Simplicity in floral designs can often be the most effective.
This modern floral design features red calla lilies.
A glass container is used as a base.
A block of florist foam has been cut a bit smaller than the container, soaked in water for several minutes and then placed in the container.
Stems of equisetum, also known as horsetail have been cut to the desired length to sit level with the top of the container and placed between the foam and the container.
The calla lily stems have been cut to the desired length and inserted to stand upright in the foam.

I hope you had a good Easter break.
We had a great time in Warrnambool which is a city in Victoria known as the shipwreck coast which has a very interesting history.
Alstroemeria are very long lasting flowers.
They can be arranged with other flowers and look wonderful arranged on their own.
This arrangement can be made very quickly.
A tall glass vase has been filled three quarters of the way with water.
The alstroemeria has been placed in the vase having the flower heads about the same height across the top.
The Chinese believe the Happy Plant brings good luck and several stems have been placed along the centre to give extra height and interest.
