The Bloom Between Us

Red Peonies and Red Roses, Hand-Tied as One

The Bloom Between Us is a hand-tied bouquet of deep red peonies and velvety red roses, finished with fresh green leaves, made in our Claremont studio and delivered the same day across Cape Town. It takes the classic language of red roses and adds the one flower that makes it feel rarer: full, ruffled red peonies that open over the next few days into something even richer. It is a bouquet for two people, and for the thing between them. Peonies are only with us for a short season, so this bouquet is too. See the rest of the season in our peony collection.

What's in The Bloom Between Us

• Deep red peonies: full, ruffled blooms and buds that open in the vase
• Red roses: velvety, deep red heads that hold the shape of the bouquet
• Fresh greenery: bright green leaves that make the reds glow
• Presentation: hand-tied by our florists
• Delivery: same day in Cape Town when you order before 12pm, with a free handwritten card

For the Moments That Matter Most

This is the bouquet for an anniversary, a proposal, a wedding day or a Valentine's that you want to get right. Red roses say love, and red peonies say it in a way that isn't possible every month of the year, which makes the whole thing feel more considered. If you would like red peonies on their own, see our Red Peonies in 10 or 20 stems, and for a softer romantic mix, Heart and Bloom pairs coral peonies with peach roses and blue delphinium.

How to Care for Your Bouquet

The peonies may arrive partly closed, and they open over the next few days. Trim all the stems at an angle every two days, change the water often, and take off any leaves that sit below the waterline. Keep the vase out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit. If a peony is slow to open, roll the bud gently between your fingers. Our guide to peonies in South Africa has more care tips.
