Ask about the class’s instructions before organising a joint gift.","There may be another proposal too.

Gerbera is our suggestion and these sources do not present it as an official flower.","Gladiolus offers a different look with flowers along a spike, as NC State describes.

Emilija” may be enough. Let the pupil adapt the words if they want to take part. If several families share the gift agree who will carry it and which names will sign.
