Product Details
Known officially as Gerbera daisies, this softly hued silk daisy is also known as The Gerber Daisy. In the
world of flowers, the daisy has always symbolized innocence and are associated with gentle beauty, loyal love, purity
and secret love. It is sometimes associated with the fifth wedding anniversary. The Gerber daisy is adored
by people of all ages around the world and offers a stunning signature when worn in the hair or as a fashion accessory.
This large Gerber beauty was hand selected to be added to the Karen Marie Le Fleur Collection after an
extended period of searching through silk flower suppliers and manufacturers from around the world for several months.
Close your eyes and use your fingertips to touch this classically shaped daisy flower and you just might think that
you have the real thing. In fact, you may be tempted to take a deep whiff since the flower looks so authentic to
the real deal. The difference is that this gorgeous Karen Marie Gerber will not wilt, fade or turn brown.
It will remain gorgeous and vibrant for many seasons of accessory embellishment.
The gorgeous petals made out of a soft yet firm silk material (to help hold the shape of the petals) are
arranged in a series of graduated sized circles so that the Gerber opens into full view and displays the inner darker
center. The two outer circles of petals are full and robust with approximately 20-22 petals that are oval
shaped and measure approxiately 1 3/4 to 2" in length and 1/4" in width.
The entire flower has a total span of approximately 4 1/4" to 4 1/2" in diameter. This would be considered
a large sized flower and would be ideal for hair lengths that are medium to long. Because this is a large
flower that has a flat profile, it can not be reshaped to a different size or shape. Its integrity is built around
the fact that it is a fully open, flat Gerber daisy, identical to one you might pick from the field.
The Gerber Daisy is carefully attached to a nickel based traditional salon clip that measures approximately
1 3/4" to 1 7/8" that has been wrapped in soft green floral tape (to make the clip "hair friendly") and
carefully hot glued to the base of the poppy with a satin leave. The Gerber can be clipped onto the back
of a gorgeous updo, French or non-traditional twist or on a hat, belt, shoes or handbag.
Imported from the Orient, the flower was hand assembled in the USA.
