FLORAL DESIGNS

Looking down onto the arrangement

This design is suitable as a table centre for a low table, or a coffee table, as it is best viewed from above. I have used a large shallow brown ceramic bowl, with floral foam for the mechanics. I have grouped all the flowers and foliage, and the design is slightly domed. The flowers used are orange roses, pink roses, pink lilies, orange Dendranthema (Chrysanthemums), red Leucodendron, and one large green Chrysanthemum. The foliage used is Fatsia japonica, trimmed, Begenia, Hedera helix 'Ann Marie', Buxus sempervirens variegata, blue-green conifer (variety unknown), purple Heucheras 'Stormy Seas' and 'Plum Pudding'. All the flowers were from the florist, and all the foliage was from the garden. The picture on the left shows the design from above, and the two pictures below show the design from opposite sides.
