What Is the Lake Ontario Bouquet? Canada's Trending Carnation Arrangement
The Lake Ontario Bouquet is a fresh flower arrangement from Florist.ca made up of 12 assorted-colour carnations and 4 stems of mixed greenery, hand-arranged and starting at $39.99 CAD. It’s available for same-day delivery in most Canadian cities when ordered by 1 p.m. local time, and it’s currently one of Canada’s trending flower searches.
What flowers are in the Lake Ontario Bouquet?
The bouquet contains exactly 12 stems of assorted-colour carnations paired with 4 stems of fresh assorted greenery. Carnation colours rotate with seasonal availability, so every arrangement is slightly different — expect a bright mix rather than a single fixed palette.
Carnations are the workhorse of the arrangement for a reason: their ruffled, densely petalled blooms hold their shape and colour for two to three weeks in a vase, which is among the longest vase lives of any commonly sold cut flower. That makes the Lake Ontario Bouquet a practical pick when you want a gift that still looks fresh a week after it arrives. A vase is not included; one can usually be added at checkout.
How much does the Lake Ontario Bouquet cost?
| Size | Price (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Regular | $39.99 |
| Deluxe | $44.99 |
| Supersize | $49.99 |
All three sizes are built on the same carnation-and-greenery recipe, with fuller arrangements at each step up. Prices current as of September 2026.
Can I get the Lake Ontario Bouquet delivered today?
Yes — in most Canadian cities, orders placed by 1 p.m. local time qualify for same-day delivery. Coverage runs from Halifax to Vancouver, including the Lake Ontario shoreline communities the bouquet is named for: Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Oakville, and beyond.
Where does the name come from?
The bouquet takes its name from Lake Ontario, the Great Lake that borders Toronto, Hamilton, and much of Southern Ontario. Like the lake, the arrangement is a year-round fixture: carnations are available in every season, so it isn’t tied to a short growing window the way peony or tulip arrangements are.
How do I keep it looking fresh?
Three habits cover most of it: recut the stems at an angle when the bouquet arrives, refresh the water every two days, and keep the vase away from direct sun and ripening fruit. Our full guide to how long carnations last walks through each step.
