FLORAL DESIGNS

DESIGN 165

This design is in the European parrallel style. I have used a dark green rectangular plastic designer dish and floral foam for the mechanics. For the height, I have used two placements of Iris germanica leaves. The flowers are grouped in parrallel lines, and when doing this type of design, the flowers should be arranged upright, but not in a vertical straight line. The line should be staggered slightly, so that you don't end up with a striped effect! The flowers should also be arranged upright one in front of the other, and NOT fanning forward. I have used two groups of blue Nepeta mussini 'Six Hills Giant', with a group of orange Roses on the left and peach standard Carnations on the right. In the centre, I have used a group of green spray Chrysanthemums. The foliage is grouped and layered, and I have used Hedera colchica 'Sulphur Heart', Hedera helix 'Buttercup', Rubus tricolor, and Hosta 'Revolution'. Finally, I have added a few strands of lime-green sisal for added texture and colour repetition.
