This design has been made in a round basket, which has a metal insert with floral foam for the mechanics. I've use lovely autumn colours, and a selection of autumn berries and fruits. I've used Iris foliage for the height, with the foliage of Laurus nobilis (Bay), Fatsia japonica 'Aurea', Cotinus cogyggria 'Royal Purple' and Hedera colchica 'Sulphur Heart'. Seven pale peach Roses form the focal point, with three small apples to add interest. A selection of autumn berries on Berberis thunbergia purpurea, Cotoneaster, Hypericum and Pyracantha add to the autumn feel. Three spikes of orange Arum italicum 'Chameleon' brighten the design and give added interest and texture. Other flowers used are Hedera helix (Ivy), and autumn hued spray Chrysanthemums. Finally groups of wired Acorns (Quercus robusta) and Horse Chestnuts (Aesculus hippocastanum) complete the design. |
