Stargazer lilies, red and pink roses, magenta snapdragons, silver-blue thistle, and gypsophila - hand-tied in purple marble wrap. Full, fragrant, and genuinely striking.
Built Around a Genuinely Special Flower
The stargazer lily is one of the most striking flowers grown - large, deeply pink, star-shaped blooms with a fragrance that fills a room within hours of opening. Stargazer Bloom is built around this flower, with two or three stargazer lilies positioned as the clear focal point, some arriving fully open and others still in bud, ready to unfurl over the following days.
Around them, red roses and vivid magenta spray roses add depth and colour. Deep purple snapdragon spikes rise upward through the arrangement, giving it real height and structure. Silver-blue eryngium thistle threads through the middle, adding a cool, textural contrast that keeps the whole bouquet from feeling one-note. Pale green lisianthus buds and white gypsophila soften everything, and eucalyptus fills in with fragrance and movement. It is a genuinely full, layered arrangement - one that rewards a proper look rather than a passing glance.
Every stem is hand-tied at our Northampton studio on the day of delivery, wrapped in rich purple marble paper and finished with a hot pink satin ribbon bow.
What Is in This Bouquet
- Stargazer lilies - large, deeply fragrant pink blooms with dramatic star-shaped petals, some open and some still in bud on delivery
- Red roses - full, deeply saturated heads that anchor the warmer tones in the arrangement
- Magenta spray roses - smaller multi-headed stems in vivid pink that add movement and fill throughout
- Purple snapdragons - upright spike stems that add height, structure, and a rich jewel-toned colour note
- Silver-blue eryngium thistle - architectural, textural stems that provide contrast against the softer, rounder blooms
- Pale green lisianthus - delicate multi-headed buds that soften the palette and add lightness
- White gypsophila - fine clusters that fill the spaces between every larger bloom
- Eucalyptus and fern - fragrant foliage that frames the arrangement and adds a natural finish
- Purple marble wrap - rich purple and pink paper collar, finished with a hot pink satin ribbon bow
Why Stargazer Lilies
Stargazer lilies are prized for two things most flowers cannot offer together: genuine visual drama and real fragrance. The blooms are large enough to be the natural centre of attention, and the scent develops over the first day or two after the flowers open, filling a room in a way that most cut flowers simply do not. Because the lilies in this bouquet arrive at different stages - some open, some still in bud - the arrangement continues to change and develop over the days after delivery, rather than looking its best only on the day it arrives.

Caring for Stargazer Bloom
- Trim 2 cm from each stem at a diagonal angle as soon as the bouquet arrives and place in a clean vase with fresh, cool water
- Change the water every two days and re-trim the stems each time
- Keep away from direct sunlight, radiators, and draughts
- Remove lily stamens once the flowers open to avoid pollen staining on surfaces and fabric - this also helps the blooms last slightly longer
- Lily buds continue opening for 3 to 5 days after delivery, so the bouquet develops and the fragrance builds over the first week
- Snapdragons will continue opening upward from the base of the spike over several days
- Eryngium thistle can be air-dried once the fresher blooms fade, making a lasting keepsake from the bouquet

Keep Your Flowers Fresh Longer
Your beautiful Northampton flower delivery deserves expert care. Follow our local florist's proven tips to enjoy vibrant blooms for up to two weeks.
Immediate Care (First Hour)
Unpack promptly – Remove your flowers from packaging within 1 hour of delivery to prevent overheating.
Trim stems at an angle – Cut 2-3cm off each stem at a 45° angle using sharp scissors or secateurs. This increases water absorption.
Remove lower leaves – Strip any foliage that would sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
Use clean water – Fill your vase with fresh, cool tap water. Add the flower food sachet provided with your bouquet.
Daily Maintenance
Change water every 2 days – Fresh water prevents bacteria that shorten flower life. Rinse the vase thoroughly.
Re-cut stems – Trim another 1cm off stems each time you change the water.
Remove wilted blooms – Take out any dying flowers to keep the arrangement looking fresh and prevent bacteria spread.
Top up water daily – Flowers drink a lot, especially in the first few days.
Ideal Placement
Cool location – Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, radiators, and heating vents. Cooler temperatures (16-18°C) extend vase life.
Avoid fruit bowls – Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas which causes flowers to age faster.
Skip draughty spots – Avoid windowsills and doorways where temperature fluctuates.
Special Flower Types
Roses – Remove guard petals (outer petals) if damaged. Roses can last 7-12 days with proper care.
Lilies – Remove orange pollen stamens to prevent staining and extend bloom life. Lilies can last up to 2 weeks.
Tulips – These continue growing in the vase. Use less water (5-7cm) and keep very cool.
Sunflowers – Change water frequently as stems can become slimy. These bold blooms last 7-10 days.
Chrysanthemums – Hardy flowers that can last 2-3 weeks. Break stems rather than cutting for best results.
Troubleshooting
Drooping heads? Re-cut stems and place in deep, cool water for 2 hours to revive.
Cloudy water? Sign of bacteria. Change immediately and clean vase with diluted bleach.
Petals browning? Remove affected flowers and ensure vase isn't in direct heat or sunlight.
Expert Tip from Your Local Northampton Florist
Add a drop of bleach or vodka to your vase water (1 teaspoon per litre) as a natural antibacterial. This simple trick can add 3-4 extra days to your flower's vase life. At Blossom Surprise, we've been caring for Northampton's flowers since day one – these techniques really work!
