Colour Contrasts in Spring


Amazingly it snowed during the 4th week of March. It was very strange to have snow when cherry blossom blooms. The month turned to April and now we have good spring in town. Purple muscari (said grape hyacinths as well) and tulips show great colour contrasts at my garden. I am very much looking forward to the Easter holidays.

Wired bouquet.

This is a first master piece of Saeko's.
Wiring method is quite a work for a beginner, but she has done a great job. Oriental lily , roses, are making great colour harmony.

Easter story
This design was created by Mr. Geoffrey Hughes, who is the past Chairman of British Interflora. Yet, Kyoko creates her own style as well.

Miyuki's friend is getting married next weekend. Congratulations.
I 'm quite sure Miyuki will create a great design.

@ This is a very easy-to-make bouquet style.

Do not cut off the stems. You can bind with nice designer's codes and tusseles, or decorate with cinnamon sticks.

Yellow and purple are the most popular Easter colour. The weather become suddenly warm, all the daffodils bloomed last week and do not look great already. Well, I'm not able to use yellow. Instead, I have so many of grape hyacinths filling at a corner of my garden. It might be a great idea to work on a small arrangements with the flower from a garden.

I still have more grape hyacinths. Normally it will finish in 10 days. Here is another quick arrangement from my garden.

Prepare 3 small glasses in the container. Just set beautiful silver leaves, muscaries and pink alstroemeria. I love easy flower arranging, don't you? by Flora
