Selene gathers white hydrangeas, cream garden roses and silver eucalyptus into a serene, moonlit study in white. Luxury flowers in Dubai, with same-day delivery.

Selene draws together white hydrangeas, cream garden roses, pale ranunculus and silver eucalyptus into a quiet, luminous composition. Named for the moon, it reads like light on water: soft, cool and unhurried. Each bloom is chosen for the way it holds a different shade of white, so the arrangement shifts gently as the light moves across it through the day.

The hydrangeas give Selene its volume and its cloud-like softness. Cultivated in Japanese and European gardens for centuries and long prized in Victorian floral language, they carry a sense of abundance and heartfelt gratitude. Their broad, lacy heads are made of dozens of tiny florets, lending a textural fullness that anchors the whole piece. Beside them, the cream garden roses bring an old-world elegance - a flower whose history runs from ancient Persia through the rose gardens of Europe, layered with dozens of ruffled petals and carrying a soft, honeyed fragrance. Roses have always spoken of love and quiet devotion, and in cream they feel tender rather than declarative. For more in this family, see our garden and spray roses.

The pale ranunculus add their own delicate detail: tissue-thin, tightly whorled petals that open slowly and gracefully, a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern native long admired for its papery refinement. Threaded throughout, silver eucalyptus contributes a cool grey-green and a clean, faintly camphorous scent that grounds the sweetness of the roses with something fresh and calming.

The palette stays within moonlit whites, creams and silvery greens, which is precisely what makes Selene so versatile. It is serene without being severe, luxurious without shouting, and it suits a calm bedroom, a considered dinner table, or a hotel lobby that favours restraint over colour. It speaks softly - ideal when the gesture matters more than the statement, and a natural fit among our white florals.

Every Selene is hand-finished by our florists in the Dubai atelier, arranged stem by stem for balance and movement. To keep it at its best, trim the stems on arrival, refresh the water every couple of days, and keep it out of direct sun.

Selene's calm, luminous palette suits moments that call for grace rather than grandeur:

  • Quiet luxury for a refined home or interior, where a soft, tonal palette is preferred over bold colour
  • Sympathy and get-well wishes, where serenity and gentleness say more than words
  • Anniversaries and milestones marked with understated, heartfelt elegance
  • Hotel, hospitality and event settings that favour a composed, monochrome look

A considered choice for anyone who appreciates softness, light and a sense of calm.

Selene is composed with these confirmed floral components:

Calla Lily, Chrysanthemum, Delphinium, Forget-me-not, Gerbera, Hydrangea, Orchid, Rose.

Final stem counts and supporting seasonal accents may vary slightly with market availability.

Caring for your Selene

Keep Selene in a clean vase out of direct sun and away from any draught or ripening fruit, and top up the water daily, as the roses drink heavily and the hydrangea takes in moisture through its petals as much as its stem. Mist the hydrangea heads lightly if they begin to look tired, and give the woody rose and hydrangea stems a fresh angled cut so they keep drawing water. Handle the delphinium and forget-me-not gently, since their slender stems bruise and snap more easily than the rest. The calla lily prefers a shallower water level to protect its smooth stem from going soft, while the orchid asks for little beyond steady, cool conditions to outlast everything around it.

A note on your specific blooms

  • Calla Lily — Re-cut the thick, fleshy stems on an angle and keep water shallow, as callas are prone to softening if stood too deep.
  • Chrysanthemum — Chrysanthemum is sensitive to murky water — strip the lower leaves and refresh it often.
  • Delphinium — Keep the tall stems in deep, fresh water and out of draughts, as Delphinium drinks heavily and wilts quickly if the vase runs low.
  • Forget-me-not — Forget-me-nots tire quickly in warmth, so keep the vase cool and out of direct sun and refresh the water often.
  • Gerbera — Gerbera has fragile stems — use shallow, clean water and support the heads.
  • Hydrangea — Hydrangea takes up water through its petals — mist the heads and keep the vase topped up.
  • Orchid — Keep orchid stems in cool, clean water away from ripening fruit, whose ethylene gas makes the blooms drop early.
  • Rose — Roses drink heavily — re-cut the stems at an angle every couple of days.

