Back to nature
A beautifully robust slate container is filled with Oasis Terra Brick. Incorporated in this are many different unusual varieties of flowers placed as they naturally grow from the earth. A beautiful mix of French tulips, orchids, Cambria, Ludisia, Cornus, Talinum 'Long John', Osmunda fern curl, Ranunculus and Nerine are incorporated here. All materials are biodegradable, and can be returned to nature.
More with less
Inspiration for this bouquet is the theme of sustainability - how to create a lot of effect with few flowers. The base is a structure of fine branches: Salix and Chaenomeles japonica. Vertical branches are attached to two circles of fine Salix branches each time. When the branches are firmly together and structure remains stable, the fine flowers can be added: Craspedia, Gloriosa, French tulips, Sandersonia and leaves of Begonia maculata leaves. Then the whole is placed in a flat gold-colored bowl with water.
Contrasting
Blooming grasses from the garden were tied into small bundles with fine bouillon wire - for this arrangement, some 350 bundles were tucked onto a base of Oasis Sec floral foam. At the center of this grass object, or table piece for Easter, glass tubes were inserted into the floral foam and filled with spring flowers: Craspedia, French tulips, mimosa 'Mirandol', small-flowered daffodils and Ranunculus 'Butterfly'.
Pirouette
For the base of this elegant spring arrangement, a stitch vase is plastered with cork, filled with floral foam and fitted with a base. In round stitched layers are incorporated, from top to bottom, dried grasses, Amaranthus 'Yearming Desert', white feathers, Helleborus 'Mammoth Red', French tulip 'Parrot White', Viburnum 'Roseum' and cane plumes.
Symphony in yellow
Plastic bowls with Oasis were placed between the wooden stems of the base. In these are inserted flowers in yellow and green shades: Ranunculus 'Clooney Green Super,' yellow French tulip, Viburnum 'Roseum,' Salix 'Snowflake,' broom (Cytisus scoparius) and various dried grasses.
Spring reception
The sturdy base is made of a wooden column of scaffolding wood on which birch logs are attached. The two large water pipes are each attached to wooden panels with a structure of tile glue sprayed in gold color. The whole is interconnected by a branch construction made of wild honeysuckle tendrils. The following materials are incorporated into the water pipes: French tulip, Crassula 'Paintball Pop', Sandersonia, Viburnum 'Roseum', Chaenomeles and pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana).
