SO49 is sold simply as Sola Flower, but its form is distinctive. Long ivory petals radiate in several layers, and many of them end in a fine, drawn-out point that curls slightly, like a thread pulled from the tip. This gives the outline a spiky, star-burst quality.
At the centre, a smooth rolled bud is held by a small cup of petals whose edges keep a thin rim of natural brown sola skin. That dark outline draws the eye inward and adds a subtle two-tone detail to an otherwise pale flower.
The pointed silhouette brings energy to arrangements and pairs well with dried grasses, palm spears and seed pods in contemporary natural décor. It also suits festive and winter styling, where its star-like points echo seasonal motifs, and makes a striking topper for gift boxes and diffuser sets.
Floral Mongers supplies this handmade sola flower for wholesale and export, in its natural finish or with dyed petals on request.

Natural variation
The drawn petal tips and skin rims are handmade details, so their length, curl and the width of the brown edging vary on each flower; the natural skin tone also differs between sola stems. 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
- Keep the fine petal tips clear of carton walls and other flowers; they snap easily
- 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
