First Design

Monday I made this flower arrangement for a garden club mini flower show.  I got the idea from book I borrowed from the library, Complete Step-by-Step Flower Arranging Course by Daphne Vagg.


I used Delphiniums (2),Gerbera daisies (5), Siberian iris (5) and a single stem of daylilies with four or five blooms. I ordered the flowers from the florist. The leaves are ti leaves.  I wrapped one around the inside of the clear vase to hide the oasis.  I should have secured a frog with floral clay to the bottom of the vase before inserting the floral foam as it was not secure enough with four spots of floral clay at each corner. I couldn't use clear floral tape with the ti leave wrapped inside as it was higher than the rim of the vase.  I think the colors are stunning and a great boost for late February blahs.
