Flowers And A gift

I like it that you can do so many wonderful things with flowers.

Once you understand the basic design rules of flower arranging you can be so creative.

You can really dress up a gift with flowers.

A bottle of wine is made special by adding a spray of flowers.

This would make an ideal gift to present to a hostess having a dinner party.

A small foam igloo has been soaked in water and is secured to the top.

The stems of roses, orchids, fern and ivy have been cut to the desired length and inserted into the foam.

Long curving grass has been inserted in the right side.

An arrangement featuring the same flowers is placed at the base.

What a lovely way to show your mother that you care by giving her a fabulous floral arrangement.

This arrangement features pink roses, mauve alstroemeria, leucadendrons and pale green orchids arranged in a triangular shape.

A round container has been used as a base.

Florist foam has been soaked in water for several minutes and placed in the base.

The top of the foam should stand at least 5cm above the edge of the container so the side stems can be inserted in the foam.

Starting at the top, the two leucadendrons have been cut to the desired length and placed one slightly lower than the other.


Foliage has been placed down the sides to form a triangle shape.

The pink roses have been placed down the centre in a zigzag line.

The orchids have been placed down the sides and one at the base.

Short pieces of foliage have been placed between the flowers to fill in the centre of the arrangement.

Alstroemeria has been placed between the other flowers.

Wide leaves have been folded into loops, wired across the base with 22 gauge florist wire and inserted in the base.

The foam should be topped up with water every couple of days

To all the wonderful mothers - I hope you have a lovely mother's day.

This European Style arrangement features purple stock, mauve hydrangeas, apricot dahlias, deep red roses, amaranthus and spiral gum in a tall vase.

Florist foam has been soaked in water and placed in a number 6 florist container and secured to the top of the vase with Surestick which is similar to Bluetack.

The stems have been cut to the desired length.

The stock is placed in the foam - the tallest stem should be at least one and a half times the height of the container- you can always go higher. The roses, hydrangeas, dahlias and spiral gum are positioned lower down so the widest part is across the base. The amaranthus is placed around the base to give a lovely cascading effect.
