A bright green centre sets SO27 apart from the natural-toned sola flowers in the range. The disc is made from many short, square-cut strips coiled in tight rings, coloured a clear leaf green that stands out sharply against the white petals and gives the flower a fresh, botanical feel.
Around the centre, slender white petals with rounded tips radiate in several overlapping layers, producing a full gerbera or daisy outline. The petals have a light sheen and fine fibre lines, and side views in the product images show them cupping gently upward from a fairly flat base. The back is finished with a round, flat sola disc, and styled shots show the flower in a wooden bowl, on hessian and in a small group.
SO27 is handmade in India from sola (shola) pith, with the centre dyed green and the petals left in their natural white. The colour contrast makes it useful for spring and Easter displays, garden-party and summer wedding themes, and for adding a touch of green to otherwise neutral sola arrangements without using preserved foliage.
Floral Mongers supplies the middle-green sola flower wholesale and for export, with centre and petal colours adjustable to order.

Natural variation
The petals are placed by hand, so their spacing, layering and upward cup vary a little on each flower. The green centre is dyed, and the depth of green can shift slightly between pieces and batches depending on how the pith absorbs colour. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry; damp conditions may cause the green centre to mark the petals
- Keep out of direct sunlight to slow colour fading
- Handle by the flat base
- Dust with a cool air setting or soft brush
- Store face-up in a rigid box with tissue
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
