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.

I love orchids and lisianthus and despite their fragile appearance they are long lasting flowers.
These white Singapore orchids and lisianthus are arranged in tall containers and look very elegant.
A tall slim base is used.
A flat container with soaked florist foam is attached to the top of the base.
Starting in the centre the orchid stems are cut to the desired length and positioned to fan out to the sides.
The lisianthus stems are cut short are placed around the base.
Long strands of pearls are positioned to hang down. the sides to give a waterfall effect.
Low centrepieces featuring the same type of flowers are placed along the table
