The Empress blends peach hydrangea, coral gerbera, vanda orchid and dried palm with Chinese lantern for a warm textural statement in Dubai.

The Empress sits in the coral and apricot range, and it is the most textural arrangement in The Majestic collection. Peach hydrangea anchors both sides, orange gerbera and coral chrysanthemum fill the centre, and blush spray roses and cream orchid soften the lower half. Pink vanda orchid rises on the right, and orange and yellow anthurium spathes catch the light at different angles.

The dried and tropical elements are what make it unusual. Orange Chinese lantern pods arch over the top left, dried palm fans in rust and terracotta spread behind the flowers, and eremurus spires rise through the back. Coral calla lilies drape down over the vessel edge. It is finished in the Amicis white cylinder with a blush ribbon.

This is a warm, sun-toned arrangement that suits interiors with natural light and neutral walls. The dried elements mean a large part of the composition stays intact long after the fresh flowers are finished.

Caring for your The Empress

Keep The Empress out of direct sun, which will fade both the coral tones and the dried palm. Water at the base and avoid wetting the dried elements, since the palm fans and lantern pods will soften and lose shape if they stay damp. Re-cut the gerbera and calla at an angle every two to three days and keep the water level moderate, as calla stems soften in deep water. Mist the hydrangea head only. When the fresh flowers are finished, lift them out and keep the dried structure as a standalone arrangement.

A note on your specific blooms

  • Hydrangea — Hydrangea takes up water through its petals — mist the heads and keep the vase topped up.
  • Gerbera — Gerbera has fragile stems — use shallow, clean water and support the heads.
  • Chrysanthemum — Chrysanthemum is sensitive to murky water — strip the lower leaves and refresh it often.
  • Anthurium — Anthurium prefers warmth — keep it away from the cold and wipe the leaf gently.
  • 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.
  • Eremurus — Stake or support the tall stems and keep them upright, as the heavy flower spike will bend toward the light if left to lean.
  • Gloriosa — Handle stems with care and keep them away from pets and children, as every part of the plant is toxic if ingested.
  • Palm Leaf — Submerge the cut frond fully in cool water for an hour before arranging, as palm foliage rehydrates best when the whole leaf is steeped and loses moisture quickly across its broad surface.

How long your flowers last

Expect roughly 10 to 16 days of good form, which is longer than most arrangements of this size because so much of the composition is dried. The gerbera and calla lily soften first at around day 5, and the spray roses follow. The hydrangea holds with misting. The vanda orchid and anthurium run 2 to 3 weeks. The Chinese lantern pods, dried palm fans and eremurus do not expire, so once the fresh stems are removed the arrangement can be kept as a dried piece rather than discarded.

The story behind these flowers

A closer look at the blooms gathered into this arrangement.

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.

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.

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.

Anthurium

Origin

Rainforests of Colombia & Ecuador

Documented

By botanists in the 1870s

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Hospitality, confidence & beauty

The anthurium's glossy, sculptural 'bloom' is in fact a modified leaf, with a poised tropical architecture few flowers can match. It lends Amicis designs a clean, modern edge — and one of the longest vase lives in the bouquet.

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.

Eremurus

Origin

Western and Central Asia

Cultivated since

Brought into European gardens in the 19th century

Fragrance

Faint and honeyed

Symbolises

Endurance, stature & grace

Native to the dry, rocky slopes of Western and Central Asia, Eremurus is known as the foxtail lily for its towering spire of hundreds of tiny star-shaped florets that open slowly from the base upward. In an arrangement it brings vertical drama and architecture, drawing the eye skyward and giving an Amicis design its sense of scale.

Gloriosa

Origin

Tropical Africa and Asia

Described

By Linnaeus in 1753

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Glory, boldness & passion

Also called the flame lily, Gloriosa is a tendril-climbing plant whose reflexed petals curl backward into a flickering wave of red and gold. That swept-back, almost weightless form gives an Amicis arrangement movement and a single point of drama that few other blooms can match.

Palm Leaf

Origin

Tropical and subtropical regions worldwide

Recorded

In the ancient world, for over 2,000 years

Fragrance

Fresh and green

Symbolises

Victory, peace & endurance

Carried as a symbol of triumph and peace across the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, the palm frond has signalled honour for over two thousand years. Its long, fanned blades bring architectural line and a calm tropical green to an arrangement, framing softer blooms with quiet structure. At Amicis it is used to give height, rhythm and a sense of composed space.
