### Yellow bouquets in Bali: what runs all year and what does not Yellow is one of the few colours available in some form every week of the year, which is why it rarely comes up in conversations about season. That availability hides a real difference between a yellow ordered in May and a yellow ordered in December. The dependable part of the list here is short. Imported roses arrive at 60 to 90 cm all year, Ecuadorian stems reach 120 cm, and orchids hold a steady tone whenever they are asked for. A bouquet built on those alone looks much the same in any month. Everything with character on top of that is seasonal. Peonies come and go with their season, so a yellow arrangement that leans on them in one month cannot be repeated in another. Ranunculus behaves the same way and is worth naming when shape matters, because its tight layered head sits very differently in a bouquet from an open rose. Lisianthus fills the gap between the two and takes a paler, cooler yellow than either of them. Tropical foliage then decides how the whole thing reads, since a glossy green next to yellow pulls the mix towards lime. Ordering across seasons without saying which of these carried the last bouquet is where most repeat orders come apart. #### What to send with the order - The month, not only the colour, since the seasonal half of the list changes underneath the same word. - Whether an earlier bouquet has to be matched, because that decides whether we build on roses or on seasonal material. - The address. Seminyak, Canggu and Sanur run 90 to 150 minutes, while Uluwatu, Tabanan and remote villas take 3 to 4 hours. - Where it will stand, since a yellow bouquet against a pale wall flattens into a patch and against dark wood keeps its shape. We work 9 AM to 10 PM, orders start from 650000 IDR, and payment goes through QRIS, GoPay, OVO, DANA or cash to the courier. Above 30 °C with high humidity we wrap firmly and add a cooling element. The drier months, roughly April to October, are easier on a pale petal than the November to March rains, when a box that has travelled through a downpour gets checked before the handover rather than after it. Cold lemon and warm egg yellow do not blend, so when both are wanted, something white or a solid block of foliage has to sit between them. Vase and background do more for this colour than most people expect. Clear glass or white keeps it clean, warm ceramic argues with it, and terracotta takes the freshness out in the same way a warm wrap does. Direct sun is the other habit that costs the colour, since petals bleach to cream while the stems are still firm. Repeat orders are the reason we ask for the month. A birthday falling in the same week every year still lands in a different part of the seasonal list depending on how that year has run, so matching last time's photograph means naming the flower rather than the shade. > "People order yellow by the word and get surprised twice a year. Name the month and the flower, and the surprise goes away." > JFLOO florist Yellow bouquets in Bali read as warmth without romance, which suits a colleague, a teacher, a neighbour or a villa host. Say which month the last one went out in when you want the same thing again, and we will tell you which part of it can be repeated and which part has to be replaced with something in season.
