Spring longings
The base is a wreath made of wild Clematis vines from the forest. The wreath is placed on a large enamel dish with moss. A number of Oasis spheres are placed on top, covered with gray-white foliage for a wintery atmosphere. The dish is further filled with Amaryllis bulbs, Clematis fluff, leaves of Stachys, Senecio, and Eucalyptus. The emerging green tips of the leftover Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête' bulbs evoke a longing for spring.
Wonderfully exuberant
This exuberant bouquet in this distinctive vase features, among other things, Callicarpa bodinieri, Amaranthus ‘Red Velvet’, smoke bush (Cotinus ‘Royal Purple’), and Clematis Amazing Star River. For this purpose, a small wreath of Oasis sec is covered with bark and moss and then glued to the vase. The flowers are inserted into the vase through this.
The beautiful warm shades of lilac, purple, pink, and red fit well with the
exuberant color schemes of this winter.
Winter Queen
A short search at a garden sculpture dealer immediately yielded the right Winter Queen. The beautiful bronze head was adorned with lush flowers and winter branches. A base made of Oasis floral foam, filled with tendrils of Hedera and hop, was created on the back of the head. The flowers, branches and other winter materials are inserted in between. Materials: Nerine ‘Sophie’, holly (Ilex verticillata), roses, Gloriosa, tiger lily, Clematis fluff, cotton branches, prepared dandelion, Eucalyptus berry and beans.
Peony Splendor
The base is covered with trendy metallic denim. This, combined with a wrapping of white sticks, forms the basis of this summery arrangement, in which the peony 'Coral Sunset' is in the spotlight. Tendrils of jasmine and Ceropegia are incorporated through the stick wrapping. Other summer flowers used: Clematis Amazing Vienna and lilies of the valley. The light green Begonia leaf brings tranquility to the arrangement.
Happily floating
For this summery floating wreath, pieces of styrofoam are glued under the floral foam wreath with mounting adhesive – allow to harden for 24 hours. The styrofoam keeps the wreath afloat. The floral foam is then ajour arranged with various flowers in pastel shades: Italian Ruscus, soft pink spray rose 'Pepita', golden yellow Rosa 'Golden Lady', pink-yellow Rosa 'Romantic Vuvuzela', Clematis Amazing Miami, feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), lisianthus 'Blue Château', Lathyrus 'Mango', lilac Campanula medium, and Panicum 'Heavy Metal'.
Lilac
A frame made of flat lilac aluminum wire, with a large and a small metal ring wrapped with lilac bullion wire. The stem is made of 5mm thick aluminum wire, again wrapped with lilac bullion wire. A kind of opening of a wreath has been created between the flat aluminum wire. The decorative Talinum 'Long John' is incorporated here by placing the side branches on long strands of wire. These are processed together in the shape to form a fairly compact whole and thus form the base on which all processed flowers are glued. The flowers used are: Clematis, orchids, Madiba chrysanthemums, Polianthes tuberosa and beautiful green-brown Gloriosa.
