Nederlands Autumn Calls for Flowers
This season — autumn — calls for flowers.
When the colours shift from fresh green to golden yellow and scarlet red. When the wind rustles through the trees and a cool breeze flows through the house and through our minds. Isn’t that the ultimate autumn feeling ?
It’s the time when we bring the warmth of the past season indoors. When the scent of rain-soaked paths awakens nostalgic memories and brings a smile to our face, even if it’s raining outside. Golden rays of sunlight sneak in and give our days a soft, glowing edge. Let’s be honest — autumn isn’t just a season, it’s a feeling.
Celebrate Seasons – Autumn Calls for Flowers
Retreat with autumn and embrace the season. Feel it, smell it, taste it — and let’s start with flowers!
Autumn flowers shine in warm, rich colours that brighten the colder days of the year and remind us that beauty isn’t bound by season.
Typical Autumn Flowers
Flowers are what autumn is all about. Think of chrysanthemums, asters, and rose hips. Or take a closer look at Veronica, Hypericum, Crocosmia, and Scabiosa — if that’s not autumn beauty, what is?

Warmth, Colour and Joy in Your Home with Chrysanthemums
A fan of chrysanthemums?
In China and Japan, people have admired this flower for centuries and rightly so! This “golden flower” brings warmth and colour, shines in every bouquet, and is known for its long-lasting beauty. Let’s get to know the chrysanthemum.
Colours and Shapes of the Chrysanthemum
It’s easy to forget that the chrysanthemum was originally yellow. Nowadays, it’s available in a stunning array of colours. Add vibrancy to your home with chrysanthemums in warm golden, bronze-red or deep orange shades. Or go for a softer look with white, pink or purple hues.
This beautiful bloom comes in many varieties, allowing your inner stylist to play: spray chrysanthemums, disbudded types, and the compact santini chrysanthemums, where the small flowers branch out from one stem giving them a unique look! And that’s not all the flower shapes are endless, from single to double blooms and from spider-like petals to pompon forms.
The Symbolism of the Chrysanthemum
With the elegant chrysanthemum, you bring both colour and happiness into your home. This flower symbolizes joy and good health. Looking for an extra festive surprise? Consider sending birthday balloons together with a beautiful bouquet!
The Origin of the Chrysanthemum
In Asia, chrysanthemums have been cherished for centuries. They originate from China and Japan, where they quickly captured hearts. Around 1700, the chrysanthemum made its way to Europe. Its name comes from Greek: chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower) originally referring to the golden-yellow colour of its first varieties.

The meaning of flowers for Mother’s Day: Say it with flowers!
Hey flower lover! Mother’s Day is just around the corner and let’s be honest: mom deserves the very best, right? And what could be better than surprising her with a bunch of flowers that really say something? Yep, flowers can talk! Well, not literally of course, but they do have their own ‘language’. Cool, right?
The hidden language of flowers
For centuries, we have been using flowers to express our feelings. Did you know that in the Victorian era, people could have entire conversations using just flowers? There were even flower dictionaries! This way, you could secretly send messages to your loved one. Super handy when your parents were around, haha!
Nowadays, this flower symbolism has faded into the background, but on days like Mother’s Day, it comes back to life. Because let’s face it, a flower is nice, but a flower with a story? Now that’s special!
Red roses – More than just romance!
If you think about roses, you probably immediately think of Valentine’s Day and romantic love. But wait a minute! On Mother’s Day, red roses take on a whole new meaning. They represent deep appreciation and unconditional love. You’re basically saying: “Mom, you’re my rock!”
My tip? Combine red roses with some green eucalyptus for a timeless bouquet that every mother will appreciate. The scent of eucalyptus is also super good for the respiratory tract – a healthy bonus!
Peonies – The divas of flowers
Oh, peonies… these flowers are truly the divas of flowerland! They start out as little balls and open up into lush, full blooms that fill your room with their soft scent. It’s no wonder they’re so popular on Instagram!
Peonies symbolize luxury, prosperity, and gratitude. They’re basically saying, “Mom, you deserve the best and I’m so grateful for everything you do!” These flowers are seasonal (usually from April to June) so it’s extra special if you can score them on Mother’s Day! Every year, I hear moms excitedly exclaim when they receive a bouquet of peonies: “Are those really peonies?!”
Lilies – Elegance in a Flower
Lilies are those elegant, elongated flowers that fill your room with their enchanting scent. They represent purity, tenderness, and—you guessed it—unconditional motherly love. A white lily says: “Mom, your love is pure and powerful.”
A little warning: be careful with lilies if you have cats in the house! They can be poisonous to our four-legged friends. And another pro tip: remove the stamens (those brown things in the middle) when they open. Otherwise you will get those annoying orange stains on your clothes that will never come out. Been there, done that!
Gerberas – For the colorful mothers
Do you know those mothers who are always cheerful and radiate energy? These are typical ‘gerbera mothers’! These radiant flowers with their open faces represent zest for life, cheerfulness and optimism.
Gerberas come in so many colours that you can hardly choose. Yellow stands for friendship, pink for admiration and red for love. Mix them for an explosion of colour and emotion! I often give them to my cheerful mother-in-law who is always ready with a warm smile and a steaming cup of tea.
Forget-me-nots – Small but powerful
These little blue flowers have a big meaning! They stand for – you guessed it – ‘forget me not’ and true love. Perfect for moms who may live a little further away but are always in your heart.
Forget-me-nots are subtle and can be beautifully combined with larger blooms. They say, “Mom, even though I don’t see you every day, you’re always in my thoughts.” How cute is that?
Sunflowers – For radiant mothers
Is your mother always positive and sunny? Then sunflowers are her flower! These cheerful giants literally turn towards the sunlight – just like your mother always looks for the positive in life.
Sunflowers stand for adoration, loyalty and longevity. They say: “Mom, you are my sunshine!” And let’s be honest, who doesn’t get happy from such a cheerful yellow head looking at you?
Create a personal bouquet
The nice thing about flowers is that you can mix and match to say exactly what you want! Is your mother caring but also a little wild? Then combine some single flowers with wild grasses. Is she elegant but also warm? Then try lilies with some warm orange flowers in between.
At deBloemist.nl we are happy to help you put together a bouquet that perfectly suits your mother. Our florists are true artists in translating your feelings into a beautiful flower arrangement!
Caring for flowers – How to keep them beautiful for longer
When you give your mother flowers, you naturally want her to enjoy them for as long as possible! Here are some care tips:
- Cut the stems diagonally before putting them in a vase
- Change the water every 2-3 days
- Keep flowers out of direct sunlight and away from fruit (fruit gives off ethylene, which makes flowers wilt faster)
- Add a little flower food on the water
Have a bouquet delivered with meaning
Don’t live near your mother? No worries! At deBloemist.nl we deliver throughout the Netherlands. You can create the perfect Mother’s Day bouquet online that perfectly matches her personality. We deliver with a freshness guarantee and you can add a personal message on a card.
Order in time for Mother’s Day, because it is one of our busiest days of the year! And believe me, there is nothing like the surprise of an unexpected delivery to the door. That smile on mom’s face? Priceless!
So, what will it be this year? A classic rose, a lush peony or that cheerful gerbera? Whatever you choose, your mother will be happy that you thought of her. Because in the end, it is not about the most expensive flowers, but about the feeling behind them. And that is the real meaning of flowers on Mother’s Day!

