About Sola Wood Flowers
Sola wood flowers are an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to cut flowers. They are made from a woody plant called Aeschynomene aspera, that grows wild in marshes. Because it grows quickly, it is a renewable resource and one of the lightest known woods.
The Sola plant has a layer of bark that covers the internal, cork-like center of the plant. In most flowers, the bark is stripped and the cork-like center is made into thin sheets. These sheets are hand-cut to make sola wood flowers. Sometimes, the bark is left on before the creation of sheets, creating a unique two-tone effect on the flower. These are called ‘bark’ or ‘skin flowers’.
Each sola flower is hand-crafted by skilled artisans and no machines are used. Every flower is composed of petals that are hand-cut from the delicate sola wooden sheets, and then composed to create these fantastic flowers.
