After the first arrangement was done, she kindly mentioned that there was a HOLE in one of the leaves and that the bottle looked a bit like a beer bottle. OK, time to tweak.
I also added some more purple to the arrangement and thought it was perfect. Of course I didn't notice that one of the back purple-ma-bobs had slipped down so that the symmetry was awash. Oh well, you can see much better arrangements at AZPlantLady.

Of course I gave my wife the arrangement afterwards and it's now on her desk. She loved it as is.
Hope it brightens your day as well.
Thanks for stopping by Tropical Texana. :-)
Crocrosmia, Peacocks gingers (Kaempfteria), Zebrina, Aluminum plant, small elf alocasia, loripetalum, giant liriope leaves, and common liriope bloom stalks. Note: do not count off for spelling, these were tough without looking at my garden books.
Hello David,
ReplyDeleteYour bouquet is just beautiful. I love bouquets that also feature foliage plants and your orange flowers are just perfect as the center of attention.
I like your blog and the idea of totally going green in the garden. I don't think my husband would be willing to part with his gas lawnmower, but there is always hope. I am looking forward to reading about your gardening adventures.
Thank you so much for participating and I hope your wife can expect more beautiful bouquets each month :-)
I love the idea of garden bouquets. I never think of cutting my foliage or flowers and bringing them in the house. Your arrangement turned out great!
