Green as grass
Lovely and oh so summery: various corn sheaf tied summer bouquets. Starting with the fresh grasses, each with summer flowers twisted at the same height. Finally, a border of grass is tied around it. In this way fresh summer bouquets are created, an atmospheric decoration of a summer garden dinner. Materials used: Panicum, dill (Anethum graveolens), sunflower, aquilegia and various native plants from the garden or roadside.
Flower ice creams
For this summer flower ice cream arrangement, cones and spheres were made from paper pulp with various dried flowers and grasses. The "ice creams" are attached to the base at different heights with thick copper-colored floral wire with cacti and Craspedia in between. Colored clay is incorporated in such a way that it looks like the popsicles are melting. An arrangement full of summer fun to be enjoyed for a long time.
Sour sweet summery
From a sturdy, robust concrete base rise delicate stalks of dried pan reeds. The reeds form a grid of composed verticality. On these rest earthy organic forms of made paper from which springs an explosion of color; golden yellow dill, yellow-green Cymbidium and bright orange Tagetes and slipper plant (Calceolaria). The flowers are placed in glass globes topped with a layer of scooped paper. At the base of this acid-sweet display are lemons and oranges for even more summer atmosphere.
This is summer after all!
A bouquet with all shades of salmon, orange and pink "captured" in a circle of Panicum grasses. For a round frame, Chaenomeles branches, on which beautiful thick buds are sprouting, were tied together. Between these are inserted the flowers: Campanula, Limonium, Tagetes, dill, Ranunculus 'Butterfly' and the spray rose 'Femke'.
Along the waterfront
Dried sunflower stems are the base of this beautifully narrow and tall construction. Dried Typha cigars form the height of this summer arrangement. Flowers in shades of blue, Centaurea, Delphinium, Scabiosa and Clematis 'Star River' along with the fresh green grasses form an attractive 'along the waterfront' scene.
Swirl
A twisted frame of Akebia tendrils was fixed using a kenzan ring and set in a beautiful bowl. In a twisted form, Dicentra, Euphorbia and Allium flowers were placed between them.
