Blush Pink Tahitian Gardenia

The gardenia in the language of flowers carries meanings of secret love, purity, and the message that the sender finds the recipient lovely — a message that arrives, like the gardenia itself, before the recipient has fully understood what is happening. In Tahitian tradition the gardenia is worn behind the ear to signal availability. In blush pink, on a wall, it signals that someone made a considered decision about this room.

A Mother's Day gift that goes on the wall and stays there — not flowers that last a week, not a candle that burns down. The Blush Pink Tahitian Gardenia is a ceramic wall flower that will be on the wall on the next Mother's Day and the one after that. Ships in a custom Chive gift box, requires one screw, and is the kind of gift that communicates you thought about this. Free shipping on qualifying orders.

A gift for a best friend who will understand that you found something she would never have found herself and would not have spent the money on even if she had. The Blush Pink Tahitian Gardenia is specific, handmade, and goes on the wall permanently. Ships gift-ready in a custom Chive box. One screw. Free shipping on qualifying orders. The gardenia knew before you got off the plane. She will too.

Maximalist decor works when every piece earns its place. The Blush Pink Tahitian Gardenia is theatrical enough in form and warm enough in color to hold its own in a full room. The Tahitian gardenia is larger than a standard gardenia — wider petals, more presence, the kind of bloom that was designed to be noticed. In a maximalist room it is the warmest and most welcoming thing on the wall.

Boho decor rewards objects with warmth, organic form, and the quality of having been somewhere specific. The Blush Pink Tahitian Gardenia is handmade, botanical, and warm — the kind of piece that reads as collected in a boho room rather than ordered. The Tahitian gardenia form is organic and specific: it does not look like a generic flower. It looks like a decision.

Yes. The Blush Pink Tahitian Gardenia is the specific flower that arrives around your neck in the opening scene of a certain kind of situation, blush pink and slightly too fragrant, before you have had time to understand what is happening. Ricardo Montalban is already smiling. You are already committed to something you have not yet agreed to. The gardenia was complicit in all of this before your luggage came off the carousel. It is on the wall now, which is a more transparent position. You can see exactly where it is.

It ships in a custom Chive gift box, which means you don't have to do anything except hand it over. The packaging is the kind that people keep after the flower is on the wall, which we take as a compliment. Ships with free shipping on qualifying orders.

Ninety seconds, give or take the time it takes to find a screw. The ceramic wall flower has a keyhole slot on the back. Mark the wall, put the screw in, hang the flower. One screw, no tools required after that. If you spend longer than five minutes, something has gone wrong and the problem is not the flower.
