This arrangement is a traditional vertical style. This is a very slender triangle, which is not more than two or three inches wider than the container. If this was to be made for a competition, then the arrangement should be no wider than the container. However, as this is just for the home, we don't need to worry too much about the width! I have used a tall square neutral-coloured pottery container, with floral foam for the mechanics. I have established the height with three narrow leaves of Phormium tenax purpurea. I have added some stems of red Cornus alba to form the outline of the design. The width has been established with Hedera (Ivy) leaves, and some Heuchera "Beauty Colour" leaves have been added to tone with the Phormium leaves and to give a contrast of colour. Some stems of box have been added as a filler foliage. Flowers used were five white Roses for the focal area, five stems of pink/white spray Carnations, a stem of green "Kermit" Chrysanthemums for recession, and a stem of pink Waxflower (Chamelaucium uncinatum) for transition.
