Rows of small oval petals, laid one over the next like the scales of an artichoke, cover the Sola Gardenia Ball SO89. Each petal is a thin, smooth piece of sola with a softly rounded tip, and together they build a full, gently bumpy surface that recalls the layered petals of a gardenia.
The photographs show the balls in a bright white-ivory with a silky sheen and fine visible grain on each petal. Compared with the skin-finished sola balls in the range, there is no brown edging here, so the look is clean and light. Gallery images show them in a wooden bowl with dried gypsophila and on a wooden surface.
Its pale, refined finish makes the Gardenia Ball a good choice for wedding and bridal décor, white-themed tablescapes, spa interiors and premium gift hampers. It can be scented with fragrance oil for potpourri-style use or dyed to match a colour scheme. Floral Mongers supplies it in counted packs for wholesale and export buyers.

Natural variation
The oval petals are cut and applied by hand, so their size, overlap and direction change across the surface of each ball. The white-ivory tone and sheen of the pith vary naturally between batches. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep in a dry place, away from damp walls, bathrooms and direct sunlight.
- Lift the ball from underneath rather than squeezing the surface pieces.
- Clean with a soft, dry brush; avoid wet cloths and sprays.
- Store in the original carton between uses so the covering is not crushed.
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
