In floristry, alstroemeria is increasingly chosen as an alternative to classic roses. These flowers are known for their remarkable durability – with proper care, they stay fresh in a vase for two to three weeks, while roses often wilt within days.

Unlike many other flowers, alstroemeria emits almost no scent, making them safe for people with allergies and suitable for hospital visits or new mothers. Each stem bears several small, lily-like blooms, creating a visually rich bouquet even from a few stems. The flowers come in a wide range of colors.

The company “Ziedu Ekspresis” – a wholesale base and online store in Riga – offers fresh flowers and professionally designed bouquets with delivery directly to the recipient.
