Sunshine in a Jar

Sunshine in a Jar: A Yellow Sunflower Arrangement for the Weeks That Need Interrupting

A cheerful, affordable arrangement of yellow sunflowers, soft yellow roses, alstroemeria and solidago, arranged by our florists in a glass jar finished with twine. Made to brighten a desk, a kitchen counter, a hospital bedside, or the kind of week that needs interrupting. No vase needed. No fuss. Just a jar of yellow, ready to go.

What is in the Arrangement

• Yellow sunflowers — the hero, fresh from our local growers.
• Yellow roses — soft, classic, long-lasting.
• Yellow alstroemeria (Peruvian lily) — speckled, delicate, multi-stemmed.
• Yellow solidago — wispy filler that catches the light.
• Mixed greenery — ficus leaves, eucalyptus seed, soft fern.
• A recycled glass jar with twine — keepable, no extra vase required.

Stems are conditioned by our florists in Claremont, Sea Point and Johannesburg, and arranged by hand the morning of delivery. The jar is hers to keep.

Flowers are seasonal and stock varies week to week. If a stem is not at its peak on the day of delivery, our florists will replace it with a like-for-like substitution in the same colour palette and style. The overall look stays true to the photo.

Why This Arrangement Works

This arrangement does what a bigger one cannot. It is small enough to live on her bedside table, affordable enough to send just because, and bright enough to lift a room the moment it lands.

Sunflowers are the only flower that turns to face the light. Sending them is the closest thing to writing "thinking of you" in stems.

It is the arrangement our team sends to friends going through a hard week, new mums getting home from hospital, colleagues who closed a deal, and people who do not want a grand gesture but deserve to be remembered. If you would rather send something larger, browse our sunflowers range.

Our 5-Day Freshness Guarantee

Every Fabulous Flowers arrangement is backed by our 5-day freshness guarantee. If your flowers are not in beautiful condition five days after delivery, we will replace them. Care guidance is in our flower care guide if you want to send it with the gift.

Delivery

Same-day in Cape Town and Johannesburg for orders placed before 12 pm, Monday to Saturday. Fresh flowers do not travel by courier, so this bouquet is local same-day only. For Stellenbosch, Paarl, the Garden Route or anywhere outside our same-day zones, browse our gift boxes for a nationwide alternative.

Pair It With

A small arrangement asks for a small partner. Try a Lindt Lindor box, a handwritten card (free with every order), or pair with a bottle from our non-alcoholic champagne range for a quick add-on. Our florists will write a single card that ties both gifts.

From Our Cape Town Studio Since 1999

We have been arranging flowers from our Claremont studio for over twenty-five years. Two studios, a Johannesburg delivery network, and over 5,000 reviews across Loox, Google and Trustpilot. Our florists choose every stem the morning of delivery. If the arrangement does not look like the photo, we replace it.
