reach approximately half the height of the stems.
When is a delphinium bouquet a good gift choice, and what does this flower symbolize?
Who should receive a delphinium bouquet? Thanks to its expressive texture and elegant form, delphinium is also an excellent choice for masculine floral arrangements, making it suitable as a gift for a colleague, a manager, or a loved one.
Symbolically, delphinium represents purity of intentions, sincerity, dignity, inner strength, and wishes for personal growth and development. It is also a wonderful flower for a first date, when it may still be too early to speak of love and passion through red roses, yet romantic interest has already begun to blossom. :)
In a bouquet, delphinium may also symbolize a generous and open heart.
