FLORAL DESIGNS

DESIGN 98

This arrangement has been made in a basket which is covered in coconut fibre, and has a tall square wooden handle. I have added a plastic dish inside, with floral foam for the mechanics. I have kept the arrangement quite upright, and grouped the flowers and foliage. Foliage used is Phormium tenax (for the height), Fatshedera lizei variegata, Paeonia (tree Peony) which has turned dark pink autumn colours, purple Vitis vinifera purpurea, and a variety of Buxus (Box) with quite broad leaves. Flowers used are blue Eryngium (Sea Holly), purple Lissianthus (Eustoma), pink Roses, deep pink Carnations, deep red Chrysanthemums, and pink Chamelaucium uncinatum (Waxflower). I have also added a small group of gold curled cane, just to give a bit of a lift to the arrangement.
