Special Skin Dalia SO57 is photographed as a bulk heap, which shows its character well. Each flower is made largely from skin-on sola, so most of what you see is the plant’s brown, lightly ribbed outer bark, broken by crisp white edges where the pith is exposed.
The flowers are full and layered, with broad outer petals in brown and inner petals that curl and cup to reveal more white. Centres vary from tight rosettes to swirled cores, so a batch naturally contains a range of faces. The overall palette is earthy — tan, taupe and warm brown with white highlights.
This is a strongly natural-looking product suited to rustic wreaths, autumn and winter displays, boho interiors and eco-styled gift packaging. It sits comfortably with pine cones, bark, jute and dried grasses, and in quantity it makes a textured filler for large bowls and baskets.
Floral Mongers supplies SO57 in bulk for wholesale and export, with grading and assortment options available on request.

Natural variation
The brown skin varies in tone and ribbing from stem to stem, and the handmade petal layering means each flower has its own shape and centre; expect a natural mix of faces within any batch. 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 so the brown skin and white edges keep their contrast
- Handle gently; skin petals are dry and can flake at the edges
- 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
