The open, butterfly-shaped flowers create an elegant and airy texture, allowing the orange hue to truly shine. The color spectrum varies subtly with light and temperature, making each bouquet or border unique.

The orange flowers combine perfectly with other spring and summer flowers like ranunculus in shades of yellow or red, anemones, roses, and lisianthus. This creates harmonious, colorful bouquets and arrangements that immediately grab attention.
