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.
Ode to nature
To capture the essence of budding and transformation, vertical structures of wrapped branches and raw wood fragments rise like pillars. Along these, life makes its way out. The base is constructed with Oasis TerraBrick Floral Media, which in this arrangement symbolizes growth and fertile soil. Glass frogspawn floats among the structures, a subtle reference to transformation and the emergence of new life. The flowers used reinforce the symbolism: the orange calyces of Sandersonia aurantiaca open up like points of light in the structure, while Anigozanthos, Nerine and ferns add dynamism and texture. Tendrils of blackberry meander playfully through the work, emphasizing the power of natural growth.
Still Life
In two elegant pots, filled with Oasis Floral Foam Bio, a carpet pad of Gypsophila 'Million Daisy' is briefly inserted. From this base come various beautiful white and cream spring flowers such as Clematis Amazing Vienna, Narcissus, Ranunculus, Tulipa, Anemone, Fritillaria meleagris, Agapanthus, Helleborus, Nerine and Polianthes tuberosa 'Elsa Blush'.
Shards
Broken Christmas baubles are the inspiration for this
easy-to-make arrangement - which also works
works well. The larger shards are glued to the
bowl, the smaller pieces scattered. With pretty candles
and here and there a whole bauble acting as a vase
- containing a carnation, Vanda or Nerine - an atmospheric
whole created.

stitch tubes between the 'Corallo' rosehip.
Natural wreaths
A styrofoam ring was used for the base of each of these wreaths

glued. Around the leaf a layer of broth
