Blue and Yellow Flower
Arrangement
 |
This design is made in a blue ceramic
modern vase, which I use a lot. A flower pot with the holes
glued up with a glue gun to make it watertight, just fits
snugly into the neck of the vase. Floral foam is used to
hold the flowers.
The height is formed with Phormium tenax
'Variegata'. To the right of this is a group of dried
grasses, dyed blue to match the container. To the right of
this is a group of Cornus stolonifera 'Flaviramea'.
A group of yellow 'Connecticut King'
Lilies forms the focal point. I have also used some yellow
spray Carnations. Foliage used is Mahonia japonica, Hedera
helix 'Buttercup', and at the front, some variegated leaves
of the tree Acer platanoides 'Drummondii'.
I have sliced a lemon and threaded the
slices on a long barbecue stick, to give an added design
dimension, and another lemon and a half are placed at the
base of the arrangement on a blue velvet drape. |
A yellow base brings the colour through to the
bottom of the arrangement. I have also used a green bell-pepper,
skewered onto three cocktail sticks. Some blue tissue paper has
been folded and pleated to form a fan on the left of the
arrangement, and the same paper has been twisted to form two rings
on the right.
