Transformation
To depict the transformation from winter to spring, old dried grasses and Hosta seed boxes have been used to form the base. Fresh spring flowers emerge through this, taking over the baton.
The base is a circle of Oasis Sec with goose eggs glued onto it. Many small test tubes are inserted in between. First, process the dry materials in the Oasis, then cover the whole with a layer of plaster and let it dry. Then add the flowers: Clematis ‘Amazing Miami’, Galanthus nivalis, Muscari, Narcissus ‘Avalanche’ and Ranunculus. Finally, the whole is placed on a beautiful gold-colored
plate.
Grown together
Salix branches bent into a U-shape are fixed with 1.8mm braided wire. A refined selection of flowers is placed at different heights in this frame and tied in a sheaf: Chaenomeles, Nerine, Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, Ranunculus ‘Butterfly’, Scabiosa ‘Bon Bon Scoop French Vanilla’, Talinum ‘Long John’, Tulipa jonquieres, Panicum ‘Heavy Metal’ and Limonium ‘China White’.
Enclosed
In a balloon-shaped frame, woven from red Cornus, only Clematis ‘Amazing London’ is used. The green leaf is reduced, making the characteristic color of the Clematis flower even more beautiful – the red of the Cornus also enhances the purple. Because they are, as it were, trapped in the transparent lines of the Cornus frame, the beauty of the flowers is optimally highlighted.
Family
Salix branches are bound in parallel with deco wire around a number of robust glass tubes. The branches are positioned a few centimeters above the bottom so that they appear to float. To maintain this effect, the processed flower stems do not extend below the Salix branches. Flowers used: Polianthes ‘Epic Elsa’, P. ‘Epic Elle’, P. ‘Epic Eva’, Helleborus ‘Mammoth Red’, Clematis ‘Amazing London’, Talinum ‘Long John’, Nerine ‘Sofie’, Tulipa jonquieres, Chaenomeles.
The light and elegant arrangement works well as a complete presentation, but the various components can also be sold separately.
Sweeping
A 'tatami mat' of Cornus branches is tied around a conical shape made of 1.6 mm wire. The defoliated Clematis ‘Amazing Miami’ is bound in parallel within this. A few Passiflora tendrils are also incorporated, hanging down.
Stately
The base is a dish with two blocks of bio floral foam on which a layer of Eleagnus leaves is first pinned with display pins. Various grasses, including Chasmanthium 'Mantis', are processed on top of this. Yellow Cornus branches are incorporated over this. Limonium 'China White' and Scutellaria 'Tinkerbell' are woven through the resulting frame. To make the green-yellow color interesting, two groups of Alchemilla mollis 'Robustica' have been added. This gives light and brings the whole to life. All plant materials are in the water in the dish, or are inserted into the bio floral foam.
