Nature at its best
The white bowl is filled with unusual stones with holes formed by nature. They come from the Normandy coast where the holes were created by wind and sea. The stones give hold to the branches and flowers inserted through the holes and between the stones in a natural line. Nature at its best. Materials used: Magnolia, Tulipa, Ornithogalum thyrsoides, Panicum virgatum, Lunaria annua.
Spring Messenger
In a beautiful earthenware oval pot, Oasis TerraBrick was used as a base at the bottom, In this, dried grass (Panicum virgatum) from the winter garden was inserted and sandwiched. Between the dry grass, spent branches from the garden (Spirea japonica, Solidago, Lunaria annua) have been inserted, giving a beautiful winter silhouette. Spring is revealed in the subtle shape and color of the dwarf iris bulbs. Up close, this frilly soft yellow Iris 'Katharine's Gold' has beautiful bright yellow with blue markings.
Roots
A dried root system of an old rosemary bush was used upside down as a frame for this natural-looking bouquet in shades of pink, white and green. All the flowers and grasses have been given their own place and thus stand out beautifully. Materials used: Tulipa, Panicum virgatum fresh and dried, Lunaria annua, Scabiosa BonBon Scoop 'French Vanilla', Alstroemeria florinca 'White Pearls', Ranunculus 'Pon Pon Malva', Ranunculus 'Charm Pink', Agapanthus 'Glacier', cherry blossom, Anethum graveolens, Chasmanthium latifolium.
Nature on the table
The beautiful ceramic colors differently each time in natural light. The combination with a weathered stump, spent grasses and seed pods on Kenzan toothpicks and the beautiful French Tulipa 'Jonquieres' makes it a (table) arrangement that continues to fascinate, and bloom.
Tantalizing
An upright structure made from thorny branches of a rose bush. They are connected with 1.8 mm metal wire drilled through the stems. The whole stands in a bowl, free in the water on a large kenzan. This beautiful transparent form has an unusual interplay of lines. Inserted into the form are Clematis Amazing Kansas flowers. To enhance the interplay of lines, the leaves of the Clematis have been removed.
Naturally fused
Over an open organic form made of black pokes (1.4 mm) is woven a basket form of Clematis tendrils. Attaching elder branches to this will keep this basic form standing by itself. Next, Clematis Amazing Tokyo flowers are attached in a natural growth form over the braided Clematis tendrils, moving with the movement of the object. The stems of the tulips and Ranunculus were inserted through the frame directly into the water. All flower species have their own height so that natural groups are created, giving the whole object a very natural look.
