DESIGN 54

This design is a traditional symmetrical triangle shape. The vase is white ceramic, and is a traditional urn shape. The colour scheme is green and white. I have used Cordyline australis leaves for the height, and other foliage used is Cotoneaster horizontalis, Hosta 'Night Before Christmas', and white-variegated Hedera helix 'Ann Marie'. Flowers used are white Lissianthus (syn. Eustoma), Libertia grandiflora, white standard Carnations, creamy-white Matthiola incana (Stocks), green button Chrysanthemums, Phlomis russelliana (in bud), and for the focal point, white 'Cassablanca' Lilies. For added interest and a change of texture, three green wicker balls have been added to the arrangement, and a further three have been placed at the base of the vase to bring the colour down and to take away from the dominance of the white vase.

All the foliage was from the garden, and all the flowers were from the florist, except the Libertia grandiflora and the Phlomis russelliana, which were from the garden.
