Lines Across a Heart of Peonies
The fully open flowers of Paeonia ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ form a compact surface in which the outline of the center remains recognizable. Overlaying this is a refined interplay of lines created by Asparagus setaceus. Small sections of foliage are mounted on wire and wrapped in fine bouillon wire. Individual Sedum leaves strung on wire form a second green line running through the arrangement. Rosettes of Sempervivum are taken from the parent plant and secured to the center with pins in a clearly defined pattern. The repetition of the geometric rosettes contrasts with the full peonies and gives the design rhythm and an artisanal character.
Wearable Bohemian
Two wide, half-moon-shaped pieces of sturdy cardboard are attached to each other with tape. On the inside, the handle of bound reed is firmly attached. The outside is covered with small pieces of pampas grass plumes in a roof tile pattern. After this, the inside is covered with foil and Oasis MaxLife is attached to the bag. The Avalanche+, in beautiful shades, is glued into the floral foam with Oasis Cold glue. To add refinement to the whole, various Sedum species, leaf materials and Tillandsia are glued together to create a beautiful composition.
