Summer! Party!

For the base of this arrangement, an old Calocephalus brownii was spray painted a bronze color and placed on a bronze-colored pot. In it, widely "fanning out" from the base, white peacock feathers, sagebrush (Polygonatum), grasses and, slightly lower, beautiful Paeonia 'Claire de Lune' are inserted. The structure of Calocephalus fixes the plastic tubes of flowers well and invisibly. This impressive arrangement full of air and light is a real eye-catcher for a summer party!

Quiet

An Oasis Venezia Bowl is placed in a styrofoam mold and stuck on the
outside plastered with lichen. For this, Oasis cold glue was used because
hot glue often "eats away" the styrofoam. In the Venezia bowl a wig
of Calocephalus green. Between this beautiful base is Polianthes
'Elsa,' Astrantia and the white Agapanthus 'Glacier. Scutellaria
'Tinkerbell' and pretty Clematis fluff add a lovely touch.

Floating star

One ready-made large star and one small star are attached to each other at five points
via short tonkin sticks so that there is some space between the stars.
The double star is attached to several rope-wrapped thick
aluminum wires. This base is bent and fixed in the vase with hydro pellets.
Nobilis and Calocephalus
brownii were incorporated. Over these, as a base, tendrils of Clematis
fluff are attached. White thistle and Ornitogalum flowers were glued with cold glue.
Cape green buds placed on bouillon wire form a garland that hangs down with the line.
line hangs in the arrangement. Finally, white snowberry is incorporated

Ode to Aruba

The base is a boat form of Lunaria made by the gluing technique. The boat is filled with zinc fern (Phlebodium 'Blue Star'), Brunia, pampas grass (Cortaderia), silver bush (Calocephalus) and reused roots of Phalaenopsis. Cream-colored baubles and a petrified desert rose add a Christmas touch.

Inspiration for the materials used is Christmas in Aruba where tufts of pampas grass always play a role. 'Brunia brings to mind coral, zinc fern leaf to seaweed and Lunaria to shells.'

Kurisumasu keki

Prior to the holiday season, pastry stores all over Japan display their finest creations. As such, the Christmas cake, kurisumasu keki, is one of
the highlights of Japanese Christmas, a time full of romance and lights. For this floral Japanese Christmas cake with two layers, the base is made of Kalanchoe leaf and moss. Added to this are sprigs of Callicarpa, Rosa 'Country Blues', Hydrangea, Pinus strobus and rose-red Zantedeschia. Tufts of silver bush (Calocephalus) and champagne-colored baubles form festive accents.

Subdued

A 5mm aluminum wire was placed on a wooden base. On this, 2 mm aluminum wire was placed and coarsely kneaded into a Christmas tree model using the crush technique. Around this are cut pieces of the Calocephalus plant, or silver bush, wrapped with silver wire. The plants are super dry which also makes this little tree very long lasting! Two beautiful Kalanchoe leaves complete the look - here the art of omission applies.
