Aberdeen & County Floral Group

A large, strong cardboard washing powder box covered in a black hessian type fabric was recycled by Audrey to use as her next container. A tray of floral foam fitted perfectly onto the top of the box. Flat, black wooden sticks were place at angles, complemented with white larkspur alongside the sticks. To add depth to the design Audrey added white ‘Avalanche’ roses at similar angles. At the base of the criss-cross design fatsia leaves with their “fingers’ cut down, were inserted, concentrating to one side and large white spider chrysanthemum heads were tiered down the other side standing out against the black container. To balance the bold base, beautiful silver grey senecio was inserted to create a contrast.
