Bud Punie SO43 is shaped as a flower still gathering itself. The petals rise in a deep cup and fold inward at the top, so the bloom looks rounded and enclosed rather than spread.
The detail that sets it apart is at the petal tips: each is pinched and crimped into a small point or twist, and several of these points gather towards the centre. The effect is a soft, slightly ruffled crown that recalls a peony or tulip bud. The pith is left natural, with a faint warm tint where petals overlap.
As a bud form, SO43 is useful for adding variety and scale to arrangements built mostly from open flowers. It sits well at the edge of bouquets, in garlands and wreaths, and as a small accent on gift packaging or wedding favours. Its enclosed shape is also a little more robust than wide-open sola blooms.
Floral Mongers supplies this handmade sola bud for florists, décor brands and importers, graded by size and available natural or dyed on request.

Natural variation
The crimped tips and inward fold are shaped by hand, so each bud closes to a slightly different degree and the pinched points vary in size; natural pith tone can range from ivory to soft cream. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Store in a cool, dry place; sola pith takes up moisture from humid air
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to limit gradual yellowing of the ivory pith
- Avoid pressing the top of the bud, where the pinched tips meet
- Dust gently with a soft brush or a hair-dryer on a cool setting
- Diffuser or fragrance oil can be applied; test one piece first, as oil may darken the pith
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