How long your flowers last

Across this particular mix, expect a vase life of roughly 5–7 days at full strength, with the bouquet holding its shape well beyond that as individual stems bow out at their own pace. The orchids are the long game here, often lasting 2–3 weeks, while the calla lily and chrysanthemum tend to hold a steady 7–14 days. The delphinium, forget-me-not, hydrangea, and rose are the first to soften, so the look of the arrangement shifts as those finer stems fade and the sturdier blooms carry on. At Amicis we recommend changing the water every two days and trimming a centimetre from each stem at an angle when you do, which is the single habit that buys you the most time across the whole composition.

The story behind these flowers

A closer look at the blooms gathered into this arrangement.

Calla Lily

Origin

Southern Africa

Cultivated since

Reached Europe in the 1600s

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Grace, purity & devotion

Native to southern Africa, the calla's signature is not a petal at all but a single furled spathe wrapped around a slender golden spadix. That clean, sculptural curve is why it reads as architecture rather than bloom – one stem lends an Amicis arrangement quiet, modern poise.

Chrysanthemum

Origin

East Asia — China & Japan

Cultivated since

Over 3,000 years in China

Fragrance

Soft, earthy and herbal

Symbolises

Longevity, joy & well-wishing

One of the oldest cultivated flowers, prized in China and Japan for three thousand years and honoured with its own festival. Its dense, textured heads bring depth and a long, dependable life to an arrangement.

Delphinium

Origin

Native across the Northern Hemisphere, through Europe and Asia

Cultivated since

In European gardens for centuries

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Openness, lightness & positivity

Named from the Greek for dolphin, after the shape of the flower itself, Delphinium carries blooms in graduated spires of cobalt, violet and white. That vertical line is what makes it indispensable in an arrangement - it draws the eye upward and gives an Amicis design its sense of height and architecture.

Forget-me-not

Origin

Temperate Europe and Asia

Named

Common name in use since medieval Europe

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Remembrance, devotion & true love

Its botanical name, Myosotis, comes from the Greek for "mouse's ear," after the soft, low leaves - while its common name carries an older European plea to be remembered. In an arrangement, its tiny sky-blue stars scatter like quiet light between fuller blooms, lending an Amicis piece a delicate, sentimental depth no larger flower can.

Gerbera

Origin

South Africa

Described

By science in 1889

Fragrance

Barely scented, lightly fresh

Symbolises

Cheerfulness, warmth & innocence

The gerbera daisy brings open, sunlit colour and a graphic simplicity to a bouquet. Native to South Africa and loved worldwide, its clean single bloom adds brightness and a friendly, contemporary note to Amicis designs.

Hydrangea

Origin

Japan & the Americas

Cultivated since

Reached European gardens in the 1700s

Fragrance

Very light, fresh and green

Symbolises

Heartfelt emotion & gratitude

Named from the Greek for 'water vessel', the hydrangea carries full, cloud-like heads that shift colour with the soil — from blush and cream to deep blue. Its generous volume gives Amicis bouquets their soft, romantic fullness.

Orchid

Origin

Tropical regions worldwide

Cultivated since

Prized in Asia for centuries; carried to Europe across the 18th and 19th centuries

Fragrance

Most cut varieties virtually scentless

Symbolises

Refinement, luxury & rare beauty

Among the largest plant families on earth, orchids took root across the tropics of Asia and the Americas, cultivated in Asia long before reaching the West. Victorian collectors then chased them across the globe, fuelling a famous European craze. Their arched stems and sculptural blooms bring quiet architecture to an arrangement, holding their form for weeks where softer flowers fade.

Rose

Origin

Asia — China, Persia & the Mediterranean

Cultivated since

Over 5,000 years

Fragrance

Warm and sweet, of honey & tea

Symbolises

Love, gratitude & admiration

The most storied flower in the world, grown and gifted for five millennia. Its layered petals and soft scent have made it the universal language of affection — and the quiet anchor of almost every Amicis arrangement.
