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.

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.

Winter wonderland

This winter wonderland wreath, because only sober natural materials have been used for this arrangement, reflects a real winter atmosphere. To make a big impact, an XXL size has been chosen: the wreath has a diameter of 1.40 meters.

The wreath is bound on a metal ring with various green materials incorporated. These include beautiful coarse Pinus strobus branches, silver fir, Eucalyptus with and without berries, Taxus, thyme, and larch cone branches.

Playful

In a beautifully mossy piece of cork, holes have been drilled in which Craspedia has been inserted, increasing in length. Various materials that dry nicely have been glued onto the cork: seed pods of Eucalyptus ‘Bellgum’, rose hips, and prepared oak leaves. To give the whole of this longer-lasting arrangement on cork a playful character, grasses have been clamped between the glued materials.

Layered Bulbs

A stack of nuts and polystyrene balls in various sizes is glued onto an iron pin. The polystyrene balls are coated with terracotta-colored clay. Bromelia plants are placed in some of the nuts. Glass vials are clamped in the remaining openings, in which Dahlia flowers and spotted leaves of Begonia maculata are inserted. The conscious choice was made for one type of flower with a round shape. To reinforce the design of the arrangement, the round shapes are reflected in all materials used. As a finishing touch, seed pods of Eucalyptus ‘Bellgum’ and mossy twigs are glued between the round shapes.

Half moon

A half Oasis Bioline ring is compactly arranged with greenery; Ruscus, Grevillea, and Eucalyptus. The inner floral arrangement consists of Eustoma, Matricaria, roses, Astilbe, Freesia, and Chrysanthemum santini. Tea wood creates the connection with the wooden urn. The round moon shape of the arrangement partially envelops the urn and provides a softening contrast to the sleek urn shape.
