Flower Ornithogalum

Ornithogalum is a subtropical plant, the second name is poultry. The leaves are basal, narrow. A leafless stalk whose length varies from 40 to 85 cm. Inflorescences are racemose. Ornithogalum petals are painted in white, yellow, cream and orange. You can buy a flower at any time of the year. It can stand for 2 to 4 weeks, gradually opening the buds and continuing to grow. Widely used in bouquets and compositions of different styles. May play the role of both the main element of the composition, and additions to other plants. Giving Ornigothalum, you wish health.

Before you put the flowers in water, recut the stems by 2–3 cm with a sharp knife or secateurs.

Use a clean vase and fresh water. Change the water every day, rinse the vase, and keep leaves out of the water.

When you change the water, recut the stems. This helps the flowers take up water and stay fresh longer.

Use a flower preservative or nutrient solution for cut flowers, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Keep the flowers in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, radiators, air conditioners, and draughts. The best temperature is from +5 to +20 °C.

Regularly remove wilted petals and leaves, especially any that fall into the water. As they decay they encourage bacteria, which makes the flowers wilt faster. The bouquet will then stay fresh and tidy for longer.

Do not put the bouquet next to fruit. Fruit gives off ethylene, which makes flowers wilt faster.

In industrial floriculture, a larger cut does not always mean a better flower.

Camellia's production approach means quality control all the way — from plant care and the microclimate to the selection of the rose once it has been cut.

The priority is therefore not the maximum number of flowers from each plant, but the characteristics of the product the customer ultimately receives.

More than 30 varieties of single-headed and spray roses are grown in the greenhouses.

The assortment does not stay unchanged. New varieties are trialled in production conditions, and their characteristics and potential are assessed.

Camellia also works with international companies that breed new rose varieties. For selected varieties, growing rights are obtained, including exclusive ones.

Quality does not end at the moment of cutting.

After preparation, every batch is sorted. The flowers are grouped by defined characteristics so the buyer receives a clear and predictable product.

Particular attention is paid to how uniform the roses are within one variety and category — an important characteristic both for florists and for bouquets with a large number of flowers.

There is a fundamentally important stage between cutting and packing.

The rose is first hydrated and goes through temperature preparation — and only then is it sorted and packed.

Freshness here is not only the answer to “when was the flower cut.” It is just as important what was done with it immediately after cutting.

The area of the glass greenhouses is 7.35 ha, or 73,500 m².

In peak periods the daily cut can reach up to 65,000 roses. This is a peak figure, not a daily average.

Today it is about 15 million roses a year. The actual volume depends, among other things, on the planting structure and the ratio of single-headed and spray varieties.

The production complex works with industrial volumes of roses. At the same time, a flower is a living product, so the actual availability of a particular variety, stem length, and required quantity depends on the current cut. Large volumes are agreed with the current production situation in mind.

Because hectares show how much area is used for growing, but they do not show the capacity of the whole chain that follows. Working with large volumes requires the right infrastructure beyond the greenhouses themselves — from moving the flower inside the complex to forming finished batches.
