A vibrant play of colors
An Oasis BioLine BioWave in a basket forms the basis of this colorful floral arrangement. The flowers have been deliberately mixed, creating a composition where color, flower shape, and texture alternate. Lilium ‘Apricot Fudge’ adds a warm apricot hue; Achillea ‘Neonglow Ember New Red’ adds a contrasting red. The pale pink Paeonia ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ and the more vividly colored Paeonia ‘Karl Rosenfield’ provide volume. Helleborus ‘Classic Grace’ introduces a calmer rhythm among the flowers. The dark foliage of Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’ adds depth, while Gleichenia polypodioides, or coral fern, connects the various flower shapes with its delicate branches.
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.
Rhythm from the Sea and the Garden
Two Oasis BioLine BioWave bases are joined together to form a single funeral arrangement. Scallop shells and dried coral add rhythm to the composition. At the base, Pascal combines the blossoms of Cotinus “Royal Purple” with the delicate foliage of Ruscus. Shortly cut buds of Lilium ‘Apricot Fudge’ provide accents among the greenery, while Helleborus ‘Classic Grace’ rises up from the arrangement. The airy flowers of Sanguisorba ‘Red Dream’ and small pieces of Asparagus setaceus soften the transition between the floral arrangement and the casket.
Between a rosette and a line
The distinctive shape of the open Oasis floral foam base remains visible in this design. Sempervivum rosettes were cut from the parent plant and attached directly to the base with headpins. Flowers and buds of Lilium ‘Apricot Fudge’ add various stages of development and soft apricot hues. Long strands of Flexigrass are woven through the floral arrangement, connecting the compact plant rosettes with the other materials. The seed heads of Scabiosa stellata provide a graphic accent; finely branched sections of Asparagus setaceus soften the transitions. In this way, compact and airy structures alternate within the open heart shape.
A Growing Structure
Two Oasis BioLine BioWave forms on the wooden box support the floral arrangement. Short wooden sticks have been inserted into drilled holes. Biodegradable Oasis BioLine twine runs from stick to stick, forming an open framework with pinecones wedged between them. The orange flowers of Lilium ‘Menton’ contrast with the tones of the wood and twine. Whole stems of Asparagus densiflorus are woven through the structure. Fresh and dried Gleichenia polypodioides (coral fern) add varied textures and soften the transition to the lid. The visible structure is thus a fully integrated part of the design.
Special
In this arrangement, a structure made of insulation tubing, wire, and tape provides a unique base. The structure is covered with Oasis Terra Brick, creating a natural effect. Two sizes of Oasis Biolit Bio Bowl are attached to it. Geertje then arranged warm, colorful flowers at various heights in the Oasis, including Rosa ‘Vuvuzela’, Lilium ‘Fairy Morning’, Chrysanthemum ‘Kalimba Salmon’, Ammi majus ‘Green Mist’, and Chasmanthium.
