In balance
The base consists of a beautiful square dish with three specimens of
the new corner shape from Smithers-Oasis, the Bioline Bio Half Quadro. Elaeagnus leaves (back side up)
are attached to the wooden part of the corner shapes with a staple gun.
To create height differences and dimension in the creation, two shapes are attached
to each other on one side of the dish, and one shape is placed on the other side.
Then, Viburnum davidii berries are inserted shortly into the floral foam; the pale
back of the olive willow leaf contrasts nicely with the dark Viburnum davidii berries.
The whole is finished with mossy branches and Symphoricarpos berries, with some
ornamental pears (Pyrus calleryana) in the middle.
Stately
The base is a dish with two blocks of bio floral foam on which a layer of Eleagnus leaves is first pinned with display pins. Various grasses, including Chasmanthium 'Mantis', are processed on top of this. Yellow Cornus branches are incorporated over this. Limonium 'China White' and Scutellaria 'Tinkerbell' are woven through the resulting frame. To make the green-yellow color interesting, two groups of Alchemilla mollis 'Robustica' have been added. This gives light and brings the whole to life. All plant materials are in the water in the dish, or are inserted into the bio floral foam.
