Two tones define the Sola Skin Water Lily SO64. Its pointed petals are cut so that the brown outer skin of the sola stem remains on the face of each petal, while the soft ivory pith curls up around the edges like a frame. The result is a bark-and-cream contrast that looks rustic without being rough.
The photograph shows several tiers of these skin-faced petals radiating out in a full, water-lily arrangement. At the heart, a tightly rolled ivory rosette rises above the petals, with a small opening at the very centre that can take a stick, wire or diffuser wick. The skin carries visible grain, speckles and fibrous marks, which are part of the material rather than surface decoration.
This is a natural-finish design with no dye; the colour comes entirely from the pith and its skin. It suits earthy, Scandinavian and farmhouse styling, and sits comfortably beside dried grasses, pods and wooden accents. As a handmade sola flower manufacturer in India, Floral Mongers can supply it loose for arrangers or fitted for diffuser and gift ranges.

Natural variation
The brown skin on each petal is natural, so its shade, speckling and fibre pattern change from flower to flower. Because each head is assembled by hand, petal count, tier spacing and centre height also vary slightly. 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