Make your own Christmas piece
Make your own Christmas piece. There’s nothing as nice as a bit of December atmosphere at home! With the holidays approaching, it’s time to think about the nicest decorations. In addition to a beautiful tree, wreath or lighting, a festive Christmas arrangement should not be missing. The best thing about a Christmas piece? You can easily make it yourself. Beautiful for your own living room, but also great to give as a gift! In this blog you will find out how to make a Christmas piece step by step.
What do you need to make your own Christmas piece?
To get started, you need a good base with which to make your Christmas piece. Buy green oasis (this is a kind of foam) or clay for this. It is also useful to have iron wire, a knife and a pair of cord scissors ready. And for the Christmas piece itself? You can use anything for that. Choose some beautiful branches from your garden or go looking in the forest. Use Christmas baubles, pine cones, garlands or other Christmas decorations. Also consider including a candle in your Christmas decoration. Of course you can also go to the garden center for the most beautiful materials.
Ideas for your Christmas piece
What your Christmas piece will look like is entirely up to you. Let your creativity run wild! Are you looking for some inspiration? Then think about the shape of your Christmas piece. For example, make a Christmas arrangement on a platter, fill a wicker basket with your most beautiful Christmas material, or use a vase as a base for your Christmas arrangement. Or go for terracotta pots or a Christmas garland. And how about a Christmas piece in the shape of a wreath?
Step by step how to make your own Christmas piece
Your materials are ready and you are bursting with ideas. Time to get started! How do you make your own Christmas piece?
Soak the oasis in water for at least an hour. When the green foam is thoroughly wet, you can start. Of course it is also possible to make your Christmas piece with clay.
Cut the foam or clay to the correct size for the shape you have chosen. This base should extend one or two centimeters above your shape.
Do you opt for a low piece? Then start with the sides. For a high piece, start with the back.
Cut the branches diagonally so that you can easily insert them into the foam or clay. Another advantage is that the branches absorb water better, so your Christmas arrangement stays beautiful for longer.
If you also use a candle in your piece, insert it after the first branches. Keep it safe and make sure the lit candle doesn’t come into contact with the rest of your Christmas arrangement.
Now let’s get started with the rest of the Christmas piece. Continue working from the outside in for a low piece, or from back to front for a high piece.
Make sure that all your material is clearly visible.
Done with the branches? Then it’s time for the decorations. Choose a nice spot for your Christmas baubles, pine cones or other extras. Would you prefer a quieter Christmas piece? Then leave out the extra decoration.
Now just the finishing touches. Fill every spot that is still empty with, for example, a little moss or a few beautiful berries. This is how you complete your unique Christmas piece!
Would you rather have a Christmas piece delivered? At deBloemist.nl you have a wide choice and can easily have flowers delivered to any address in the Netherlands. Choose the date and part of the day that suits you best and before you know it we will be on your doorstep. This is how you will get through the dark months!
