A rich tapestry of deep pink Dahlias, orange Asiatic Lilies, green Hypericum Berry (St. John's Wort), deep purple genetically bred Carnations, lacey pink Astilbe, lemon-lime "Limbo" Roses, Plumosus, Italian Ruscus, Deciduous Huckleberry, fresh green Curly Willow and variegated Pittosporum in a contemporary topiary form.
Curly Willow forms an armature through which all the flowers are woven to form an elongated or stretched topiary shape.
Viewed from the end, the arrangement takes on a more traditional shape. From the side, a more contemporary vision. The crossed stems create rhythm and interest. This arrangement works very well in an entry or dining table for buffet service. (The piece shown here was over 4'wide x 16"deep x 30"high).
