For this design I have used a simple gold ceramic container, with floral foam for the mechanics. Very few flowers are used, just five green Anthuriums. Foliage used is Phormium tenax purpureum for the height, and this has been looped and stapled on the right of the design. At the base of the design I have used three Hedera colchica "Sulphur Heart" leaves, and on the left, two Equisetum hyemale stems, which have been bent into triangles. Three purple Heuchera leaves have been used to bring through the colour of the Phormium leaves, and a group of Bear Grass (Xerophyllum tenax) cascades to the left of the design. Finally, a small amount of lime-green Reindeer Moss adds light to the design. |
