For this design, I have used an unusual round basket which has long willow rods attached. I have made the design using pink and green colours. Flowers used are Liatris spicata for the height, with some tiny green Dendranthema (Chrysanthemum) to the right. Some bright pink mini Gerbera, bright pink Carnations, and salmon pink Roses have been grouped to give blocks of colour lower down in the design. Foliage used is Pittosporum tenuifolium, (not visible), mottled Prunus laurocerasus 'Castlewellan', purple Heuchera 'Plum Pudding', and xFatshedera lizei 'Anna Mikkels'. To finish the design, the willow rods were gathered at the top and tied with a green raffia bow. |
