Unlike the fully open blooms elsewhere in our stemmed sola range, SO101 is all about the bud. Each flower is a small, rounded cup of crinkled petals that curl inward and overlap, closely resembling a peony or tea rose just before it opens. The petals carry a soft, papery ripple that catches the light along their edges.
The product image groups the stems by colour – butter yellow, peach, lavender and candy pink – on green-toned wire stems that give a fresher, more garden-like look than dark stems. Wire or stick stems are used as shown; stem length and type are available on request.
This sugared-almond palette is made for baby showers, gender reveals, christenings and first-birthday tables, as well as Easter and spring retail displays. The compact heads also suit smaller formats: posies, jam-jar favours, gift-box toppers, flower crowns and wedding buttonholes. Grouped by colour they form neat blocks on a shop shelf; mixed together they make a light, candy-toned bouquet.
Floral Mongers supplies these handmade sola flowers from India in single-colour or mixed bunches for florists, party suppliers and gift brands.

Natural variation
The curl and openness of each bud is shaped by hand, so some are tighter and rounder while others open slightly more. Pastel dyes can vary a little in depth between lots, and the natural tone of the sola pith may show faintly at the petal edges. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry and away from steamy kitchens or bathrooms
- Shade from direct sunlight; pastel dyes fade first
- Hold by the wire stem; the cupped buds dent if squeezed
- Dust with a soft brush or cool air
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
