Landscape Design

"underwater" landscape design

In Remembrance

Pink lilies, larkspur, peach garden roses, and green fuji mums form a crescent that appears to spring out of a silver sconce.  The design is repeated in a smaller cluster at the base of the easel.

You did say TALL, didn't you?

This sculptural design is comprised of a "tower" of green gladioli with lavendar stock and green fuji mums and roses.  The base of the design is a tall cylindrical vase with a small cluster of green roses inside.  The green berries appear to be cascading downward into the vase.

Simplify

Sometimes it's all about simplicity...

Mass Design

Mass Design

A classification of floral designs utilizing a quantity of materials with little or no use of negative space.  Mass designs are generally associated with certain historical periods, traditional and geometric shapes.  They usually have radial stem placement.


This design consists of groupings of pink roses and lilies with yellow callas, golden yarrow, gerberas and billy balls, with limoneum in a clear glass bubble bowl.  Because of the amount of materials used, prices for mass design arrangements start at $75.

Tropical Paradise

A Curvilinear Design

This tropical crescent-shaped design consists of pincushion proteas, curly willow, and foliages forming a curved line.  The cymbidium orchid bloom and hydrangea in the focal area give the arrangement mass.  Split flax leaves bent in circular fashion imply rhythm and movement. 

Tropical flowers are always available and shipped directly from Hawaii.  During March, some of the best choices include pincushion proteas, cymbidium orchid sprays, and anthuriums.
