Loose, ruffled petals layered in open cups give SO09 the look of a garden peony or old-fashioned cabbage rose. The petals are thin and slightly crinkled at the edges, catching light unevenly so the ivory reads soft and airy rather than flat. In the middle, a cluster of finely fringed yellow strands stands up like stamens, adding a warm, sunny focal point.
The back view in the product images shows a neat, rounded sola base with a fringed collar where the petals are gathered. The flower is supplied without a stem and sits upright on its base, which makes it easy to use as a table accent, a shelf ornament or the anchor bloom in a larger dried arrangement.
SO09 is handmade in India from natural sola (shola) pith, with the yellow centre coloured to contrast with the ivory petals. Because sola absorbs fragrance oils, the head can also serve as a decorative diffuser topper or scented accent in a bowl.
Floral Mongers supplies the cabbage flower in bulk for florists, event stylists and décor brands, with sizes and centre colours discussed per order.

Natural variation
The ruffled petals are shaped by hand, so each flower opens a little differently, with varied cup depth and edge crinkle. Natural sola ranges from bright ivory to soft cream, and the yellow centre may take the dye slightly lighter or deeper from piece to piece. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry, away from humidity and direct sunlight, which can fade the yellow centre
- Handle by the base; the thin petal edges can tear if pinched
- Dust with a cool air setting rather than a brush to protect the ruffles
- Store in a rigid box with tissue so the petals are not flattened
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
