This is a basket arangement made in a traditional style. The basket has been lined inside with tinfoil to make it waterproof, and I've used floral foam for the mechanics. I have bound the handle with lime green paper ribbon, to add a bit of style and interest to it. The outline of design has been defined with linear foliage, in this case, Cotoneaster. Some larger Hedera helix and Heuchera "Liquorice" leaves have been added in the centre to give a contrast of form and colour, and to help cover the mechanics. I've also added some trails of variegated Hedera helix. Next, I have added 5 stems of pale pink spray carnations. Then 10 deep pink roses have been added, whilst 5 pale green "Prado" Carnations have been used for the focal flowers. Some lime-green "Yoko Ono" spray Chrysanthemums have been used for recession, and to lift the design and bring out the colour of the handle. Finally, I've used some pink Chamelaucium uncinatum (Waxflower) for filler flowers, and to add texture and contrast of form.

Compare this design with two other traditional style basket arrangements - design136, and design190, made in the same basket.
