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).
Staying Connected
Four Oasis wreaths represent the different parts of a family. The circular shape symbolizes infinity and enduring connection. Lily Grass also connects the individual wreaths structurally: the long leaves are directed toward one another and tied together. Lilium ‘Brindisi’ defines the floral composition. Achillea ‘Neonglow Ember New Red’, arranged low in the composition, adds color and depth, while Gleichenia polypodioides, coral fern, and Asparagus setaceus provide delicate branching and movement. The soft plumes of Lagurus ovatus, rabbit’s-tail grass, contrast with the cleaner lines. Begonia leaves and Cotinus add depth.
Playful tenderness
The delicate Gillenia trifoliata flower is perfect for a summery, wheat-sheaf-style bouquet, especially when presented in a large bowl rather than a vase. Dried and bleached Lagurus is arranged in layers beneath the Gillenia. The white, bleached stems add the finishing touch and create a beautiful overall effect.
Soft collar
Franka Roenhorst worked with a collar of soft pink Lagurus ovatus (rabbit tail grass) as the supporting base. Amaryllis, lisianthus, and Vanda were placed in it, supplemented with a few garden branches. Although the design differs from other Dutch work in this series, the materials used and the approach make it recognizable as typically Dutch.
Playful connection
A wooden trough containing ball moss and a frame of reused wooden elements can either be placed on the ground or placed freely in the room on a pedestal - to be admired from all sides. The object continues to attract attention through its different textures and structures. Spray roses, orchids, Clematis and lisianthus are placed in glass water carriers. Rosehip branches, peacock feathers, golden fern leaf (silk), salmon pink Lagurus, Christmas ornaments, paper butterflies and graceful hummingbirds provide playful connection.
Tender spring
This sheaf-tied bouquet contains a range of all possible trendy spring colors: Anemone, Muscari, Ranunculus, Hyacinthus. Salmon-colored hares tails (Lagurus) play a leading role and provide an endearing accent.
