Inspired
Inspired by the painting Still Life with Wild Strawberries (1705) by Adriaen Coorte, on display in the Mauritshuis in The Hague. The simple yet striking composition features a stacked arrangement of wild peaches (Prunus persica), interwoven with delicate tendrils of Duchesnea indica, placed in OASIS® Renewal Floral Foam. Its beauty lies in its simplicity and refined focus on form, enhanced by dramatic lighting - a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age still life painters.
A touch of blue
Bird seeds are glued onto an Oasis Black Biolit Planting ring. For this, the wreath is first covered with paper and tape. Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) branches give the wreath a grand allure. The blue berries are complemented by matte-gloss blue Christmas baubles. The wreath is filled with an Oasis Bio Ring in which Cedrus branches are inserted. The copper-colored Cymbidium (in water tubes) match the seeds on the wreath. The special orange powder brush (Scadoxus) and the Zygopetalum and Dendrobium orchids provide color, but also enhance the exotic aspect of the wreath. A few Cedrus pine cones connect the seed wreath with the blackthorn branches.
