The Sola Lotus Hibiscus SO63 borrows the open, spreading profile of a hibiscus bloom and gives it the layered fullness associated with a lotus. Each head is cut and shaped by hand from sola pith, with wide petals that fan outward and finish in small notched points along their tips. A smooth, rounded bead sits at the heart of the flower in place of stamens, giving it a clean, sculptural focal point.
In the product photograph the heads appear in their natural ivory tone, with the fine linear grain of the pith running across every petal. The surface is soft and slightly matte, and the petals overlap in a relaxed, uneven way that reads as handcrafted rather than moulded.
Because the petals open so wide, this design covers more surface than a compact rose and works well as a single statement head in bowls, trays and flat-lay arrangements. Like other handmade sola flowers, it absorbs diffuser oil readily. Floral Mongers supplies it in natural ivory for wholesale and export orders, with dyed colourways open for discussion.

Natural variation
Each Lotus Hibiscus is hand-cut, so petal width, the depth of the tip notches and the size of the bead centre differ slightly from piece to piece. The ivory tone of the pith also varies 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
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated place away from humidity and direct sunlight.
- Handle by the base or outer petals; thin sola petals can crease or chip under pressure.
- Remove dust with a soft brush or a cool air setting on a hair-dryer.
- Keep away from water and damp surfaces, which soften sola pith.
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
