Mysterious
This design posed a major physical challenge. However, thanks to the correct wire thickness and careful placement of the supporting structure, the design is very stable. Only one hidden water tube was used, for the leaf of the Anthurium clarinervium. In addition, Epidendrum from Gloriosa van Ruiten was incorporated. The skeletal branches and the dried Mahonia branch give the design a slightly mysterious look.
Floating Autumn
The base of this arrangement consists of a wooden plank to which five lampshades are attached. The wooden legs make it appear as if the plank is “floating.” The lampshades were filled with coiled grasses. A bird has even built its nest here—which remained among the lampshades after the eggs hatched. The inverted lampshades are filled with Oasis and arranged with, among other things: Dahlia ‘Hapet Harmony,’ Epidendrum, Phalaenopsis, Tillandsia, poppy seed pods, Sempervivum, wild marjoram, and Lagurus ovatus (hare’s tail).
Tropical contrast
An arrangement as a decorative ornament with some clear showpiece shapes such as Gloriosa and Epidendrum orchid, processed solitarily. The tropical materials ‘grow’ around a frame of bundled birch branches, forming a beautiful contrast. These birch bundles can be reused, and banana flower (Musa), kumquat fruits (Citrus japonica), Hedera and umbrella plant (Cyperus) also have a nice long vase life.
