Tendril
Coconut palm bark is folded into a robust bowl; it acts as a stitching medium for red and green Amaranthus. Winding tendrils of vine (Ampelopsis) snake across the whole.
Bonsai
Fig leaves (Ficus carica) set on copper wire were attached to a 75-year-old Acer bonsai stem and lightly dusted with orange food powder. At the base of the trunk, bulb moss was placed with box fruits of Eucalyptus.
Grass Circle
On a black bowl rests an orchid root ball with floral foam blocks underneath. Fragile species drink from water tubes placed between the roots, the remaining materials are inserted through the root ball in OASIS Floral Foam. Flowers and grasses used: Cymbidium, Chasmanthium, Calamagrostis, Sorghum, Rudbeckia and Amaranthus.
Giant Leaf
In a matte copper-green glazed vase, a large leaf of Tetrapanax is placed on a fakir bed. Across the leaf, like tiny spiders, wander fluff of Clematis; Sorbus berries have also been placed. Tendrils of Ampelopsis provide subtle movement.
Festoon ring
A large and a small metal ring together form the base. From this, a festooned strand detaches, and continues across the outdoor table. Rhythm and repetition set the tone for this classic autumn arrangement. Materials: tendrils, rose hips, dried flowers and berries in various colors.
Generous
A wide, sprawling bouquet featuring Eremurus 'Emmy Ro', Gladiolus 'Live Oak' and various grasses. In the frosted glazed bowl, cocoa fruits in the same warm brownish-red hue add texture.
