Nature at its best
The white bowl is filled with unusual stones with holes formed by nature. They come from the Normandy coast where the holes were created by wind and sea. The stones give hold to the branches and flowers inserted through the holes and between the stones in a natural line. Nature at its best. Materials used: Magnolia, Tulipa, Ornithogalum thyrsoides, Panicum virgatum, Lunaria annua.
Spring Messenger
In a beautiful earthenware oval pot, Oasis TerraBrick was used as a base at the bottom, In this, dried grass (Panicum virgatum) from the winter garden was inserted and sandwiched. Between the dry grass, spent branches from the garden (Spirea japonica, Solidago, Lunaria annua) have been inserted, giving a beautiful winter silhouette. Spring is revealed in the subtle shape and color of the dwarf iris bulbs. Up close, this frilly soft yellow Iris 'Katharine's Gold' has beautiful bright yellow with blue markings.
Roots
A dried root system of an old rosemary bush was used upside down as a frame for this natural-looking bouquet in shades of pink, white and green. All the flowers and grasses have been given their own place and thus stand out beautifully. Materials used: Tulipa, Panicum virgatum fresh and dried, Lunaria annua, Scabiosa BonBon Scoop 'French Vanilla', Alstroemeria florinca 'White Pearls', Ranunculus 'Pon Pon Malva', Ranunculus 'Charm Pink', Agapanthus 'Glacier', cherry blossom, Anethum graveolens, Chasmanthium latifolium.
Next level
In this bouquet, subtle shades of gray and pure white come together. The base is a wire wreath to which small bunches of Panicum virgatum 'Fontaine' are tied with bindwire. The pure white large flowers of Gypsophila Grandtastic are easy to arrange and last a long time. The grayish undertone of the Panicum gives the bouquet a fur collar, so to speak. The garland of Lunaria annua, judas pennywort, set on silver wire, connects the two materials.
