Of course it was the simplest, so easier to get my head around. I liked the way they had manipulated the fern fronds.

Really interesting despite not evoking what the plants are in nature. Art using plant material as the medium. I admire the thought, work and design that went into all of those.

I did think the yellow berries and flowers with the Bird of Paradise was inspired. But overall it was hard to think of these things as plants. They seemed very much like interchangeable products.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-34003672472047571692016-11-14T11:26:00.921-08:002016-11-14T11:26:00.921-08:00I appreciate the artistry that went into each of t...I appreciate the artistry that went into each of these creations but almost all were too busy and overwhelming for me to enjoy as a whole (despite my own predilection for cramming vases). I agree that there are nice touches in many of the compositions that could become focal points in simpler creations. I don't recall that the arrangements you photographed at this event last year were so densely constructed but perhaps that's the fault of my memory.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-11294410701002073442016-11-14T11:15:03.672-08:002016-11-14T11:15:03.672-08:00The creativity of floral designers who put things ...The creativity of floral designers who put things like these together always amazes me.
