Mirror
A good number of rolled Magnolia leaves, with the velvety brown side to the outside, are connected by cocktail sticks. An aluminum bowl, in the same brownish shade, is filled with these rolls. In this arrangement, flowers of Clematis Amazing Seville are incorporated in mirror form of the bowl. Also note the mirroring of the shape and color of the Magnolia rolls in the buds and petals.
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 statement
On a sturdy homemade base of sawn and burned wooden planks, large plug tubes wrapped in rubber have been placed to water the flowers. This will contain pink Tulipa 'Royal Ten', snowball (Viburnum 'Roseum'), Salix 'Snowflake', Amaranthus 'Yearming Desert', Helleborus 'Mammoth Red', Vriesea, Pieris japonica and Magnolia.
