Stately
The base is a bowl with two blocks of organic floral foam on which, first of all, a layer of leaves of the Eleagnus is pinned with display pins. On top of this, various grasses are incorporated including Chasmanthium 'Mantis'. Over this, yellow Cornus branches are incorporated. Woven through the resulting frame are Limonium 'China White' and Scutellaria 'Tinkerbell'. To make the greenish yellow color interesting, two groups of Alchemilla mollis 'Robustica' have been added. This adds light and brings the whole thing to life. All plant materials are in the water in the bowl, or are tucked into the organic floral foam.
Butterfly Cloud
The frame for this 'butterfly' bouquet is made of 1.6 mm wire transparently lined with fine red Cornus branches. In the resulting open bowl shape, the fully defoliated Clematis 'Amazing Geneva' is tied together with Talinum 'Long John' corn sheaf. By removing the green leaves, the Clematis flowers 'dance' as it were above the Cornus bowl, the Talinum providing a subtle connection between the materials - the delicate Clematis and the robust Cornus.
