Elegant summers
Matching the transparent, undulating form, fragile lines and delicate white/green materials have been chosen to create a refined balance.
For the base, twelve welding wires (Ø 1.8mm) have been attached and bent in a white wooden plant table. Subsequently, thin pantyhose (20 denier) have been pulled over the wires and secured at the bottom with cold glue. The whole thing has been slightly lightened with white spray paint. Glass tubes and bulb vases have been attached along the edges with Poly Max and then decorated with white flowers and greenery: Nigella damascena ‘Bridal White’ (love-in-
-a-mist), Scabiosa Scoob White, white Ixia and Delphinium, Platycerium bifurcatum (staghorn fern), Aristolochia tendrils and Tillandsia plants
Viva violet
An Oasis Ideal sphere is placed on a bamboo stick for reinforcement and placed in a black vase. All materials are inserted on this; Hydrangea, Asteraceae, Nicandra physalodes, Viburnum, Vitis, Nigella, Setaria italica, bramble and Wisteria (2nd bloom in autumn).
Pure Natural
This hand-tied 'wild' bouquet consists of few materials: fresh Ammi visnaga 'Casablanca', artichoke (Cynara) 'Green Globe', and Nigella 'White Lady'. The whole is finished with stripped Asparagus branches – so only the skeleton of the branch remains. For the green contrast, large wild, faded dill flower heads with seed pods from the roadside ditch were used. A very beautiful natural whole, in a transparent glass vase.
