This is summer, indeed!
A bouquet with all shades of salmon, orange and pink ‘captured’ in a circle of Panicum grasses. For a round frame, Chaenomeles branches, with beautiful thick flower buds sprouting, are tied together. The flowers are inserted in between: Campanula, Limonium, Tagetes, dill, Ranunculus ‘Butterfly’ and the spray rose ‘Femke’.
Cycle
For this base, a vase is three-quarters filled with Oasis Floral Foam Bio for the heavy stems; the upper part of the vase is filled with Oasis TerraBrick for the softer stems and a beautiful finish. The base is made of dried sunflowers and dried roadside flowers from last summer. The tulips, Clematis Amazing Sevilla, Sanguisorba 'Red Dream', Talinum 'Long John', Chaenomeles, Fritillaria meleagris, Geranium, Hamamelis, Helleborus 'Bella Belles', Ranunculus, and Polianthes tuberosa 'grow' through this frame. All materials are arranged in a natural-looking parallel manner.
More with less
The inspiration for this bouquet is the theme of sustainability – how to create a lot of impact with few flowers. The base is a structure of fine branches: Salix and Chaenomeles japonica. Vertical branches are attached to two circles of fine Salix branches. When the branches are firmly interlocked and the structure remains stable, the fine flowers can be added: Craspedia, Gloriosa, French tulips, Sandersonia and leaves of Begonia maculata leaves. Then, the whole is placed in a flat gold-colored bowl with water.
Spring welcome
The sturdy base is made of a wooden pillar of scaffolding wood to which birch logs are attached. The two large water pipes are each mounted on wooden panels with a structure of gold-colored tile adhesive. The whole is interconnected by a branch construction made of wild honeysuckle vines. The following materials are incorporated in the water pipes: French tulip, Crassula 'Paintball Pop', Sandersonia, Viburnum 'Roseum', Chaenomeles, and pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana).
Family
Salix branches are bound in parallel with deco wire around a number of robust glass tubes. The branches are positioned a few centimeters above the bottom so that they appear to float. To maintain this effect, the processed flower stems do not extend below the Salix branches. Flowers used: Polianthes ‘Epic Elsa’, P. ‘Epic Elle’, P. ‘Epic Eva’, Helleborus ‘Mammoth Red’, Clematis ‘Amazing London’, Talinum ‘Long John’, Nerine ‘Sofie’, Tulipa jonquieres, Chaenomeles.
The light and elegant arrangement works well as a complete presentation, but the various components can also be sold separately.
