Thanks for your comment Simon! It’s true that prices vary all over the world, depending on where your flowers come from. In South Africa, where the author’s floral shop is located, Gerberas are relatively affordable (After all, that is where the Gerbera or Barberton Daisy was discovered and first grown). From some of the comments above, it seems other florists would agree, but you make a good point that in other parts of the world, the prices may vary. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and adding value to this discussion.

I must disagree regarding the cost of Gerbera Daisies. In the USA, if you want a specific Gerbera -you know, just that right shade of pink to work with the ribbon that the Bride must have- you need to buy probably in multiples of 50 (if ex California and probably a higher multiple/box quantity if from the Dutch auctions or from Israel) and the price per stem IS noticeably higher than a white rose stem, whether from S. America or a grower such as Eufloria in California, such as Vendella or Mount Everest. Oriental lilies might be more cost effective than gerberas, depending upon the time of year and the fact that a single stem of a good oriental white such as Casablanca should give you 2 decent, large, blooms and possibly 3 and, if lucky, 4.

Gerberas are also prone to being “difficult” and even the best of florists can have problems with them as it all depends upon how well they have been treated and looked after from harvesting to arrival at the florist.

Great piece. We’ve noticed a definite shift toward the more simple, and less expensive flowers in the last five years or so, and Gerbera Daisies are tops on the list.
